Mystic Land Chapter One

"Take that, bitch!" Tenshin cackled, leaving Lollita to eat dirt. She staggered to to feet, with a blank look on her face. She could hear others talking about her. It was brutal. "Is that her? The heir to the village? The witch girl?" The villagers whispered and ranted, not bothering to help her out or lend her a hand. She let out a hopeless sigh. "We should exile witches like her." A girl with a beautiful dress offered. "Yeah, she'll probably curse the village! Or even cause a massacre!" Another villager agreed. "I wouldn't do that!" Lollita gasped at the thought. "That's why we should sacrifice her to lord Kamiku!" The girl exclaimed, drowning her out. Lollita couldn't take anymore. She clentched her fists. "I AM A NORMAL HUMAN BEING! I HAVE A NAME, AND IT ISN'T 'TERRIBLE WITCH'! IT'S LOLLITA KIWAKO!" She snapped back at the top of her lungs, scaring off most the crowd.

Lollita is the Kiwako Village's heir. The village was named after after her family, who found the nestlement and built the village. When Lollita's mother gave birth to her, she was named the newfound heir. Recently there was a dreadful massacre. Her parents were suspected. Eventually it was declared the were innocent, but it had to be someone in the Kiwako family. The location of the massacre had locked windows and doors, not to mention the windows were unharmed. With the village's naturally strong beliefs in witchcraft and anything spiritual, they believed it was a witch. As soon as they heard about Lollita, she was suspected. Ever since she had been marked as the 'murderous witch'.

"Sh-she's...she's a terrible witch! She caused the murder of those innocent people! Death to the witch!" The girl stuttered and shrieked as she ran off. In furiousity, Lollita shook her fists, punching a tree until she bled. She dropped to her knees, sobbing. Not because of her bleeding fist, but because everyone in the village hated her. That was the worst pain.

"I'll see you later, grandma! Grandpa!" Lollita cheered, heading to school. The day went by fast. It was soon time to go home. But, she never rode the buss because it didn't take the route she lived in. Because the 'witch' lived there. Incidently, THAT group lives on the same route.

"Well, if it isn't the witch." Souta mocked. "Hehe, she's alone as usual." Terru teased. "That's because nobody likes witches!" Tenshin laughed. Lollita glared at him furiously, then turned back jogging. "Come on, pal. Wait for us! We're your friends, right?" Terru begged sarcastically. "Yeah. We're good friends..." Tenshin joined in. Lollita turned to them completly, unable to control her hot-temper. "WE'RE NOT FRIENDS!" she shouted at the top of her lungs. She didn't care enough to look back, until she thought they were far away. "-That would be a waste of time." Another boy said as her passed by her.

"C'mon guys, let's go." Tenshin urged, as they too, passed her. 'How could they just leave me to yell at the wind?' Lollita asked herself as she headed home, not aware of what hell she'd be dealing with later.
