inside of us

perhaps we don't realize until much later, until I feel the crimson drops of blood leaking between my battle-sharpened claws. until i hear those screams of pure pain, suffering and agony even when they're not there. –Challenge for MuffinClan–

Inside of Us

The voices… A thousand of them echo inside my head, jolting me like a bolt of lightning, cutting me like shards of ice. I run. I dash through the forest, through the dark trees in the pitch-black night, shutting my eyes and praying my paws would take me somewhere those voices wouldn't reach. But I can't escape them.

I know I shouldn't do what I did. I know it's wrong. I know… But with those voices controlling me, I don't have a choice.

There are demons, ghouls, monsters controlling us from within ourselves. Perhaps we don't realize until much later, until the consequences are so drastic, so horrific, so incredibly terrible and unpreventable. Until I feel the crimson drops of blood leaking between my battle-sharpened claws. Until I hear those screams of pure pain, suffering and agony even when they're not there.

The silent but deadly monsters, they are real. They are strong. And they are inside of all of us.
