The first thing I remember is waking... All alone... It was so dark and cold. But, there was the moon, so bright. I felt my fears disappear as I gazed at the full moon.

Then I saw a pond just a few steps away. I was thirsty, so I went towards the pond. As I knelt down, I saw a little girl. Her face had red marks, which shone in the moonlight. It was so scary, I moved away. That was when I saw my right hand- it was so red. Then I realised what it was.

.

.

It was blood.

I went towards the lake and checked for the girl. It was not some other girl. It was my own reflection. I then became conscious of the place where my right ear was, which was throbbing painfully. I reached for it to find my clean left hand become bloody as well. Why was there blood on me? Where was I? Who was I? What was I doing here when it was so dark? But I could not remember anything. In fact, I could remember nothing. No memory, at all. Everything was blank.

That was when I got some flashes. A raven haired boy with onyx eyes was in front of me 'Happy Fourth Birthday Moriko! Now we are the same age!' Next there was a beautiful woman with brown skin and black hair and eyes alongside a man with equally black hair and eyes, but rather fair. 'They told me, it's going to be alright sweetie.'

'Moriko... Moriko... ' I heard someone cry and whisper silently.

The next was of me running as my right ear seared with pain, and I could hear some men chasing me. That was when a man shouted 'Don't let that Suzuki escape!'

Scared of all these flashes and the right side of my face hurting terribly, I started running. I tried to scream but no sound came. It was all so painful, all those flashes. Then everything went black.

*Time Skip to morning*

As the morning light hit my eyes, I woke up to even stranger surroundings. I was on a bed, in different clothes and my right ear was bandaged. I couldn't lift my hands, but my face felt clean too. That was when the door opened and a lady came in. Seeing that I had woken, she smiled to me. I tried to get off but my body ached. Seeing me struggle she told me to calm down. 'You must be still be very tired, so you shouldn't move too much right now. Lay down and rest, dear.'

The lady's words were true since I couldn't dare to move anymore since my body ached so much. Even though I kept feeling fearful, the gentle look on her face was so calming that I found myself relaxing.

Later a man joined as well. After setting down beside me on two chairs, I looked at them with inquiring looks, not sure on what to ask them. They didn't have to wait for my questions as they began explaining to me about what happened.

They found me in their backyard, all messed up and bloody. So they brought me inside and called for a doctor. He told them that I had just become very exhausted and passed out, and I did not have any major injuries other than my right ear, and some small scratches. But some of the blood on my right hand and face was not mine.

'Now, can you tell us what happened to you, dear?' The woman asked.

'I am sorry, but I cannot tell you anything. Nothing at all in fact...' I say with my head down.

'Why do you say that?' it was the man, who was silent the whole time, who asked this time.

'Because, I don't remember anything.' 'Nothing?' I shook my head.

'Do you remember who your parents are?' a shaked my head. 'Your name?'

I was about to shake my head again until- 'Moriko Suzuki' I blurted. It happened by itself. They understood from the surprised look I made. 'How old are you?' '4' I replied, unsure, I think I turned 4 yesterday.'

'What makes you think so?'

'I don't know. It just popped up in my mind.'

*Time Skip*

After I healed, they offered to adopt me. I had become very close to them. They were like my parents. I agreed and started living with them. They owned a dango shop, and it was among the best things I had ever had.

Everything was going so nice. It seemed like nothing would go wrong...

Fixed the part about her injuries.
