Chapter 12: Memories of the past are what haunt me

*Lilita’s P.o.V.*

*Flashback/Dream*



“Mommy! Daddy!” Three year old me screams in horror. Staring in the mirror, I try to avert my eyes but they stay glued in their spot.

“What is it, Lilita?!” My father bursts into the room, their eyes wide with panic.

“My eyes. They burn!” I screech, doubling over in pain and clawing at my eyes.

“Let me see them.” My mother commands, prying my fingers away from my eyes.

I let her remove my hands, letting my eyes be seen. Just looking around made my eyes burn, but my vision was sharper.


“Mommy, what’s going on?” I ask, completely scared.

 

“The seal, it’s been broken.”

“Ryuu, why do all the other kids stare at me? Why do they make fun of my eyes? What’s wrong with my eyes?” Five year old me tugs on Ryuu’s sleeve as we walk back from the academy.

“They stare at you because you are different. They make fun off your eyes because they don’t like different.” Ryuu stops and kneels down in front of me, placing his hands on my shoulders, looking me dead in the eye. “Lili, there is nothing wrong with your eyes.”

I look up at him, my bottom lip trembling slightly. “Really?”

“Yes, your eyes are what make you special and unique. You should feel gifted to have such a power. Don’t let anyone tell you any different.” Ryuu smiles at me.

“Thank you, brother.” I smile, jumping into my brother’s arms for a hug.

“Daddy, Mommy, look!” Seven year old me runs into the room, the leaf headband clutched in my hand. “Look what I got!”

“Oh, look! You graduated! We’re so proud of you, Lita!” My mother gushes as she pulls me into a hug.

“Now I can be a awesome ninja like brother!” I squeal happily.

“Yes, you can! I bet your going to be better than Ryuu!” My father laughs as he walks over to me and pats my head. “Want me to tie that for you?”

“Yes, please!” I smile excitedly as I hand my father the headband and lift my long hair up, allowing him to tie it around my neck.
