Pucca's Diary

Chapter one- The mysterious ninja

When I was in my mothers womb she had a rare disease that causes the body too turn to ash. When my father realize this he send my mother to the forest to die but before she died she put a curse on me, hoping that one day everybody will be affected by the disease and soon perish. She wanted humanity to be destroyed. Yeah, she loved me yet the disease doesn't affect me but I could pass the disease on too someone else. Two days after my mother died, I was founded by an old man (known as my "uncle") name Dumpling. He was quite tannish and had a bald spot on the middle of his head. His eyes appears dark brown with a funny looking beard. He knew I wouldn't survive here alone so he took me in and took care of me as we'll as he other brothers Ho and Linguini. For ten years I was kept hidden from the public too keep me safe. If I was ever to be seen they would kill me because of the disease I carry. My uncles was careful not to "get too close to me" such as if I sneeze or cough or even if they drink behind me they would easily get affected. But one unlucky day I accidentally cut myself. I didn't know the disease could slip out of my blood and go into the atmosphere. We'll it did and it affected my three uncles. Soon the disease spread and the villagers discovered my existence. They killed my uncles and the others that had the disease. I felt sadness, sorrow and I was very furious. I knew it was my turn to die, maybe I deserved to die since I ruined the lifes of others. I accepted my faith.

I watched them tied the rope to the tree. The rope was ready. First they were going to strangle me to death then burn my body into flames. Want a pathetic way to die I thought. But would my uncles want me too die? They probably wouldn't, maybe they would want me to go on. But it's too late anyway, they found me and theirs no where to go. As soon as they were putting the rope around my neck a sword went threw the the mans heart that was trying to strangle me. I turned around and their was black shadow that quickly disappeared into the air! The sword, being invisible, dressed in all black, could it be a ninja? Ninja's are real? Suddenly I noticed the rope was cut and all the other pathetic hatred villagers soon have fallen. Whatever it was, I couldn't tell if it was the bad guy or the good one. Then I saw it, "him" in front of me. Like I said before he was dressed in all black, he had long black hair that was in a pony tail. His eyes was a little slanted appearing Japanese. The rest of his face was covered up like a true ninja. He looked at me with his dark eyes.

"You ok?" He asked in a soft tone.

I was startled a little, not knowing what too say. I'm happy that he saved me but sad of my lost. Furious for the people who killed them. My emotions was feelings like a roller coaster ride that wouldn't stop. A normal person would say "yeah I'm fine, thanks for saving my life" but I guess i'm not normal because I just starred at him. He knew he wasn't going to get an answer from me.

"Can you tell me why they were trying to kill you?"

I was froozen, if I told him would he try to kill me too? I look down at the ground looking at at my bare feet.

"Um" I paused.

"It's ok, you don't have too tell me if you don't want too. Theirs a village over the mountains, do you wish too come?"

I was shocked, he actually cared for me? That's a dumb question, of course he cared, he saved my life. "ok" I said with fright. I didn't want them to get the disease too. I should of said no but if I did I would surely die.

"Follow me" He said.

An half hour later or so we finally made it to the village.

"You'll be fine here, their quite nice people unlike your old village" He said as he disappeared into the forest.

"Wait!" I yelled but he already left. I didn't want to be here, I wanted to go with him. What happen to my old village is exactly what's going to happen to this village. I couldn't stay here, I don't want to harm more innocent people like my uncles. I doze off into the forest. This will be my new home I thought. The forest wasn't so bad during the day, but at night it was just plain creepy. I kept hearing noises that sounded like a lion or even a bear. I get hungry more often, I was fearful that I might eat something poisoning. I would "steal" food from the village stores when no one is looking. Surprisily I had shelter, in a cave. All alone, hoping that one day I'll find that boy again. I cried silently in my sleep. Weeks later, I was adapted to the things around me. I was independent now. I knew what too eat and what not to eat, I guess my instincts kicked in. That's not the only thing I learned, I practiced my fighting skills by hunting for "big" animals. They became easier and easier for me. I could fight a panther with ease. I didn't win battles because I was stronger or faster, it's because I was fighting for someone I cared. Maybe one day I will be saving him.
