Chapter one The Childhood
In a forest not to far off from a villige kids play hide and seek. A little girl in a black kimono black hair and red eyes watches them. She looks at her hand with her pale and white skin and looks back at the kids with their skin brown and dark. A boy comes in the girl’s direction to hide behind and the tree and when he sees her he screams “AHHHH!!Run it’s the devil girl! Run before she turn you into a thing like herself” the boys and girls look at her for a minute and run screaming as the girl stays there in the clearing watching as they leave. A women walks out from behind another tree goes over to the girl and hugs her. The girl does nothing as the womens skin is the same color as the kids. “it is ok my child don’t be sad” the girl says nothing but still cries scilently. The women picks the girl up and walks towards the villige. As they enter the little girl is walking again holding the womens hand. When they pass the stores shops and food places all the people stare some even tell their kids to go inside. The women pays them no attention but the girl looks at the ground as she walks still crying. The two reach a little cottage as a man is paceing back and forth infront of the door when he sees the girl he runs over and hugs her. “ Oh thank god! Your safe, did the other kids hurt you like they did last..”the girl cuts him off as she continues to stare at the ground “no..they didn’t” the women pulls up the girls sleeve showing red marks of scares from the bursies the kids gave her a while back. The girl takes her arm away and walks inside the cottage saying not another word. The man and women look at each other . The man looks back at the house “we must be more careful don’t you think?”he says “yes…we don’t want another accident like when we first found her.” the women said as she hugged the mans arm close to herself.“I don’t want my baby to get hurt..I don’t want my karei… to get hurt” they look up at the sky as the birds of white and grey pass by them.
Chapter two The dream
The area was dark and eyrie all that was lit was karei in a spot light voices all around her calling out “Hahaha! It’s the freak girl! Run before she turns you into a freak too!” the voices laugh all karei could do was sit there and cry “Why am I different.” She says as she cries more. “Why am I so different from the others!” something hits her leaveing a red mark on her face “move freak your in my way!” “I am sorry ”she moves away to another spot now in the dark the light stays where it is “tsk tsk why do the villige towns people let in such an ugly thing like that it should be illigel to be looking like that” the voices laugh again. The girl hears another voice but this one was not like the others this one was more calm serious and kind. “you poor child. You have been beaten and called names” karei relizes that it is a guys voice speaking to her “the ones you call neighbors talk curely about you behind your back the ones you used to call friends turn theirs back on you and beat you instead” karei looks down at the black ground know that what the voice says is ture. “I will relive you of your suffering all you need to do..is find me of the land of darkness” she looks over at the light as a man stands there with a coat of black elegant cloth black fur for the collar his long black hair tied up and an empty sword case. His face covered by darkness. Another voice calls out to karei “Don’t go to him! He will only cause you more pain and suffering!”another light shines on the opposite of the first man. All though this one was the same as the other one he was dressed in white and his hair silver and shining. “Come to the land of light and solve all your problems peacefully.” Karei didn’t know what to do she stood in between the two men unable to see either of their faces nothing but blackness she steped back and panicked as the two men closed in on her. They say the same at the same time “Come with me. Come to the one who will set you free!” karei gets scared and screams her eyes closed shut as she feels someone shakeing her. She opens her eyes to find herself in her room a women stand by her side as karei relized it was her shakeing her. “I… am sorry..mother” The mother sighs in relief “please do not scare me like that karei you had me worried sick when you started to squirm and then scream” “Again I am sorry” kerei gets up and looks in the mirror. Instead of a little girl karei , it was karei grown and 16. “…happy birthday me ”she sighs in hopelessness as her mother leaves the room to go make breakfast. Karei got dressed in her new clothes she wore a dress with long sleeves boots and her long black hair down she puts a necklace on that has the words ~gone but never forgotten~ written on the front and ~lived and never died~ on the back “Karei! breakfast is ready!” calls her mother “Comeing mom!” she looks in the mirror once more”another year another day of my rotton life” karei leaves the room and goes to eat breakfast. But when she left something glowed under her bed like eyes one red the other white. They glowed for just a minute and disappeared.
Chapter three The following boy
After breakfast karei left the house and went to the clearing she last saw the kids and then scream running away from her. Ever since that day she practicly never went outside only time she did was to help her mother with the gardening, or go with her to the market other then that she spent most her time at hom and or in the back of the house writeing, drawing, or just gazeing at the sky. “….ten years ago..i was six and the..”she stop remembering what the man in black said to her in her dream“the ones you called friends..” she repeated aloud “the ones who turned their backs on me and spoke curely” she touched the tree trunk of the one she hid behind it was wilted and old close to dieing”..did I do this? Did I do this to the tree..and make it rot?” karei hears a twig crack behind her. She quikly turns around to see who it was “Whos there!” she shouted alittle scared. But no one answered her “Come out now befor I..I..”she couldn’t tell she knew not anyone would listen to her. “or you will do what? A young boy comes from behind a tree with a black cloak on. “…nothing” she says softly “well?”he says obviously expecting something from karei “well what?” “aren’t you going to bow down to me” “why would I bow to a commener I might not be the same as you but I wont bow”she gets alittle angry “oh? But we are alike”he steps towards her as she steps back “have you not noticed the color of my skin?” she looks at him and her eyes widen. He was white as well! “I might not be plae and so white skinned as you but we are the same in a way” “t..that still doesn’t give me a right to bow down to you” “well you should because I am your prince” karei laughs “prince? The prince is not allowed outside the castle walls not ever” he walks over to her and places a hand on her check “I have escaped from the prison or you would call it the castle and I have found something I most desire” she didn’t speak she was actually speechless! In her head she was hipervenalateing but she couldn’t help it. “I am sorry but for a month now I always sneeked out of the walls and came..to see you” karei remember this so called prince every time she went to get food at the market! wearing the same cloak and everything just his hood up. “what do you mean by most..desire” “my parents..they also are the same skin color is getting me into an aggrenged marriage I am against it with all my heart and soul but they don’t listen to me” he takes his hand off her “what does that have to do with me?” she asked as she was very confused with it all “well unless I can find a bride withen a month I will be married to someone I never met or talked to in my life” he smiles his face now close to hers. “and ever since I saw you the frist time I wanted you to be my bride you name..karei is it?” “yes but..how..”he cut her off “you names means beauty and its ture to what your name is you are very beautiful indeed” karei got red and was very obvious to see with her pale face. “I still don’t know what this has to do with me” “don’t you get it I want you as my bride and I will do anything to have you..please accept my offer” befor she could even say yes if she wanted to or not the prince kissed her soft and passionately. They stayed like that for a minute. After that he let go of her and stared into karei’s eyes “your eyes are beautiful too ruby and the good color of blood” he kissed her again she was frozen stiff and could do nothing. He let go of her again after aminute and huged her. Karei still did nothing all she could do was ask. “what is your name dar prince…” “my name is..kaibutsu”he smiled and let go of her in the hug she fell to the ground as kaibutsu ran off with a smirk on his face. Before he let her go he whispered in her ear “I am the following boy and I will have you as my wife” karei sat there surprised the prince. The prince himself! Had come up to her and asked her to be his wife!! She looked down at the ground and saw a red box. She took it and opened it. Inside was a ruby ring as ruby red gem can get with diamond crystals surrounding it and a gold band it shined bright in the daylight. She closed the box the ring still inside and took it home with her still surprised as ever she just couldn’t get him out of her mind. Later that day at night karei had dinner and went to her room she looked in the mirror and her eyes widen even more then befor. For a second she could have sworn she saw him she sworn it was kaibutsu in her mirror but befor she could get a second chance to look at him his figure was gone. She took the box out of her dress pocket looked at it and set it on the night stand beside her bed. After takeing a bath she changed into her night clothes and went to sleep. In the middle of the night karei’s mother came in to check on her. She smiles when she saw what she had seen. Karei smileing gracefully for the first time in many many years. “my baby..my karei all grown up..is smileing again” she kissed karei’s forhead and went back to her own bed and fell asleep. But it is obvious on what karei was smileing for. She was having a dream about the prince, having a dream about kaibutsu. And on the night stand beside her was an open and empty box. Her hand lay on her pillow next to her face the ring was on her hand and it ment. She had accepted the princes offer.
Chapter four the invitation
The next morning when karei was done with her morning routine of taking baths and household chores she went into her room and smiled into the mirror. “Karei!” it was her mother calling she turned her head towards the door expecting her to come in any minute yet she didn’t. “yes mother?!” “could you come here please there is something for you!” with a heavy sigh karei left her room and headed for the kitchen where her mother was waiting for her. “yes mum what is it?” “well a letter has come for you” she hands karei the letter. “a…letter? For me?” with excitement of getting her first letter she opened it quickly reading it aloud
Dear household, By the order of the prince kaibutsu all young women shall attend the royal masquerade ball two days from today. A dress is required naturally with a mask that covers the eyes and not the mouth. The ball is starting at eight o’ clock promptly and will end at twelve o’ clock sharp. All may attend of the household in which this letter has been sent to and will only allow two people into the ball per letter. may we see you there and we hope you have a good time.
Sincerely, King Naze Queen Kaila Prince Kaibutsu Ω Œ ¥
“mother…I’m..invited to a ball” “that’s wonderful my dear but there is two problems” “and what might they be mother?” “well one we need to get you a new dress and mask which I doubt we have enough money for and two you have no one to take to the ball” “I understand about the dress and mask but I could always ask father to come” “oh would you now” karei’s dad came up behind her taking her hand spinning her and ending it with dipping her down.” “dad! Your such a show off” they both laughed with each other. “I might be a show off but I am a good one” he bows “and It would be an honor to go with you to the ball” “and it would be an honor to even go to the ball at all” “what does this precious black rose mean by that” “I have nothing to wear to it so I might as well not go at all.” “…oh wait karei I have something for you “her mother went to her room and pulled a big long box out from one of her drawers’. “I was going to give it to you when you were getting married but this is a better opportunity to wear it” as karei pulled out the blood red satin dress with ruby gems embodied all around it in elegant patterns, and elbow length gloves with more rubies on top of the sleeve she began to cry. “oh what’s wrong my dear” “mom…I’m sorry but… its just that I don’t deserve to wear this its to grand for me…I could never..” “but you will I have the shoes as well in my closet and..we can buy the mask tomorrow with some of the money we saved up for a better home.” “mother no! I couldn’t let you use that money for me I just couldn’t live with my self if you had to do that!” “its ok we want to do this me and your father both we want you to be happy.” Karei’s mother smiled. “yes your mother and I will put you first in anything and this is a moment we should do that” he father smiled as well. “…thank you mom…thank you dad” karei hugged them both tightly. “I love you both ever so much don’t ever forget that.” “we wont my dear” “we wont ever forget my dearest black rose”
In a dark and what used to be seen as an abandon castle
A man in a black cloak kneels down in front of a throne as another man comes and sits down in it. “my lord it seems the girl has proudly excepted the invitation to the prince’s ball.”The man on the throne smiles. “good go an prepare my vassal I thinks its time to pay my future bride a visit.” “yes my lord” the man kneeling got up and bowed before leaving the great hall. As the man on the throne pulled out a photo from the inside of his cloak he looked at it. “dear karei you’ll be mine once again and this time I wont let those disgusting lilac people take you away from me again” he stared at the photo…which was karei and the man embrassing each other as they kiss. “you’ll be mine..my love karei”
Chapter five The masquerade ball of truth
“Mother! Can you help me with the buckle on my shoe?” “just a moment I need to help your father with his tie he can put one on for his life and it be on right!” karei laughed at that. When they were all dressed and ready karei and her father left the home in a black carriage. And off they went to the castle where the ball is held. When they got there karei was a nervous wreck as she stepped out the carriage she slipped her mask comeing off her face she had almost fell onto the ground , but something caught her by her waist pulling her up and against what seemed to be a body. Karei looked up to see a young dashing man with long waist length hair Egyptian shaped eyes and the eye color of gold, but what shocked her most was he was white pale just like herself ! As the man gazed upon karei his eyes widen. “karei?. . . is that you?” “yes… karei is my name but how do you..”the man cought her off guard by kiss deeply and passionately on the lips and a big hug. He let her go after what seemed to be forever to karei but was only ten seconds. “oh karei I’ve missed you so much after those disgusting lilac people took you away from me I thought I had lost you. They have done terrible things by putting you to live with mortals!” karei was very confused at this point she was about to scream then feint. “um…excuse me sir but what are you talking about…I have no idea who you are and I just met you now please let me go.” “you…dont know who I am? But…we almost got married..how can you forget something like that!” he pushed her away towards her father where he caught her and held her close. “it seems they have erased your memory and made you start you life over…but I will get you back I promise you.”the man left up the stairs of the castle and behind him followed three other people with cloaks and hoods on they said nothing to karei as they passed not even a glance to her they just left following the man into the castle. “father..i’m..scared now” she buried her face into his chest. “its ok my black rose” he rubbed karei’s back. “he gone…hes gone now.” After thirty minutes or so karei picked her mask up off the floor dusting it off and putting it back on her face. When karei and her father went inside they saw the grand hall first of all tings and it filled with people dancing and having a great time. When karei stepped under an archway al the lights cut off. Everyone began to scream. A voice started to echo thru out the grand hall. “my fair people many of you have been tricked and fell into a deathly trap. May the one you pray to protect you.” As the voice finished a light shone onto the throne of where the prince’s where to sit and out came kaibutsu dressed in white with an evil smile upon his face. “many of you do not know that I bet none of you know that your prince your true prince died many years ago. Yet the king and queen never told you the old prince was just like me but he died some time ago. While he was growing up so was I none of you knew that your so called prince had a twin. So for fifteen damn years!...your prince has been living but once he turned sixteen I killed him!” kaibutsu laughed loudly and proud of himself. “then I came in for once and was aknowldge by all and my mother and father…but now I’ve had enough of being a stupid prince.” A few moments later the king and queen fell from the staircase balcony above the thrones and were hung in a minute they were dead. “I shall be king and you shall all bow down to me! I am not kaibutsu yet dokoru! One of the banished people as well of the lilac people the ones who you thin protect you I’ve transferred myself into this body and that’s how I came into this world!.” He put his hands out as his fingertips began to glow green soon everyone inside the grand hall was forcefully bowing down onto the ground except five people. One karei who was fightend out of her mind and the man who she met when she got here along with the three hooded men. “why…why is this happening…”karei spoke to herself quietly. “Oh! Karei! So you came. I thought you wouldn’t come my dear. please come to me.” She shook her head and began to step back.” I SAID COME HERE!” kaibutsu pointed at her as his finger glowed red. Karei screamed ducking and covering her head.but nothing happened. She stoped screaming and lifted her head to see the man from earlier standing in front of her. “my love karei…nothing will ever happen to you again I promise you this you were taken from me once…you shall never be taken from me again.” She helped her up and held her closely to him.” “oh is that you joukai? Oh how has it been a long time since we’ve met.i belive it was you who truned me into the head lilac! And got me banished out of there!” dokuro was surrounded by flames as he was talking and only grew as he did. And all joukai did was ignore him. “Shai ! Kai! Rai! We’re going to the castle…meet us there when you’ve erased our trail over there and yourselves.” Three hooded ones turned to the man and karei and bowed. “yes my lord we shall do as you say.”they stood and faced dokuro. “don’t you ignore me! You b*****d!!”joukai continued to ignore dokuro and did nothing to him but that. “lets us go my love” karei didn’t say anything but all she did was silently cry against the mans chest.”..my love” without another word the man cloed his eyes and the two dissappeard in black flames. “you idiots! You shall not hide her from me!i will take her back!”dokuro walked angrily over to where they were standing but the three hooded ones got in his way. “…you shall not win this. I will get her back I swear it on your lives! And I shall kill you joukai if it’s the last thing I do!”he was then covered in a gust of green smoke.as it cleared he was gone. “we should be going now yes?”the one in the middle turned the the ones on both of his sides and they noded. “then let us go” they turned around and left the castle then growing white wings and flying away and vanished into the distance.
