Chapter 1: The Unfortunate End of Her

-First Person-

The alarm that sat on the nightstand next to my bed went off again at '6:30' on august 15, I had to get up now and get ready for school as I could hear my mother making me breakfast downstairs. It smelled like pancakes, uwah…I love pancakes. Using that as my motivation I got out of bed and slipped out of my pajamas and into my pink plaid (?) skirt and a white button up shirt that made up my school uniform including knee high white socks that I usually wore.

to be honest, I had only been in this school for a month so I had to repeat the grade but today was the summer festival the school decided to hold, I had made a few friends and fit in well. It took me awhile but I finally heard about an incident 2 years ago with a freshman, I wont discuss it though because id rather leave her story to rest without re opening wounds.

-Third person-

You ran down the stairs shortly after getting dressed, humming loudly to yourself as if no one else could hear you. Stepping into the dining room you plopped down onto a chair as your mom slid a plate of fresh pancakes in front of you. This was the same usual occurrence that happened everyday, nothing ever really changed or was ever going to change so you believed.

"[Y/N], make sure you're careful to and from school okay? You know they're doing construction nearby." Your mom cautioned you although you know she give the same warning every day. Hearing the word 'construction' today in particular, send a weird feeling through your body. [Y/N] shook it off however because you believed that you were over thinking things.

You said good-bye to your mom and hurried out the door, followed by your pet chinchilla 'Hiyoki' who went with you pretty much everywhere. The air outside felt nice and the breeze that blew back your long brown hair was warm but not unbearable. Today could be considered one of those 'good summer days' that never really came but once or twice.

Without much care you drifted through the streets unnoticed and unbothered. You admit that it's kinda lonely; to be completely honest, back in your old town, you had all the friends one could want, you were well known, you were well liked, here? You were unknown, you had to re make all your friends, people were wary around you. All you wanted were friends, your wish? To never be alone.

Being alone was scary, you couldn't breathe, you could never think, you got antsy. It was only with friends did you feel like your life meant something. Letting out a small barely audible sigh you arrived at the construction site that seemed to sit you on edge, hiyoki too seemed to be unable to bare being around the area. Deciding not to hang around you hurried forwards and finally approached the schools festival.

The school festival seemed harmless enough; there were kids about your age traveling back and forth throughout the stalls set up already. Laughter filled the air as you as well began to drift between stalls. You and hiyoki were starring longingly at a bunch of fish in a tank when you were bumped by someone. "e-eh?! I-im sorry!" came a shy panicked voice and you ended up apologizing to the shorter white haired female as well for not noticing.

"Mary! Come on, we don't have all day~" there was the voice of someone slightly annoying and the girl rushed off. "hehe, she has a cute name." hiyoki nodded in agreement. The two of you wandered off again into the crowd, spending the rest of the day playing games and probably eating most of the food available to you. You had a great time, even when you lost a shooting game to some girl with a temper, you were still happy.

The day soon fell to night however and the closing ceremony had started for day one of the festival. You were sort of disappointed, though you didn't have a reason to because you still got around to most of the stalls. "well hiyoki, lets start off on our way home shall we?" you placed the small grey bundle of fur on your head and started walking away from the school. You said good bye to those kids you knew at the festival and turned down and away, heading back towards your house.

It wasn't any less quiet on the way back than it was on the way to. You figured that by now your mom would probably be in bed, leaving the door unlocked for you to be able to get in. what? It wasn't a dangerous community that you lived in as far as you and your mom knew. So you believed that she would be okay of course, she was a tough mother. Strict on herself, but kind to others; you wished that father hadn't just up and left. He meant a lot to both of you.

You paused, hearing the sound of iron beams painted a redish orange being moved around. Didn't they know that construction was dangerous at night? You scoffed in irritation because of their foolishness, someone could get hurt! You sighed knowing you had to cross infront of the place anyway, mom was at home waiting wasn't she? You smiled to yourself as you crossed and began sidestepping debris from the construction.

Suddenly there was the sound of leather or something breaking above you. Foolishly you ignored the shouting to quickly get out of the way by the workers, you even looked up. Your blue eyes widened and you barely had time to scream as one of the flat iron beams you had seen only a few minutes before swung from the loosened platform, smacking your much weaker body with great force. You felt your consciousness drift away when you felt yourself land with an unpleasant sound against a building across the street. You didn't see this coming…you didn't see this end; but what was even worse? It's not over yet, you would soon find out when you would miraculously survive almost unharmed.

"This is the 9pm news broadcasting from the home of one misuki (last name) and her daughter (y/n) (l/n). we are unhappy to announce that earlier this evening this house was broken into and the one person home, misuki, was murdered by multiple gunshots to the abdomen.
