Pearl’s POV:
“No! I tell you, woman, Pearl will come back to you no more! You mean. You bad influence. Why did we get divorce? Because you smoke. Because you abuse family. Pearl no come back! Good bye!”
My father finally hung up the phone, and I ran up to him and hugged him. “Good job for standing up for us,” I said.
“Arigatō,” my father said and hugged back.
My name is Pearl Kaze. As you can tell, my parents are divorced because my mom abused us. A lot. My mother is American, and my father is Japanese. Both my father and I know both languages, but while I’m fluent in both, my dad isn’t that good with English.
“Happy Birthday, Pearl,” my father told me. That’s right; it’s my 18th birthday today. I’ve always wanted to live on my own. Now that I’ve found a house, I can, though I am going to miss my father dearly.
“Arigatō, father,” I say. I then grab my bags and head for the front door, my dad right behind me so he could see me off. I then give him a kiss and tell him goodbye. He does the same and adds that I’m more than welcome to come back, and I hesitantly leave.
I enter my car and start it up. I then wave goodbye to my dad one last time, and I drive to the forest my home was supposed to be in. I drive for a while ‘till I get to a house in a clearing. I park and leave my car and walk over to it.
“Oh ho ho! You shall not take a step further, young lady!”
A giant robot fell from the sky in front of me…on its face. I giggle. Then the man controlling the robot pulled himself out, though he struggled to do so.
“Stupid…narrow…seat!” the man had said before he finally popped himself out.
“W-who are you?” I say nervously as he stood up. The man said nothing and grabbed me. “Hey!”
“You’re coming with me!” he said as he pressed a button, and a hovering sphere…thing appeared. He got on, taking me with him, and we were taken someplace else. I then noticed we were in the sky! I began to struggle and call for help.
“Hey now. Don’t be like that,” the man said, “I’ll take you to a magical place where you will serve me.”
“NO! LET ME GO!” I shout as I began to glow. Suddenly, a huge gust of wind blew behind me, knocking the man and I out of the hovercraft thing. As I fall down to Earth…I feel myself begin to change. Then I blacked out…
