Crista

A month ago, when the mana surge started, Crista was having dinner with her family but then she felt something foreign even her body then pain...as if her bone were being broken and at the same time reconstructed itself.

Not just her, everyone seemed to be undergoing changes but only was feeling that much pain.

She could see the worry in her parents' eyes so she tries her best to control her scream but it was all for naught. She was starting to feel her consciousness slip away when her mom embraced her but what happened next made her eyes snap open in shock and fear.

After hugging her, her mom burst into whilst particles of light which were then absorbed into her glowing body.

Her heart was beating fast that she couldn't hear anything else. She wish for it to be a nightmare that she would soon wake up from but her dad's voice jolted her back to reality.

"Crista you..." in his eyes the love was replaced with fear and he started stepping back.

Crista was also scared, she still could not understand what happened to her mother but seeing her father walking away, the fear intensified and she found herself desperate to explain her situation.

"I didn't...I.." seeing the expression on her dad's face made her fumble, she felt terrible.

Her dad was running away from her and in fright, she ran after him but her speed was again too much for her to control and she ended up bumping into her dad who like her mom burst into light particles.

Her face turned pale and she kept chanting to herself that this was all a dream but they weren't coming back, they disappeared.

She pinched herself but that did not work and then she had the idea to kill herself maybe only would she wake from this terrible dream.

She ran to the kitchen and picked up the knife but she was too distracted to notice that the knife had begun disintegrating.

Quickly she tried to slit her wrist but the knife just went through her like it there was nothing and the next moment it but into light particles.

Crista staggered and she felt the whole world spinning, alas she couldn't faint, she was full of energy and felt like she could run for days.

Her fear continued to intensify and her heart hammered inside her chest. With every heartbeat, she kept glowing, and everything around her was enveloped in white light before bursting into particles and these particles were sucked in by her, again giving her unimaginable energy.

"Help!!" she yelled. "Please anyone, help me!"

Crista was originally a girl with a weak heart, she was scared of almost everything, so with everything that was happening, she was in denial.

Despite her loud screams, no one came but she kept waiting. She couldn't sleep and her home was falling apart literally.

She had no idea what was wrong with her and didn't even want to find out, she just wanted her parents back but they were not coming back.

She was feeling impatient and decided to go look for help and she did not even notice that she had long become naked. Nothing that came in contact with her glow lasted.

The neighborhood was in turmoil and many were going crazy. Crista tried to search for someone that at least looked normal and she eventually found a man who was offering help to other people.

Her hope was rekindled and she quickly ran to the man. "Help sir...my parent...they"

She stopped when the saw the man staring at her chest and only then did she notice she was naked but there was no time to feel embarrassed, she had to save her parents somehow.

After being caught the man cleared his throat and said. "Lead the way"

Crista then quickly lead the man to her home while keeping a good distance. She did not want him to also disappear by mistake.

The house was still standing fortunately and Crista led the man inside. He searched the entire place but couldn't find anyone. "There's no one here"

"They disappeared" Crista explained but the man wore an angry expression thinking he had been played.

"Did you read the surrounding, and you have the mind to play pranks at a time like this?"

"No..I.." Cristat stuttered as the memory of what happened was still making her mentally unstable.

The man was furious but the fury quickly dissipated to be replaced by a lewd expression. "Maybe a little lesson will help you access the situation better"

After hearing what he said, Crista again was afraid. "Don't come near me!!"

The man smirked and paid her no heed but the moment he held her glowing arm he burst into light particles as well.

Crista was mentally stressed, she still could not comprehend what was going on. On a normal day, she would faint from a little shock but now she wasn't even feeling lightheaded and was only nauseous.

Reality started forming in her eyes. She had killed her parents herself, she was a murderer.

As the thought echoed in her mind she found herself hyperventilating.

'Run' she had to run, if not more people would just die but where could she even go?

She took many deep breaths to calm her glow but her body wasn't listening to her. In her state, she couldn't hold anything and clothes wouldn't stay on her.

Gathering the shattered piece of her mind and heart she walked out of the house. If there was any place she could hide for the time being it was at the park.

She kept walking and when she finally got to the park it was unrecognizable. The place had become a thick forest but she couldn't turn back now so with a good she walked in.

There were many mutated plants and animals that tried to attack her but the same fate would just happen to them.

She continued deeper and then forced herself to rest and by fortune, she was able to fall asleep even if it was for a short while.

She had nightmares that forced her awake thirty minutes later and the truth of her situation once again dawned on her making her burst into tears.

Every wail released a white light that disintegrated all it touched but after a certain amount of time has passed the forest would fix itself.

She felt like a curse had been placed on her, she couldn't get tired to fall asleep and she was still glowing. Slowly she started coming to terms with the reality of her fate and stopped crying but her eyes were devoid of life.

She couldn't even kill herself if she wanted to, what a cruel fate had befallen her but she had to try to live with it.
