Back to the Beginning (1x1 Paint and Britt)

[Paint The Wind]

He nodded and tucked it into his pocket. He hugged his brother and noticed Kiki. He said "What happened to you? Are you alright?"


Kiki stepped back nervously. "My home was burned down by raiders and they tortured all the villagers that didn't die…and I escaped three days ago. I haven't eaten since then…I've been lost looking for people…"

 

[Britt-21]

Lilly's eyes widen "Oh dear...Here, come with us." she said, helping her to the wagon "We're going to a place where its safe

 

[Paint The Wind]

She stumbled her way over and said "A-Are you alright with me coming?" She was so nervous and shy now.


Kanta stood weakly and leaned on a stick to help him walk. He went over and said "It's fine, Tokiya?"

 

[Britt-21]

Tokiya nodded "Its ok.." he said, getting in the wagon


Lilly spoke "Its fine, promise. We have lost a great woman with us today...im sure she would have loved to meet you"

 

[Paint The Wind]

"I-I'm sorry…" Kiki said. She limped alongside the wagon. Kanta looked at her and said "Get in the wagon, there is room." She nodded shyly and got in next to Tokiya.

 

[Britt-21]

Lilly sat in the wagon as well "Dont be..I'm lilly Thats Tokiya. The woman i told you about was his fiance.."

 

[Paint The Wind]

She looked at Tokiya and said "I'm so sorry…" She looked around nervously.

 

[Britt-21]

"Its ok..." he said, looking sad

 

[Paint The Wind]

She took his hand gently and said "I'm sure she was an amazing woman…"


Kanta glared at Kiki and said "You didn't even know her so don't talk about her."


Kiki whimpered and fell silent, putting her hands in her lap.

 

[Britt-21]

Lilly looked at Kanta "Kanta! be nice."


tokiya took the girl's hand again and just held it, needing some comfort at least.

 

[Paint The Wind]

Kanta sighed and said "I can't be nice! It's my fault my only brother's love is dead!" He was shaking with anger.


Kiki held his hand and squeezed it gently. She looked at him shyly and then looked back down.

 

[Britt-21]

Tokiya spoke "Kanta I said it wasnt your fault!"

 

[Paint The Wind]

Kanta turned to his brother and said "Yes it was! It was all my fault!"


Kiki stayed silent, too nervous and afraid of being yelled at to jump in. Besoidwsnot would have been ride of her.

 

[Britt-21]

Tokiya looked at him "She would have died if she didnt go!" he shook his head "Who knew they'd take her away from me...."

 

[Paint The Wind]

"I should have known!" Kanta said softly and then went silent and cried softly as he drove his tired little pony, who stopped and whinnied. He was exhausted.

 

[Britt-21]

Lilly got up "Kanta, rest..."

 

[Paint The Wind]

Kanta let the pony rest and set up a shelter for them. Kiki built a fire and then went away and laid down, not wanting to intrude onthem.

 

[Britt-21]

Lilly got the food


Tokiya looked at the girl

 

[Paint The Wind]

She curled up with her knees to her chest and cried softly. She had been through so much and was terrified. It had been three months since the torture had started. All of her family


Had died, she was the only one left.


Kanta sighed and said "Where are we even going?"

 

[Britt-21]

Lilly shrugged "Somewhere safe..."


Tokiya hugged the girl, burying his face into her shoulder "dont cry..."

 

[Paint The Wind]

He helped her cook the god and looked over at Tokiya, confused.


Kiki sniffled and hugged him back. "I watched as they killed eachid my sisters…my mother…my father…even my baby brother…"

 

[Britt-21]

"Thats horrible.." he said


Lilly looked over "He just needs to hug and talk with someone.."

 

[Paint The Wind]

Kanta nodded and began to eat.


"I can't get it out of my head…the sounds of their screams.…the images…" She hugged him tightly and wept.

 

[Britt-21]

Tokiya held her tighly "Come on, lets eat..." he said

 

[Paint The Wind]

She oddest and hugged him gently and the. Stood, tears still streaming down her cheeks.
