From Falling to Flying



Prologue

"Mama..please calm down.."

Little Seiya Yamuko was standing in the doorway leading to the kitchen and staring at his mother. Seiya is ten years old, and he is holding his favorite teddy bear in his arms. It is a summer night but it felt like winter came early. The room was cold, so cold that Seiya cold see his and his mother's breath.

"Mama..why are you so afraid of me.?"

His mother, Akino Yamuko, is sitting on the floor grasping her head while rocking back and forth. A cigarette is in her mouth but it is unlit. His mother had a mental illness where she would think Seiya is an angel then accuse him of being a demon out to destroy the world.

Seiya's father left his mother years ago after a huge fight. He left Seiya with Akino and married another women. His father couldn't stand living with her because of her mental illness. It was a stupid mistake for him to do so.

"Stay away from me.." Seiya heard his mother whisper.

"Mama..it's me.." the little boy pleaded as he placed his bare feet on the stone cold floor of the kitchen. "I'm your son, Seiya. Your one and only. Don't you love me?"

His mother didn't move as Seiya approached her. But when he got close and started to reach out for her, she grabbed his hand and pulled him towards her.

Seiya's eyes widened as he was pulled into his mother's embrace. He looked up to her face as she stared down at him with crazed blood red eyes.

"Your not my son..you are a demon in the body of my son. Give him back to me!"

Seiya's eyes were bulging when his mother opened the cupboard and lifted a long kitchen knife out of it.

"Mama.." whimpered Seiya as tears flooded his eyes.

"I could sense that you were going to be a demon," said his mother. "My tarot cards told me so. I read my future while pregnant with you and the cards told me that something terrible would happen to me. They were right, I bared a demon!"

Seiya struggled helplessly against his mother but she held him tightly while a twisted grin formed on her beautiful features; Seiya always believed that his mother was an angel because she was so delicate and graceful.

"The cards told me I had to fight away the evil and that is what I am going to do!"

"Mama! NO!"

Seiya screamed loudly as his mother lifted up the knife high into the air. Then Seiya heard a gun shot. His eyes opened when he felt his mother release him, and the rush of wind as he fell backwards.

His eyes were huge as he saw blood splashing from the wound on his mother's hand. The knife in her hand fell to the ground with a clang.

"Mrs. Yamuko, you are under arrest for child abuse and attempted murder," said a police officer. It turns out that a neighbor had seen Seiya's mother hitting him earlier when he wanted a hug. The neighbor called the police and they arrived just in time.

"No!" screamed Akino. "You don't understand!" She looked over at Seiya's direction and pointed a long slender finger at him. "He is a demon! A DEMON! He must be destroyed!"

"Mama.Mama.." cried Seiya. A women police officer wrapped a blanket around Seiya and carried him out of the house while two male officers tackled Akino Yamuko and strapped her into a white jacket.

"It's alright little one," said the women officer. "Your mother is ill and needs some time in a hospital. We'll find someone to take care of you until your mother gets better."

Seiya's home was flooding with spectators, reports, police cars, and an ambulance. Seiya clutched the women's uniform shirt in fear from the noises and the gockers.

"Let me go!" Seiya heard his mother scream. "The world will be turned into nothing but evil if you let him live! He must die!"

"Mama.." called Seiya as he struggled in the officer's arms in attempt to run to his mother's side. "Mama!"

Akino turned her eyes towards Seiya's direction. The hatred in them disappeared and was replaced with a soft, longing love.

"My baby," she whispered. "My beautiful angel."

They both reached their hands out to each other but were being lead away. The police officer was carrying Seiya to her car while two medics were pushing Akino, who was on a stretcher, into the ambulance.

"Goodbye.my baby." she said as the doors closed to the ambulance.

"No! Mama! MAMA!" screamed Seiya.

"Shh.Shhh.its okay honey," said the officer. "She is going to be alright."

Seiya buried his face against the women's bosom and cried while she stroked his hair and opened the door to her patrol car.

She placed him into the back seat and shut the door. Seiya watched as the women opened the driver door and climbed inside.

Seiya looked out the back window as the car started and pulled out of the driveway of his home. It was sad to see his home disappear right before his eyes. All of this happened so very fast that it was too much for Seiya.

Seiya slid down from his seat and closed his eyes. The sound of heavy rain began to hit against the patrol car. Seiya opened his eyes and looked to see that the policewomen had turned on the window wipers.

"We will stop by a store and get you some food," said the women. "You must be hungry. For now, get some rest."

Seiya nodded and turned his head to rest it against the car seat. The light of the full moon lit up the city he was in. His head suddenly perked up when something caught his eye. On one building he can see a person that appeared to have pure white wings; the moonlight reflected of the person.

His eyes were huge as the person with the white wings passed by and replaced it with one that was wearing a white trench coat and had black wings.

Seiya blinked a few times and both of them disappeared.

"Angels?" he said to himself.

"Little one, hush now," said the officer. "Go to sleep."

"Sorry, police women-san," he apologized. He closed his eyes and curled up while clutching the blanket and his teddy bear close.

"Maybe..I'll wake up..and this would just be some horrible nightmare.."

Sadly, for poor Seiya Yamuko, this was reality.
