Fiction is the truth behind the lies, and the truth of the matter kiddies, is that magic exists. –Stephen King

"Hush now…"
"… Sniff," the boy sobbed… rubbing his bleeding nose.
He was wearing a white shirt with an ultra-man versus Godzilla logo. Something Rei thought the boy loved. His pants were ripped knee down and blood trailed off his lips.
"Let me see your face."
" They were after me… must run away."
"…"
Sickly…Rei pondered, who in there right mind would come after a child… something's not right with the world. She who considered herself a lady was just about to turn eleven next week. Although for some reason, she doesn't have memories before today. Just flashes.
Someone else's memories?The boy stared at the sky, shielding himself from the droplets the came falling light army ants.
Rei in turn looked up.
"Dark clouds… they'll be coming soon." the boy mumbled.
Despite what you may think… Rei doesn't have super sensitive hearing in this novel, but maybe in the chapters to come. Who knows?
"Come on, it's beginning to rain."
"But…"
"But what?"
Typical…The boy eyed the girl… he didn't notice before but she looked somewhat different.
A gown… light blue, just like her hair… skin white as snow, and those eyes, her eyes.
"Scarlet… like blood."
Rei didn't know what to make of this. The boy seemed afraid or the better word frightened.
He raised his arms above his head, as if to shield himself from her, pulling away… backing into a nearby tree.
Rei decided on a course of action.
"I'm sorry."
Without hesitation, she kicked the boy with her strongest round house kicked, typical of a muay thai expert. Knocking the boy down.
The house wasn't that far… and it's very well known at least in her opinion that you can't help the unwilling.
It was the best choice she thought.
Justifying her actions, she dragged the boy into the comforts of the house.
