Sorry this chapter took so long I had some personal issues and stuff sorry.
Puella Magi Mel Magica
chapter 10: I promise I will save her! Part:1
A 2 year old girl rest her head on her mother's pregnant belly. She had short brown hair but had long bangs that were braided. "Mommy I feel baby!" the little girl cheered lifting her head up and opening her big brown eyes.
"That's baby kicking. Do you want a brother or a sister?" her mother asked stroking her daughters hair.
"I wanna sister" the little girl replied. She heard the door open and sprung up. "Daddy!" The little girl ran to the door. Her father picked her up and spun around with her in the air.
"How are my two favourite girls?" He said placing his daughter on the ground.
"Twee girls mommy baby gonna be a girl too." the little girl said leading her father over to her mother.
"Now Kelly I told you we don't know for sure." The mother said rubbing her stomach. "Mommy and Daddy want a son. Would a little brother be so bad?"
"I love baby matter what." the two year old said looking at her mother's stomach.
*~*
"I guess we shouldn't have painted the nursery blue until the baby was born." Kelly's father said looking at paint in the construction store.
"Melanie is a girl she need pink room." Kelly said looking at pink paint. "my room pink. Maybe baby can have purple?" Kelly looked up at her father. He was looking at designs for rooms for boys.
"You and Mommy can have other baby." Kelly said looking sad at her father.
Her father looked at the paint again. He then looked at Kelly. He was happy when Kelly was born and he loved having a daughter but he always wanted a son. A son that he could play sports with and go fishing with. Things that daughters could not do. But Melanie was different a second daughter was different it felt like he would never have a son. He hoped Melanie would be a boy he was going going to name him after his father Melvin. The doctors read the ultrasound wrong they had gotten his hopes up.
"Lets go home." Her father grabbed a random can on purple paint and walked to the cashier to pay for it.
"Good afternoon Tom I heard you have a new daughter congratulations." The cashier smiled as he scanned the bar code on the can of paint. "whats her name?"
"sister name Melanie." Kelly said standing on her tip toes to try and see over the counter.
"I didn't see you there. Do you like being a big sister?" the cashier said looking over the counter at the 2 year old.
"Yep Melanie is so small and cute. She cry a poop a wot dough." Kelly said smiling and putting her hands behind her back.
"Let's go Kelly your mom and the baby are waiting for us." Her father took Kelly's hand and lead her outside the store.
*~ * 10 years later *~ *
Kelly heard a knock on the her bed room door. Kelly was now 12 years old, her short brown hair was now long and tied in braided pigtails. She also now had glasses. Kelly opened the door and saw her younger sister Melanie with tears in her aqua blue eyes.
Melanie was 10 years old. She had chin length dirty blonde hair. She looked up at her older sister and wiped her own tears away.
"I take it the parent teacher interview didn't go well?" Kelly sighed. Melanie was not doing well in school. Their parents kept sending her to get tested for a learning disability but all the test say she didn't.
"The teachers want to send me to an alternative school. Mother said no and father agreed then Mother and father are fighting again." Melanie said looking away from her sister. "They keep comparing me to you. It's not my fault your so perfect." Melanie started to cry again.
"Lanie don't cry its not your fault mom and dad are fighting." Kelly said petting Melaine's head. "They've been married 15 years its going to take more than some bad grades to separate them. They may have been fighting most of the time and I guess dad ran away from home a couple of times"
"Can I sleep in your room sis." Mel said hugging her sister.
"Sure." Kelly said letting Melanie into her room.
In the middle of the night Melanie woke up having to go to the washroom. She walked past her parents room. She stopped for a second and heard her parents yelling.
"It's your fault your family is full of idiots your daughter took after them. My family has doctors and lawyers." Her mother said yelling at the father.
"Your a cashier! You influenced her to be herself and all that shit! She is a huge disappointment and it's all your fault!" Her father screamed. Melanie heard a sound of her father's hitting the table.
"You are the one taking her to all those sport shows and games if you let her be herself instead of trying to make her the son you always wanted." The mother yelled once more.
"Be herself? So you want your daughter to be an underachieving hyper active little brat!" Her father voice got louder and closer to the door. Melanie heard the doorknob turning. "I'm leaving! I'll come back tomorrow to get Kelly and me and my daughter are leaving and never coming back!" He stormed out of the room and down the stairs.
"Fine! I don't want you or your perfect daughter ruining our lives!" Her mother said screaming down the stairs to her husband.
"Mother were is father going?" Melaine said in a squeaky voice.
"We will never have to deal with them." Her mother said looking at her younger daughter and walking away.
"I don't want Kelly to leave. I want to stay with Kelly." Melanie cried.
"You want to be compared to that perfect little daddy's girl." Their mother said said looking away from Melanie. Melanie ran down the stairs and saw her father putting on his shoes. Next to him was a plastic bag containing some random clothes.
"I'm sorry father don't go!" Melanie said wiping tears away from her eyes.
"It's all you're fault, our lives were perfect before you were born. Ever since you were born you have caused nothing but pain stress and arguments!" Melaine's father stood up and looked at Melanie one last time before opening the door. Melanie heard someone run down the stairs.
"Mom stop!" Kelly shouted. Melanie turned and saw her mother holding a gun towards her husband.
"Mother what are you doing!" Melanie said looking at her mother. She had tears running down her eyes.
"This man is ruining our lives it would be better if he was gone!" The girls heard the sound of a gun shot followed by the sound of their father's body hitting the ground.
Melanie looked down at the ground and saw her fathers blood flow out of him. The gun was aimed at his head. It was a perfect shot.
"Daddy!" Kelly screamed out crying and falling to her knees.
"Don't worry Melanie soon all our problems will be gone." their mother turned and aimed the gun at Kelly. "Let's get rid of your fathers perfect little angel. He always called her an angel. Too bad she won't be one she's a foul demon that caused nothing but harm to you Melanie my sweet little angel."
"Mommy please don't." Kelly begged looking at her mother.
Melanie saw her mother's finger slowly push on the trigger of the gun. Without thinking Melanie tackled her mother to the ground. A second bullet was fired in the split seconds before after her mother was tackled but before she hit the ground.
The gun had fallen out of their mothers hand and the bullet went into their mother's chest. She started to bleed rapidly from the wound. The bullet looked as if it went into her heart.
Kelly stood up and ran over to Melanie. Melanie's clothes were covered in blood. "Lanie are you ok?" Kelly said trying to hide her tears.
"Ar-are they dead?" Melanie asked breathing heavily. Kelly nodded she brushed the blood drops off of Melanie's face. "It's all my fault." Melanie covered her eyes and started crying. Kelly hugged her sister.
"It's not your fault. We'll be ok." Kelly said crying, leaning her head on Melanie's head. "I promise I'll protect you."
*~* present day *~*
Kelly and Miyu sat at either side of a table. The room was mostly empty except for a couple pictures of Kelly and Mel as kids. Kelly had given Miyu a cup of tea and there were an assortment of pastries in front of them.
"That's horrible." Miyu said looking at Kelly. Kelly's face had not changed the whole time she was telling her story to Miyu. Her face looked emotionless. Miyu had guessed that through the 5 years since the event she had been remembering the event so much that she began to lose reaction to it.
"You only had one sip of tea and one bite of a cream puff is something wrong with it?" Kelly asked looking up towards Miyu.
"It's too sweet." Miyu replied trying to take another sip of tea. "Even the tea."
"Sorry about that Lanie has a sweet tooth. I'm used to making stuff for her so everything is a bit too sweet." Kelly sighed.
"Speaking of...aren't you afraid that Mel is going to come in and find us in here? It's her house too." Miyu asked.
"No. She won't bother us." Kelly said flicking her bangs away from her face. "She doesn't really care as long as you turn into a witch she doesn't care if you find out about her back story."
"When you became a magical girl did you wish for your parents to be alive again?" Miyu asked.
Kelly shook her head. "No incubators can't bring creatures back to life."
"What was your wish then?" Miyu asked.
"I was just about to get to that. Kids now a days can be so impatient now a days." Kelly giggled a little bit.
"Kid? I'm only like 2 years young than you." Miyu pouted.
"Lanie used to always say that too." Kelly mumbled. Kelly took a sip of her tea and then looked up at Miyu. "Moments after our parents died the police showed up. They began to question us obviously. After that we were sent to a special home for children who suffered recent tragic events. I stayed there for about a year and then our grandmother took me in." Kelly looked into the tea in her cup.
"What about Mel?" Miyu asked.
"You really are impatient." Kelly smiled a tiny bit.
"Sorry." Miyu mumbled.
"However Lanie was in much worse shape. She blamed herself for our parent's death especially our mother. She wouldn't talk to anyone and just stayed in her room looking out the window or doodling. The doodles were just scribbles mostly. She barely talked to anyone and they had to force her to eat." Kelly looked at the pictures on the wall. "After I left she got transferred to a mental institution and was under constant supervision for suicidal behaviour and extreme depression."
"She seems ok...well for the most part she seems like almost normal all things considered." Miyu said she looked at Kelly and noticed Kelly was showing emotion.
"She was a happy child and it hurt me to see her suffer so much I visited her every chance I could but she never got better. I struggled with this feeling for 3 more years. When I was 16 when I met Kyubey." Kelly took a deep breath.
*~*
16 year old Kelly left the mental institution. I was Melanie's birthday and she brought Melanie some sweets. Melanie didn't eat any or even looked at Kelly the whole time. Kelly wiped tears from her eyes. Seeing her little sister stuck in a room by herself with only video camera's to watch her made Kelly feel sad and worried that Melanie won't be normal again. It had been almost 3 years since her parents died and Melanie had only gotten worse.
"Maybe it would better if she was dead then she wouldn't have to suffer anymore." Kelly said wiping her eyes.
"I could help you with that." A small white creature appeared in front of Kelly. Oddly when the creature spoke it didn't move it's mouth.
"Kyubey don't say such stupid things. People don't want others to die." A girl with blonde hair with grey eyes sighed picking up the creature. She was also with another blonde haired girl. The other girls had blue eyes and her hair was shorter. They were both wearing school uniforms that consisted of a red and black plaid skirt and a white blouse and black knee high socks.
"This girl would make an excellent magical girl." Kyubey said looking at Kelly. "I sense a strong will and vast magical potential coming from this girl."
"Hmm Kyubey doesn't say that often." the short haired girl said looking at Kelly. "Nothing seems special about her."
"Magical girl?" Kelly said tilting her head.
"Yep. Kyubey here grants someone any wish and then they become magical girls and fight witches to protect innocent people." the longer haired girl replied.
"Any wish...could he bring my parents back to life?" Kelly asked looking at the blonde haired girls.
"Sorry I can't do that. I do not have the ability." Kyubey stared to Kelly.
Kelly closed her eyes and sighed. Of course it wouldn't be that easy. If Melanie was happy then she would have would have a bunch of wishes. Though most would more or less be about sweets but she would think of something. Melanie was a very optimistic person.
If Melanie was happy.
"That's it!" Kelly said looking happy, she looked at Kyubey.
"You know fighting witches is dangerous. Are you sure you want to be a magical girl." the shorter haired girl asked.
"I am sure I know a perfect wish." Kelly nodded and looked at Kyubey.
"Would you like to form a contract with me?" Kyubey asked.
"Yes. I promised my little sister that I would protect her after your parents died in front of our eyes. She became a different person after this event. I wish that as long as I am alive I want to protect her and her to be happy like she was as a kid. Even if it hurts me I want her to be happy."
"Is this a wish you are willing to risk your life for?" Kyubey asked again.
"If it will make my sister happy again then I am." Kelly said holding her hand to her chest. "It brakes my heart to see her suffer. I will protect her as long as I can."
"Your wish has been approved." Kyubey looked up at Kelly.
Kelly felt a strong pulling feeling from her heart. A green light appeared from the her body and it formed into a object that resembled a faberge egg. On the top of it there was a symbol that looked like a broken heart with the broken halves facing away from each other. There was also demon wing shapes on each side of it.
"Is she awake yet?" the short haired girl said looking at Kelly who was laying on the grass with her head resting on one of the girls bags.
"Maybe I think her head moved." the grey eyed girl said poking Kelly's cheek.
"Oww." Kelly said jumping up. "Was I dreaming or something?" Kelly looked around.
"Nope looking in your hand." the short haired girl smiled. Kelly looked in her hand and saw her green soul gem.
"I suppose we should introduce ourselves." The grey eyed girl held out her hand and summoned her aqua colored soul gem. "My name is Nina and this is Eliza."
"and now you are one of us!" Eliza smiled holding out her yellow soul gem.
"My name is Kelly." Kelly replied. "What does this thing do?"
Before either Nina or Eliza could answer Kelly's cellphone started to ring. It was the mental institutions Melaine was at. The call said that that Melanie was talking and acting very hyper active and happy. Kelly rushed back to the institution as fast as she could.
"Sis your here I missed you! Did you miss me?" Melanie said jumping and hugging her sister.
"Lanie..."Kelly hugged her sister as tight as she could. "I missed you so much." Kelly wiped her eyes.
"Why was I locked in a room?" Melanie said looking at the room she was in. "How old am I?" Mel said looking at her sister.
"You don't remember?" Kelly looked at her sister and saw a look of confusion on her face. "What was your last memory?"
Melanie crossed her arms and closed her eyes. After a few minutes she opened her eyes and smiled. "I remember mother shooting father and then I was sad for a while but the time just like blended together or something." Melanie tilted her head.
"Lanie..." Kelly started to feel her eyes water. For the past 4 years she had seen her sister suffering and felt like she would never be the same again. Kelly was ready to spend the rest of her life looking after her mentally disabled sister. Now both Melanie and herself could be normal again and look after themselves and grow as proper adults. "Happy 14th birthday Melanie."
"It's been 4 years?" Melanie said tilting her head. She looked down her shirt. "Wow I have boobs! How did I miss those growing? You owe me a lot of cakes and stuff for all the birthdays you missed." Melanie smiled.
"I brought you a cake every year, it's not my fault you don't remember. I brought you a bunch of sweets this year." Kelly looked around and noticed the plate they were on was bare. "Did you eat all of them?"
"Uh no it was all the employees here they ate them too." Melanie mumbled brushing powdered sugar off her shirt.
Kelly hugged her sister as tight as she could. "Lanie I missed you so much. Please don't change."
*~* A few days later *~*
"Hmm she lacks the ability to attack." Nina said looking at Kelly who was looking down at her feet.
"Sorry." Kelly mumbled. She was in her magical girl outfit. The only difference was that their was no clover shaped soul gem replica on the front.
"We'll we can't expect all magical girls to be attackers." Eliza replied looking at her soul gem. Which was singling there was a witch nearby. "She has protective spells and the ability to fly because of her wings. She could be very useful."
Nina walked around Kelly looking at the red and black wings on her back. Kelly's soul gem was in the center of her wings. "It difficult when a magical girl's soul gem in on their back because it leaves vulnerable to attacks from behind. You should be very careful, I assume they are the source of our power and if it get attacks or something we might lose our powers or something like that."
"Would my wish be reversed if my soul gem broke?" Kelly asked. Nina and Eliza both shrugged their shoulders and looked at Kyubey.
"No it would not effect your wish." Kyubey replied. He jumped up onto Kelly's shoulders. "I sensed great magical potential from this girl. However her abilities are fairly normal and the fact she can not attack is not very helpful."
"Could your instinct be wrong?" Eliza said looking at Kyubey.
"It is not instinct it is a fact." Kyubey said staring at Kelly. "Perhaps her potential has yet to be realized."
"The witch is getting stronger we should at least try to fight it." Nina sighed. "Just stay close to us and you will be ok." Nina said taking out her soul gem. "Let's go."
"Can't we wait until later." Kelly mumbled. "My sister is probably waiting for me."
"Your sister is ok she's the same age as we are." Eliza giggled. "I wish I had an awesome big sister that worried about me like that."
"Our parents were never really supportive of her. So I was like the only one who she could relay on." Kelly said looking at her feet.
Eliza and Nina looked at each other then looked back at Kelly. "When we first met your initial thought for a wish was to bring your parents back to life. If you don't mind us asking..." Nina said taking a deep breath at the end. "How did your parents die?"
Kelly did not reply. She kept looking down at her feet. It may have been over 4 years ago but it still haunted her thoughts every once and a while. She wondered if she could have avoided it. If she wasn't so smart then Melanie wouldn't have been compared to her all the time. She's a foul demon that caused nothing but harm to you Melanie my sweet little angel. Maybe her mother was right.
No, their mother was never supportive of Melanie either. She always blamed their father. In the end she was the one who was crazy she killed her husband and was nano-seconds away from killing her child.
"It's ok if you don't want to talk about it." Eliza said looking worried.
"My parents were always fighting. One day 4 years ago my mother snapped and she shot my father." Kelly said looking up from the ground.
"Then she killed herself? She left her two children alone in the world." Nina said angrily. "Some people can be so selfish."
"No." Kelly shook her head. "After she killed my father she aimed the gun at me."
"Oh my god." Nina opened her eyes wide. "I'm sorry."
"It's ok." Kelly smiled slightly at her new friend. "If it wasn't for Melanie I wouldn't be here right now. She tackled my mother and she lost balance and her hand moved so the gun was facing herself instead. I can't say for sure but I have a feeling that my mother would have killed Melanie and herself after that."
"I remembering hearing about that on the news. I don't remember it to well but I remember being upset that something so awful could happen to a girl my age." Eliza replied looking away from Kelly.
"I knew your last name was familiar sounding. My school had us make a big card for the LeFevre family. I didn't know that was you." Nina said remembering the card. "I lived in another city then I do now so Eliza's name wasn't on the card."
"We got a bunch of cards and stuff. I kept some of them. If the card was really big then I probably still have it." Kelly said smiling a bit.
"We may have to go over and see it sometime." Eliza giggled. "I want to see how Nina wrote when she was a kid."
"Let's go fight that witch then afterward we can go to my house and look at it." Kelly smiled. "And you can meet my sister. I bet she would love to have from friends her age."
*~* Present Day*~*
Kelly stood up and walked over towards a drawer nearby. She opened it and took out a card that folded multiple times. "It kinda of got folded multiple times. Recently I looked at it and saw two other familiar names."
Miyu unfolded the card and it looked very familiar. She opened the card her eyes immediately went towards the center where in big letters she saw one message that stood out. Sorry for your lost I hope we can be friends someday! 3 Aside from the obvious spelling mistake. Underneath was also another familiar name. You are in our prays. We pray and hope for your happiness. (and sorry for Miyu's lack of empathy).
Miyuki Miller (you can call me Miyu if you want to)
Alison Williams
"No..." Kelly looked away from Miyu and at the card. "She wouldn't have wanted to become a witch so I guess it's not a bad thing."
"So...what happened next?" Miyu said curious of what events followed.
