Tortured Lives
Chapter one: Sisters
It was a cold and rainy night when the crystal mage met the man that she would very soon come to despise. The rain pounded her face and the wind whipped her china blue hair as she entered a clearing. Cryala looked around for the man that sent her a message to meet him in the clearing that she had just entered. Suddenly she tensed as she sensed another presence close by. A pair of crimson eyes loomed into sight accompanied by a low menacing laughter. “Who are you,” she asked.
The man looked down at her and said, “You are a crystal mage are you not,”
“Yes I am but you still haven’t answered my question.
“Well as to who I am, my name is Hiyoko,” Cryala froze, Hiyoko’s hand shot out and grasped her upper right arm in a vice like grip.
“Hey what are you,” Cryala’s words were cut off by a skeletal hand covering her mouth. “Now you listen here,” he hissed in her ear as he pulled her towards him. “You do everything I tell you to and I will spare your life,”
Cryala had no choice. She closed her eyes to try and block some of her crystal magic, luckily for her it worked.
“It seems that the famed crystal mage isn’t as strong as people believe her to be,” Hiyoko sneered. Cryala just gave a weak sob before falling unconscious.
The eyes of a sixteen-year old began to water as she remembered the story her mother had told her before her baby sister was born. Katie wasn’t the type of person to look after people like her sister Shadow due to what her father had wanted from her ever since the age of four. Her mind shifted to that day and she moved over to her bed to think.
“Kathryn,” a loud voice broke the sleepy silence in Rebuctic Mansion in the early hours of morning.
“Yes father,” answered a small girl who looked to be about the age of four. Her hair was yellow with blue cat ears and tail but her eyes were a deep golden color and seemed to hide a dark past that no one but herself should ever know. She climbed out of her bed and stepped slowly over to her father who was standing in the doorway. “Have you ever done anything for your baby sister Katie,” he asked. Katie looked at her father fully intending to say yes but when she saw the look on his face she thought better because she knew that if she did her sister Shadow and herself would be biting off more then they could chew. “No father because I know what she is and have and will never care about a little fire bug like her,” she replied knowing that Shadow could hear her and prayed that she didn’t believe that white lie of hers.
Hiyoko closed the door on his daughter and turned to Cryala who was cradling a small girl in her arms. The girl had long orange hair with red dragon wings and dragon tail. The infant looked up at her mother with a small smile but when her mother didn’t look down at her she proceeded to play with the crystal dragon pendent around her neck. “Shadow should at least be able to grow up Hiyoko. You know as well as I that if introduced to darkness at her age can lead to devastating consequences and even death,” said Shadow’s mother ignoring the orange glow around her daughter and the fact that a child so young was trying to undo the damage that she had suffered at the hands of a perverted monster only four years ago.
“Shadow has already chosen her path as young as she is she will never be a use to me mage and you should know that,” said Hiyoko and with that he began to channel his power into the small girl who fell into a coma for eleven years to allow her own powers to strengthen and grow to destroy the monster who tried to corrupt her and her mother.
Katie shook her head to rid herself of the memory of the impressive amount of power that her father had transferred to her baby sister. Shadow was not even a year old and had already chosen her path in life. Katie looked down at her sister’s unconscious form on the bed next to hers. It wasn’t fare that Shadow was willing to go through so much to choose her path and that as her older sister Katie couldn’t decide. Katie picked up her school things and left never intending to come back.
