Why can't I?
I don't understand!
Many thoughts ran through my head every day. I was unable to piece together the puzzle, why was everyone ignoring me?
How could everyone in the village be so cruel?
They say things about me behind my back like monster... Is that true? Am I a monster?
Tears streamed down my face, as I wondered,
How could I be all alone?
That's when he came. Yashamaru, my uncle, the only person that cared. The only person that ever loved me...
Wait, something's different today, what's that look in his eyes? The look that I received from the entire village?
What?
Why?
Yashamaru smiled, brandishing a kunai and whispered,
"You can join my sister now..."
Yashamaru threw the kunai in my direction as my tear rimmed eyes searched his eyes. Why was he doing this? But I found nothing, no heart, no soul, all that was visible in his eyes was hatred... The dark devil that consumed him filled the room with a distasteful aura... And I felt something within me.
The kunai was supposed to hit me, but I felt sand flowing from my body, consuming me in a tight circle... Protecting me?
"What? Where? How?"
It was just a dream... A sad dream of the past, that had somehow found a way to penetrate my memories, and twist itself... I still couldn't understand why, no matter how many times his words echoed through my head...
I just couldn't understand...
