Chapter One – Scapegoat
The smell of baked cookies came wafting from the small house outside the village. I sat in the kitchen listening to the sound of birds outside the window. The cookies I made sat on the stove cooling. Taking a sip of my tea I admired the drawing I had finished a few hours ago. It was a self portrait of me. The picture showed me in blue jeans and a white tank top and a light blue button up shirt over top the tank top with the buttons unbutton from top to bottom. My long dark purple hair seemed to blow in the wind and my lips seemed darker for my skin was unnaturally paler than normal. My eyes in the portrait were a light violet and although I smiled in the picture. It was my eyes that told anyone who looked at the picture that I was sad deep inside. I flipped the picture over as I felt the sadness inside me begin to bubble up. Another sip of my tea finished the cup. I stood and put the cup into the sink. I then walked over to the living room. Once there I looked at the coffee table and found my colt .45 revolver sitting there open. I walked over and put the gun back together. I admired the handle of the gun for engraved in the handle was a cross and under that cross was the name Yuki. I could feel tears threatening to come up again. I then placed the gun inside my button up shirt for on my left side was a holster hidden by the shirt. I then headed to the bathroom and found my cross necklace on the sink. I replaced it on to my neck and then grabbed my silver bracelets and cross earrings from the drawer. Once my earrings were in I put two silver bracelets on each wrist. Bending down I adjusted my black high heel boots. Once I felt that I was ready I began to leave the house. I was just about to exit the house when I noticed how quiet it was outside. I looked at the nearby window and saw that the sun was setting. I then could hear voices coming towards me. I opened the door a cack and saw over half of the villagers heading my way. I closed the door and head for the kitchen's back door. I slipped out and went to the tree near the house. Quietly and swiftly I climbed the tree and watched the villagers. The neared my house and one of the villagers, who I recognized as the mayor, stepped forward. Looking closely now, I could see that many of the villagers had weapons.
"Merika Loveless, come out and pay for the crimes you have committed in the village. We have several witnesses now that say it was you who has killed many of the villagers. We demand that you come out and face death," yelled out the mayor.
I gasped at the charges that had been laid before me, but then I growled in anger as I realised that I had been blamed for something I didn't do.
"Merika Loveless come out now, we know what you are, come out and pay for your crimes," yelled the mayor.
The sun had finally set and many of the villagers began to whisper.
"Mayor it past sunset," said one of the villagers.
"Set the house a blaze," yelled the mayor.
Soon the house I had been staying at for the last two weeks was set to fire. The mayor then began to organize the villagers to begin a search for me. I took this chance and jumped from the tree and ran for the village.
"There she is," yelled one of the villagers.
"Get her," yelled another.
Running toward the village I could hear the mob of villagers coming after me. Once in the village I turned east and began to run toward the end of the village. Near the end I felt a presence in front of me I stopped and looked around. There in front of me stood a shadowy figure the person raised a bow and shot me in the left shoulder.
"See Merika you cannot hide from your true self for long. As long as I'm alive I will make you suffer," said the figure.
I then could hear the villagers coming closer. I turned to see how far they were but realize that they were still a couple yards away yet. I looked forward and found that the figure was gone. I then began to run but slowed down as the pain in my shoulder caused me cry out. Slowed I made my way to the end of the village and saw a covered object near the left side of the village. I walked over to it and removed the cover. I gasped in shock.
"My motorbike," I cried happily.
I then saw that someone had left the keys in the bike and my black trench coat was on the seat. I smiled at my luck. I then grabbed the arrow in my shoulder and pulled it out. I screamed out in pain and had to bite my tongue to keep from screaming more. I put on my coat and hopped on the bike and tried starting it. When I finally got it started the villagers had caught up and began shooting arrows at me. They all missed but as soon as I had got the bike going one of them got lucky and shot me in my right side. I gasped in pain but kept the bike up and rode east from the village. After going a few miles I saw that none of the villagers had followed. I continued to drive but I could feel myself slipping away. I started to pass out when a flash of lights hit me. I snapped back awake and saw a jeep heading towards me. I swerved right causing me to lose my balance. I hit the ground hard and hit my head. I heard the jeep screech to a stop and a pair of doors open. Then the sound of footsteps came towards me. I barely moved my head towards the sound and saw four blurry figures moving towards me. I heard voices but couldn't make any sense of them. I then passed out.
