Chapter 1: The Runaway

I ran. I ran as fast as my legs could carry me considered how much pain my legs had been in. They had been whipped and cut and the soles of my feet badly bruised. Then I thought, why was fate like this. Fate, it was a cruel thing. It took me away from my dad and sister, my home and my life.

I resented the fact that I was someone's play thing. Being used as an experiment, just a breathing toy. My legs started burning furiously and blood started dripping and falling harder, leaving red stains on the ground.

All I know was I was running in a forest trying to escape all my fears and nightmares that followed and haunted me. I swore I was being followed, but as I got deeper into the forest they disappeared. My body collided with all kinds of things. I was wearing rags.

Just a boring red dress that was ripped and she said it made me look "elegant." It was torn as thorns hit my arms and legs, and scratches covered my body. The clothes were in tatters and my feet had no shoes. My body was mangled and I was banged up everywhere. I kept running till my body gave out and my feet refused to move. I saw something in the distance, a big gray mansion.

Then my vision went hazy and everything was a blur. I couldn't really see much, but two moving figures coming towards me then I blacked out. Later I woke up in a white room and was terrified. There were too many bad memories of me being in one and I huddled in the blanket I was in.

It was quiet. Being in a room by myself I craved for noise. Something to tell me I wasn't the only one. I sat there for awhile till the door was slowly pushed open. It made me feel like I was in those scary horror movies.

Then the two figures from before came in again and I tried to swat them away, but do to my injuries on my arms that really wasn't possible.

"Imouto," a familiar voice said that I recognized as my big sister Satsuki. And standing next to her was our dad Soichiro. There faces looked so happy and relieved and my face was to. I was finally back home. I, Ryuko Kiryuin am safe from the fears, nightmares and people that haunt me.
