Chapter One:

                    Her Arrival

A girl about nine years old was running inside a dark forest. Wounds all over her body, blood dripping from the deep cuts that she had.

"I need to... escape... I need to..."

'Yan ang pa ulit ulit niyang iniisip habang tumatakbo. Clutching her deepest wound located on her left side. Her ash grey hair swaying in different directions as she runs. She can't feel her legs already and her vision is starting to get blurry.

"No... a little more... stay with me Mr. Consciousness..."

She literally pleaded herself, she's desperate. She can't die, at least not now. She has a promise to keep and a mission to continue. When her consciousness was about to left her, a bright light was seen in the edge of the forest. The poor girl ran faster. At last, she reach the light and she saw a humongous white gate. She smiled at the sight, because finally, she had escape.

She took a step, a step away from the dark forest that never seems to end, yet she made a history. The first person ever escaped the dark forest. She scoffed at that thought. She do want to be acknowledge, but not at that way.

"Sino ka?!"

Isang sigaw ang narinig niya ng makalapit siya sa puting tarangkahan.

"Ito ba ang Central Government?"

Nanghihina niya tanong.

"Yes it is. I repeat, who are you and what are you doing here?"

The girl just smiled then put her both hands up causing the Knight's eyes to bulge. Fresh blood covered the innocent hand of hers. His eyes wandered on her body and found wounds all over her, some are deep and some just look like scratches.

"I-I finally made i-it."

Was the last thing she said before she fainted. The Knight panicked as the girl fainted. He hesitantly open the gate and pick up the girl carefully. Tumakbo siya papunta sa loob ng kastilyo at agad dinala ang bata sa miliit na pagamutan.

"Inform the King about the kid's presence."

He said to his comrade while settling the child in the bed. Healers immediately attend to her after seing the wounds she had. Not long after, the King arrive wearing his usual monotone face.

"Where did she came from?"

Tanong niya sa kawal habang tinitignan ang batang kasalukuyang ginagamot. Nag bigay galang ang kawal bago sinagot ang kanyang hari.

"I think she came from the dark forest."

"Dark forest?! Anong namang ginagawa niya doon?! It's not healthy for a child to enter that forest!"

He stated, literally loosing his cool. Alam niya kung ano ang nasa loob ng gubat na 'yon. He's a King, and Kings care for his people. The moment the girl set foot on his land, she immediately became one of his people. And he doesn't care where she came from. All he just know is that, this child needs care.

"Hmmm..."

The two men averted their attention at the waking child. The moment she opened her eyes they instantly froze. Her red-brown eyes stared at them. The Knight didn't get the chance to look at her eyes before she fainted. It was a very beautiful view, yet it mirrors pain, agony, hatred, and more. Both of them was confused on the emotions her eyes held, but decided to be quiet.

"W-what is your name, little girl?" The King asked,

"A-akuma." She answers,

Akuma... that's right, her name means demon/devil. Now, what kind of parent would name their child like that?
