1 A Bullet Anew
Pitter…Patter…
I run through the congested houses, hoping to lose my trail. The rain all the more hindering my movement and theirs too
Running with all my might, I squint my eyes to see a broken building, thinking I could lose them - I run as fast as I can but as I am ever so close to my hope.
Boom
I turn around to spot a black shadow pointing a gun at me. Pain overtaking my chest, my lungs breaking out. My vision blurring and my breath slowing - I fall to the ground hoping this pain goes away. The rain hitting my eyes, I close my eyes hoping…Hoping that someone can save me, but alas. As I take my last breath, I remember my past - my suffering of being abandoned, being an orphan. Stealing wallets, getting beaten up. 'Why is my life like this, I just wanted to be happy like others, love someone and be loved'
A bright light shines upon my face as I squint at the sheer intensity of it. I hear a voice in my head as I try to open my eyes.
"Fear not child, you will not be able to handle the sight you see if ever you open your eyes to behold me"
'What…' I exclaim from surprise as I thought I misheard someone talking
"You have not misheard, fate brought us together as mysterious as that woman is. I have not an inkling to what that woman thinks nor shall I ever understand why she brought you to me"
'Fate? and who are you supposed to be' Questioning the voice in my head, I try to understand what will happen to me
"Fate wanted you to live again, and so I shall per take the action for her"
'I can live again? but why, and who is fate" further questioning why Im here
"No questions child, know that fate holds you in special regard - but without further ado. Goodbye child, you shall start from Zero again"
'Wait! I still have to know what I should do" I feel my soul getting pulled as I try my hardest to open my eyes. But try as I can, the pulling force strengthened.
"Live your life - that is what Fate wants"
I heard the voice as it answered my question.

X - City ; Underground
Opening my eyes, I see green eyes - emerald hues, shining in the dark. Curly hair with a green tinge.
'Beautiful'
my mind boggling from the way they looked at me, as if Im a relic to be handled carefully. I try to steer away from those eyes as I inspect my surroundings, I noticed that my hands are small and that all the sounds that come out from my throat are cries.
'Am I baby?' I question my body
I further inspected and noticed another girl beside my beautiful caretaker, green eyes and opposite from my caretaker, her hair is silky with small tinges of green.
Both girls were wearing a white patient hospital looking clothes, with scratch marks and wounds all over their body. My caretaker especially was wearing a metal bracelet as I feel it behind my back, scratching my skin.
The room was small, barely enough for 3 people adult sized, with only a door and a small opening that the girls can barely reach.
Boom
As I was thinking about what to do, Alarms started going off, red light peeking the opening of the door. Screams loud and clear, and cries as sorrowful they can be. I jolt my head as I feel movement from my caretaker
"Let me check whats happening"
Although I can barely understand them, as I was a thief in my past life - I know basic Japanese as sometimes get Japanese customers whom I later steal from.
My caretaker propped herself up to the opening as she jolts right back down, shaking in fear from what ever she saw.
"What happened!" the younger sister, assuming they are siblings, asked her the situation. The younger sister hugged my caretaker, squishing me from their hug.
"Theres a monster outside…" my caretaker murmured.
"What!" The younger sister exclaimed loudly
Suddenly the door snapped open as a four legged monster with two of its arms making the door bent, arms with huge shapely muscles and a huge maw littered with terrifying sharp teeth. Eyeballs across its head looking our way.
My caretaker carefully handed me to the younger beauty as she said
"Ill handle it,try to get away while I try to distract it"
Words filled with conviction and bravery echoed out the room as she stands across the monster but try as she might, I can see her eyes watering from fear.
The monster crawls itself nearer to her, as she closes her eyes murmuring
"I can do this…I can do this…"
Saying it over and over again until suddenly a burst of power, explodes outwards from her, a shield appearing over me and my younger caretaker.
"What…" my younger caretaker said amazed of what just happened to her big sister
'Holy shit' my eyes shining as I stared at the girl with green glowing eyes
'I want that power' I said to myself

'What?'
I questioned what just happened before my consciousness blanks out.
