The King's Queen

Chapter 1

It was a warm day with a light breeze causing it to be a bit chilly. You stare up to the partly cloudy sky as you walked through the thick forest, noises could be heard from a distance as the creatures of the forest minding their own business but it was somehow quiet. Your e/c pools spotted the babbling brook you were in this peaceful place for. You knelt down at the bank of the stream careful not to crease or stain your kimono. You placed two buckets in the water and lifted them out when they were full. In this forest you felt at peace that's why you took on the duty to fetch water. Even though carrying these buckets was difficult you didn't mind, if it meant having a few minutes of peace it's worth it

You lifted the buckets and began to follow the trail from which you came from. You spotted the house you grew to loath after some time after moving in. You sighed heavily "let's hope I am not late... again." You sweat dropped at your comment. "MITSUKI COME HERE AND CLEAN THIS MESS!" Just hearing that old cracked high pitched voice made an irk mark appear, nonetheless you went to the source of the voice even though you felt massive amounts of dread each step you took. "Madam Sakura, where should I put the-" "ARE YOU STUPID THAT YOU DONT KNOW WHERE TO PUT THEM, TO THE KITCHEN YOU DUMB GIRL" she shouted at you, you kept quiet and left without another word knowing full well that if you continued your punishment would be severe like all the other times. You went to the kitchen to find your older twin sister Yuna and Yuki preparing the dinner. "Y/n could you please go fetch some more firewood?" Yuki asked you with a smile "Sure thing Yu" you answered sweetly as you began to walk out the kitchen to get them the wood. This was your life, a slave to a woman who was in fact was your aunt.

It all happened that day, the day you saw it, the day you saw it rip your mother and father apart and the day you and your sister's lives changed. You dont know how you managed to escape from that-that... CURSE. In fact you didn't escape it, it happened so fast that it almost became a blur to you. You remember your mother hiding you and your sisters behind her as your father tried fighting these things it felt like they were multiplying. Yuna was unconscious due to one of the curses had attacked her. Mitsuki put her on her back as the wound Yuna sustained bleed heavily, mother told Mitsuki to run with us to the neighbour's house. As your sisters had just left the house, a big curse with two eye sockets and a gaping mouth where its stomach should be came and blocked your only way out. Your instincts immediately told you to run back to where you parents were. Your heart dropped to your stomach as you saw your mother and father in the hands of that curse. Your mother screamed out your name before being ripped in half and your father exploding into pieces revealing a snake like curse. You looked into the two curses' eyes only to find one emotion... sympathy? You still don't understand why they showed that emotion, but it didn't matter because they couldn't tell you because they are dead. All you remember was letting out a blood curling scream and weird black energy emitting from your body like shock waves. But before that energy hit the curses, both the curses said "S S Sor-ry Que-." And that's all you heard before collapsing on the floor. After that you woke up in your neighbour's home they said Yuki noticed you weren't there anymore so her and Mr Hiroshima went only to find all the curses in the house were destroyed and you were laying in a pool of human blood mixed with blue curse blood. Your memory was clear as day on what happened but you didn't want to make your sisters' fear you, so you lied and said you didn't remember anything. You sighed heavily as those memories flashed through your mind and continued to collect wood for Yuki and Yuna. Till this day you have never told them what actually happened.

(Timeskip)

You, your sisters and your cousins were in the bath, talking, bathing and occasionally laughing. Your cousins were funny girls and always helped where they could. "Ugh am I the only one who will never have a chest, why won't you grow ugh" Kohina let out a frustrated yell, you all laughed at her misfortune. Both Kohina and Kisara are married yes they both came of age and the minute they turned eighteen they looked for men to marry so they could leave this hell hole. The only reason for them being here was to be present for some ceremony since Kisara had her first child. It was a baby girl and she looks exactly like her mother, with her fair light skin, hazel green doe eyes and her straight black hair. You could tell she was going to be a heart throb like her mother. Kohina has long black straight hair that reached her thighs, same fair light skin but took her mother's blue eyes and her body structure was perfect even though she hates how she has a small chest. You giggle just thinking about how annoyed Kohina was about the whole chest thing. You looked over to your siblings, first Mitsuki. She's the oldest who is seventeen, she has long straight h/c hair that she always kept tied up, wide dark blue eyes and s/c. After her came the twins who are sixteen. Both of them have fair light skin and their hair colour is reddish black. The only thing different about them was that Yuki's eyes were e/c and had short hair while Yuna's eyes are dark blue and kept her hair long and plated. Then there was you who was fifteen "Kohi! What kind of question is that!?" You were brought back from your thoughts by Kisara's outburst "Just answer the question, did it hurt when you gave birth to your baby." She replied with a bored look "Kohina please think about it for a moment" you said to Kohina who made a thinking face " There really isnt anything to think about." Yuna spoke her words riddled with annoyance "It didn't hurt?" Kohina said questioning her own answer. Her answer started a whole argument that you didn't want to be in so you continued to clean yourself. "Can one of you clean my wounds?" Your request stopped everyone from talking, you noticed that everyone had pity written on their faces. Yuna and Kohina both took a wash rag and began to clean the fresh wounds on your back inflected upon you the day prior.
