Chapter One: A Night Wished to Be Forgotten
"AHHHHHHHHH!!" My mothers' blood curtailing scream echoes throughout the walls of my home.
"No, please, don't hurt her! Oof!" My father, being held back, is given a jab in the gut from the hilt of a sword. I watch helplessly from my closet as my parents are murdered before my eyes. The two men, who invaded my home in the Water village, toss my father to the ground like a rag doll beside my mother.
"Please, no more. We'll give you whatever of you want. Just leaves alone!" My fathers' cries for mercy were not heard that night. The men just stared upon my parents with hideous, sinister looking grins. SSSHHHHIIINNG! the sound of a sword being on sheathed rang like a bell in my ears. I covered my ears in an attempt to drown out that horrible sound, but it was pointless.
The leader of the two stepped toward my parents, sword in hand. He gazed at them for what seemed like forever, before saying in a terrifyingly quiet and snake like voice, "You are only a stepping stone in my path to my final plan. Snickers your purpose to me is no longer required Kensei, my friend here is far more advanced than you. Good-bye."
"No! Lord-"the sound of steel cutting through flesh made me wish I didn't have ears. I sat in the closet and watched as my parents' blood splattered on the walls and floor. With each stab, the more I wanted to cry and scream, just to make this entire thing end.
My mother lay dead on the floor with the sword still embedded in her back as my father, bleeding from everywhere imaginable, tried to crawl to safety, but to no avail. The attacker walked casually up behind his limp body, and with one mighty swing, severed his head from his body. The room went eerily silent.
"Poor Kensei, you were a good ally, your time had just run out." The murder sickly licked the end of the blood coated sword before swallowing the entire thing. My foot bumped a crate inside the closet, which caught the attention of the attackers. I lay as still as possible, hoping to not be discovered.
I looked through the cracks in the closet to see the most terrifying site that will never leave my thoughts, the golden eyes of my parents' murderer. He looked inside and met my eyes, but did nothing. Could he not see me? Or was he merely fooling me? He reached to open the closet. My breath nearly stopped. I thought I was done for.
"MEOW!!" My cat came running out of the corner of the room, crossing in front of me and the attacker.
"Hmph pesky animals" said the attacker, "Were finished here, time to move on with my plan." The leader walked out my door and as the second man followed he turned to the closet, and in the moonlight, I could see the lenses of what appeared to be glasses. He smirked and walked off as well. I came out of the closet and walked over to the bodies on the floor.
I sat between my mother and father on the bloodied floor and took in a deep breath to scream…. "Hey kid!" I awoke.
