It was such a quiet and still night. In this a big, bustling, fast-paced city. There was a slight wind blowing. Good thing I brought my jacket. It was the kinda night that gives you the chills. There wasn't even a person or car in sight, as in there was no life left. Maybe it was all because I felt lonely, that makes everything seems to be so lifeless. It was just me and my music. all alone on this dark long road. Not knowing where I am headed. Thinking where did I go wrong? How did everything end up to this? How did I end up so alone? I started looking for answers , it all lead up to the past. The past I can never forget...

Akiza 7 Years old

"Happy Birthday to me." I kept on singing over and over to myself in the mirror. I was 7 years old today, which meant one year closer to me being a grown up. People would always tell me that I was a bright, clever, and bubbly child. I loved to smile and always made sure those around me was smiling too.

I went to my closet and wore my new clothes. Mommy bought me a new dress. It was a fuchsia colored dress with black roses, I loved roses. After putting it on I wore my elbow length gloves with my knee high stocking. Mommy wears them all the time saying it makes a women looks classy, whatever classy means.

I looked at my reflection in the mirror and made sure to smile really big. I thought I looked super cute. I brushed my shoulder length hair and ran downstairs. As I was running the last step of stairs. I saw daddy and started slowly making my way down and holding my head up high, like a women.

"I saw that missy." My dad said while laughing. He had the greatest genuine laugh. I always admire that about daddy.

I went close next to him and pouted my lips and put my hands on my hips. "You saw nothing mister."

"Oh is that so." My dad said while giving me a look of disbelief. "Then I guess someone won't be getting their present."

Thats when things got serious. "Okay fine you saw everything." I said with a still face, while holding out my hand.

Daddy gave me a high five, I scowled at him.

"Hey watch the attitude Missy, you don't want to be grounded today." Dad said with a stern face."Fine I am going to see mommy then." I said walking off to the kitchen. There was a delicious aroma in the kitchen. Mom was a wonderful cook. She was making so much pastries for my party. I didn't invite much people all because of mommy and daddy. They wanted to invite all of our family members, which left me only 10 people to invite.

When I got to the kitchen mom was hard at work finishing the last touches.

"Mmmmm it smells delicious mommy." I said sniffing the hair while sitting on the counter.

"Well wait until you see your cake." She said making her way to the fridge. She pulled out a two-tier cake. It was red and covered with pink roses. It was beautiful.

"Wow mommy your really good!" I said in a really high tone. "You should open a catering business."

"Hmm you think I would be good at it?" Mommy asked me in a surprised tone.

"Totally, I can't wait to eat it." I said skipping back to the living room.

We have a really big house because of daddy. He is the Senator of New Domino City. The whole house was decorated in banners, and ribbions, and balloons. It was gonna be a great birthday.

After everyone has arrived and we all had our fun. Daddy announced it was time to eat, so we all gathered around the dinner table. I sat down and waited for what he had to say.

"This day goes out to Akiza on her 7th birthday may all of her hopes, wishes,dreams come true and I would like to start by giving her something very special."

Thats when I got really excited I could barely stay seated. But I had to keep my manners in front of all these people. I couldn't wait.

"Okay Akiza hold out your hand and close your eyes." Daddy said while approaching me.

This is it I thought to myself about to burst from the excitement. I then felt something cold around my neck I looked down to see a rose pendent necklace.

"I don't like it." I burst out. Everyone started laughing and all I heard was a heyy

"That is your mom's present, thank goodness I did not listen to her and got you something else." Daddy said laughing and trying to avoid the look from mommy.

I quickly started at mommy scared she was giving me the look. She had a mad look on her face, I smiled awkwardly yup I am in trouble I thought. I bent my head down."Now are you ready for my gift?" My dad asked in his really loud booming voice. I nodded so much that I felt my head was about to fall off. He then pulled out a red shiny box. I open the box and I was speechless. Inside it was a card, my first card!

"That is Black Rose Dragon a very beautiful card for a beautiful little girl." Daddy said smiling and staring at me.

I took the card and run up the stairs quickly, half way up I yelled out "Thank you!"

I ran to my room and started dancing with the card. I was so happy I had received my first card and it was beautiful strong rose dragon! I loved daddy so much.

"I play Black Rose Dragon!" I said over and over again, really liking the way it sounds.

I was having a lot of fun with it. But just then something happened, strange purple lights appear. And something had appeared on my arm. It looked like a claw. I close my eyes from the bright light and heard a screech. And I saw something big and scary outside my window.

"DADDY!" I yelled.

Senator/Mr. Iyaz pov

It was a very fun night, but all of a sudden people started pointed and screaming. I turned to see what was the commotion all about.

Whats going on here?" I said. I saw it a big black dragon outside our glass window I couldn't believe my eyes. But then a closer look it resembles the card I just gave Akiza.

"DADDY!" I heard Akiza screamed.

"Akiza I'm coming hold on! I yelled back. I got really worried about my little girl . I ran up stairs as fast as I could. And when I opened Akiza's room and what I saw would never be forgotten. The same card I gave Akiza was brought to life. Akiza had these strange purple lights around her and that thing was standing behind her.

"Oh Daddy" Akiza said while crying and just then she had fainted. Then the dragon started screeching and looked really mad.

"Akiza!" I yelled. I got really worried. Whats going on here I thought and just then the dragon disappeared and the purple lights disappeared in her body. I ran towards my little girl. Who had fainted instantly.

I held her in my arms

"Daddy I'm scared." she said weakly barely opening her eyes.

"Don't worry sweetie I am here." I said. I didn't know what to do I didn't know how to think. Was Akiza the one who was controlling that monster? It couldn't be possible my sweet little girl summoning a monster. I held her tight as I hoped and prayed it will never happen again.

Two weeks later

I had been asleep for more then a week now I woke up on a gloomy rainy day. And since then everything has changed for me. Everyone just started treating me different.

I am not allowed outside anymore, everyone avoided me even my friends at school, even Mommy and Daddy started acting differently.

They slowly became a small part of my life. Which left me to be very lonely. They even took Black Rose Dragon away from me. They told me if was for the best, but it sure did not seem like it.

A month Later

I had a nightmare and somehow Black Rose Dragon appeared outside my window. I was terrified of it, but then it grabbed me with one of its thorns, and threw me on its back and it flew into the nighttime sky. It was the most wonderful experience of my life. I mean I was flying,well sorta. All the city lights were so pretty the wind was at ease. Black Rose Dragon looked back at me I smile and started laughing I haven't laughed or smiled in a while.I was having the time of my life.

After 15 mins she brought me back home. At soon as we landed my parents were waiting for me outside. They had the most worried expression I had ever seen

"Akiza get away from that thing!" my daddy yelled

"No daddy its harmless." I said trying to reassure them

"Sweetie get away from that monster." my mom said with her voice breaking of fear

All of a sudden Black Rose Dragon started screeching with rage. I felt so much energy flowing into me. As if me and Black Rose Dragon were connected.

"No don't say that your hurting her feelings, shes not a monster she's my friend!" I yelled at them

"Akiza come here now I said!" my father grew very angry

I started crying and then I felt a strong wind behind me, I looked back to see Black Rose Dragon ready to attack.

"Akiza come here now I said!" my father grew very angry

I started crying and then I felt a strong wind behind me, I looked back to see Black Rose Dragon ready to attack.

"No don't hurt them!" I yelled terrified. And with that Black Rose Dragon disappeared and I fainted.

8 Years Old

After I turned 8 things got worse for me. Black Rose Dragon started to appear more often At home,at school, even in my sleep. My parents didnt know what to do with me. But this thing wasn't harmful she would always protect me . Like when I have a bad dream or when someone picks on me she is there to help me. Black Rose Dragon attacks whoever hurts me, even though it hurts them they deserved it. But no one would ever listen to me they saw me as a threat. Everyone is scared of me even daddy. They would always have me stay in my room, they won't even let me do anything I was so lonely. I didn't have friends and even daddy started distancing himself from me. I turned to my cards for support. I skipped school one day and bought a plant type deck. Since it was all I had now.

I went from the the sweet bubbly girl, to a very cold and distant little girl. A lot would say I was really cold for my age, but it was all because I had no one actually I didn't want anyone. All they would do is hurt me. Black Rose Dragon is enough for me. Everywhere I went people would stare and call me that thing or a monster. I hurt people on accident I never actually meant to hurt them even though they have hurt me. They even harass my father at work because of me and its hard for them to be in public. My rage started growing day by day. I just kept on getting mad. My family started giving up one me with every passing day. Daddy would get really mad at me for hurting people he never once cared for who has hurt me. He would always slap me and send me to my room without supper. Then one day I got really mad at daddy and I accidentally hurt him with my powers.

"You don't care about me anymore!" I yelled angry

"Honey its not that I just have a lot of work!" my father replied yelling at me with rage.

"That's what you always say!"

"Akiza enough I have work!" my dad yelled

Then I got really mad and I don't know how I lost control of my power and hurt him. I had him pinned to the wall with my Rose Tentacles.

Oh no daddy!" I said after I saw my father against the wall in pain. Mom was next to him. I tried to walk towards him.

"No stay away from me you...you monster!" daddy said.

"Iyaz don't say that!" my mother said.

"You think I'm a monster?" I said crying really hard. That's when I ran out of the house as fast as I could

"No Akiza I didn't mean it come back!" my father yelled after me.

But I was crying so hard that I didn't hear him.I am a monster I said crying . I was running of course but I didn't know where I was going. I just knew I had to get out of there. That would be the last time that I would see them. I didn't want them to suffer anymore because of me I grew tired of all of it, of everyone mistreating me and not caring about me. I was alone and hungry for three days. I wanted to go back but something wouldn't let me.

It was a really hot and humid day I just then fainted from exhaustion.

" Aw Akiza you poor thing lets get you some help." the stranger said

And just then my world went black.

"You were born a child of light's wonderful secret- you will return to the beauty you once been."
