Chapter 3:

My One and Only Friend

Part 1

12 years ago

A child stood outside of a small White House holding a bag that was slung across her tiny shoulders. Her were eyes blindfolded and her hair was neatly combed and parted. She wore a sapphire dress that hung past her knees. Her small frame was skinny and weak, bruises consumed her arms and legs. The sky was a gloomy dark grey color, a small fuzzy dot was barely able to shine through the thick cloud. The little girl, Sora, walked forward. Navigating for the small child was not hard through the cobblestone streets though her sight was blocked by the white cloth.

"Hey, look!" Some older adult woman voice whispered from behind her.

"Who? that gloomy child?" A male voice said.

"Not just any girl, I hear her eyes are cursed, that is why she wears the bandage over her eyes! If you look in her eyes you will be paralyzed!" Whispered the woman.

Sora could hear them and she didn't care, she was used to this people whispering things behind her back. Her dad said that she shouldn't listen to them, that they were just afraid of things that they couldn't control. Sora would listen to her dad.

"What! Really!" The man now whispered.

'After all words don't really hurt me.' Sora thought.

"I heard that she killed her own mother."

Pang

"Wow! Really what a messed up kid."

Crack

"Yeah, the mother really spoiled her too despite her mutation,"

Bam

"And when her mom said 'no' she was so angry she took off her bandage and paralyzed her mom."

"What a monster!"

Sora clenched her little hands into fists. That was far from the truth, though it was true that her mom loved Sora and Sora loved her mom, but Sora had nothing to do with her mother's untimely death. It all happened a year ago, though everybody has been talking about her before ever since she was a child. Her moms death just added fire to the flames. Mages barely lived in this area of Fiore and even if they got close to this town they would be exiled. The villagers were more afraid of their power than anything.

"Hey! I think she can hear us!" said the Male voice.

"I DON'T CARE!" The other person yelled.

The little girl flinched and the tips of her dirty boots caught on the stone causing her frail body to meet the ground. Sora cried out as the pain swallowed the little girl, as bruises ached all over her arms. The people passed the girl, the woman smirking at the fallen child, the other scurried past her in fright. As she pushed herself up she saw a little peek at the people who passed her through the blindfold. Tears brimmed the girl's eyes and dampened the white blindfold.

'Why does everybody hate me?' Sora asked herself.

Of course the small child knew the answer, her eyes. Ever since she was a baby they had been covered. It had been years since she had seen her eyes and she hardly remembered it. Sometimes she would be able to see through the white cloth as if it was transparent and the little girl would have a peek at the cruel world that pushed her around.
