A long time ago, a young girl was kidnapped because of her scarlet red hair...

________________________________________________________________________________

I was so young then...

To think that just two years before then, I lived with my beloved mother and father in our home in Magnolia.

My mother was the head of my family's dojo, where I trained to be the best that I could be. My father supported me all the way, even though he had no experience with fighting whatsoever.

Still...

Life takes away what you love.

At the age of seven, I had to grow up a little faster than most my age.

My parents were slaughtered before my eyes to defend me. I had failed to protect them. I failed as their daughter.

After my parents were killed, I was kidnapped and taken somewhere far away from my home to be a slave laborer for a very dark group of people. I seemed to quickly adapt this harsh life style though and even managed to make some friends, children younger than me who were in the same situation as I.

This time... I had to protect them. I will not let those bright-eyed blushing kids suffer the same fate as my parents.

The day I turned nine years old, me and those kids tried to plan an escape. At first, it seemed like it was going to work.

It failed.

We were caught.

I remember crying, begging to spare their lives but, fate is a cruel thing.

BANG

One was shot dead.

BANG

Another.

BANG

Those kids were executed by me, one by one.

And suddenly, half of my world became dark.
