They ran in a hurry. The caste was burning and they needed to make their escape. Chase, the youngest of the four, tripped and injured his leg. The seven year old cried out holding his ankle and was quickly picked up by the eldest, Damien. The twelve year old preteen called out to his other two siblings, Seth and Pixy, to ensure that the nine year old twins stayed close behind. Seth held tightly onto Pixy’s hand, making sure that she didn’t fall behind. They couldn’t afford to fall back.
The castle was burning and their parents, the King and Queen of Famula, were killed. Their father was the first to be slain. The proud Chaos Dragon fought with all his might to protect his wife and children. However, he was poison before the battle. An enemy disguised as a maid snuck into the royal chambers and switched the Queen’s lipstick with a poisoned replica. From the moment the Dragon King kissed his beloved Vampiric Queen’s lips he slowly weakened. Once he was killed their mother told them to run. She stayed behind to offer them more time, but sadly she was too severely weakened by the poison and meet her end at the hands of her koishii’s murderer. The four of them came running out of the burning castle coughing and gasping for fresh air. Damien looked to his younger siblings catching his breath.
“Okay…” He panted. “I’m going to open a portal to Mortalis… We should be safer amongst the Ningen and Youkai of that world.”
“No Damien, don’t! Your youki isn’t strong enough for something like that! Plus you’re too tired from running to open a portal!” Pixy yelled trying to reason with her big brother.
“Pixy I have no choice! I know I’m not strong enough but I have to try. It won’t hold out for long and I think I can only do it once so we have to hurry.”
“Come on, do it before that guy shows up!” Seth said taking Chase into his arms to give Damien some space.
Damien closed his eyes and put everything he had into focusing his youki. His aura turned into a dark purple shade and his eyes glowed red when he opened them. He held his hands out forward and yelled. “Gate of Chronos, open a pathway between our worlds! Famula! Mortalis! Open the Gate!” A circular portal of about 6’ in diameter opened before them and Damien fell to his knees, breathing hard and feeling drained. Pixy ran to her brother’s side and helped him to his feet.
“We gotta go now!” Seth called out and as the four children approached to portal a cold baritone voice spoke to them.
“Not so fast children.” A tall man‘s shadow loomed over them standing in their way. The man smirked. “Now what do we have here? Four little scared orphans trying to run away.” The man laughed. Pixy glared at the man. She remembered how her mother’s screams filled the throne room. The blood curdling scream that echoed through the corridors as they ran for their lives.
“It’s him!” Pixy yelled out in anger. He was the one responsible for the deaths of her beloved parents and she wanted to make him pay. Her anger grew exponentially and she ran at the man, fists clenched.
“Pixy, no!” Her brothers cried out. Seth tried to stop her but he couldn’t move an inch. It was like his body was frozen stiff. “What the hell?!” Seth shouted in disbelief.
“It’s him! He’s the one doing this!” Damien shouted.
“How is he doing this?!” Chase yelled trying to struggle but to no avail. Pixy ran toward the man only to be back handed and sent sliding on the dirt.
“I think I’ll kill you before I kill your brother’s. After all… Ladies first.” The man laughed again and Pixy looked at him with so much hate. “I’ll make your death a slow and painful one… just like your pathetic mother.” That was the final straw for her. She got up from the ground and ran at him again. However, her attempts to strike him failed once again as he gripped her by the throat, squeezing tightly, but not enough to kill her just yet. Slowly he lifted her off the ground by the neck. He laughed, enjoying her painful choking gasps.
She was getting sick and tired of his disgusting laughter. With her claws she slashed at his face causing him to let go to cover his left eye. She smiled at the sight of him in pain and smiled even more when she noticed that she had gouged his left eye. Now the man was enraged and he was not going to play games anymore. He extended his claws and began slashing away at her, tearing her flesh maliciously. She screamed out in pain and tears fell. Her brothers looked in horror at the assault done to their sister. Her long silvery white hair had turned copper from her blood and she laid flat on the ground motionless but still breathing.
Out of sheer adrenalin, Seth yelled and broke free from the spell and tackled the man. He ran to his sister’s side and quickly picked her up. He saw that the portal was closing and there wouldn’t be enough time to get all of his siblings through in time. He ran toward the portal, carrying his twin sister in his arms. However, in just about 3’ from the portal he felt as though his legs froze to the ground. He felt the paralyzing spell work its’ way up his legs, so thinking he did the only thing he could do. He tossed Pixy out through the portal. Pixy’s eyes widened as she was hurled into the air. “Noooooo!!!” She screamed, not wanting to leave them behind with that monster.
“Noooo!” She sprang up from her bed in a cold sweat, heart was pounding and her breathing matched her hearts’ quick pace. She lay back down, staring up to the ceiling. A veil of sorrow washed over her face, making her golden yellow eyes water. She rose from the bed and walked over to her vanity mirror. She stared into her own eyes while brushing her long silvery white hair. It had been ten years since that fateful night and she could still remember everything so vividly. The scars on her body healed leaving not one trace of damage, however, her heart still remained battered. Her entire family was wiped out, while she escaped.
Then more memories came to her. She remembered the smell of the grass soaked with rain. She laid there on the moist ground covered in her own blood, her hair was scattered about her, her eyes lost shine and were open only half way, and she was dying. It was as though for those moments this whole new world opened up to her. She heard the soft howl of the wind and felt the rain wash over her, cleaning the blood that clung to her small frame. The rain was so warm… It was the only thing giving her shivering body warmth. The ever loving moon shone full over her, being as a beacon of light in the mass darkness. She grew tired and her poor eyes couldn’t remain open for much longer. Then everything went dark.
