Past sins

...If things just don't go right and you snap,you lose all moral,and simply ignore your better judgments screaming in your ears...how far do you go? If everything of your past life were to ever be X-ed out in blood,what action do you take? Here you find yourself with a solution,holding this supposed solution that will make things better. A solution to make the tables even. All it takes is one pull...could you do it? Could you ever pull that trigger?

How foolish to think that things stay the same.

"Hey no peeking!" Giggles my friend Star.

She was a small medium brown cat,with a light brown muzzle,and nice black shoulder length hair. That day,she was wearing a red t-shirt and simple light blue denim shorts. We were both at the age of ten. She had the most imaginative cheerful mind. I was Shade,Shade the ferret. I'm a light gray color,with a white muzzle,and black short hair,with black around my eyes as if I were always wearing a mask. A young ignorant boy,that's all I was.

We were in my backyard,under the tree with the tree house. We had planned to make the day 'best friend's day',and she was giving her gift to me. I wanted to see it already,but she insisted that I keep my eyes closed with my hand stretched out. When she put her gift in my hand and gently closed my fingers with her much smaller delicate ones,I opened my eyes and brought my clutched fist to me. I open it to see a bracelet that was made from string and some random beads,along with a few small items like seashells with a hole to be made into a bead.

"You like it?" She asks smiling,waiting for my response.

Playing with her,I simply look down at it with a fake frown and say "Messy..that's all it is."

Which it really was when I come to think of it,but…it was the good kind of messy.

"W-what?" She asks with a shocked expression.

"Very messy." I sigh.

But she simply huffed while crossing her arms and turned her back to me. I was about to speak,when I saw that her shoulders were shuddering.

'Whoops.'

I walk up to her and say "Hey,I didn't mean it. I'm sorry,look I'm even wearing it!" I say while putting the bracelet on my wrist. "Please don't cry!"

When she finally turned around to look at me,I saw that she was snickering with a smirk. "I know. You never mean it,just like the last time."

'Oh snap…I just got out played.'

"Hm! Well here's yours." I say while handing her big a white flower. Well really it was kinda small,but in her tiny hands,it looked pretty big.

I knew what she really wanted,and it wasn't a silly white flower I found. No,she had always wanted her ears pierced,twice on each ear. She also wanted for her bangs to be dyed bright red,but her parents didn't approve of that nature. In her house it was seen as unclean and not at all holy.

"Thank you Shade." She says while putting it in her hair. "It's much nicer than that can of springy snakes."

I smirked at that silly memory. We spent the rest of our time running around my backyard laughing and playing tag,or hide and seek,or both. Sometimes one of us would cheat and go across the wooden fence that separated our yards from one another. But I didn't mind much going into her yard. Her yard had a pool we sometimes swam in,a swing set,and a trampoline. I liked that trampoline,that trampoline is how we meet.

When my parents and I had moved away under such short notice due to some new laws,we found a house here. Me being new to the place,and homeschooled,I didn't know anyone. That was until I was just on my swing set just bored,I saw this cat girl jumping up and down on the other side of the wooden fence. She was just giggling while she'd jump up,but would stop when she'd go down. I found that quite silly of her. When she noticed me she smiled more. I found that weird,since most other kids were always scared of my appearance,they would always assume I had a dark nature. But this one actually seemed happy to see me. We ended up talking and getting to know each other better by talking through a hole in the fence. Then we got our parents to meet and ever since then,we've been best friends.

The day was getting cold and late,so we said our goodbyes and went to our own homes. I was just in the kitchen snacking on an apple while my dad was busy on the laptop. Mom was already in bed.

I had a pretty interesting family. My dad seemed to have no family to call his own besides us,and my mom came from a lab. Dad was pure black,with short black hair,and dark gray eyes. Mom was pure white with white shoulder length hair and red eyes,she was what others called albino. She had to wear sunglasses before stepping out the door,otherwise her eyes would be irritated by the sunlight. You see,my mom being albino and all was considered 'special' in the lab business. So of course she was the one picked as the first mobian lab rat. No really,she was a lab rat,or lab ferret that is. She met my dad when she tried to escape,but failed. So dad helped break her out,then they found a new life somewhere else,then I came along. They're the only family I knew. Due to mom being a former lab rat and undergoing many experiments,some…uncommon abilities were passed down to me. That's why we left. The city we used to live in made a new law that all creatures with any form of superhuman abilities were to be given a vaccine that took their powers away. Dad didn't see it fair,neither did mom,considering she had gained a few abilities herself. She could levitate in midair,and speak through people's minds just by physical contact. Me,I can also levitate,along with splitting my cell particles,which allows me to go through objects,and a much newer ability that's almost like a hypnosis.

I to this day don't know what exactly my dad was working on with the laptop,but it must have been important. He had been unable to take much of a break that week. The kitchen was attached to the living room he was working in,so I was able to see him with a glance of my eye. Just as I was about to head to my room while tossing away the apple core,there was loud banging at the front door. Like the little weakling I was,I hid under the table. The knocking only got louder and more furious,the person on the other side sounded angered and impatient. I slightly peek my head over to the living room doorway to try to see who it was at such a late hour. My dad opened the door in a furious manner to reveal three tall dark figures. I…can't seem to remember much of what they looked like exactly,but I could tell they were perhaps weasels with bright glowing yellow eyes. Dad didn't let them in.

"What are you doing here?!" He says in a quiet stern voice with his fist clenched.

"You know exactly why we're here!" One of the weasels harshly say back.

"I said next week! Next week I'll have your money! Now go,before you make a scene." Dad says while trying to close the door,only to be stopped by one of the weasel's foot.

"Hm! Scene? You ain't SEEN nothin yet!" One of them yells while slamming the door open.

Dad hurriedly got up to his feet in a fighting stance,his claws and teeth bared and ready to strike..I had never seen him do that before.

In just a matter of seconds they all lunged at him. None showing any mercy,I ducked back into the kitchen and leaped back under the table. I was terrified,weak,and spineless. I just sat there,shuddering while hugging my knees. That's when I heard the most ugly noise I never dreamed of hearing. It was a gunshot,I poked my head out from under the table only to see dad being flung into the kitchen. He was holding his wounded knee,now covered in blood. I could hear the footsteps in the living room reaching the kitchen. As the footsteps got closer and closer,I saw my dad shakily stagger back up to his feet.

"…G-get…out.." He roughly says. "…N-now!"

But they didn't listen,I heard laughter as their response. Just then,mom came dashing into the kitchen. "What on earth!?" She yells.

"Leave!" My dad yells to her.

She glanced at the table and saw me hiding under it. She immediately leaped under the table with me. That's when more gunshots were fired. Closing my eyes,I hear "Nooooo!" Then a loud thud.

I tried to look at what happened but mom quickly held me close to her.

'No...d-don't look sweetie.' Her shattered voice says in my head.

I knew it was dad,but each time I tried to turn my face away from mom,she only held on tighter,burying my face close to her. Not wanting me to see what happened,but I knew. I knew it wasn't good…judging by her whimpers. Suddenly the table was tipped over sideways by a series of loud bangs. They had shot away at the table legs. We were now fully exposed to open fire.

"Hm! Well look at this,looks like we missed a few." Says one of the weasels while walking closer.

I looked up and saw him getting closer to us with a sinister smirk.

"Hmm,how much do you think she's worth?" The other asks. "She may be able to work us our pay."

Mom held on tighter to me,shuddering.

"Perhaps the boy will be of use as well." Says the other,while police sirens could be heard in the background.

That's when my mom leaped up to her feet,shoving me behind her. "Damn you!" She yells,that was the first time I'd ever heard her use harsh language like that. "You won't be getting near my son. NONE OF YOU!"

"Hey guys! We gotta get a move on here! The police are getting closer!" Yells the one standing near the door.

"Well then let's get our luggage." Says the one coming closer to us.

I tried dashing away,hoping that I could somehow beat a bullet that would more likely come after me. And with a loud bang….I failed the race of my life.
