Chapter 2: My life so far
Hi, my name's Mahia Kuran but my friends call me Maiha. I'm 15 and I've just started Year 10. I have long wavy black hair up to my waist and dark blue eyes with gold tints. I have fair skin and I'm considered 'gorgeous' by the boys in our town (like who believes them away. They only want to get into your pants.). I love to dance and sing, and I learnt gymnastics. Thanks to my parents and grandparents, I handy with a sword, bow and arrow. I also learnt how to ride and had my own horse until a few years ago.
My parents died when I was 8 and I've been living with my elderly grandparents until they died last year. Ever since then I've been by myself. Well, not really. I live by myself, but I always have the support of my best friend Yuri and her family. We've been best friends ever since kindergarten and we do everything together. But around 2 months ago, Yuri disappeared on her first date with Satoshi Himuro. Everyone thought she had just been kidnapped and a request for a ransom would eventually turn up, but it didn't. I knew Yuri's kidnapping wasn't normal. It had something to do with magic. But of course I couldn't tell anyone that. They would lock me up in a mental asylum.
A few weeks before Yuri disappeared; she called me in the middle of the night. She said that she had to talk to me urgently. The next day we met up at our favourite café. She told me about the strange occurrences that had been happening to her. First I didn't believe her. I mean, hands coming out of the bath tub. Hey, but who was I to judge? I could manipulate water for god's sake! But then later, on the way back to Yuri's house, we stopped at a river just to dip our feet in. I mean it was a very hot day! Anyway, when we dipped our feet into the river hands came out of the water and started pulling Yuri in. Quickly, I pushed the water to the other side of the bank until none of it could touch her. We got up and ran away. After that I believed her. I warned her to stay away from water, because next time I might not be able to help her.
There's something no one knows except for Yuri. I can control water. When I say control water, I mean I can form it into different shapes, freeze it and unfreeze it. Its call bending water. I can also heal people with the water, like if it's a minor injury, I can heal it on the person. If it's a major injury, I can transfer it to me. Other people's injuries help faster on me but as a result, my own injuries heal slower than a normal person's. I can also see flashes of the future in my dreams. Anyway, back to the story.
A boy in our class, Satoshi Himuro asked Yuri out on a date. She really wanted to go but he always suggested it at the wrong time or place. Like when it was raining or somewhere to do with water. Eventually they went to the movies but on the way there, Yuri disappeared. It was raining that day and she might have stepped in a puddle. Everyone was looking for her, but no one found her. I knew she had been taken by those hands and I knew I couldn't help her. I thought I would never see her again, until I met her 2 months after she disappeared.
In those 2 months, a lot happened to me as well. There was this boy in our school, he's a senior. His name's Shuri and he's the only son of the richest family in town. About a month before Yuri's disappearance, he asked me out and I agreed. I mean, who would miss out on the chance to go out with the hottest AND richest boy in town. At first he was really nice, but after a while he became really possessive and rude. One day he even hit me! I broke it off after that. He kept on following me and even broke into my apartment. I went to court and got a warrant against him. A week after that, Yuri disappeared. 2 days after she disappeared, Shuri came to me and proposed to me! I couldn't believe it! I mean after all he had done to me, he had the never to propose to me! Obviously I refused and he snapped. He knocked me unconscious and kidnapped me. When I woke up, I was tied to a chair in a room somewhere. He handed me over to his best friend, Zero. The next day, Shuri came back and proposed to me again. Again, I refused. He told Zero that I would not be fed for 2 days. And true to his word, I wasn't.
Throughout those 2 months, Shuri came every day and proposed to me. Every day, I refused. First, he denied me food, then water. Eventually he resorted to whipping me and beating me. After a while, I started notice a pattern in the comings and goings of the guards, Shuri and Zero. One day, I took a chance and escaped. And that's how I ended up running through a forest bare-footed.
