Nai Hina- Marionette and the puppet master
It happened so quickly. I was helping my friends set up the party. I was having so much fun learning about the art of pom poms. Violet and Solana had helped me find a nice outfit to wear on the day, my Lolita dress was muddy and ripped. Sitting on a oak tree log wearing a hot pink strapless dress with yellow detail, I waited for the others to come back. Nothing Happened. My light brown hair was blown onto my china face. A pale hand reached forward and moved it out so I could see again. The stranger was beautiful with curly brown hair and emerald green eyes. His skin was as pale as mine and his smile warmed my heart. I blushed and looked at the others. They weren’t there. He grabbed my hand and led me to a van. When I saw the XL logo on it I tried to pull away but I couldn’t. His grip was too strong. The boy threw me into the van smashing my leg causing it to bleed. Smoke was released and I passed out.
When I woke up I was in a room full of mirrors. The boy was gone.
My leg was bandaged but still bleeding. Pain surged through my arm and I realised I had summoned a sword. I had no recollection of ever trying to create it. My head was forced up by the stranger from earlier. He examined me and injected a liquid into my skin. Immediately I could feel my china cracking and it was like I was being pulled by iron strings. I let out a scream and was silenced by a cold hand. Then my finger started to tap. I couldn’t control it, it just kept tapping. From underneath me my legs rose and were unbalanced on the slick surface. Why couldn’t I control my own body? I wanted to cry but instead I just spat up blood. The stranger pulled me up so I was sitting straight.
“My name is Kihachiro Kawamoto and I have been waiting for you Nai, I am the puppet master and you are my puppet. I have been training my whole life waiting for this moment. When you would finally become mine. When I could finally control you. I will teach you so much and you will become the best weapon. One without will. That only obeys me. The perfect doll.” He touched my skin with his fingers and ran them down my body. Another tray was brought in and only them I noticed the red thread around the room. Kihachiro reached and whispered in my ear.
“The red string of fate, my love.” I got control of my feet and ran to a wall slamming it as hard as I could. Only to find myself being pulled back again by him.
“So here’s what’s going to happen. Over a week the drugs will kick in and I will have complete control of your body. Then after today you will be receiving more drugs which will help you control your ability to summon
weapons. After those you will be bathed In a special chemical which will give you the ability to dismember your body and control each limb and bone separately. When you have all these abilities which will take little less than a week I will have your memories wiped and give you a completely new identity and appearance. The best part is that you will slowly lose your memories.”
He laughed smugly and stabbed me again. I screamed as he left the room. Slowly it began to fill with blue chemical water. I felt my dress dissolving and curled into a ball so no one could see my hideous body. My head went hazy and I began to forget. Slowly and Painfully. My emerald green eye cracked and glass shattered everywhere. I was half blind. Patches of my hair went black and my hand came off. As it fell it twitched and crawled all over the place. A new smell entered the water and I passed out sinking into the blue depths.
The next morning I sat in my room watching my hand scamper around the place. My memories had been completely wiped over that night but there was still one thing I could remember. A club, a land for misused toys. I couldn’t remember their names but their smiling faces gave me enough energy to keep fighting. I remembered the dark girl and my friends the sun and the violet sky. I remembered baby and I cheeky fox. I saw a little green man. And as I sat in that mirrored room I hoped that before my memories were gone I could see them all once more. And that I would get out of this hell hole.
