Chapter 3:
Touya walked with his sister as they strolled through the village, till they got to their house where they lived with Yani. Sirene was teasing him about something. She was always smiling and happy. It made Touya happy when he saw his sister happy. She was the only one who could get him to smile. Suddenly the image went dark and the air was filled with screams and the smell of blood and smoke. Sirene was no longer at his side. He ran around trying to find her. When he did find her it was too late. The demons already knocked her out and were taking her away.
"Sirene!" Touya called sitting up quickly. He cried out in pain as he snapped his eyes shut from the blinding light. He waited several minutes before he attempted to open his eyes, waiting for the vertigo to pass. It was only then did he notice he didn't have any clothes and he was in a strange house.
He found a pair of clothes, though not his, next to his pack on a table near the bed. He quickly put on the cloths and went to find the owner of the house to ask where Marygold lived. Little did he know he was already there.
"Well I see that you are awake. Gave me quite a scare when I found you half dead on my porch." Said a woman's voice. The woman was about 5'8 with golden hair that came to her waist. She had cream color skin with hazel-brown eyes. "I see the clothes are a little big though." She continued as she to say as Touya pull the shirt back over his shoulder. "It was the smallest I could find from on of the boys around here that are about your height. What is your name little one?"
"My name is Touya and I'm looking for someone named Marygold. Do you know where she lives?"
"Of course I do. I'm Marygold." She laughed when she say Touya mouth a little 'oh'. "So tell me why were you looking for me?"
"Yani sent us. Our village was attacked and she told us to come to you."
"Yani! Wait a minute what do you mean us I only saw you."
At that Touya looked down at the floor. Tears forming around his eyes. Mary felt bad she didn't mean to make him sad.
"Here." He said. He handed here a letter. She took one last look at him before opening the letter. She read the letter, her eyes widening with shock. She looked back up at Touya who was still looking at the floor.
"Where is your sister?" Mary asked as she kneeled in front of him cupping his chin in her hands forcing him to look at her.
"I s-she s-she was taken." Touya said fighting to break eye contact.
"By whom." Mary asked still holding him.
"I don't know." Touya said. "I w-was hit from b-behind."
Marygold stared at Touya seeing pain, guilt, sorrow and many other emotions swirl in his ice-blue pupil-less eyes.
"Tell me what happened." She said. She was going to see if there were any clues on who took Sirene.
"Not to long after we came back from exploring the forest. We came home and it was time to go to bed, we protested a bit but finally fell asleep. I don't know how long we were asleep but we heard someone scream so we ran to find Yani. We met her in the hall. She gave me the letter and told us to come find you. She ran to go help as we ran to the forest. One of the houses was set on fire and soon most the village was and the smoke became unbearable and we became separated. I started to search for her but couldn't find her. There were people dieing all around and lots of blood. I heard my name being called so I followed it. I couldn't move or do anything. There were two demons, one of them had Sirene. She was trying to get free but she couldn't. The one who had her pulled out a needle and…. a-and." Touya couldn't continue.
Marygold sat their looking at him keeping silent, waiting for him to continue. After a few deep breaths he did.
"He slammed the needle in her neck causing her not to move. They took her. I didn't do anything. I just stood there. Finally I went to go help her but before I could move I got hit from behind. Everything went black. When I woke up, the fires had died down and no one was alive. I found her necklace that we both have and put it in my bag and started to find you. I want to find her. I should have been there for her but I didn't move." Touya finally broke down and cried. He had never cried before, he didn't want to but he couldn't stop. He felt himself pulled into an embrace and this time he didn't try to pull away.
Mary heard the small clink as one of his tears escaped past her shirt and froze. She felt his small shoulders shake as he cried into her shoulder. She could only imagine what he been through. She didn't want to know what Sirene was being put through if she was even alive.
She pulled Touya in her lap and rocked him back and forth as tears slid down his pale face. After a bit he fell asleep in her arms but she sat and rocked him through out the night.
The next day, Touya seemed a little better. He didn't eat anything though. His mind was filled with the words 'what if'.
Marygold watched him and didn't push him to eat, she did leave food for him incase he got hungry.
It had been 10 days since the attack on the village but it seemed like yesterday to Touya that he just lost his sister. The image running through his mind over and over again. He slowly sank in a small depression mode. He ignored the small boys that wanted to play with him.
When they found out there was a new boy in town they wanted to see if he wanted to play. Touya didn't bother he was still too upset. Besides when they saw his eyes they called him a freak which he didn't take to well.
Marygold decided to tell him what was in the letter.
"Touya come here. I have to tell you something."
