1 1. The happening(prologue )

Black...cold- the first words that came to mind to Li Mei after being stabbed. It wasn't a intended murder, she was merely a person passing by that got mixed in the criminals attempt of escaping from the law.

"Ah... so this is the end" she thought. She was really enraged that moment. Not at the criminal, but at herself. For not living a life witch she could be proud of, for not achieving her dream of... well she didn't really have any dreams. That was also one of the things she regretted deeply . " If there was another chance I would live my life to the fullest" she said to herself "magic would be pretty cool". Indulging herself in the darkness as a sign she was giving up her pathetic life, she closed her eyes.

A comforting and somewhat warm silence was around her. She felt as if nothing concerns her anymore, that she was free from worries and stress. The next moment there was a flash of light and before she noticed she was already crying. After somehow managing to stop her dread-full cries, she opened her eyes. 'Where am I? Didn't I die?'. All these questions rushed through her mind while trying to assess the situation she was in. Her limbs were hard to move and the only things she was currently able of doing were crying ant staring silently. The helplessness was killing her.

A woman was looking down at her with loving eyes. As is the thing she was holding was her most prized possession, the love of her life. Her smile was beaming and as she pushed her warp golden hair off of her face that was noticeably tired, she sighed in happiness and relief.Unable to process who this woman was Li Mei felt closeness to her.

Still connecting the dots an idea suddenly came to her mind. "Was I reincarnated?". As she was quite a big fan of novels in her life she took a wild guess, wishing her fantasies were true, but as time went by and the idea of being reborn settled in her mind, she became quite scared. Being an orphan and not really accomplishing anything, she didn't have any ties with her previous life. But her fate in this life could be even worse. This whole concept was bizarre to begin with. Although the tiny gleam of hope that she might finally have parents, made this situation better.

A loud "BAM" interrupted her thought. People were screaming all around her, but one voice stood out. "Where is she?" " Where did you hide that filthy kid". No one answered. Two minutes later all the screams stoped. You couldn't hear a living thing. Slow footsteps approached the girl. The man lifted her in his blood stained arms and two obsidian like eyes stared at her with killing intent. She stared back as if she knew him for her whole life. His silver blue hair was covering his cold eyes, while his sharp jaw was splashed with blood. He was definitely a man ladies would fall for. Although his eyes were cold as ice, of a person who killed countless people without remorse, she couldn't help but want something from him. She wasn't scared, on the contrary she wanted his protection, his attention and his love. The kind of love she would feel towards someone who she could trust the most. Somebody like her family or.... her father. Yes, a father, that's what he was. This instinct telling her to rely on him was very deep.

As a merciless killer he was, he came here with one goal in mind. A lot of women wanted to take advantage of him and give birth to his child, so this was not the first time he was dealing with stuff like this. But something was different, something in his heart told him he shouldn't. Seeing the unwavering stare of the baby in his hands, he wanted to keep her. He wanted see other expressions she could make. How would the small creature in his hand react after he knew the truth about him and his past. " Acelina" he declared. After gently placing her back, he left the room.

After the man left, the room became silent again. Loosing all her energy , with her newly given name, Acelina fell asleep.
