And another thing: Even though this is not anime, Akira looks like Marron Glace from Sorcerer Hunters.

Chapter One

I Dreamed of Myself

Running.

Forever running.

The steel hallways seemed endless to Lachesis. Her shoulder length white hair flew wildly in her face and she brushed the strands back.

And she was still running.

She had no idea why she was running. It just seemed like it was the best idea.

Then she came to a dead end. Lachesis felt a scream rise from her throat but no sound came out. She couldn't turn around.

Because if she knew what would be there.

Who would be here.

A click of a gun was heard and, with panic and anxiety kicking in, Lachesis turned around.

And faced herself.

But it wasn't exactly her. She looked older and her eyes weren't a soft blue. They were pure black. The copy of her raised the gun in front of Lachesis face.

And then she said those words.

Those words Lachesis knew by heart now.

"I am Lachesis Stashia."

And then, the trigger went off.

Lachesis woke up, sweating blood. Her best friend Nagi turned on the lights.

Nagi looked at her concerned. "Are you okay, Lach? Is it that nightmare again?"

"Yeah…yeah…" The white-haired girl reminded herself that it was all a dream and she was at a sleepover at Nagi's.

Nagi went over to her bookshelf and pulled out a black notebook when a silver crescent moon engraved on it. She quickly wrote something in it and glanced at the moon. It was barely full.

Lach raised an eyebrow, half understanding what Nagi was doing. Her friend was a sort of witch but didn't follow the Wiccan religion fully. Nagi's parent's were fully Wiccan though.

Nagi closed the book and flopped on her bed. "Maybe…it's your powers acting up again?"

Lachesis had psychic/telekinesis powers that awoke every now and then, subconsciously. "Maybe. I've had this dream for a week now. I don't know what it means."

"Suicide?"

The white-haired girl gave her best friend a yeah-right look.

Nagi just grinned innocently back.

Laughter escaped from Lachesis. Nagi Yoshina could look so pure and gentle some times, and that was rare. Her best friend looked and dressed gothic to the boot. Her dark brown hair was dyed black and streaked blue. She usually wore black and silver. The only thing that seemed normal about her was her eyes: crystalline blue. Most parents wanted their children away from her, thinking that she was trouble. However, when Lachesis asked Nagi why she dressed, she just replied: I like black.

"Lets just go back to sleep," Lachesis said. "I'm too tired to think."

"Alright, o' mighty one." Nagi nearly flew into her sleeping bag and was soon snoring away.

Lachesis rolled her eyes. "Oyasuminasai."
