[Prologue: A Story's Continuation]

A girl with short blue hair and dark blue eyes ran towards the door leading to her classroom because she was late. “I’m late!” she muttered as she ran.
As she was running, her short blue hair flew along with the cold wind. Her dark blue eyes looked around to look for the classroom she is looking for.
In the classroom...
“Okay, class…” The teacher started to explain a lesson, but he got interrupted by theblue-haired girl running towards him, but she tripped over something. As she tripped, the whole class laughed loudly.
“Quiet, class!” The teacher scolded. Then he turned to the girl and said, “Miss Renna, you are late. So, what will you say?”
Renna bowed down and said, “Good morning teacher, Good morning classmates…”
Then straightened up her body and continued, “I’m sorry I’m late.”
The teacher nodded and said, “Okay. Now,” Then he pointed to her chair which is in the second row. “Please sit down.”
“Thank you, teacher.” Renna replied as she started to walk towards her seat and started to sit down. The teacher looked around to check if there are any more empty seats. There were none. Then he looked at the students. There was Renna seating on the second chair that is on the second row. On the first chair is Marisa, who was in the snowball fight that happened three years ago.
‘A lot of familiar faces…’ The teacher tought. ‘And it has been three years since they were in this school…’
And on the third, fourth, and fifth are the three former bullies, Lyle, Colin and Guinness. But these three didn’t bully anymore, because a classmate named Ritz threatened to pound them if they did. And not just that,
Renna was glad to hear that, because she is one of the bullies’ victims, but sometimes she doesn’t mind the bullying.
The teacher sighed. “Well, then, shall we continue?”
[hr]
Renna walked alone along the school hallways, looking around at her surroundings. She could only see lockers and doors, but suddenly she saw a familiar face… It was a stuffed animal with a pompom on its head…
What is that?
Suddenly, the stuffed animal disappeared.
“Strange…” Renna muttered and kept walking, but she was bothered by what she saw earlier. But then another vision caught her eyes: it was a bunny-like woman…
Who is she?
But then she also disappeared.
Renna then looked more of her surroundings. It seems that the visions have gone, and all she could see are lockers and students locking and opening them up. She walked towards her locker and checked it. Then she heard a soft voice.
“The book is gone.”
She turned to her left to see who it was. It was Mewt. Renna asked, “What did you say?”
“There is a book in here,” Mewt replied. “And it’s gone.”
“You mean that book that looks like some ancient thing?”
Mewt only nodded.
Renna turned away from him. “Maybe that missing book you’re talking about has something to do with the stuffed animal and that bunny woman I saw…”
‘Stuffed animal? Bunny woman?’ Mewt thought to himself.
But then Renna realized something.
“Oh, yeah…” Renna realized. “I-I've got to go!”
Then she turned to Mewt and bid goodbye. “Bye!” And as she did, Mewt also did so and walked away.
As Mewt was gone from her sight, she took a step forward, but as she did, tiles that make up the school’s floor turned into grass and soil.
“What?”
As she took steps forward, tiles became grass and soil. And as she stopped, she looked behind only to see horrific images and high, cold laughter.
The laughter make her ears ring out. “AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!” she screamed. She can’t stand it.
“AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!” she screamed even louder and longer, and then…
She fainted.
And yet, as she was already unconscious, a figure bent low over her, shaking her.
“Renna?!”

Author's Notes: This fic is long... 10 parts! (16 if you count the endings). And parts, not chapters. PARTS. Also, quick note: the “route” thing was scrapped, so no more routes! Yey!
P.S. I just realized that the “route” thingies were a good idea … so yeah. Those are back. And here, final words: 5 Routes. Also, I changed a bit of Renna's appearance... sorry.

I woke up.
And it was just the ‘just a dream’ cliché. But this place seems strange … is this a mausoleum? I think so, since there were tombstones surrounding me.
But still, what?
Shrugging, I walked out of the mausoleum. It was a beautiful view, the sun setting. Then I saw a familiar face. It was Guinness, one of my classmates. He, along with Lyle and Colin, bullied me when we were 12. Now at 15, not anymore. We were friends now.
“Hey, sleepyhead. You got here just in time, I don’t think your food will be cold yet.” He said.
“Good morning, Guinness.” I sat up and thank him for the food. Today’s “specialty”: Red bean buns, my favorite. And of course, water.
But wait. I mean, look at me. Where did I get these clothes? Why do I have bunny ears? My skin turned slightly tanner, but why? Why are we here outside a mausoleum? Whose mausoleum is that? And wait, aren’t these three supposed to be in their homes?
Strange …
[hr]
In the school fabricating that should be left, the sound of strides reverberated.
The wooden floor made no obnoxious, squeaking commotions.
It has turned out to be totally the opposite of dull outside.
There was no sound of water gradually dribbling from a tap some place could be heard.
And in addition there were no windows rattling.
Three years have passed, and it’s still snowing in St. Ivalice.
This was a story’s continuation, a curtain that can’t be closed…
