chapter one

I had a strange feeling about myself, I was always different from others, but I never understood why. I know that everyone is different, but I felt that I was more than that. I just couldn't put my figure on it....what's wrong with me? Why am I thinking these thoughts? For whatever reason, I didn't let it get to my thoughts often. Instead, I just ignored it half the time. If you need to think about it I'm just a normal girl I guess...yeah, a normal sixteen year old girl.
Before I can even go on, I should introduce myself. My name is Yue Ryder. I'm eight-teen and I currently live in a small wooden house in Kyoto, Japan. I never went to school; I felt that I didn't need the education because I was already smart enough to live on my own as an independent girl. Although, I do regret not signing up for it. I know a lot of you will start asking why I live alone. Did I run away? No, an old woman found and took me in. I didn't know who she was, but I was very grateful that she took me in. Sadly, she died from an illness when I was eleven and left me her house and money. Since then, I lived alone.
Life was complicated. I knew that but what really hit my nerve was not knowing my biological family.
When the woman was alive I asked her one day, "Where is my family?" She stood silent and stared at me for ten whole minutes. It was as if she was scared to tell me the truth. When she finally had the courage to tell me, I couldn't help but cry. I remember every detail she told me.
She said "Yue, dear. When I found you, you were just a small infant. You were on the beach laying there crying. I saw markings that where very unusual for a child to have and your eyes, they were glowing. It was as if you were reflecting the moon's light. I stood there waiting for your parents to show or any family member, but no one came. I was shocked and surprised for what I have seen but in my heart I knew you were very special, so I took you in as my own."

Ever since that day, I couldn't stop thinking about who I really was or how I got here. It blew my mind, my dreams became nightmares of things I couldn't even describe. I always saw the same thing over and over again. There was a massive wave of people screaming and running for their lives. The voices of their sorrowing yells and agonizing screams repeated over and over again. Then, a woman's voice would talk towards me in language I didn't know, but yet I understood it somehow. A shearing, bright light would appear and then, it was gone. I would wake up screaming, terrified and confused. I would ask myself every time, what is wrong with me!? Why won’t these nightmares go away?! I didn't know what they meant, but I had a feeling they lead to my family and my past.
