Soul Retriever

1. The Start

"In a mirror is where we find a reflection of our appearance, but in a heart is where we find a appearance of our soul."

Mirla often wears a grayish-blue dress and a white, laced coat with a small white ribbon carefully tied on it. She wears it today, and so does she tomorrow.
The town of brighttown wasn't really a "bright" town. Not anymore, at least, after that accident happened.
After that, the noisy and friendly town... Changed. People used to be lively. Cars and the beeping noise often annoyed Mirla, but she was actually starting to miss the loud, annoying, old town. Thing's changing, and Mirla knows it.
The accident... Or the people likes to call it "The Curse."

Back 7 years ago, Mirla were 9, Michael were 10.
Michael, Mirla's children hood friend, was rolling on the grass and trying to find a four clover. Mirla was picking up grass to make fake rings.
"Gosh, Mirla," Michael rolled his glass-like green eyes and peered at Mirla while scratching his messy dark brown hair, "You're still play that game?" He stole over Mirla's grass and fake eating it,"Mmmm...delicious..."
"Hey!" Mirla grabbed over her grass angrily, "I can do whatever I want!"
"Ok,ok," Replied Michael, he stood up and pat off the grass on his pants, "I'm just gonna get a ice cream with double the amount of chocolate, sprinkles, cookies, and Oreos."
"Did you just say cookies?" Mirla's gray eyes sparked with joy. If there is anything that is to define "pure", it has to be Mirla's two eyes.
"Did I? I forget." Michael sticked out his tongue, and ran away as fast as possible after doing his chipmunk-monkey dance. Ah yes, the  classic chipmunk-monkey dance.
"Hey! You don't get to walk away if you don't tell me where the cookies are!" Mirla threw her handful of grass on the ground, and ran behind him, but with a smile.
Even at a young age, Mirla had to admit that Michael can be truly irritating at sometimes. However, he was the first person to ever approach her naturally shy character and persist to make friends with her, too. For that, Mirla and Michael became inseparable. Their bond was like a soon-to-bloom daisy bud in early spring, unaware of the fact of what their friendship could turn to be.
