ToY

by Lady Shikyo

Abused and scorned for no known reason she finds peace only in the company of the mute, until a certain Queen is taken to a new world and unknowingly drags along our little hurt ToY. Perhaps this is a second chance, but what happens when the ToY breaks?

Yo, peoples! This isn't really a chapter, as you can probably see from the word count. If you're reading this, go look at my other story! It's a quite a bit longer than this, though in the long run I think this will end up longer…Also, this is not a tragedy, angst (at least not too much), or romance, but it does have potential for that last one. And yeah, I know this is way weird.

Don't own Twelve Kingdoms. Duh.

ToY: Prologue

It wasn't a life, not really. It passed me like a fog, never touching me except for the occasional bursts of rain. There was a sun in there, somewhere, from time to time. Those few occasions that the little ones would come to me, the short days that were so peaceful. They didn't scorn me. They accepted me, and they never judged me. During those times I could forget about the abuse at school and home, the ones that hurt me and the ones that ignored me. But that time is long gone. Now things are different, though not much.

Now there is no escape.
