Third Person's P.O.V

(Mizuki)

Mizuki stared out into the horizon as she closed her eyes slowly. It felt just like yesterday that she was being taken away, only to be thrown out once more into the cold winter. It was then she learned how to survive and she discovered the difficulties. It was also when she found someone like her, lost in the world and abandoned by god. A ghost of a smile made its way to her face as she looked back on the memories.

12 years ago

Darkness surrounded her, the only light she ever saw was when the door creaked open, allowing only a glimpse of what lied beyond her cage. She had forgotten what the sun had looked like, what fresh air felt like if she were to ever run around and enjoy her life. She had no memories of her outside life, only awakening with what was around her and what she had. She only knew the roughness of the stone she slept on, the polluted air filled with dust, and the darkness in her heart. Had she ever longed to escape? Yes. Has she ever tried? She wished. Every time they were to do something to her, whether inject her with chemicals, surgery, etc. they had always knocked her out.

Mizuki wanted, no, needed to see the sights. Her life was already dark enough, could it get any worse...? It could. As time passed, turning into months which felt like years, she lost count of the days that passed. Experiments increased and her hope to escape slipped away. What had she done to deserve it? Why was it her? She had never seen their faces, but on a day she was knocked unconscious like usual, she heard it. She heard their voices, which shook her core in fright, and the reason they needed her. She was to be an experiment to become a demon for a evil mage named Zeref.

"N.....No...." She whispered, her voice barely heard and played like a broken record player. Maybe due to the immense pain she felt when she was unconscious, or the amount she screamed during the experiments her voice sounded broken. It wasn't like she wasn't broken yet. She had broke a long time ago. Overall, she didn't want to be a demon. She didn't want to hurt anyone. She didn't want to be evil. And she certainly did not want to be a tool.

"00 won't be of use anymore. It is a failure! Don't you see?" A woman's voice shouted outside her door. Mizuki listened curiously, it wasn't the first time they argued and she could hear it but this time, this time it was about her. The other arguments were as well, but only on what else to experiment. "00 can still be of some use!" A rough male voice growled. "How?! 00 no longer cries, no longer screams, and 00 always calm! Nothing we have done now is working like how it use to in the past!" She screamed. Silence stood there for a few moments before a sigh was heard. "Your right. Tomorrow we'll inject an amount worth a century and experiment one last time. Got it? After that we can just toss it out into the back door. Everyone will think it's just a child begging." The man sighed. "We can't do that! A centu-!" She started but soon silenced herself. "I know. If 00 does survive, which is most unlikely to, then we can take it back again! Otherwise 00 would die from the overdose and no trace of the injection, or even her existence will be known! We will be safe!" The man snapped.

Silence once again hung in the air before the sound of heels slowly faded away. They must've come to an agreement. Mizuki shook in fear as she backed away from the door and stared at it. She didn't want to die! Why? Why her?! Silent tears fell as she stared at her hands before wrapping them around her for comfort. Tomorrow she wasn't going to die, and she was going to make sure of it.

The door creaked open as Mizuki immediately laid on the ground and pretended to be asleep. "00 is sleeping. This makes it so much easier." She heard a voice grumble as she felt herself being dragged. This is how they were treating her when she was asleep?! Throughout the time she was there, she was always awake and when she fell asleep the sound of the door would always wake her. She inhaled sharply as she felt a sudden pain on her back, and something warm and wet had soaked through her ragged dress.

"00 is injured again." An unknown male voice said emotionless as the two dropped her legs. "For the 5,639th time." She heard a voice mutter. If she could, she would have had her eyes as large as saucers by now but she couldn't. She was suppose to be unconscious after all. She felt two hands roughly grab her arms and legs as they tossed her onto a cold metal table. "Begin." With that she felt like thousands of needles were piercing her soul. She wanted to open her eyes and cry, but she couldn't. She wanted to scream, but she knew better. She endured it before feeling a cool blade across her heart.

The ground was cold, and snow danced among the body of Mizuki as she stared at the sky. She smiled as a strained laugh escaped her lips. She was free at last. She stood with trouble as she leaned onto the wall. Just because of a simple injury and pain, she wouldn't let it stop her from her freedom that she had just achieved. One by one, she started walking as her hand drifted away from the wall, landing by her side. The will to live and survive thrived through her, as determination shined in her eyes.

7 years later

Mizuki hugged her black rabbit tighter as she stared at the person lying in front of her. She was now 9 years old and had learned to live on her own. She watched as the person lost consciousness before lifting her up, over her shoulders, and carried her into a forest nearby. Gently, she placed her down into a cave as she dug around in a small bag she carried. She pulled out a few clothing and lied it to the side for her, before pulling out a curved knife. She gently placed it on her clothes as she tended to the burn on her left arm.

A few days have passed as she watched over the female, and tended to her. She had marked down the days she stayed asleep, Although time soon sped up to when the girl woke up and Mizuki hid near the cave's entrance. She watched as she scanned her surroundings before whispering a thank you. Mizukis heart fluttered in happiness as she turned and bounded off in joy.

To The Start

She quietly chuckled as she shook her head and stroked the black bunny. It was time to open a new beginning.

Alice: As you can see, the last two chapters were made by me with a few additional help from Chico. I mean, I write like this and it's different from Chicos.
