Towa- no- hoshi
Someone once said "Towa-no-hoshi." This means eternity in the stars. A phrase that would change my life forever…
It was about ten years ago when I was six years old, I remember that night as if it were only yesterday. My mother and father took me on a night walk; I didn't know what was going on. The three of us were stood on the top of mount Huknoo which our village was built upon. Mother and father knelt beside me and spoke unbelievable words. I would never forget what they said. They told me about the truth, the truth about everything. Everything I once knew was a lie. That was the night I witnessed my parents slaughtered before my eyes. My mother's last words she spoke drowning in her own sweet red blood.
Towa-no-hoshi…
(The present day)
There was a crashed and a bang. Suddenly a cat-like human scampered away from a restaurant's dustbins, with half a chicken leg hanging from her mouth. "Get out of here you filthy street scum!" came the angry voice of the owner. He was throwing paper bags and other garbage at me. OH yeh that filthy street scum is me. I suppose I should start to explain how I became a homeless thieving mutant. Nah it takes too long. I'm pretty sure you will find out sooner or later.
I sat on the roof of some random house leaning against the chimney. My long black tale flicked this way and that as I gnawing on the bare chicken bone. Some pigeons flew over head. 'So tempting, well who'll miss one pigeon?' I thought as my finger nails extended like cat claws. I ran and jumped… yes I got one! I landed on the opposite house with a dead pigeon limply hanging from my mouth. Sweet warm blood filled my mouth, oozed down my chin and dripped on the roof tiles. What am I doing? I should spit it out, but … the blood tastes so sweet, so nice rinsing through my mouth. The sweetness of the warm blood filled my mouth. This poor creature has done nothing to me, well… too good to waste. The sensation of blood flowing down my throat. Redness washed over my vision, my head thumped. My vision now pulsed. I had a lust for blood I want more. I just need to keep control. Just don't lose control. But the blood, I want it. "NOOO" I yelled loudly. I came to my senses. Lights flicked on as another flock of birds flew over head. I need to get away from here… and quickly.
