Chapter 3: Mio and Mayu

The sound of streaming water can be heard throughout Mio's ears as she thought about the accident. A soft gust of wind flowed through her shoulder lengthed dark brown hair. She closed her eyes and remembered that accident.

"Mio! Wait!" A little girl cried out. Her short dark brown hair flowed just like an ocean's waves.

"You better hurry, or I'll leave you behind!" A young Mio playfully laughed as she ran on ahead the mountain path.

"Mio! Don't leave me behind!" The girl cried out. Her foot stepped on a small mound of dirt on the side of the mountain, which broke off. She let out a gasp before screaming. The young Mio stopped, and looked behind her, only to see a dust cloud of dirt.

"Mayu?" She called out, walking towards the area where she last saw her sister. "Mayu!" Mio looked over the edge of the mountain. There, Mayu's battered body was laying there. But something was wrong... Her right leg was twisted in a way that it touch her head, bending the way it's not supposed to. "MAYU!" Mio screamed. "I'm sorry! I'm so sorry!"

A pair of hands reached out and grabbed Mio's bare shoulders. Mio let out a small gasp, and looked up. It was Mayu, her twin. She was giving Mio a warm smile.

"All of this would be gone soon." Mayu said. Mio nodded.

"Yeah.." Mayu let go of Mio's shoulders, and sat down behind Mio, back to back. She was wearing a brown shirt T-shirt with black sleeves. At her neck was a red ribbon tied into the form of a butterfly. The shirt led to a brown skirt, and brown and black boots. Mio, however, was wearing a brown shirt that showed her shoulders. It had white frilly laces around the shoulders. On her neck was also a red ribbon tied into a form of a butterfly. She was wearing black pants and black shoes. The two of them stared at the forest around them. Mio had another flashback...

Mio was sitting at home, crying in front of Mayu's bed. Her right leg was bandaged up. Mayu slowly opened her eyes, and turned her head to Mio. Her lips formed a pained smile.

"Mio...don't cry...everything'll be alright.." She said weakly. Mio looked up at her and wiped away a tear. Through sobs, Mio finally said,

"M-mayu...Your leg is... It...It won't be able to be like mine anymore!" She went back to crying. Mayu had a shocked look on her small face for just 2.4 seconds, before turning back into a smiled. Her eyes began to tear up. "I'm sorry, Mayu! I'm so sorry I left you behind!" Mio cried.

"Mayu...About that time.." Mio said as she turned around. Mayu was gone. Mio quickly got up and looked around. There! In the distance! Mayu was following a red butterfly! "Wait, Mayu! It's too dangerous!" Mio ran to chase. She didn't notice the small statue next to the tree. She didn't notice that Mayu's clothing turned into a kimono. All she noticed was that from plain daylight, the whole entire forest turned dark, into night, but she didn't care. All she cared about was keeping Mayu safe from harm. She also noticed that Mayu was running towards a light. "Mayu!" Mio screamed. Was it just her? or was the light getting bigger at twice the speed it was supposed to. Mio reached out, and grabbed Mayu's shoulders, making Mayu stopp for a second. Ahead of them was a village, which was being engulfed, building by building, by the light.

"What is this?" Mio thought to herself. When the light swallowed up the whole village, it started rushing at them at breakneck speed. Mio grabbed Mayu's hand and started running. Mayu was having trouble keeping up. "Mio! Slow down!" She whimpered.

"I can't! We have to get away from that light!" Mio looked at Mayu as they ran. Just when they got to a shinto gate, the path had disappeared. "No way! this is the way where we came from!" Mio cried out loud. Mayu looked behind them, and screamed as the light covered her body. She vanished, into the light. Mio pressed her back to the gate's legs. "Mayu!" She yelled. The light touched her face. "it's cold!" She screamed before disappearing into the light.

Meanwhile, the world was slowly being consumed by the light. People were screaming, the tvs would turn into static. Everything was chaotic. What could this mean?
