Sorry for not updating! Hurricane Irene knocked out my power for the past few days. LIPA just fixed it! I'm also sorry for this being short, but my yards a mess and guess who's cleaning it. You guessed it, ME! *sigh* sometimes being twelve is so torturing. Oh well, sorry for ranting on here. Now, the show must go on! ~Hitsugaya X Karin Lover!

There was darkness surrounding me. I could see the outlines of trees, but just barely. I could also tell I was on some sort of path. There were stars in the sky, so I could tell it was night time, but there was no moon that I could see.

I decided to walk down the path to see if there was anyone who could help me figure out where I was, when I realized that I was injured all over. My body just would not respond. A branch behind me snapped, and I turned my head just enough to see behind me, ignoring the pain. Sitting there was a black crow.

"Ah, you have finally come, mistress." It said. Wait a second, since when did animals talk?

It was at that moment that the crow radiated a small purple glow. There was a flash of light, and suddenly there was a girl about 14 with long, midnight colored hair standing in front of me. Ebony wings spread out behind her, and black feathers flew around in a flurry.

I took a step back, in shock, but then I noticed the feathers were circling around me. Soon they formed a cocoon of sorts. Slowly, my wounds, which were bound to have left scars, closed up. There were no scars.

My mistress, do not be afraid. Your memories will return in time, but for now you must not remember. My name is -.

What?

My name is -.

I couldn't understand her.

Slowly, the feathers that were left hanging in the air started to merge together. Unexpectedly, yet another flash of purple light temporarily blinded me. When I got my eyesight back, a sword was in front of me. The hilt was purple, but the blade itself was a dark onyx color. It was beautiful.

Take the sword. The girl said.

Without questioning her, I grabbed it. It had perfect balance and seemed to fit me just right. When I looked up to say thanks, I realized that everything was fading. The girl seemed to notice too.

Go! I will be fine, but you must leave, now! I heard urgency in her voice, so I turned and ran into the ever growing darkness…
