Disclaimer Notice! I do not own the francise – Familiar of Zero or Zero no Tsukaima. What I do own though, was this crazy plot twist of the canon story that my twisted mind formulated plus the additional character I inserted to give color to this story.
THE WAY THINGS SHOULD BE
A Zero no Tsukaima Fan Fiction
Prologue
Special Me
I was walking this town when the rain started to pour. It was as if the rain itself was crying, probably feeling sympathy for a poor and hopeless girl like me. I shook my head trying to forget of the memories that started to flood my mind. Those horrific memories that forever would haunt me.
I started to run, hoping that by any chance I might be able to outrun all the pain I'm feeling inside. But, how far should I go to finally remove ALL of it?
The rain poured harder, and the breeze became colder. Is it because I'm all drained that I'm feeling kind of sick? Or is it because that I....that I'm.......
"Urgh! Forget it!!!!" I yelled into the silent night. I can't contain my emotion anymore. I wanted to....I wanted to....cry so badly.
I halted in my tracks and stared at the dark sky. Is my face drenched with the rain? Or with my own tears? I sniffed. "I don't want to think about it anymore"
"Ara....ara....look what we have here...." I heard a voice behind my back. Instantly, I drew out my wand and pointed it at the person who just spoke. And then I saw him, the hooded person standing in front of me. "Speak thy name! You coward!" I tried to warn him.
"Ara...ara....you tryin' to scare me with that?" I heard the person speak again. "W-wait! T-that voice...!" So that's why it felt so nostalgic! It's....it's.....her voice.
"Sheffield!" Right, because as soon as I called her name, I saw the ruins on her forehead began to glow.
"Right....it's good to see you too...." She said while smirking. "Sheffield! What do you want?!" I asked. "Fufufufu......" Damn her! She's trying to provoke me again with that pathetic excuse of a villain laugh!
"Ara.....ara....why are you here alone ohime-sama?" "O-ohime-sama?" I stuttered while asking her. Well, probably blushing in the process. "Why? Aren't you used on being called a princess?" then her face suddenly lights up as if remembering something important. "Sokka!*" then she started her pitiful laugh again. "Nobody's addressing you with that, ne? After....a while..."
I clenched my wand tighter. "Shut up! Stupid! You knew nothing! What nonsense are you blabbering about?!"
"Don't shut me up........Cause' you're nothing but a simple aristocrat...."
"Nani?!" My prideful self was flaring inside. Being someone like me, I can't just ignore her insults. Oh, how I wished that I just ignored all of it. "Shut it! I'm not a simple aristocrat! I'm a special! A special mage!" Now, what nonsense am I talking about?!
"Ara? Special?" then, I saw her evil smirk.
"Special? Then, why aren't you guarded by someone? Where is your familiar? If you're that special....then why are you alone this late at night? Aren't specials supposed to be heavily guarded?"
W-what?
Suddenly, those painful memories started to flood my mind again. "NO!" Unconsciously, I clenched my head trying to prevent those memories from playing inside my head again. "No...Sa-saito...."
The dream, the one dream I kept dreaming every night played like a movie before my eyes. Even with all the efforts I exerted on trying to forget it, it always.....always....comes back again. As if, wanting me to realized something? Realized? Realized what?
That I am alone?
That he'll leave me?
I suddenly felt the tears strolled down my cheeks again. No, no Louise, don't cry....An aristocrat shouldn't look pitiful. You should always be elegant in front of their eyes. B-but.....it's so painful, I can't contain it all again.
"Sheffield, you shouldn't!" I heard a familiar voice behind me. It feels so very nostalgic. Sheffield looked shocked and was speechless for a moment. All of a sudden, warm hands wrapped around me. And a warm presence, I felt.
"Don't worry...Louise.....They're not the persons you should be with. They wouldn't know how special you are...."
"Y-you...." I managed to say between my sobs.
"Everything will be alright, that I promise...."
Promise? I have enough of those promises! They would always....always...break it.
"Louise....come with me, and I shall treat you special...The way you should be treated...."
