Hiyori saw the light of the village when she sprinted out of the forest. Finally. She thought.
Adrenalin pumped through her as she went through scenarios through her head. What if I don't get there on time? What if mother dies?
Hiyori mentally slapped herself.
Think straight for once you idiot. Think positive thoughts. Rainbows. Ponies. Unicorns. Really sharp horns that can stab you. Blood. Death. War. Calamity.
She just kept running, with her thoughts in her mind. Hiyori saw the sign of her dad's medical center. She quickly rushed in and pushed the door out of her way. Her mother's sickly body greeted her.
"Hiyori, thank goodness," her dad said. "Give me the antidote please. We don't have that much time left."
She quickly put the jar in her dad's hand and sat down so that she could catch her breath. Her father than went into the other room where her mother was brittlely laid on the bed. Hiyori went in to the room and sat next to her father as he put he antidote and gave it to her mother.
Her mother was a beautiful lady and had fine brown hair with dark pink eyes to go along with the ensemble, but as she lay there, Hiyori thought that it was the ugliest sight that she had ever seen. Her mother had raspy hair and her cheeks were hollowed in. Lack of nutrition and the infection made her like a skeleton. Hiyori wanted to look away, but she couldn't.
"Hang in there mom," the brown haired girl murmured. "Don't die yet."
Hiyori grabbed her mother's hand. It was cold. When she leaned her ear against her mom's chest, it was silent.
"Mom?" Hiyori said, as she shook her mom. "Mom, wake up." She still laid there frozen.
Hiyori turned to face her father, but he refused to meet Hiyori's pink eyes. "Dad, why isn't she waking up. Dad? Please answer me?!"
A hand grasped her soldier, Hiyori turned around and saw her grandmother. Her grandmother had tears sliding down her face.
Hiyori lost it. She slapped her grandmother hand, something that she would never do, but now she couldn't feel anything and didn't care at all. She pushed open the front door of the clinic and ran.
Her feet kept running and tears blocked her vision as she ran. Hiyori didn't care.
She ran into the forest and stopped when she tripped over and fell on a lone branch on the ground. Hiyori's back propped up against the tree and in the clearing she could see a lake. It shimmered as the moonlight reflected of it giving it a peaceful aura.
The water's edge was cool to Hiyori's touch. Suddenly a voice cut through her mind. A sharp shoot of pain hit the small of her back.
It's your father's fault that your mother died. Take revenge. It's all his fault. Kill him. Go back and do it.
The pain in her back was getting stronger.
Your mother would be alive now if your father had gotten the antidote to her correctly. Blame him. Your only chance is now.
Hiyori yelled in pain and slapped her hands to her head.
"Stop!" Hiyori yelled. "Just stop, it's now my father's fault. It's no ones fault. Just be quiet."
The pain was taking a toll on her and black spots started to appear in her vision. Hiyori started to lose consciousness, but as she started to black out, she saw a boy, with what looked like a katana in his hand.
The black spots got bigger and bigger and Hiyori fell.
As she fell down, she got a glimpse at the boy. In that moment, Hiyori saw them. the striking blue eyes.
