A Curse for the Cursed
Have you ever heard of the tale of the Chinese zodiac? You haven't?!?! Well where to begin…firstly
you do know what the Chinese zodiac is don't you? Well I'll refresh your memory anyway. The Chinese
zodiac is made up of 12 animals of myth but are your everyday animals these are:
The rat
The dog
The snake
The boar
The dragon
The monkey
The horse
The rabbit
The ox
The tiger
The ram
The rooster
Although in this tale there were 2 extras that nobody knows about the main one being the cat. Now
the cat is supposedly a foul creature that reeks of death itself. But you see the zodiac knew about the cat
and so shunned him. But the other one you ask? Well you will just have to read this tale to find out…
And hope you don't have nightmares
! Chapter One!
So this is where it begins…
The sound of running feet could be heard on this dark, cloudless night. The moonlight shone its
silvery rays on the sidewalk as a dark silhouette ran down the street. Their breath slightly jagged from the
run. Behind the figure another set of footsteps could be heard but were much heavier and clumsier than the
first. 'No, no I have to get away from him!!' thought the first figure as they tripped and slid across the
sidewalk into a beam of light. The Figure was hunched over on the sidewalk; legs slightly tangled together
as they attempted to get up, a veil of long, black hair fell around their shoulders and covered their face in
shadows. A slight gash could be seen on there thin, bare arms. The blood slowly dripped to the ground.
Drip, Drip
The footsteps could be heard getting closer now as a dark figure was seen as it rounded the
corner. There face cast in shadows it turned towards the figure on the ground a good few metres away.
'No!!! He can't I wont let him!!!' the figure thought attempting to get themselves up and away from there.
Drip, Drip
The man came closer taking, long, slow, painful strides towards the figure. "You can't get away
from me, no matter how many times you run little foxy…" Whispered the man in such a low voice you could
barely hear it but one thing that could be heard in it was the murderous killing intent, its want, no need for
blood. "Although I have to say I must thank you for running away because…" He slowly looked up as he
stepped into a beam of light unmasking an eye full of malice and hatred but most of all death… "Because
now I get to Kill you!!!!" and with that the man lunged for the figure.
Drip, Drip
The figure lifted back there arm to try and block the attack, but they knew that a person of their
size could not hold back a fully grown man, especially one that was full off such an intense killing intent. The
man let out a laugh that made him sound like a crazed maniac as he approached the poor hunched up
figure attempting to stop him. "You can't get away now!!! You will surely die tonight fox!!!" The man was
upon the figure when a cloud covered the moon taking away any existing light, covering everything in a vast
blanket of darkness.
Drip, Drip
Poof
As the cloud past over revealing the moon once again, and letting all light back onto the world, it
unveiled a mess of mass murder. The man lay twisted; his own eyes once full of malice and hatred now lay
on the floor next to him in a pile of gore and shredded mess. His arms were twisted in odd angles as were
his legs, his neck was turned twice in a clockwise 360 degree motion and his jaw hung limply open. Next to
him where the figure one was were human hand prints but they gradually turned into paw prints, the prints
being made with blood.
Drip, Drip
In the darkness of the shadows slipping away a figure could be made out, slim and curvy, a
bushy tail which was tipped in white and cold, cunning amber eyes which felt as if they were staring straight
through you were the last things that could be seen before they vanished into seemingly nothingness…
Drip, Drip
"Oh dear" stated a brown haired teenager as her and her two friends stopped at a yellow taping
sign which read 'Do not enter, crime scene investigators' "What do you think happened?" questioned the
brown haired girl "I don't know miss Honda but I feel we should not get involved" stated the silver haired
male. "Humph yeah right ya damn rat! Think ya know everything don't ya!" yelled the orange haired
teenager. "I know more than you do you stupid cat." The orange haired males eyebrow twitched with
annoyance "why I ougtta-" The male lunged for the silver haired male but was cut short when the brown
haired girl screamed, both male looked up in shock as they were dragged away from the scene. "Yuki, Kyo
come on where going to be late for school!" she yelled running down the street in an almost comical way,
dragging two terrorized males behind her. All of a sudden Kyo looked to his left "Hey Yuki?" whispered Kyo
"What is it you stupid cat?" Kyo chose to ignore that this once and carried on "Did you see that?" Kyo
stated looking off into an area surrounded by brush. Yuki nodded "What do you think it was?" questioned
Kyo. Yuki looked thoughtful "I don't know but whatever it was I get the feeling where going to find out
sooner or later whether we like it or not." stated Yuki, the two boys were brought out of their thoughts
when Tohru came to an abrupt stop. Yuki and Kyo looked up to see that they had arrived at their school
which was swarmed with other students, the trees swayed as a slight wind blew past chilling the three to
the bone. 'That wind.." thought Yuki "Felt so sad…' thought Tohru looking off into the direction it came form 'It
was as if it was calling for me, wanting me to comfort it.' Kyo thought looking puzzled. The three were pulled
out of their thoughts as the school bell rang. "Oh no were going to be late!" squealed Tohru as she
dragged the other two into the school with her by their collars. Little did they know that a pair of gold,
cunning eyes were staring them down 'Found you…' thought the being sinisterly.
