'F/n...'
'F/n L/n...'
'Open your eyes darling.'

I did what I was asked to but seen nothing but darkness and a soft blue light that emitted from myself. It felt warm and comforting, I looked at myself to see I was bare-nothing to be seen on my body to cover up the marks that this world placed on me.

I turned to see an angel with horns, and a white ribbon covering most of its body. Did I die? Just the thought made me cry. 'Darling, your heart. It's broken and shattered...your a strong and a worthy soul, I will protect you on a path special to you. To seek out who you are inside.' "Who I am inside?" I repeated what the angel had said to me and I touched my chest, taking a moment to think about what was said as he continued.

'Yes. I called to you because the world is not how it should be, it's filled with distortion and ruin can no longer be avoided my child. Those who oppose this fate and desire change are the people who are referred to as tricksters. You are one of those tricksters, for the sake of this world's future as well as your own, you must uphold this promise of saving it. A contract shall be forged if you choose to accept this seemingly inevitable fate.'

Once that was said a small blue butterfly began to fly around me saying that all of this was an unjust game that I was being thrusted into so suddenly. But if the voice is reaching me of all people then, their would be some sort of chance to change this inevitable end. "What happens to my fate if this so called 'inevitable end' comes?" I asked cautiously as the small butterfly landed in my hands

'Then the lives of the innocent and guilty will diminish off into nothingness, leaving society in a wake of an empty world.' "That doesn't sound too bad to me at all. No one would be around to talk about you or abuse you. No one would have to laugh at your face every time they seen it in black and blue...so a silent world sounds, comforting." I smiled sadly for a few moments letting the small butterfly fly away. Moments began to pass and my smile fell letting tears fall down my cheeks "I guess I would have to put a rain check on this contract. In this current state, I truly wouldn't mind this silent world-no one would be able to speak and I would be alone...free to do as I please." 'I understand my child, but when the time comes you'll have your own answer soon.'

The angel had put two fingers on my forehead causing a sharp pain to rush through me and everything soon had faded to white. I began to force my heavy eyes open as I started hearing a beeping sound coming from my phone, signalling the alarm for school.

I put my arm over my face, groaning to attempt to ease the large headache I had-it made me wonder if it was from the dream I had or the events of yesterday evening. The more I thought on it, the more harsh my head had pounded. So I forced myself to get up and head upstairs-not forgetting my (f/c) hoodie to cover up yesterday's wounds and headed across the street to my neighbors house.

I rang the doorbell once and the door had opened being greeted by an elderly woman. "Good morning Y/n darling, did you sleep well last night?" She smiled lightly and had moved aside to let me in as I covered my face with my hood. "Yes I did. Thank you for asking." I chided as I walked into the house being met with a pleasant smell that made my stomach growl. I'm surprised that she's still so nice to me after all of these years.

It makes me bitter inside, she's so sweet and caring that she feeds me instead of my step-mother-yet I still haven't told her about the abuse and the meaning behind each scar that's upon my body. I fear if I open my mouth, that'll be the moment when I truly regret saying a thing. "Y/n sweetheart, you haven't said a thing in the past few moments. Is everything ok?" "Hm? Oh everything is fine, just thinking about an upcoming school project." The same lie every time, I've lied so much to her that it makes me think that I don't deserve the kindness she hands to me.

As I sat down at the table in the kitchen, I looked down at my feet with my hands in my lap still thinking on if I should step in front of a train or not; just the thought alone made me laugh and that terrifies me. "Would you like some juice on the go?" "Oh yes please." I laced my voice with sincerity trying not to make it sound like I was ready to die at any given moment. "Here you go dear, breakfast on the go today. Any more stalling and you'll miss your train, we don't want that." The woman smiled gently at me and I plastered on a small smile. "Thank you." I took the food and walked out the door heading to the train station.

Once I arrived, I stood on the platform awaiting for my train to be called. I tapped my foot to the rhythm that was playing in my headphones, but as I was going to change the song I found an odd app that I never installed or have seen in the first place. Instead of messing around with it I chose to delete it, I wouldn't know what kind of virus would take over my phone.

"Aoyama-Ichome.." As the location was called I went to the designated train, crowded as always.

The amount of people that were always in here was just brutal, you'd be extremely lucky if you got a seat and weren't force to be squished against a window. Areas like these made me feel uncomfortable, since I always needed my space. This never fitted my standards since she always refused to take me to school and my neighbor could no longer drive. I groaned as I shuffled around attempting to at least get comfortable but of course it was impossible.

"Aoyama-Ichome, Aoyama-Ichome." I sighed in relief and started to press myself through all these people to make it to the gate. "Ugh...I need a bike or something." I rubbed the back of my neck and walked the rest of the way to school. After what happened to Kamoshida earlier in the year, it's been nothing but tense around here but I attempted to not mind it. Ideally, Kamoshida looked like he was nice person but he only chased the skirts of schoolgirls-horny bastard.

It makes me shiver because I was just about to join the volleyball team but after Shiho attempted suicide and all the rumors I've heard about this man it makes my stomach turn. I would've signed myself up to be nothing more than a degraded sex toy, more or less a slut. "What a terrible thought...but thank god nothing like that happened." I rubbed my temples as I sat down at my desk to immediately put my head down and fell asleep.

"A-AAAAAAAAAAH!!! Ngh..." My fingers latched onto an edge as my body throbbed in pain. "Be careful!" I panted a little as I looked around and seen a small, blue butterfly.

The ledge that I was hanging off began to break and I started falling again until someone caught my hand. "I've got you, now don't let go of my hand." The person groaned and started pulling me up, letting me fall on top of this person. I started crying and hugged the person tightly, judging by voice it was a male "Shh, don't cry. You'll be ok, you're safe now." The male wiped my tears and I lifted up his mask then-

"Y/n!!" I jolted up as my name was called and stood up as still as a stone. "34 times the square root of 12 divided by 2!" I yelled out and the teacher groans "Correct. But quit sleeping in my damn class!" The teacher threw a piece of chalk at my forehead and it hit. "....Oof...that hurt..." I rubbed my forehead as some students in my class started laughing a bit. 'A blue butterfly...hm.' Hours soon pass by during the school day as the final bell had rung. "Yo, Y/n! You wanna go out to get some ramen?" Ryuji ran up to me and my dull eyes glanced at him as I didn't say a word. 'Go ask someone else, I'm not worth your time.'

I started walking out the school building heading home.
