Entry 15: You need to let the past go

A girl, with tan skin and maroon eyes, looked at the doctor who apporached her and her father.

"We couldn't do anything." he said.

"P-please..." Her father tried to hold back his tears. Sayo meanwhile cried like a river.

"MOM!" she yelled, looking at the white sheet which covered her mother's dead corpse.

"NO!"

Sayo yelled as she woke up. She was in her bed, soaked in her own sweat.

"It was, just a dream." she breathed deeply. It was a nightmare. She dreamed it day by day, night by night. Sayo stood up and fetched herself a glass of water in the kitchen.

She was once a normal girl with a normal life, not really popular, but everyone was ok with her. She had friends and a loving family.

That was until the day her mother got killed in a car accident. Her father to fell into depression, blaming himself because he had asked her pick up something for him. He ended up working at later hours and if he was home he'd avoid Sayo and mop within his study. Sayo was depressed too, but seeing the state her father was in, she decided stay strong for both of them. She was somewhat succsesful, though she lost her friends, since she refused to talk with them about what happened.

Sayo felt a shadow over her. She gave a bitter smile. It was the same shadow which apporached her that day.

She was walking home and ended up meeting Kyubey, whom she took with her. He was really cute and she didn't think anything bad about him.

However, as she arrived at home she found her father trying to using some drugs. That was when Kyubey offered her the chance to save him. Sayo remembered well the wish she made.

'I wish to stop my father from committing suicide.'

Once the wish was granted, her father just dropped down and cried and she cried too.

Sayo sighed and looked at her SG, now in the form of a silver breclet which had a green diamond. Since then, she worked hard and battled as a Puella Magi. Life became somewhat normal again, since her father snapped out of his depression.

Though, the question which bothered Sayo was: how long will she take to fall into depression?

'Hey, Sayo, would you come out?'

Sayo heared a voice. It was Sherrie, whom she befriended. Sayo quickly got dressed up and got out of her house. Sherrie was waiting for her.

"What are you doing here in the middle of the night?" asked Sayo.

"I couldn't sleep." said Sherrie.

"So you deceided to come to my house?" asked Sayo, confused.

"Don't look at me like that, you couldn't sleep either." said Sherrie.

"I don't want to talk about it." said Sayo firmly. She told Sherrie what happened to her and Sherrie told her what was her wish. The feeling of being abanoded connected them.

"Anyways, you need to let the past go, like me. It won't bring your mother back." said Sherrie.

"I hope you're right." Sayo sighed. "But don't worry, I can take care for myself."

"Yeah right." Sherrie replied sarcastically. Sayo made a fake smile.

"Daijoubu." she said. Sherrie narrowed her eyes. She didn't believe Sayo'll be fine.

Suddenly, Sayo's breclet and Sherrie's ring started to shine.

"Two Witches?" asked Sayo.

"Who knows, maybe they're just Familiars." replied Sherrie. "We'll part up and seek out for them."

Sayo nodded and the two girls departed. Sherrie transformed and, after some searching, found her barrier first. She entered it, ending up in some twisted street like place. There were hearts and toys for dogs all over the place.

She then noticed the Familiars. It were humans, yet they were bigger then her, dressed in colorfull clothes.

Those Familiars were known as Bartels. The canine witch's minions, whose duty is interior design. They have no will and are simply mannequins who revolve in place. A canine witch, unloved by anyone, was unable to create minions with free will.

Sherrie gritted her teeth. She entered a Familiar Barrier. She hoped Sayo had more luck, since they couldn't waste their magic on Familiars. Not now.

The Bartels weren't moving around, they simply stood there. Sherrie smirked and rushed towards them, taking out her dual swords.

The fight won't last long.

Sayo, who managed to find the Witch's Barrier, was running through the labyrint which had a similar design to the one in which Sherrie was. She ignored all Familiars, since they ignored her.

Finnaly, she entered the last lair.

The Witch she saw looked like a white dog which head was covered in a pink, bush like hair and ribbons.

Sayo held her breath, dropping her daggers.

The Witch was Uhrmann, the canine witch, with a craving nature. She has taken on the form of a dog in the vain hope of being loved by all. Humans who enter her barrier can't help but embrace her in concern. One hoping to defeat her can do so by feigning love.

Sayo couldn't.

"I hope Sayo left me something to fight against." muttered Sherrie as she hurried through the Witch's Barrier.

She managed to enter the last lair and frowned upon what she saw. Sayo was weaponless and she hugged the Witch.

Sherrie felt too the charm the Witch was sending, but she had a too rough life which taught her that if she shows concern for someone, she'll be dissapointed.

"Sayo! Stop it! Snap out of it!" Sherrie yelled. Sayo didn't listen to her, but the Witch growled. She then rushed over to Sherrie.

"Stupid dog!" Sherrie jumped outta harms way and threw the swords at Uhrmann. The Witch yelled in pain.

Sayo turned at Sherrie, summoning her daggers. She was still under the Witch's influence.

"How dare you to hurt her?!" she growled.

"Snap out of it!" Sherrie again yelled as she avoided one of Sayo's attacks. She summoned her dual swords and managed to dodge Sayo's next attack.

Sherrie knew she was trapped. Sayo was under the influence of the Witch and her SG was darkening, just as Sherries. If she dosen't hurry up and kill the Witch, both will be out of magic and then they're done.

"X Dynasty!" Sayo coated her blades with energy, lengthening them. Sherrie smirked slily and escaped it. The attack hit Uhrmann and sliced her in an X shape, killing her.

Suddenly, Sayo fell unconsicious. Her green-golden SG was almost black.

Sherrie took the Grief Seed and went to Sayo. She frowned and used the Grief Seed on Sayo's SG, despite the fact that her's was dark too.

Sayo woke up.

"S-sherrie, what are you doing?" she asked.

"Helping you." said Sherrie bitterly as she watched the transfer. Sayo took her SG before all darkness was cleaned. Sherrie snapped at her. "What are you doing?"

"Use the rest of the Grief Seed to clear your SG." said Sayo. "Mine SG is my problem."

Sherrie smiled darkly.

"Maybe, but honestly, you're the first person who stuck with me for this long. I guess I should care about you too." she said.

Sayo nodded.

"So, partners?" she extended her hand. Sherrie took it.

"Partners."
