Chapter One: The Accursed Daughter (Prologue)
Tell of a story not too long ago.
There lived a very happy family, content and close. The young couple loved each other dearly, cherished their first-born and anticipated the arrival of another. They lived in a fleeting fantasy - till tragedy finally found their home and began to strike, mercilessly, lethally.
Their newborn was welcomed into the world with plans of a funeral. Her mother contracted an infection during the birthing, and died when the child was no more than three. But this was not the last of their troubles.
The remaining father, son and daughter were still in the throes of mourning when death revisited their clouded door: in the form of a cold murderer. In the time of one shadowed, fateful evening, blood covered what was left of the already suffering Kinomoto Family.
None of them survived…at least, that is what they thought.
This story…the hurricane tale of the 'accursed daughter'…continues…To a torrential night, a lightless dark, a chance of fate and a paralyzed stranger.
And to a series of happenings that Destiny has in store.
