The Queen Of Shadows (Persona 5 Fanfic)

Prologue

I held my older brothers hand as we walked. I was ten years old. My brother twelve. We got home and our father and mother were at work. Zetsu sighed in relief and took off his hood. He bruised and battered face being exposed. "Let's get you some food sis" he said going to the kitchen. I set my stuff down and followed him. "Hey big bro. Do you think we will ever get a good dad?" I asked. "Catherine... Your dads a terrible man. He's daranged. My dad was terrible but at least he didn't come back to beat us" Zetsu said. "So the answers obvious. He won't change. No matter what" Zetsu answered. "But Zetsu" I said. "Just face reality Catherine" he said making me a samwitch. He gave it to me and I ate it smiling. The door busted open and in walked out dad drunk out of his mind. Our mom following.

Our dad smacked Zetsu. "Your as worthless as ever!" He yelled. "Zetsu did nothing wrong!" I yelled stepping in my dads way. "You want to be beat as well!" He yelled going to smack me but my mother stopped it by getting in the way. "Stop beating up my kids" she said. "Fine I'll just beat you all up!" He yelled punching her. She feel to the floor as he grabbed me by my throat. He threw me against a wall as he kicked Zetsu. He then got on top of my mom and beat her. Beat her beyond death. Zetsu and me had tried to stop him but he wouldn't stop. He stopped once he had already killed our mom. Me and zetsu crying. "Neither of you will ever mention this to the police" my dad said. He looked at his blood coveres fist. My moms screams for him to stop not leaving my head. He grabbed Zetsu. "Actually. Instead of even letting this idiot here live I should kill him. "Kill him and I tell the police what I saw!" I yelled. "Fine how about this. Either of you speaks. The other dies a grosomeing death in front of you!" My dad said laughing. Me and Zetsu looked at each other with a nod.

My mothers case had become a cold case. No evidence to convince the judges my father did it. Me and Zetsu lying just to keep each other alive. I hated it. It was worse now. My dads abuse on us had tripled. One wrong thing done and it was a punch to the gut. When news got out around my school everybody avoided me and left me behind. I had no friends. I had no one to take my pain Away. Every where I went someone would hit me. If not my father then bullies would. I never got a break. Every part of me was covered in bruises and cuts. I couldn't tell anyone the truth that most of it was from my dad. I always blamed the bullies but the teachers didn't even care. They told me to suck it up. Ignore my pleas for help. So I had given up.

That was until I stumbled into a place when twelve. It was so strange and yet okay. I held my Cat in my hands. "M-morgana. Im scared" I said to my cat. Morgana meowed. A weird monster thing flew to me. It didn't attack me. It calmly took my hand and lead me away. Everywhere inside this place was different. It was strange and distorted. I was only twelve and it was very weird. Morgana meowed again. "Welcome to the distorted desires of man" the thing said. "Your like the shadows of people hearts?" I asked. "Yes" it replied. "Wow! Why are you leading me around?" I asked. "Because you belong here" it said. "No I dont. I belong with my brother" I replied shaking my head. "If that is the path you choose" it replied. "But don't deny that unmistakable power inside you girl" it said. "Stay in here with the shadows as you call them. Stay here and learn what us shadows see in you" it continued. "No more abuse. Power to fight that abuse" it said again. I looked around. "I can't. But I can visit everyday for a few hours!" I said. "That'll work" it said.

I eventually learned to control many things of that world by the time I was Fourteen. I had managed to turn Morgana into something amazing. But that's when I couldnt return. Peoples distorted desires were controlled and never got to bad. But I had to leave. Thats because my brother Zetsu had fell into a coma. He got beat up so bad. So instead of going there I went to Zetsu.

And that's where my story begins. Sixteen years old at Shujin Academey. I never thought I could find anything until my life changed.
