From End To Start

Chapter One - The First Rebirth

Year -3406

The grass feels foreign as the little girl runs out of the area she once called home, a thick glass dome is all she sees behind her as the sun slowly falls and the sky turns a horrible shade of green.Its all getting deleted, we are all getting deleted.

The smile that rested on her young face starts to waver as she watches it all burn, everyone she knows and loved getting erased and never to come back.She's the only survivor, she should be more happy about that but she isn't.Knowing that she will forever be alone is too much for her eight-year old heart to bear as she lays on the grass.

Why would they leave her like this? She knew it was a selfish question since all the other children also had been left in the domes but she couldn't help it.Why me? Why me? Why....me?

The girl had been obedient her whole life and never talked back, she had a happy life even if it was full of strict rules and loneliness.This was her life, this is still her life! She didn't want it to end so soon, just because of some disease some children had.She wished to fight back but only had a piece of paper, that wasn't going to help much.

Her tears threatened to fall after she relized that she wasn't sent to be protected or helped but killed off.The girl didn't want to die, it was such a scary thought as the sky turned black, revealing that the only things that hadn't been deleted was her and this patch of grass.

Why am I still here on this patch of grass? These questions would flow in killing any hope she still thought she had, she was ready to give up and just surrender, I mean nothing else is left at this point.She was smart enough to know this at least.

Suddenly a rustle of the wind alerted her of a new seka's presence, who is still alive after all this?

As soon as she turned around, she realised what this meant, she wasn't going to be reborn as a new person like everyone else would.This person wasn't a person at all, though she had the appearance of one.

Aya, the mother of judgement and rebirth.She's the one I saw in my dreams while I was in the dome.I think every seka knows her, we learn about her in school.I decide to beg for my life as I remember that she's the only one who can save me.

"WAIT! PLEASE! I WANT TO LIVE! PLEASE DONT!"

The great aya moves her hand slightly towards her without any words and slowly backs up thinking Aya might hurt her for begging so desperate.

Unexpectedly,she rests her gentle hand on ziha's head and strokes it slowly.

"My Young Child, you wish to be important? That's the desire everyone possesses inside themselves, that's not enough"

She shakes her head thinking deeply, what is it I actually want to do? Do I want to fight back? Do I want to just repeat the same things? She thought it over many times before answering.

"I WANT TO FIGHT BACK! I WANT TO JOIN YOU AND NOT BE PUSHED OUT OF THE REBIRTH ONCE MORE!"

As soon as she said that, aya smiled and let go of her hair.Aya looks content with that answer and swiftly moves her hands to grip ziha's arms.Leaning up,Aya moves zihas face and lands a soft kiss ontop of her head and strokes her face.Its like she's saying "You'll be fine,I promise"

"That's what you already have, the power of the moon will bless you with her soft tears.There is no more important desire then to help your other brothers and sisters, remember that.Follow me,join me and you'll live"

The quiet words quoted to the world fades away as ziha's vision faded with the paper now filled with a prayer.The world starts to suck all life out of geminisi as the sun fades down and the new moon overlooks the empty land.Nothing remains as the earth's floor cracks and gets swallowed by the sun,exploding destroyimg everything in the process,all life had evaporated into mist and flames covered the rivers and glass domes collapses ontop of the not -there-anymore mountains.The world has ended and a new world will begin.

December,Saturday 12,Year -1906

He shoves his arms through his coat and watch as his little arms dangle out of the coat sleeves, "im still too small for this coat" he thought to himself as the coat saggs on his body.He tried to warm up by sitting with his coat on next to the fire but not too close in case it sets on fire.

"Im not a dumb kid or anything" he said,"I know what fire can do to coats made of fur and im not making that sacrifice at all!"

Suddenly he heard a knock on his door, well it wasn't his door since he shared this apartment with two other girls, but they were out.If this person knew this, why would they knock on this door at this time at night?

Shivering, he stumbled towards the door and went to see who It was.If it was another seka adult telling him to get a life and throw money at him,he would be so pissed.He was not in the mood for going out since it was extremely cold and he was already freezing in his apartment.

As soon as he opened the door, he realized this had been a mistake as he looked up at the tall guy in front of him, his iconic slick backed hair that refused to move no matter what it went through, the overdose of deodorant which makes you want to almost throw up and the short jumper he always wears in any season despite it snowwing right now.

"Hey Ukari, what you doing in your apartment right now? You said we would play tonight!"

Ukari's slid against the door in defeat, yes he did promise him he would play tonight but he backed out because it's so damn cold and the guy has many other friends to play with.

"Harry,Despite the fact that your tall and older then me, your mind always works like a baby, who even plays in this snow anymore? It's a massive hazard"

"Stick in the mud, I wanted to play cards with you again, i even bought cash and balls, why can't we play? You enjoyed last time."

Not wanting to argue, he let the guy in so that he could warm up and hopefully stop this talk before it got out of control and he ended up playing cards again, he didn't hate playing cards with others but with only two people, it got a bit boring, and this guy had a record for cheating anyway.

"I enjoyed it last time because we played the strip version, it's kinda fun to see everyone either embarrassed or just happy to have their clothes off with others, though it can get crazy depending on who is playing"

"Well why don't we play that o-"

"Stopping you there, we aren't playing full stop.No way are we playing the strip version in this cold storm!"

"Aww...."

Harry let out a disappointed noise and sat beside Ukari by the heater, how does this guy not get cold when its so cold right now?

"Am i your friend?"

Shocked by harry's question, he turned around and looked at him.He looks like he's about to cry with his eyes droopy and wet, like a dog that has been scolded.Feeling a bit bad for making him so sad, he sat next to him and give him his oversized coat.Slipping it around his shoulders, he tries to talk to him without upsetting him further.

"You don't think we are friends?"

"Its hard to tell when all you do is whine about me, like "Harry took my card!" or "Harry broke the chair!" or "Harry is annoying!" and you never play with me! You always have some excuse like your too cold or you have to do a trade or talk to your brother.I feel neglected as a friend!"

Realizing harry felt alone this whole time, a pang of guilt strikes his heart and he felt even worse.It had been months since he last ratted on harry but i guess that means he didn't even talk about him for months, he just completely ignored him.

"I'm sorry harry,for ignoring you all this time,I feel like such a crappy friend,really..."

"It's...not okay,but I forgive you,I just wanted you to know if we were friends in the first place.We met at A&D one night and just sort of clicked,right?"

Suddenly ukari shivered in his spot as goosebumps ran across his skin,he forgot how cold it was and how he gave his coat to harry just now.Not that he wanted to be selfish and rip the coat back but he was much more cold without it.

Gently,harry grabbed one side of the coat and pulled it to wrap around ukari's shoulders and legs,it was way too big for even harry who was taller so another person could shuffle and squeeze right in.He snuggled into the coat feeling the warmth from the heater and now the warmth from his friend.

"Didn't know an extra person could make so much of a difference in temperature,with you in here,it's much warmer! How do you do that?"

Getting perky like always,harry returned to his normal carefree way of speaking and acting by getting excited about the smallest of things.Is it really warmer with me in here? I feel much warmer with him in here so I don't know.

"It's called body heat,it's more powerful then any other heat in the world and it can easily warm up another person if they happen to be close"

I may have exaggerated a bit but he's now really happy and curious so im going to just keep the truth to myself.It can't hurt to tell a white lie this small,can it?

"You know,I don't want to leave,it's so warm and comfortable in here~"

His voice drags on as he wipes his eyes and pulls himself into a yawm,I didn't even realize how late it was.I also just realized that throughout this entire time,I haven't even been paying attention to his overdose of deodorant or his jumper that looks too small for him to fit nicely in.I haven't been complaining at him or pushing him aside,we actually talked like normal friends do.It makes me...happy.

At first,I wanted to push him out of the corridor and get him to go away to leave me in peace tonihht.Now I'm wishing he will never leave,how does that work?

"Who said you had to leave? I'm fine with you staying here a little longer,maybe you could stay the night?"

"That would be great,I'm getting really reaallly sleepy so can I just sleep here,right here next to you and this heat?"

I snuggle further into the coat and take in the warm and cozy atmosphere we created,it feels nice.I definitely don't want to break it either.

"Yeah,I don't mind"

Though I'm not really that tired,I grab a pillow and rest our heads by the heater,not too close,and pass off into a nice dream.
