PURE BLACK

"Mama!" I cried.

 

"Akira, my sweet Akira." Her blood soaked hand seeped across my cheek. "Zero!"

 

My friend, my closest friend, Zero the demon hound was at my side.

 

"Take her away."

 

Mama placed me on his back and planted a gentle kiss on my forehead.

 

"I will always love you, my darling. Now, go!"

 

And we were off, running from Hell and Heaven and the humans that had attempted to kill us all. I wrapped my black angel wings, the only of their kind, around me.

 

Papa was the king of Angels and Mama was the demon Queen. My sister and I were hybrids, the only of our kinds. I don't know where Mizu, my sister, went. And, now, it's Zero and I against the world.

 

"Where are we going?"

 

"Earth." The home of my enemies.

 

"Mama, Papa...I promise I'll take back your throne, if it's the last thing I do."
