Chapter one:

It all started with that curse long ago. our ancestors craved great fortune and power, but as usual, there was a price for every thing.

We live in an isolated town as one community of at least ten families. True there are those who come and go, and those who praise the peaceful atmosphere of the town, but no one realizes the true agony we go through.

The power we crave, the fortune we obtained were misused by our ancestors, and that resulted in a curse that we struggled to break to no avail. In the end, we though it would be better to put up with this curse hoping that it would be broken one day…

But were we doing the right thing?

Three people are usually born from time to time with an immeasurable power, but they are not free to use it the way they want. It would take us sometime to really know who was born with it for it was difficult to tell at childhood.

We were simply made into the slaves of this world. Unable to live our life the way we want to; unable to fulfill our own desires, unable to even ask for our freedom from the heavy burden that was placed on our shoulders and were distained to carry through out our entire lives.

I could say that those three carry half of the burden leaving the rest of the families in constant fear as to whether the chosen ones would be able to lift the curse or not. However that was not all. A single person carries the whole other half…The Eye.

Those born with special abilities are useless without her. yes…it is usually a she that carries the burden of being an Eye for females in out family were known to last longer than males before they either die or turn insane.

Death or insanity is the distained end of every female cursed to carry the duties of being an Eye. She is the one to direct those three to where they are needed because she is the only one who can see those in need through her visions.

Whatever the person in need feels, whatever he goes through, she feels as well whether be it pain, terror, fear…that's why one vision nearly drains out all her energy…and that's why she's the weakest.

My mom was one before she turned insane and died. I still remember the day they asked her to carry on the duties of being one. Unlike those three chosen ones, the Eye is never born. Her powers are transferred through certain rituals before she dies to another woman, which I would only describe as inhumane. My father tried to object, but the elders said that she was the closest, and it would only make the rituals easier.

I still remember her agony, her pain. I still remember her shaken form once she sees a vision. In the end, they thought it would be better if they took her away from my father…and me for fear that she might die before they could give her power to another one.

I was eighteen by the time she died, and I couldn't even say goodbye to her. Those rituals drained the last bit of whatever sanity and power she had left.

I swore to not let this matter go just like that. I swore to destroy every last one of them before I let them do that to someone else. And so I ran away from that cursed town into the city. Swearing to come back to wreck vengeance on each and every one of them…

But I realized then that I was one…

I was one of those born with a special ability…

Kurosaki Ichigo

----------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------

I still remember him from back then. He was 12 years old at that time, and I was only six. The family's tradition dictates that we marry into one of the ten families occupying our small town so as to keep our secret within us. We were betrothed in spring through an ancient ritual. I couldn't understand what was really happening, neither did he, but we enjoyed it and took the matter as a game.

He was a bright kid with a bright smile. Though I rarely saw him, I grew attached to him. I was hoping whenever I felt lonely that he would come to me. He never let me down, not even once.

It sounds funny that I'm talking about a kid like that, but he was the only friendly figure in my life. My family ruled the remaining families and so I was looked at with detest, but he never did.

The family gave me the ring binding the two of us together when I turned sixteen but by that time, he was no where to be found. I don't even remember how he looked like. All I can remember is his bright orange hair and his amber eyes.

I don't know why I want to see him again so bad. I guess it is the romantic little girl within me that really wants this wish to be fulfilled.

But in the end, I would never get what I wish for because simply I don't have the sweet luxury of wishing and dreaming any more

My mind is not mine any more. It's theirs

I was chosen to carry the duties of being an Eye and I don't deny that I feel so afraid.

Will I ever get to keep my life and sanity?

I wonder…
