Ace Attorney AU: Secrets of Perfection

Prologue

I ran as fast as I could, throwing a fast glance behind me. I was running away from the Courtroomteers' Headquarters, my former home.

As  I ran, I looked everywhere, even at the top or at the bottom. My running seemed to be endless as I only saw one type of tree, an oak tree.

I tried running faster but my legs started to give up. Perfection please, as long as you distance yourself from the headquarters, you're going to be okay. I thought.

My vision started to get a little blurry, only then I realised that my cheeks were getting wet. It was my tears. I wiped them off with the sleeve of my blouse, my pace slowing a bit.

I put my hand on a nearby tree and fell backwards. I was tired and I panted while staring up towards the sky. The sky was being covered by the long branches and the green leaves of each oak tree so the woods were a bit darker.

I reached for the water bottle in my backpack, chugging it down. I still have two more bottles and I didn't care if I chug this one down.

I didn't fully chug down the cold water so I had something to splash myself with. I poured the water on my head,leaving my platinum hair dripping of the cold liquid. My clothes also got wet after pouring the water but I made no choice to change into something warm.

I leaned back on the tree, reading my mother's journal again. Once I heard rustling from behind me, I immediately made a run for it.

I just can't let them catch me, now that I'm a bit far from the headquarters. My mother already created a path and I must follow that. I'm sure it will lead me to who I am.

Back at The Courtroomteers' Headquarters...

"Huh? Perfection is...gone?" Spellweaver almost dropped the sandwich she was eating. That day, she made up her mind to go and visit Perfection to ask some spells that she could work on.

But she wasn't here. Wind blew on the powder white curtain that hung on her room window. Spellweaver surveyed the room, some of her stuff were gone.

"Perfection?" She asked the wind that blew her hair. "Where are you?"

At that time, Logic was walking on the hallway, discussing some matters with Truth. They both noticed that the door leading to Perfection's room was open wide.

"Perfection wouldn't leave that door open like that right?" Truth turned to Logic, who already has a serious and thinking emotion.

"She wouldn't... Unless...!!" They sprinted in front of her bedroom, only to find Spellweaver, staring out of the window.

"Spellweaver! Where is she?" Truth questioned.

Spellweaver turned around, her eyes brimming with tears. "Sh-she's gone... She ran away."
