"Come, child. It's time to go"
I don't want to go...
"It is no longer safe here. You need to come with me."
But the Shrine...it's collapsing. My parents are still in there!
"Echo." It came out as a sigh, "You are smart for your age. I need you to listen. Some things we don't have to power to stop. We can only move on and try to keep something similar from happening."
I have to try. I can't leave them there! You just don't care! You're just like all the others! Pretending to care to look good! If you really cared you'd help me save them!
"Child. Come." There was anger now. A forcefulness in the voice.
I can't... I don't know how to live without them. If they die... I should die with them...
"I knew your parents once," The voice continued, "When we were young, they were my friends. I promise to take care of you, for that is what they would have wanted."
I don't want you to take care of me! I want my parents!
"Perhaps if I explain you will be more willing to listen to reason. You see, many fear your kind, child. You are seen as the harbingers of death. Humans fear their impending deaths. They do all they can to postpone it. You are lucky to be alive now, child. They would not hesitate to kill you as well, if they thought it meant keeping themselves alive longer."
We were never going to hurt them... We just wanted to live here in peace.
"Do you understand now? You cannot stay here and your parents can't be saved, but maybe someday you can stop this from happening again. If you really want to help, then work hard. Make something of yourself."
...fine. Ok...I'll go... But my parents...I want to make them proud. I'll do anything to make them proud...
"You are going to need to learn to forgive these humans. If not for them, then for yourself."
No, I will not forgive them for this. They do not deserve it. And...even if somehow I do forgive them... If I ever find another human that is going to do this I will not hesitate to kill them...
The other laughed, "I would expect no less."
A/N: Ok, so this is a Rewrite of this story cause I wanted to do something else with it. I'm pretty slow updater, but I will try to get chapters up as fast as I can.
