After spending two long years with the Sotōs family, Akira was worked vigorously every day as she lived like the family's personal maid. She cleaned, cooked, took care of laundry, and did all the groundskeeping. The past few days leading up to the incident, the Sotōs had been in one of the loudest and most violent arguments yet. She managed to escape the small war to her basement room. Where she made the decision that would forever change her life. As the father's footsteps stumbled down the stairs she pred the basement window open and ran out. Straight for the woods in their backyard. Her heart swelled with every disobedient step she took. In the woods, she meets a strange boy who takes her back to his home. Where she learns a terrible secret about the world. Will she let her heart cloud her judgment? Will she be able to rally her courage and escape them? Will she want to? {this story is continuously being updated and revised. Any and all criticisms and ideas are more than welcome, just be nice :) }
