Hidden

Prolog-2: Garrett and Yvaine

The wind howled as the bloody scene unfolded in a little house at the far side of town.

Inside two middle school teens with colorless hair hung out under the stairs as their parents sat in the living room watching the news. On the screen an old reported warned residents to watch out for a man with a jagged z-shaped scar above his left eye and inky black hair. He'd murder four people in the last two weeks and countless more. The children's mother a woman with light purple hair watched as the screen showed the pictures of the resent dead."Oh my." was all she could say.

A crash was heard from the rooms above the stairs, "The kids!" the woman said startled as she began running up the stairs thinking her children were up there sleeping in their beds. Her husband a man with pale blue hair chased after her worry spreed across his face. The young twins looked above as their parents ran up the stairs.

A scream pirced the silent air as the man's body began rolling down the stairs. His blood dripping through the wooden staircase raining down on the teens underneath. As the kids looked up at the thick red liquid falling between the cracks into their hair, the face of their mother looked down at them through the cracks her blood drenching the boy and girl's hair. The boys hair had become completely garnet from the blood as had the girl's but a single strand of colorless hair fell framing her frail face.

At the sight of her children drenched in her blood the woman let one lone tear fall from her eye onto the single colorless strand of her daughter's hair turning it the palest blue; the color of her mother's tears. A scream pierced the air as the ground shook and the roof of the upper part of the house collapsed, crushing a man with inky black hair and a z-shaped scar in the room above. When the shacking stopped the young girl fainted, all through the night her brother held her in his arms not knowing what else to do.
