KOORIYASHA

"You look beautiful, Juvia-chan"

"I wish You to be a beautiful bride like you"

"I envy you, you're so beautiful"

Lies. All lies.

That is the only thought that entered my mind whenever they tell me something.

Those people who congratulated me, they are all faceless. Name, which not once had slip out of my lips.

On their face, smiles were plastered, smiles that do not held any sincerity. Their giggles and laughs that held ill intention.

If all of you envy me, then you are all idiots, this day is my wedding day.

And also my funeral.

There's nothing to envy about me

When I am supposed to die.

...

Her long curly blue hair brushed against her wedding kimono, her hands were shaking, every breaths turned into cloud of mists. Her pale skin with blotches of red on her cheeks and nose. Her lips painted with red like blood on snow. The land was cold and dark despite the paleness of the snow, the villagers who guarded her through the forest had left her alone. Without any torches.

"It's all for them, its fine for Juvia to be sacrificed, no one will be sad when she dies."

Even so she couldn't help the pain that's inside her. Her breathing seemed constricted with something. She couldn't help the betrayal she was feeling.

Their town was devastated by snowstorms, and everyone thought that it was the Kooriyasha's doing. They would be doing this sacrifice because they were sick of the Snow for almost three fourths of the year and their only solution appease the Kooriyasha was to sacrifice the most beautiful maiden in town. Hunger, illnesses and a lot of plague had resided on their town.

The snow beneath her feet scrunched as she walked over it. The villagers told her to just keep walking; she couldn't even make out her surroundings because of the blizzard. She squinted her eyes, as she gathered her kimono while walking. Then suddenly, with the speed of light the snow storm stopped.

Her heart beats increased tenfold that she felt it would burst. Wrapping her arms around her, in a comfort to give her warmth, she looked around; the trees were tall and eerie, felt like they were watching her. The silence gripped her like a dead human would receive. The sound of her breathing and heartbeats were her only companion. The pale moonlight bathed the forest with its streaks. She did not believe about the Kooriyasha, the only concern that runs inside her head was that the wolves or any hungry wild animals might kill her.

Her ears slightly twitch from a foreign sound. Her brows furrowed in confusion, she raised her head only to see a barrage of hails and a gust of wind engulfed her in a cold embrace.

Everything was so cold, so dark.

By that time she believed that the Kooriyasha was real.

...

The snow town was bustling with people. Little boots scrunched at the snow as the children run around. Some of their mothers running behind them. The cute kids running around with their winter clothes on. People had come to appreciate the beauty of the Snow and its gift.
