AN: Here is Chapter One of Alone Until Now! Please review and tell me what you think!
When I land on Earth, my place of refuge, I am confused. Perplexed thoughts invade my mind. I have landed behind a building, where trees grow thickly and close together, in the middle of a cool night. When I was told stories of Earth and how the Sun rests so the moon shall show its face, I was skeptical and near disbelieving. Because of where I have lived from most of my life, light has always shown. Never was there a dull moment so it was hard for me to believe that the Earth had no sun to provide light for a while and the citizens slept in the dark. This lifestyle was quite odd, but I suppose I will have to adapt for the time being.
Sounds of battle interrupted my train of thought. I was curious as to why this place sounded like the training grounds, where I could almost always be found, when it looked so peaceful. Pinpointing where the noises were coming from, I hid behind the trees that bore no leaves. I heard that Earth had seasons, but the place where I am from is constantly warm and no seasons presented themselves. It was slightly cold, which caused little bumps to crawl across my skin. To not let myself to become too distracted, I decided to figure out why my body was reacting the way it was later.
Setting aside my confusion, my eyes curiously watched the scene before me. There were senshi wearing uniforms that were similar to mine. My uniform was designed as thus: white short-sleeved, impenetrable leotard; bright yellow skirt, choker and heels; red bow placed in the middle of my chest, connected to my leotard and one on my back stitched on the seam that connected my leotard and skirt; and red earrings donned my ears. My long hair, I place in a high ponytail while in my senshi garb, is red on top and as it proceeds to flow, it turns from red to a bright yellow. It is like nobody's I have ever known, except for my mother's whose name still causes me pain so the story that pertains to her is for another time. These senshi, I sense, are so powerful, especially the one with buns. Her aura is so pure and white, and is so familiar. I've seen her before! Obviously not in person, but in books and my dreams. Before I fled from my home, I dreamt that she came before me in a white, flowing dress and asked for me to find her. To find happiness. There was no way I had found her after only a fortnight of searching by my crystal's pull. Was this really where I was supposed be?
I heard something behind me. No, someone was creeping towards me. I can tell by their swiftness that they were trying to keep quiet. They were fast, and I thought I was fast enough. I turned around, ready to defend myself when I noticed that the person only a few feet ahead of me was wearing a senshi fuku as well. It surprised me, they had more senshi other than the ones who were practicing their skills in the courtyard. Maybe these are the legendary planet senshi that protected their moon princess? I have had many lessons on these strong warriors, but they look completely different. It was probably because we only had paintings of them in their formal gowns and not their uniforms. Not wanting to upset the short- haired senshi that was closing the space between us, I did not resist when she took a hold of me as if I were a prisoner, with my arms behind my back. She led me out where the rest were training. Guilt and shame flooded my stomach as she proceeded to cough, gaining the others' attention.
When she was content when everyone was staring at me she spoke. "Look who I found, you guys. It seems as if we have a spy."
As if I was not embarrassed enough to be caught!
I was being accused of being a spy. How was I going to fish myself out of this predicament?
