Chapter 6
We are different and alike…
We are opposites…
Complete opposites…
Fire and Ice do not go together,
But…
I would have done the same thing…
And not ever regret…
Thank you for showing me that…
------------------------------------------------------
Lightning struck, and thunder clasped the night sky. Rain started to fall. The sound of bullets pierced the air. Natsuki's eyes struck open.
The little pains she had been receiving fully activated. Covered in sweat, or drenched, she slowly got up. Her muscles were sore, and her head rung out.
Shizuru slept silently, in the spot next to her, while she walked to the hallway, hoping to find any means of water to drink.
She opened the door to the staircase and went in, and her legs went numb and gave out. Natsuki fell down the stairs, hitting her head and body many times, and thumped onto the ground, whimpering in pain.
She opened her eyes. Her legs wouldn't move. She opened her mouth to yell for help…but no sound came out. A strike of cold fear hit her, and she shuddered at the thought.
Pain erupted over and over inside of her, the heat rising up. She felt like…she was going to die. Her eyes widened with shock, as the pain started to freeze. And it froze, creating a cold sensation in Natsuki.
She closed her eyes tightly, feeling the pain rise up again
She heard the sound of water, the rainfall, and thunder. The sound of destruction, of the worst thing that could occur in the never-ending darkness. Gripping her chest, she found it harder to breath.
Help…someone…
Natsuki frantically tried to move, but nothing worked. She only stared up at the dark ceiling, gripping her shirt, and awaiting more pain.
I'm going to die…no…this…this isn't fair…
Her breathing stopped. Natsuki felt fear stab at her, as she desperately tried to breath. Nothing moved anymore, and her hand fell to her side. Tears slowly dripped out of Natsuki's eyes.
Not…like this…I can't die now…
The tear hit the ground, and Natsuki's breath was returned. She inhaled, and opened her eyes. Her tear shattered.
"What?"
Natsuki looked at the ground at the frozen tear, now shattered into a billion pieces. She put her hand on the marble floor, and the ground that her hand on instantly froze.
"…wha…whats…whats going on…?"
Natsuki stared shocked at the piece of ice on the floor. The words wanted and that needed to be said were never said. As if Natsuki herself froze. Shock and sudden realization hit her, and Natsuki's vision faded. What was going on to her seemed like a dream- better yet, a nightmare. Shaking, and even starting to sweat, Natsuki picked up a piece of the ice shard, feeling it stab into her skin. Blood seeped out of the cut, spilling over the shards.
Turning the shards into a deep red. Awaken. The one word, pierced the air- no, the whole atmosphere around her, as if someone was shouting it in such a distant voice. The sound itself was incomprehensible, making Natsuki's head hurt. Was it really the noise?
Sharp pains filled Natsuki, as the tears soon came out. The blood seeping out itself began to froze, and panic alerted Natsuki. Shivering and crying, Natsuki felt like a young child. One who had lost everything. Just like her.
Sequence of events happened within her mind, flashbacks of her painful past. No, no, no! The words would echo throughout her mind. Why this had to happen, it was only natural one would suppose. But if one did suppose that, that one person was most likely crazy.
Her voice was suppressed within her throat, seeking and letting Natsuki know it was there, yet not making itself have any effort to escape in to the barriers of sound. Natsuki flailed around, wailing and screaming inside her head.
Please, someone…make it stop. It…it hurts…
--
Shizuru's eyes opened. Something felt wrong, as she felt a cold breeze. No warmth emitted from the window, which meant that either was really early, or today was a storm. Today, her birthday. The sound of a grave silence went around her ears, as she felt for Natsuki. Nothing, but air.
"Natsuki…" The name flowed out of her mouth ever so softly. At first, it was expressed with great compassion, caring…love. Then, it became a siren of fear. Shizuru jumped off the bed. Natsuki! Oh no…she would not be able to tell anything in this mansion…If she gets lost god knows what will happen…
A voice, matched her own worries. "And god did know what happen…"
At that moment in time, Shizuru needed, no, forced herself and fought the darkness to see. But more darkness was in her vision. A cold mist hit her back, automatically telling her that someone snuck into the window.
Shizuru started to shake, afraid of everything. "My princess…you do know…how important you are to me?"
A childish laugh echoed, causing Shizuru, to cry herself.
Natsuki…
--
The cold seeped around Natsuki, giving her into temporary paralysis. Darkness fell around her, and Natsuki let herself succumb into it itself..
And so she awoken.
The Mistake of Ice. The Maiden of Ice.

Nagi smiled at Christopher, the blonde boy with bright blue eyes. In his hands, a beautiful girl laid, with the most beautiful crimson eyes ever. "Ahh…Christopher. The Start of the Everlasting Dawn. Tate-kun…Reito-kun…I'm proud of you two for joining my little…'rebellion"
Tate and Reito, kneeling, nodded. They couldn't trust the group of hosts anyways, and what Nagi was doing was for the better. Or they thought it was…
Christopher, even younger than Nagi, grinned. "It was easy. She's blind, so Nagi, what are we going to do with her anyways?"
Nagi smiled at the boy shorter than him, turning his pale face towards him. He grinned, and his eyes danced around in a fiery passion. "Christopher…You do know that every organization that has any information about Project MISTAKE is most likely wrong? Sure, they have all the little itsy-bitsy DNA fragments, however…Did you know that there were 12 original Maidens? Right now, only three of those maidens have been recognized, but only because…well….they were the only ones who have the main blood line of the previous maidens. Ice, Fire, and Life."
Christopher raised his eyebrow. "So, pratically, out of the 12, only three lived…"
Nagi laughed. "Yes…however, it is possible that the remaining have succeeded in obtaining ¼ of the DNA Sequence of their ancestors. A recessive gene, an extremely recessive one the DNA awakening the maidens are."
Tate looked up. "Does that mean…they're could be more than 12, many more, that have little fragments of the DNA? So…I don't understand…"
Christopher grinned, and playfully jumped. "I get it! So…we are going to resurrect the Maidens! Which means…"
Reito grimaced. "…Which means we are going to … kill anyone with that little fragment of DNA…"
Tate gasped, and his eyes widened, glancing from the three males in the small cavern. "W..What! Nagi! I thought we weren't going to do any of this bullshit! What the fuck! This shit can't happen! I'm not going to kill anyone!!! Not even her!" he gestured at the chestnut-haired beauty.
Nagi laughed. "Relax, you smart ass…you won't have to kill…not one…not one single girl…of course, you do know why we captured this one girl right? This girl, Shizuru Fujino, is extremely, extremely oh so special... And most likely the most important one here..."
Tate lost his anger, and was quickly consumed in surprise, staring at the teenage girl, maybe about 1 year older than him. "Why?"
Reito didn't seem to get the idea either, however, we didn't inquire anything more about it.
Nagi grinned again, and shifted his eyes towards Christopher, changing the topic immensely. "Christopher, its about time she woke up too…isn't it?"
Christopher, moved his wavy blonde hair out of his eyes and thought for a moment.
"Ice? Yeah, no doubt about that…"
Nagi grinned, for the 100th time that day.
"Then we should also…let her in about what is to happen."
--
Shizuru twitched, mainly out of irritation of not being able to see.
Who were these people, why did they have her, what a Maiden or Mistake was, and why…why they called her 'special'. A part of her was a bit happy that she was called special instead of being checked out, but the rest suspected so much to not trust any of these people- after all, they did just kidnap her.
She stayed quiet, listening in on the rest of their conversation, until she accidently shifted her body weight.
"Ahh…so she awakes from her beauty sleep…"
Shizuru raised her head at the devious voice; it was childish…but…but very dangerous.
A laugh came from the otherside. "Nice one Christopher, that…was hilarious!!!"
Shizuru crossed her eyebrows, wishing that she was able to at least see.
Suddenly, a door opened, and finally, out of all the males, another female voice was heard. "She was awoken."
It was a dull voice, almost like it was a…a heartless doll.
Coming from the voice was a girl's voice, around the age that Christopher was.
She heard Christopher let out a growl, and wondered what was going on once again.
"Alyssa. What the hell do you want, butting into my business is annoying as hell, fucking bitch."
The heartless voice spoke up, "You shall not insult ojou-sama, otherwise I'll-"
The angry dull voice stopped midsentance, as the girl 'Alyssa' interrupted her.
"Sorry for that Miyu, but Christopher, this is my business as much as yours. The Everlasting Dawn is not one where it would give you all your desires. You should know that by now, you too Nagi."
Nagi laughed. "Alyssa-chan, this humors me. Of course, you don't know the meaning of Everlasting Dawn, nor the ones of the Maidens. Especially the rules they are set too."
Shizuru left herself alone in her head, trying to fix together what they were saying. The most she completely understood, was that they needed her to complete this.
"Tate, Reito, I suggest you hurry back, or the Pact of Idiots will wonder where you are."
"The Pact of Darkness? Nagi, you shouldn't underestimate them, after all, unlike you, they are hosts."
For once, Nagi didn't feel like talking back. Shizuru felt hands pull her up, and even started to feel a chain; which most likely numbed her while disabling her hands to move about.
"Hey…where…where and what are you going to do?"
Her voice quivered, mostly in fear. She felt being pulled up to walk, and her bare feet touched the cold floor. It was a rocky surface, yet extremely damp, like a wet cave. Shizuru walked in puddles, some frozen, some warm, and some…just relaxing, or refreshing.
"You'll see, Fujino-chan. You'll see…"

Natsuki never felt better. Better than the time she let her eyes feast on the beauty showered upon her from Shizuru. With a dull smile, Natsuki picked herself off the floor, and set off to the room. When she got back in, Shizuru wasn't there, which was a bit of disappointment. Oh well, she just thought, and went straight for her clothes. Changing, she looked out the window.
The sky was extremely dark, almost blue, either looking like it was the day after the end of the world, or a storm was about to come. Oh well, she thought again. She picked up the belt with her weapons, and smiled grimly and put her cape on.
Today was going to be…extra fun. Pulling out the two pistols, she loaded them each, put them back in, and started to run.
Natsuki jumped out the window, and landed onto the ground in the forest, and easily finding a path.
For her to be lost was pratically impossible, especially since…her feet made tracks of ice.
Natsuki awoke, and she felt the best than she could ever be.
--
Entering the quiet city gates, she immediately recognized the poor side of the city, the middle-class, the higher-class, and the rich officials, or the bosses and government officials. It truly was a giant city.
Natsuki saw a shadow in the alley way, and heard desperate cries.
Following them, a brown haired girl was being chased. Natsuki watched the scene unfold, to the shadow hitting her, then to it simply beating her, and to the point where it stripped, and ripped her clothes.
Till then, she was a mere observer, wondering what was to happen.
The next moment, she became a heartless killer.
Blood splattered all over the girl with ripped clothes, her eyes widened and full of tears, as she saw the man screaming in pain as the bullets of ice pierced him. He started to move, but howled in pain, the pain of being frozen. His internal organs froze, and shattered, killing him within seconds.
No, milliseconds. It didn't even take one second for him to fully feel the pain.
Natsuki smiled. It felt good.
Better than ever.
