Hi! I'm writing this, and I intended to finish it! So…. Hold on tight, it's going to be a bumpy ride!
Kana's POV
When I was born, I had golden blonde hair, bright green eyes, and was a normal baby. I smiled at the funny faces my parents made, laughed when I was happy, and cried when I was hungry or had a bad diaper. If there was one thing that made my parents concerned it would've been the fact that as I was born, I didn't cry or scream. In fact, they thought I was dead at first. Until, I opened my eyes that was.
As I got older, I realized the world I lived in was dangerous, ghouls. That's what they called them the man-eating things that were always on the news in the morning. Although, mom always made sure to cut it off while we ate breakfast. I noticed as I grew my hair got lighter, skin paler, eyes brighter, until they were an almost bright yellow color. When I hit 2nd grade and lost my baby teeth my canines grew sharp almost like a vampire. My parents didn't know what to think, they took me to my pediatrician. They said there was nothing wrong I was still human. Just different.
They said it's a genetic mutation, my teeth, as they tried to "fix" them. Ended up breaking one of their expensive dental tools. We didn't try again after that. I also had to be very careful because they all said my teeth would grow with me and to try and eat thicker foods like steak, fish, and other meats. While that all happened, life goes on. I realized kids are mean I got picked on because I looked different, not human. It didn't help that the whites of my eyes started to darken, nails darkened, and even the inside of my mouth and lips were naturally darkening to a deep blueish black. I looked like a monster, so the people around me started treating me like one. Every day I came home crying, finally my mom and doctors thought it was best to pull me out of school. When I was 14 my doctor finally found out I had a rare blood condition. That was usually transferred by a spider and most people didn't have the immune system to block it.
Said they were surprised that I was still breathing. My body apparently accepted the poison as its own hence the teeth. They said my body was almost done and if they predicted right, I shouldn't be able to eat anything but raw meat by my next birthday. I asked why they said since the venom is my own it would act like a snakes or spiders when they eat. The venom would go through my teeth looking for living prey and inject it anyway. The doctor also said that because of this anything cooked or to thin would only disintegrate into mush in my mouth and provide no nutrients.
When my 15th birthday came around the doctor was right I couldn't eat anything. Although, it all turned to mush and ash in my mouth raw steak had become my new best friend. As I turned 19, I always went out with a surgical mask and sunglasses. Which was almost normal in Japan during the summer, not so much during the winter. I had never seen someone else wearing sunglasses in the winter, until I wondered into a quiet little coffee shop and saw him.
Hey, hope you guys enjoyed the first chapter!
