Rin Ayanami, that's my name, but also a name which made kids around me frown.
Since the very young age, I saw many hidden faces people make, even in kids who are considered as innocent beings on earth, I didn't understand why, why they hated me so much, even when I didn't do anything bad to anyone, was it because of my nature, personality? Or my appearance? I never got the answer of this question.
But I decided to ignore everything, and focus on my dreams. I wanted to be a taekwondo player, and to pursue my dream, my father helped me alot.
My father, a quite famous politician, was also known for his kind nature, and loved by many, but... my situation was total opposite from him, well nevermind.
I used to spend most of my time in taekwondo classes, even skipped school days many times, why should I even go to a place where my presence didn't mattered? When they see me as no less than a ghost.
The only kid who never saw me as a threat was myown younger brother.
That kid, always smiles infront of me, played games with me, him despite being very young, I felt he was more mature and understanding than any of my classmates or schoolmates, and I vowed to protect this kid at all cost, because he was the first one who saw me as a human, after my parents.
But fate... had different plans for me, something I can never forget.
It was a normal day, I decided to reach home early after taekwondo practice, because I promised my brother that I will play his favourite games with him today.
My journey from taekwondo class to almost close to my mansion went normally, until... I saw some strange black cars, parked outside my house, I first thought that it might be cars of my father's friends whom I don't know, but I felt a sense of danger. And then...a scream of my brother echoes...
I dropped my bag on ground and ran towards my house, I felt the pressure in my blood rising.
When I reached, I saw the doors of my house broken and trails of blood flowing out, my eyes followed the flow, when my eyes finally found the source, I felt the ground from under my feets slipped away. The dead body of my parents, laid still on floor, covered in blood, my eyes wandered around, until it landed on my brother who is held roughly by two strange mens, his painful cries, shattered my heart, but I also felt a sense of protectiveness. I rushed to him and pushed away those two mens, and held him tightly against my body, shielding him from the sight of those mens. As soon as I held him, his little hands clinched tightly to my shirt, which made me realised what horrifying events he went through when I wasn't here.
"W-who are you all!!! Why...WHY YOU KILLED MY PARENTS?!!"
I yelled at them, none of them replied anything, another men walked infront of me, leans down a bit and spoke in low yet creepy voice.
"You seems...smart...I will let your dearly brother alive...if you get me that precious thing which you family got...in past"
At first, I was confused by his words, but then I remembered, a Box. My father has once told me about it, he told me that my grandparents were the first who got that box, on a random day, a strange girl, gave it to my grandparents, and said.
"Take care...of this box"
Before my grandparents could ask about her identity and about the box, she vanshied from their sight. But since my grandparents were quite religious, they decided to hide this box beside an abandoned shrine, deep under soil.
As soon as I remember the spot where that box is buried, I decided to make a run for it, but before I could leave with my brother, that man snatched my brother away from me.
"Not so fast little girl, this boy will stay here...now, his life depends on YOU. If you tried to outsmart me...then...I can't guarantee the possibility of your brother chances rate to survive, now...GO"
His words were no less than a nightmare for me, one wrong move and I can't imagine what will happen to my precious brother.
I quickly ran outside, made my way to that abandoned shrine, it wasn't so far. I ran as fast as I could and soon reached at that place. To make my situation even worse, it started raining...
Despite this all, I digged at that exact spot beside shrine where that box might be buried with my bare hands. And luckily I found it.
I quickly picked it up and made my way back to house, hoping they didn't did anything to my brother. I can't imagine losing him. He's only 4 years old. I was determined to protect him at all cost.
When I finally reached back home, My body froze when I saw two giant creatures... I don't even know how to describe their features, standing beside my parents dead body, tearing off their limbs one by one, like those creatures are playing with their body parts. But I didn't have time to be terrified. I gave that box to that man and quickly held my brother back in my arms, I can fell his body trembling in fear.
I think I finally saved my brother, until that man drops that box open.
THUD
My eyes widened, body froze at its place...when I saw that...the box is empty.
"Why....why is it empty?!! Wasn't something precious is supposed to be inside it?!!! It can't be..."
Words ran inside my mind, terrified.
That man slowly turns his head down to me, where I'm kneeled to the floor, shielding my brother who is trembling uncontrollably.
"You...decided to trick me? Don't you...little girl?"
That man spoke, a sense of danger dropping from his words.
"NOO!!! BELIEVE ME!! I DIDN'T DO ANYTHING!!! PLEASE BELIEVE ME! I SWEAR IT WASN'T EMPTY!!!"
I tried to convince that man, to believe my words. I don't want to lose my brother...he is the only family left for me.
Before I could argue more with that man, those two creature started to walk near me...one of it grabbed my brother's neck from behind and started to pull him away from me. I screamed....Begged...to spare my brother's life. I even offered them to kill me instead. But they didn't listened, at this point I knew I have no option left but to fight back, I grabbed that creature, ugh...maybe it's that things arm? Which is holding onto my brother's neck, and started to crush it with my hands strength, to make it leave my brother.
That time, I felt my strength increasing, as I remember, I was 10 yrs old that time.
Maybe that's what people called Adrenaline rush.
With a final swift, I ripped off that creature's arm, which made it step back for a time. I thought I won...
But then..
The other creature made some creepy noise, and rushed to reach to me, I held my brother tightly and was about to run, then, that 1st creature, grews it's arm back...and with that new arm, it scratched down with its calws on my back. Which made me kneeled again, yet I held my brother tightly.
I was left stunned, shocked, traumatized and helpless, I can feel blood peeking out of that scratch wound in my back.
Before I could even move, 2nd creature grabbed my both wrist and pinned them to floor with iron nails forcefully.
I screamed...
Not because I felt pain in my hand...but I saw that the 2nd creature...took my brother away from me and ripped his head...off from his body.
I screamed out of my lungs...till the point I can feel my lungs bleeding inside.
But those creatures didn't stopped...they started to rip off my brother's limbs now...like they're playing some kind of puzzle game... Removes each pieces one by one.
My vocal cords felt like they were tearing apart, I cried out loudly for them to stop.
But they didn't stop anyway...
They twisted his body, strechtes them beyond limits. And I had no option left but to just scream and watch it happen right infront of my eyes. Those creatures were enjoying, playing and eating those limbs... I felt like throwing up.
Those mens left after sometimes. But those creatures continued they playing.
And after what felt like hours, those creatures finally disappears. And me? I was left alone in that house now, blood staining my clothes, skins and hands. While my eyes were fixed on the ripped limbs scattered all across the floor. It's even hard to tell which part is of whom.
---
When rain finally stopped, some people who passed by from my mansion saw the horrifying scene and called cops.
Soon...police with ambulance arrived. And they took me to hospital for treatment.
Everyone were left is horrified. My whole family got killed, leaving me alone, alive.
It felt like they left me alive to mock me for how weak I'm.
Many politicians friends of my father stepped up, wanting to adopt me, to support me (according to them).
But my father once told me
"You can be friends with politicians, but never trust them fully, they are no less than a monster in shadows"
I didn't even have time to mourn over my family death. Those hungry wolves in human form were waiting for my one wrong move.
I took a final decision that I will inherit my father's title, property and everything which he left for me. I refused to take help from any other outsider. Luckily there were some loyal servents who decided to help me.
---
When I grew up, I gave up on my taekwondo dream. What's even point of learning it when I don't have anyone to protect?
I decided to continue my studies.
---
It is the time when I reached junior high, first year.
I didn't believed in friendship kind things so I kept myself side. Hidden from every student's gaze.
Until one day...
A girl named Yuki, walked to my bench, took my hands and gave me chocolate. I froze.
She spokes up, with a cheerful warm smile on her face... exactly like my younger brother.
"It's my birthday today!! So here's chocolate for you too!!"
"Chocolates...for me?"
I thought.
"T-thank you, and... Happy birthday..."
I said, it would be rude of me to not reply her back since she showed such positivity towards me.
"Will you be my friend, Rin? I would love to be one of your friend!!"
She said, cheerfully.
And I was confused...why she wanted to be friend with someone like me? I questioned myself but then she spoke up.
"You see...I often noticed you spending most of your time alone... And you know what... I actually find you very Cool type person! You can say I have became your fan, hehe..."
Yuki said, while scratching the back of her neck awkwardly.
And actually, her words stirred something inside me. I felt...relieved? Happy?
I don't know, I can't put name of whatever that feeling is.
And from that day, we became friends.
----
When I reached 3rd year of junior high, me and Yuki meet another two girls...
Fumiko and Ami.
We first meet those two in a school event randomly, and from that day, we four became best friends, more like a family.
A family...I vowed to protect, this time...I won't fail.
