The blistering heat pricked at me.  It sent agonizing heat waves through my stone-cold body -the pain so extreme I felt as if I were being charred alive.

"Eui...Eui, listen to me sweetheart..." A beautiful woman shook me, pleading for me to give attention.

That woman...the one with brown hair as soft as silk and eyes like melting chocolate...she looked so upset, so terrified and frightened.  Still, she was beautiful, mesmerizing even.

"Seung Hyun, she can't...she needs you...she won't be able to..."

My hearing faltered and the ringing in my ears wouldn't stop; I think partially because a gooey substance was oozing out of the sides of my head.  Everything was becoming dim and fuzzy, I was beginning to lose my vision...

From wherever I was laying -or standing- I barely made out flames that ate away at the building, which looked so oddly familiar.  The only other being I could see besides that goddess-like-woman was that man, her equivalent, the god.

So sharp and handsome that man...he had jet-black hair and equally as dark eyes.  Those two completed each other, like two halves of a whole....But that man...he seemed troubled.  When he spoke, the look on his face was of aguish and torture. 

"-can't leave you, Min Ah...in this because of me-"

That damn ringing, it wouldn't stop!

Then it happened. The flash in the room and the incomprehensible stinging in my eyes.  Off in the distance a baby wailed -NO, that isn't correct, it SHRIEKED and SCREAMED- in complete agony because it knew...

The pain stopped and the couple filled my vision, but the baby continued to cry.

"Shhh, shh," the woman soothed, "It's okay now, Eui.  You're alright."  The man added, "We love you so much baby, just remember that...forever and always."

They shared a chaste kiss.  To my horror, they were both engulfed in flames and burned right before my eyes...turning to stone...and finally into nothing but dust and ash-

-I flew awake, falling out of that gruesome nightmare.  The pain inside my chest was so full, so extreme, yet the same.

Everyday, for as long as I can remember I've had that re-occuring nightmare.  Only, it wasn't a nightmare, it was reality -my reality.

. . . That woman was my mother...that man my father...the baby my self....Now, I'm just another orphan; living with a person my parents felt could be trusted.

My name is Eui.  I am 16-years-old.  Black Haired, amber eyed. 5' 6".  Most interesting fact about me?  My parents were murdered right before me for reasons I am unaware of -but they didn't die like the average human . . they were different.  My greatest fear?  I might be next.
