Some of our Choices have consequences, some do not. In this case, like Death, you just don't have a choice. Not if you want to live... Anna is a prisoner in the Asakura home, her fate uncertain. The heir of the household is drawn to her, and seems to have a connection with her and he starts to question what he was taught, and what he believes in...

"You don't get to chose how your going to die or when. You can decide on how your going to live now." - Joan Baez

It was late, the sky pitch black, not even the moon was shinning. A gently wind blew, rustling leaves in the trees, an occasional patter of paws along the paths that were near the only place that provided light in this darkness. A place that looked like a mansion, but was a prison in disguise. Underneath was a dungeon with prisoners that deserved to be there…or did they?

"Why am I here? I'm not a monster! I'm not what you think I am!" A girl shouted.

"Shut up, that's for our Master to decide." A guard hissed, opening the cell.

"Please, I'm not! I can't even see those things!" she sobbed.

"Liar," another Guard said coldly. "Witnesses say they heard you talking about summoning the Forbidden-"

"But I do not even have a Rosary, I can't-"

"Enough." the girls shouts slowly disappeared as the two dragged her from her cell and down the hall. They stopped as soon as the door slammed shut. She was never seen again.

Death comes to those who summon the Forbidden. That's why no one becomes what is Hated. It's a decision to be one of Them, and doing so is choosing Death. What you do not understand you Fear. What you Fear you do not understand. They know this, They understand it so they do not Fear it. They are the Few, the Hated, the Feared.

The Itako.
