[18 Years Ago.]
[Amerisa: Blackwater neighborhood's marketplace.]
"Stop that girl! Catch her!!"
Three teenage boys chase after a young girl, their faces filled with rage.
"You brat!! Stop running!!"
"Yes! If we catch you!!"
"Stop!!"
The girl didn't stop. She continued running, and bumped into a family of three...
"Huh?" The young boy turned to the blue hair girl, a little confused.
She only spare him a glance, and continued running.
"You! Stop!"
The three boys also ran past the family, hot on her trail.
"Honey, shouldn't we try to stop them?" The mother of the boy asked, staring at the children.
"...Hmm..." The man stared at the chase for some seconds, and sighed:
"Maybe she stole something... We shouldn't get involve in every little thing."
"But..." The woman was about to disagree, but the man stopped her:
"No But... Honey, I know you're a good Christian, But it's not everyone we need to help... Come on, let's get you your drugs, and you're also pregnant, so you shouldn't stress yourself out." The man said.
The woman stared at the girl with a worried expression, and heaved a soft sighed:
"Come on, Micky-- Huh? Where's Micky?!" The woman's face instantly turned paled, she looked frantically around the market, and stores.
"That boy!! I hope he doesn't look for more trouble! AI, search for my son."
After some seconds, the man was stunned: "Come on, I know where he's going."
He held his wife's hand, and the two quickly walked away to find their son.

"Huff. Huff. Huff."
The bluehead girl entered an Alley, and after running some meters, she met a dead-end.
"Shit!" She cussed out loud.
"Finally caught you!"
"Nowhere to hide."
"Ha...! You'll pay for what you did."
The three boys smirked, taking purposeful steps towards her.
Whoosh!!
BAM!
"Ahhh!!"
"...."
"...."
The four were stunned.
The boys looked at their friend, seeing his head had suddenly swelled... They turned around only to see a boy Looking 5 to 6 years old, with inky black hair, and brown eyes... His gaze fixed on them, and in his hands were stones... Which he picked on the way.
"This? Who are you?!'' the first yelled in anger.
"Let her go, and I won't attack." The boy said, his tone firm.
"Huh?"
"We should let her go?! Do you know what she did?!!" Another yelled.
"I don't care what she did... But let her go."
The boy, he stoned sneered: "Who do you think you are? You baster--"
BAM!!!
Thud!
The two boys watched their friend as he fell to the ground, moment next he screamed in pain, holding his bloody nose, while rolling on the ground.
"...????"
The girl was confused, staring at the boy who looks younger than her with a frown.
"Who's next?" He asked, tossing another stone on his palm.
"You!!"
The boys looked at one another, and turned to the girl.
"You will pay, next time... Both of you."
The boy made way, and three boys rushed out from the alley... Leaving them alone.
"Who are you?" The girl asked, staring at the boy with a small frown.
"My name is Michael, But my Mum calls me Micky. What's yours?"
"I'm Jennifer."
Jennifer answered, and sat down on the ground, resting her back on the wall... While only catching her breath.
"Thanks by the way... You're pretty good with a stone." Jennifer said with a small smile.
Michael chuckled, scratching the back of his head, he stared at Jennifer for some seconds, and asked:
"Why were those boys chasing you?"
"Well..." Jennifer looked down, contemplating on how to start.
"Well... My family and I are new in Amerisa, we arrived last week."
"For a visit?"
"Nope, We were originally from Amerisa, but didn't live here. Now that we're back... Everything looks different, that's why I said we're new... The reason they Chase me? They were making fun of a girl named Kira, So I hit one with a stone, and ran away... My plan worked, they left the girl and Chase after me, if it hadn't been for this wall... I would have escape."
"Kira? Does she have long black hair, a little shy and short?" Michael asked in surprise.
"Yeah, do you know her?" Jennifer raised her head to him.
"We're classmates." Michael answered.
"Oh?" That was the only word Jennifer uttered, and an awkward silent fell on them.
"Hmm...."
Michael walked towards Jennifer, sitting some feet from her: "So you stoned him too?"
"Hmm..." Jennifer answered with a nod.
"Then we have something in common."
Jennifer turned to his side profile, and smiled slightly: "Indeed."
"Let's be friends."
He turned to her, and offered a handshake to seal the deal.
Jennifer looked at the hand, and his face... She thought for some seconds, and took his hand:
"Friends." She added, while Michael smiled.
"Micky!! Are you here!"
The two looked at the Alley entrance, seeing the husband and wife rushing inside... Seeing the girl, the two were momentarily stunned.
"Isn't she?"
"Mum, This is Jennifer... She's new to Amerisa." Michael introduced.
The woman walked towards Jennifer, and squat down before her:
"Hi, I'm Sofia... It's nice meeting you, Jennifer."
Jennifer stared at the family before her, and smiled: "It's nice meeting you too."

[To The Present.]
"What?!"
Jennifer staggered backwards in shock... As the images continued flashing in his head... Her memories.
"How are you doing this?!!" The voices yelled.
"*You might be the goddess of blood... But now you stand against the god of Psychic*"
Michael's voice sounded all over the place.
More images kept on flashing in her head, and the next moment:
"AHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!"
Jennifer let out a painful scream, and fell on her knees... Her fists clenched tightly, as sweat ran down her body.
Michael appeared three feet from the kneeling Jennifer, slowly observing her.
"Are you back, Jenni?" He asked in a low voice.
Jennifer looked up at him, with countless emotions, she stood up, and hugged him tightly:
"Thank you, Micky! Thank you!!" She said amidst sobs.
"Hey, Shush now... We're family, there's no need to apologize."
Jennifer slowly nodded, and separated from the hug, she looked around, and asked:
"Where are we?"
"Well... Come on, You still have to free everyone."
"Huh?" Jennifer turned to him in mild confusion.
"It is... Well... A short story." Micheal said in mild confusion, and snapped his fingers. The two instantly disappeared from the [Shadow World].
