Conflict between the heart and mind

Prologue

Its a mystery as to how such a beautiful day can turn 𝔲𝔤𝔩𝔶 so quickly
.

It was a lovely day in the small town of kokahame, the giggling and laughter of children were filling the narrow streets, and there wasn't a single dark cloud in the sky. The streets were buzzing with happy parents and travelling merchants. Every stand and shop were open and everyone seemed to be filled with energy. The sun was warm and it just seemed like another happy day. However, the citizens and visitors had no idea, that this would be their last living day; in the town of Kokahame.

Every story has a beginning and an end, where you place those two titles, depends on your perspective. In this story, on this tragic day; is where I would mark the beginning of Akanai's story.

They left as quickly as they came, with two goals in mind. To firstly, punish the town. If you are unaware of the laws, then you must be curious as to what horrible thing must've happend; for the whole town to be 𝔢𝔵𝔢𝔠𝔲𝔱𝔢𝔡. Their second goal was to capture a young girl, that the people of Kokahame tried to protect; despite their knowledge of the consequences of harboring one of her type.

Akanai's mother rushed into the young girl's room with a panicked expression. Outside you could hear the screams of the towns people, and the shrieking and cries of children. The sudden intrusion of her mother startled Akanai further into the corner of where she was hiding.

It was 2:48 Am, and Akanai awoke to the screams of her people, and the bright glow of a house fire across the street. Akanai got up frightened when she heard banging across her house, to which the young girl instinctively fled to the corner for comfort. Akanai knew nothing about the situation, and fear flooded her five year old mind.

That is when her mother ran into the room and instantly locked eyes with her daughter. "Sweetheart I don't have time to explain but we have to run!" The mother said as she rushed over and picked the girl up. She then grabbed ahold of the crib Akanai was once at rest in, and put it infront of the bedroom door. A trap door was now visible, inplace of where the crib was. As the distressed mother rushed to open the trap door, a loud bang was heard from their livingroom. "We know you have the girl, hand her over and turn yourself in!" A man yelled, and from the magnetude of his voice, the mother knew he was close.

The young girl cried out and clung to her mother. "Mommy, what's happening?! I'm scared!" she screamed. The woman opened the trap door and tried to quiet Akanai down."It will be okay my sweet girl, we will follow this tunnel out and.." Her voice trailed off and the look of pure terror spreaf across her face. "how did they.." She trailed off once more, as she looked at the caved in tunnel.

The intruders footsteps where now audinle as they all ran towards the bedroom door. "They must be in here! There is something the door!" Akanai's mother burst into tears as she realized  there is no more she can do to prevent the inevitable. She decided to sit in the corner Akanai previously cowarded in. "Listen to my words and listen good sweetheart." The crying mother began as she began to rock and hold her daughter. "Your future will be hard, but always be kind and don't you ever give up. You hear me? You will fo great things, change this cursed world sweet girl. I know you will.." The sorrow filled mother fumbled out between her cries. The intruders were banging harder against the door and they were almost in.

"Im sorry baby, but I dont want you to see this. Just remember I love you, and I will always be here in your heart." Akanai cried harder and held onto her mom as she listened to these words. Akanai knew this day would eventually come, but her young age and innocent mind ignored the warnings.

"I love you too mommy." The girl cried out. She looked into her mother's eyes one last time, and in that in that moment the door broke open. "I found you." The man said. That was the last thing Akanai heard, before her mom knocked her unconscious and she fell asleep for the last time in her mothers arms.
