'Its cold

Darkness engulfing my entire vision, blinking several times my eyes slowly began to slowly adjust. But even so, all I could still see was pure darkness. What am I doing in a place like this alone? My body feels numb and stiff, trying to move proves to be even more complicated than breathing it self. What's going on why can't I see anything? Why can't I move? I want to scream, but as I open my mouth to do so nothing comes out….nothing at all. Why….why cant I feel or do anything? Why does seem like I have been in this kind of place before? Why…? I can feel my warm tears prickling the cold skin of my face as they flow down, faster and faster each time. I don't want to be here, but somehow inside I feel like I do. NO! STOP! I can't let it slip just yet I have to hold on longer.

I have to…

Eh!?

Light I see light

Using all the strength I could muster I lifted my hand up to the glowing light, dispersing as it made contact with my hand and blinding me for a few seconds. As the blinding light disappeared all that was left was a glowing…a glowing broken mask ready to completely brake in any given moment. My body began to shake as tears once again flooded down my face. It cant be…that cant be mine….THAT CANT BE MINE!?'

Fine stirred, slowly both ruby red eyes flutter open. She blinked several times, lying motionless in the twin size bed, before moving her upper body to stand. Leaning her back to the beds' head rest, she move her left hand to rub at her blurry eyes. Folding her legs she let her head rest in both knees 'if that dream is correct than that means I don't have that much time left before the mask completely brakes…but I don't want that to happen just yet, I don't want it to happen' furrowing her eyebrows, she buried her head in between both knees as fresh new tears spill down her eyes. Her whole body trembled as she silently cried her heart out, lifting her head she furiously wipe out the tears with the palm of both hands.

No she can't allow this to continue, untangling both legs from the bed sheets she stood up. Picking up her Wonder Academy's uniform from the bedside table, she began to change from her nightgown into it. Picking up the brush she started to untangle the mess of hair, and putting it up into her usual low pigtails, moving away from the bedside table she proceeded towards the door were she grabbed her red ankle boots place them of both feet and walking out her dorm. Slowly to not make any noise she close the dorms door and walk down the long hallway towards the exit of the building.

It wasn't unusual for her to wake up early to take a small walk around the campus, even when she use to share a dorm with her twin sister, she would usually without making any noise walk out the door before her sister could even wake up. That's right it has been about two years since she enrolled to this school, and it has also been one year since she was move out from her twin sister dorm, so she could complete all her night missions with out having to make her sister suspicious of what she was doing all night long. Missions, she hated more than anything to do the schools dirty work, but she does them to keep both her family and friends safe from the Black Crystal organization and from the Dangerous Magic teacher.

Sighing she slowly open the double doors, the chilly breeze prickling her warm skin, making her slightly shiver as she walk away from the dorms building. Walking slowly she enjoyed the peace that the early morning brought, closing her eyes, she let her feet drag her to the place she many times has gone when something trouble her. Tilting her head back she let the cool breeze play with the lose strands she forgot to tuck in her pigtails. The lowering moon shining brightly at her figure as she continued her walk. She didn't know what it was but somehow she feels like some big part of her is missing, like as if all her memories were lock but the feeling was still there present.

Opening both eyes, she slightly smiled at the small hidden garden that Shade showed her and the others, since then it has been her favorite place to be when ever she finish one of the many missions she did. Walking in, she began to roam the garden until spotting what she was looking for. Walking a few steps, she stopped to kneel down in front of a small rose bush, the smile she wore widen as she saw the gold ribbon tied to one of its stems. "How is it going RoseMoon, I hope your stem has been healing well from the last time I saw you"

There was no response to her question, but she didn't mind as she continued talking to the small rosebush. Even thought the small plant didn't talk back, she some how felt that it was listening to her, asking her to continue talking. Time went by quick as she talk and talk to the small plant, looking up she notice that it was time to go. Getting up from her kneeling spot, she dusted her uniform and looking down at the rose bush one last time she smiled at it "good bye RoseMoon"

Putting completely up her mask, she walked along the long corridors of the main elementary building. It didn't worry her that much when she was the first to arrive, she actually prefers it that way, but somehow as she was walking towards her homeroom something inside her told her that something was not right. She didn't know what it was exactly but her stomach began to get butterflies as she walked closer and closer to that room.

"Don't you guys think that its time for her to stop acting so childish and immature"

She stepped dead cold in her steps as she heard the familiar voice of one of her friends, 'What's going on why are they here so early I am usually the first one here'

"Yeah don't you think she acts way too tomboyish for her own good"

"And even if we try to explain to her our problems she wont understand"

"Ugh I cant believe she's my actual sister have you guys seen how she always embarrasses me when we are doing sports"

Her breath hitched in her throat as the familiar sound of her sisters voice flooded through her ear, there was no doubt those were her friends, but there was also no doubt they were talking about her either. Her hand shook as she stood listening to them talk about her; she could internally hear the cracking of the mask she was wearing. 'It can't be why would they be talking badly about me'

"No one will ever come to love her, no one will"

"Your right Shade no one will ever love a gir.. iie no one will ever love a monster like her"

Her eyes widen, as tears began to run down her face. She still remembers the time she promised herself to never let her mask brake into pieces.

She lied.

The mask she tried do hard to keep from braking multiple times finally gave in. her bangs slowly descended down her face creating a small shadow that didn't let anyone see her eyes.

"I would prefer you Rein to become…"

Shade's sentence was interrupted by a loud bang, instantly everyone look over at Rein who had was leaning over a desk her fist curling tightly at her chest. Pain was drawn all over her small pale round face. Her teeth were gritted together, she had felt it, she had felt a small part of the braking in Fine's mask, but most of all she had felt the braking of their 'twin' connection. In that moment she knew that she was in the other side of the door, but when she was about to warn the others, the door slammed open.

Walking in was Fine her eyes all cover by her bangs, tears could be seen flowing down her cheek towards her chin. Everyone's eyes widen in surprised when Fine finally decided to look at them straight in the eyes. They all shook a bit in fear as they look straight into those emotionless pool of scarlet red color, as hard as they tried they couldn't see the spark that those eyes use to hold.

"…So this are my so called friends, I never though they would talk behind my back like this, it never cross my mind that they would hurt me like this, no it never ever did cross my mind"

Chills ran down their spine as the devoid of emotions and cold voice reach their ears. Fine noticing their shock faces turn on her heels, and sprinted out the door as she finished her small sentence, her destination the head masters office. Shade always being the best to compose himself sprinted out the door just a few seconds behind her. Rein still feeling the pain of the broken bond, could no longer take it succumbing completely to darkness; Bright noticing rapidly grabbed her and carried her rapidly towards the nurse office.

"I am sorry Fine, I am really sorry, so please don't leave me"

But not even that apology could make Fine piece back together all those broken pieces of her mask.
