Chapter 1

Amber Eye Puppet

"What the... Oh no. Please no."

Silent pleas slipped through the child's lips as she cringed in the corner of the dark alleyway. The rain pounded against the child and the shriveled up corpses surrounding her. From time to time, she would sneak a peek of her surroundings in hopes that it was just an illusion, only to be proven wrong by the sight of corpses.

She tightened her grip on the bright red apple in her hand. "I only wanted something to eat..."

The girl buried her head in her arms as she allowed the fruit to slip out of her hand. The fruit continued to roll trough the muddy puddles until it stopped by lightly crashing into someone's shiny black shoe. A large hand reached down to grab it before the owner knelt down in front of the child.

"Little girl." He called softly. The child slowly raised her head out of her arms to see the apple being held out in front of her face. "I believe you dropped this."

Guilt and slight disgust was evident in her face, but she took the fruit anyway as she covered up her true emotions with a smile.

"I saw what you did." He stated. The girl's eyes widened in fear and buried her head in her arms again, hiding the tears running down her cheeks.

"I didn't mean to..." She croaked

"I can take it all away. Do you want that?"

7 Years Later

A soft sigh escaped from the twelve old's mouth as she ran her fingers through her choppy dark bangs, temporarily sweeping them out of her amber eyes. As her hand was about to drop to her side, she frozed and stared at the cross-shaped tattoo on the back on her hand.

Her neutral expression twisted into a frown before she swiftly covered her hands with a pair of black and red, fingerless gloves.

"Sorry master but... If you can't take this curse away. The only thing I can do about it is learn how to control it." The girl whispered to herself, allowing her short half pony tail hair tousle in the salty sea storm.

"Kid." The girl turned around to face a plump sailor with a crimson nose. "What is your name?"

"Me?" She asked. The sailor nodded and a warm smile spread across her face. "My name is Nozomi."
