Don't ever go back there again.

The pleads of her brother echoed in her mind, while his image drifted off…

"Brother!!!" She screamed frantically as she woke up, drenched in sweat. Straining her eyes, she looked at the luminous digital clock by her bed. It was 1am. Seemingly hypnosis, She walked towards her PC and put on the headgear. It was 5 hours later when she finally took off her headgear and crept back into her bed before her guardian came and woke her up for school.

Meanwhile, somewhere in The World…

What are you doing to my sister?!

" Oh, finally you are willing to give me some response. Just lie back and watch… Sora." The player blacked out just before his captor burst into a series of cruel, manic laughter.

"What is it? Why did you call me-?"

Ryna walked into the living room and halted before she could finish her sentence. 'Oh no. Please not that,' she thought. Her father was sitting on the sofa with a beautiful lady beside him. He looked up when he heard Ryna.

"Sit over here. We've got something to tell you," said her father as he gestured a sit opposite to them. Ryna sat down on that sofa, looking unhappy at the sight of that woman. That woman was wearing a thick makeup. Deep red lipstick and dark blue eye shadow with a little blusher on her cheek, it disgusted Ryna.

"Erm… let me introduce first. Dear, this is Uchida Nozomi and Nozomi, this is my daughter."

Ryna glared at her father. 'Dear? He called me "Dear"' she thought feeling more irritated as her father called her using such a 'close' word. And since when did he become so closed to that woman that he can call her by his first name.

"We have something big to tell you and you'll surely be happy," started her father.

'Please not that, please not that!' Ryna pleaded to herself.

"We've decided… to marry…"

Time seemed to stop for Ryna. She was staring wide eyes at her dad. She could see his mouth opening and closing but she could not hear anything. She could see the woman sitting closer to her dad and the blush that came to her face. Her dad then seemed to be laughing before putting an arm around her. Suddenly, things seemed to swirl and she was back in her room, the door slammed shut behind her ignoring the calls from her father.

After locking the door, she flopped down onto her bed. Hands over her eyes, she thought of her late mother. All the fun times they had when they are together. It seemed like those times were gone, fading ever since that accident happen…

=Flashback=

"Mum, can we go out together today? Huh? Can we?"

"Sure, dear. Go and call your dad and once we are prepared, we'll be off."

I had asked mum to bring us out that day. She was smiling when she answered me. I saw dad on the phone chatting happily. But yet I went forward to him.

"Dad, let's go out and play today!"

He was ignoring me. I had tried again but was given a glare. Then mum came.

"Dear, maybe we should bring her out for once. We've been working all day long. Since today is a holiday, we should bring her out then."

Father had turned around looking at my mum before turning back to his phone. Telling the receiver that he will call again later before giving me a glare when mum was not in sight.

"Alright, for this once."

Within half an hour, we were prepared. We loaded our things onto our car and we went off to our destination. When we reached our destination, due to full carpark, we need to park at the opposite side. We took our things out and were carrying it with much difficulty.

The road was straight so many cars were traveling in high speed. We were at the roadside ready to cross the road when some things fell out of the package which dad was carrying. He went to pick it up forgetting that he was on the roadside just now. There was a car approaching. I saw a shadow flashed pass me and dad was pushed away.

"MUM!!!!!"

*BANG*

=End of flashback=

Tears fell freely under her hands down her cheeks as she recalled what had happened.

'Mum, why did you die? Why must you push him out of the way? Living here now is like hell. How I wished he was the one who died…or me…'

All these thoughts raced through Ryna's mind as she fell into a restless sleep.
