Haven of the Moon

Chapter One
Misaki Hill had to push through the entire school to get to class.

Crowds of people formed in the halls and shoved past her, eager to reach the classroom.

The noise was awful, too- shouts and screams that cut into Misaki's eardrums so hard she thought they'd bleed.

A kid was laughing with his friends. He ran down the hall and knocked her onto the ground, scattering all her notebooks and papers.

The kid didn't even seem to realize what he'd done. Or if he did, he didn't care. Nobody ever cared.

As Misaki frantically tried to pick them up before she was crushed, she saw a shadow appear above her.

It was a boy she'd never seen before with bright green eyes and light brown hair.

"I'll help you," he said, and began to start stacking everything into piles.

For a moment, she just sat there in awe of what was happening.

Cute guy- nice- helping her- noticing her existence.

Why?

All her life, Misaki had been taunted for her looks. She might have been okay, gone unnoticed, if she hadn't also had one brown eye and one light blue.

It was called heterochromia, but most people just called it 'weird freaky bug eyes'.

So Misaki went out and bought contacts so it looked like she had brown eyes.

She wore hats so nobody would see her already-short white hair.

Finally, people stopped noticing her.

And now this guy was being nice to her.

Wow, things had really changed.

All of a sudden, Misaki had the unmistakable feeling that something was wrong.

She lifted up one of her books. Why did it feel wrong?

"Hey, d' you want to walk to class together?", the boy asked.

"Sure!" Misaki answered- maybe a little too quickly- with an air of joy.

Wrong, wrong, wrong.

She bent to pick up the stack of books.

Wrong.

Suddenly, she felt a sharp pain in her arm. The room spun violently as a numbness spread from the pain- down her arm and to the tips of her fingers, up to her shoulder and down toward her legs.

Wrong.

Misaki's arms gave out, and everything fell to the floor. Then the numbness reached her legs, and her knees buckled as she collapsed on the floor.

The numbness finally spread upwards, towards her heart, and it stopped beating.

No oxygen.

She would die.

People were clambering around her, trying to help, but she hardly noticed them.

As it reached her head, a sort of sluggish blanket fell over her mind.

Absolute peace.

But no comprehensible thoughts.

Her mind went numb, and the last thought she had was;

I'm going to die.

Then her vision blurred, and everything was dark.

Whohoo! We finished Chapter One!
Trust me, I do have a plan for this story. You'll understand it soon.
