"What am I gonna do now?" I mumbled as I looked out the window of my house. My dad was still at work, working overtime, so it was just me in the house. "Without help, I'm all on my own." I tilted my head down a little as my black bangs covered my eyes. "Rize..." I whispered.

I didn't want to eat human flesh. With Rize, I felt like it was okay to eat human flesh. But without her, I feel like it's wrong because I'm taking someone's else life.

I went into the bathroom and looked at my reflection in the mirror. "Please, tell me what to do, Rize. I'm scared and I'm lost. Tell me... What should I do?" I asked. When I looked at my reflection, I saw Rize. But only it wasn't really her. It was just an image.

I looked down as tears dripped into the sink. My head snapped up when I heard a crash. A burglar? I quickly ran into my room and locked the door. But it was quickly knocked to the ground. I took steps back until my back was pressed against the window.

Two people who I've never seen before came to my room. "Who the hell are you people? What are you doing here?" I demanded. "Kaori Rikuto. Come with us." The man with short white hair said.

"Like hell! Get out of my house!" I ordered. "I had a feeling she was gonna be a troubled one." The boy with purple hair said. I gasped and quickly dodged out of the way when his kagune attacked me. "Are you sure Aogiri wants someone like her, Tatara?" The boy with his kagune out said.

"We have our orders, Ayato." The man known as Tatara said. "Ayato?" I repeated. Why does that name sound familiar?

I gasped when Tatara was quickly in front of me. He grabbed my neck and lifted me in the air. "Don't try and fight us." He said from behind his mask. "H... Help me... Rize..." I pleaded. He threw me into my shelf, making everything collapse on top of me.

I weakly laid on my side as I watched them walk towards me.

"Let's hurry up and take her with us."

"Yeah, I got it."

My vision was slowly fading as they stood over me. "Ri... ze..." I whispered before closing my eyes. Before I knew it, I blacked out.
