I ran through the yard with my brother, laughing.
I hope this never changes. I hope I can stay here with mom and nii-san forever.
I collided into something. Or someone. I rubbed my head and looked up.
It was a man, and I immediately got on my knees.
"I'm sorry, sir! It was an accident!"
"Pesky kid. Go away."
"Y-yes! Ok!"
I ran back toward nii-san, glancing back at the man.
He was chasing me.
I yelped and ran into nii-san's arms.
I was only six at the time. Nii-san was fourteen.
"(Y/n)!" nii-san glared up at the man, "Why are you chasing my sister?!"
The man glanced at my brother, then made a hand sign. A weird circle appeared.
"(Y/N)! RUN!" nii-san yelled, pushing me away.
"Wait!" I screeched, then a heard an ear piercing shriek that I'd never forget.
I looked at my older brother, who was in flames.
"KENTARO!" I screamed.
I watched in horror as he crumbled to ashes.
Then I kept running. I ran faster than ever, tears in my eyes.
"MOM! MOM!"
She ran outside, searching for me.
"(Y/n)?! What's wrong?" she smiled warmly at me, until she burst into flames, just like nii-san.
I've never forgotten that smile.
I watched, terrified. Then I waited for my own death.
Then I froze.
(Y/n)!
Nii-san?
Fight him! You can!
I whirled toward him and clapped, making a blue circle appear in front of me. It shot a jet of water at the guy, making him run away.
I turned toward my house, which was burning.
I watched it until it was just a pile of ash.
We lived out in the country, so I doubt anyone saw anything.
I stood up on weak knees and walked down the pathway, leaving.
Leaving my home.
I went to a town, where it was crowded with people. I took out what little jewel I had.
"3000 jewel..." I muttered, "Alright. Good enough."
I saw a plaza, where people were making performances.
Maybe I could make money like that!
I ran over to a spot, then clapped. The water wasn't that hard to control, so I was able to make a breathtaking sight.
When it was over, I got so much jewel from the huge crowd of people watching that I could barely keep it in my pockets.
"Woah! 12000 jewel?!" I exclaimed. I looked around for a hotel or something, then ran off.
I stood on my tiptoes, trying to see above the counter.
A man looked at me and smiled.
"Yes, young lady?"
"I'd like to get a room."
"Aren't you a little too young to be here by yourself?"
I looked down.
"My family was just killed."
His look saddened.
"I'm sorry, sweetie. You know what? I own this place. You can have a room for as long as you'd like, free of charge," his expression turned serious, "But once you're a teenager, you'll have to start paying, ok?"
I nodded gratefully.
"Thank you so much!"
He nodded and handed me a key.
"There you go. I don't serve food, so you'll have to buy it on your own."
"Alright!" I walked up the stairs to the room on the top and opened the door.
I took a deep breath and plopped down on the bed. Then I sobbed silently into the pillow.
"M-mom... Kentaro..." my sadness turned to rage, "I swear, I'll avenge your deaths."
