Things are gonna get a bit mixed up in this chapter cause it came out after I started writing this, lol.
Daughter of White
P.O.V: Haku
"I'm sorry that I'm alive…"
That sentence seems to leave my lips a lot…I live in a village where everyone has beautiful green hair, but I'm the only one with hair of white. I'm ridiculed and despised by everyone because I'm different…
Every day, I go deep into the forest, to a big tree that stands alone in a clearing. Each day I get down on my knees and pray to God to send me a friend.
One day, I got my wish.
I saw a beautiful green-haired girl unconscious under the tree. I quickly tended to her wounds and tried to make her comfortable until she awoke. I knew this girl. She was Hatsune Miku, the most beautiful and most popular girl in the entire village.
After some time, she finally woke up. She looked up at me and smiled; something out of the norm to me. "Were you the one who saved me?" She asked in the sweetest/kindest voice I've ever heard. I blushed out of embarrassment and nodded nervously. "Thank you so much?" Miku said hugging me, which was when she really noticed my white hair.
I gulped from fear. I know that she was going to make fun of me….Just like everyone else. "Wow, you have such pretty hair~" She said to my surprise. "R-Really?" I asked in complete disbelief. "Yup," She said, running her fingers through my hair, "Soft too…"
"B-But, it's so different from everyone else's…" I said sadly. "So?" Miku asked smiling softly, "That just means you're special." My eyes widened. No one has ever called me special before. This girl who was so beautiful looked at me with her kind, shining eyes was the real special one.
I was so overwhelmed with happiness that I began crying and clung to her as she held me gently.
Over the next few weeks, Miku and I hung out a lot. People from the village thought that she was crazy, but she didn't care what they thought. She was truly a great friend.
Soon, we left the village and began living in a city. Not really out greatest idea to go without a plan…It was days before we even got jobs. We got jobs serving a wealthy merchant lady, living in a beautiful mansion.
Even though it was hard work, we got through it because Miku and I were together. But one day…Everything changed. It was something that one would think to be a happy occasion, but it set off a chain reaction that fills my heart with sorrow to this very day…
A prince from a different land came to visit the mansion. He was clad in blue, even his hair and eyes were a deep blue that women fawned over. While at the mansion, he ran into Miku. I walked onto the scene and saw them look into each other's eyes and I also saw the immediate recognition in they're eyes. It was love at first sight.
After that, Miku spent a lot of time with the blue prince, but I didn't mind. I was happy for my friend. I was even happier for her when she came and told me that the prince had asked her for her hand in marriage. "I'm so happy for you Miku!" I said, ecstatic for her. Miku giggled from happiness and said, "And Haku, I want you to be my Maid of Honor." I couldn't yes fast enough.
But…The problem with this was that the blur prince rejected the marriage proposal of an infamous princess from the neighboring kingdom. They referred to her as
The Daughter of Evil
The princess was furious and made the order….The order to kill every green haired woman in my country.
I heard these rumors, but I didn't believe them until I saw the soldiers in black and yellow armor march into the city. They began slaughtering every single woman that had even a strand of green hair. The city was an ocean of blood.
Though the soldiers didn't bother me because of my white hair, I was terrified. I had to find Miku. I had to get her out of this nightmare before it was too late!
I search the city for her. I was about to loss all hope before I saw her run into the forest, with a cloaked figure following her. I ran after them, crying out Miku's name. I had to save her! I had to!
I reached a clearing, and saw the oak tree where I met my beloved friend. But the other thing I saw caught my attention more…I saw that I was too late. "No…No, no, no, NO!" I cried, clinging to Miku's lifeless, bloody body. Her once shining beautiful eyes have now dimmed and her skin felt cold. Why couldn't I have died instead of her!
I don't know how long I cried, but when I finally stopped, the sun was already up. I decided to give my friend the proper burial she deserved, under the large oak tree where we first met.
Weeks later, I heard that there was a revolution and the evil princess was dead. I was kind of happy about that.
By this time, I had begun living in a chapel by the ocean in the neighboring country. I needed to get away from my own country for obvious reasons. Everyday I go to the beach and look out into the ocean. Then one day, I found a small, blonde haired girl in a cloak lying unconscious in the sand.
I picked her up and quickly brought her to the chapel. She seemed to be very weak, like she hadn't eaten for days. I tended to her and fed her when she woke up till she got her strength back.
"What's your name?" I asked. "I'm Rin…" She said, a bit soft spoken, like she wasn't used to speaking with others. "Well Rin, I'm Haku," I said smiling, "What were you doing outside?" "I don't want to talk about it!" Rin said quickly
"Okay, okay," I said, then I smiled, "Well, why don't you stay here? There are plenty of rooms." She just nodded, seeming a bit put off by my smile.
She and I lived in the chapel for months together, she usually seemed happy, but there were times when she locked herself into her room for hours on end. One day, while she was helping me cook dinner, or at least trying to, she just broke down crying. "What's wrong Rin?" I asked worriedly, trying to help her up. But she smacked my hand away and ran down the hall.
I quickly ran after her, wanting to help. I immediately stopped when I heard crying coming from a confessional. I peeked inside and saw Rin kneeling down, sobbing.
"I can't take anymore!" She cried, "The guilt is just too much! I'm sorry….I'm so sorry! I wish I could have died in your place! It was all my fault! I was the one who ordered the death of all those people! I'm the one who deserves to die!"
I couldn't believe it. Rin, the little girl's whose life I saved, was the one who ordered the death of all the green haired women of my home? She is the reason that Miku, my greatest friend, is dead!
She is the Daughter of Evil!
Later that night, as I was washing the dishes, I looked out the window and saw Rin standing on the shore line, not moving at all. This was my chance! I took a knife and walked outside.
I slowly and silently walked up behind her. My heart was pounding with adrenaline. I raised the knife into the air with the intent to kill this girl before me. As I was about to swing down…But something stopped me.
I might have been hallucinating, but I could have sworn I saw a boy who had a striking resemblance to Rin. I blinked and he was gone. I looked back at Rin and saw that tears were still flowing from her eyes.
She seemed so fragile…and alone. I began remember how I felt when I was alone, it was horrible. I dropped the knife into the sand and hugged the girl from behind. Rin looked at me confused and I just smiled and said, "Its okay Rin." Her eyes widened a bit and she began crying again as she clung to me while I held her gently in my arms.
Days later, she finally began doing things on her own. She made some brioche as a snack and it was pretty good. She says that it used to be her favorite, but now it always tastes different. I smiled at her and mussed up her hair teasingly
I'm sorry that I couldn't take your revenge, Miku.
But this girl is not who she used to be.
She's different.
What ever happened in the revolution,
The Daughter of Evil did, in a way, die.
