I was out for hours, but it felt like an eternity. I woke up with the sharp pain when I passed out, put the pain had deminished slightly. I got up from the ground when I realized that I had bandages on.
"Who... Who put these on?" I asked myself out loud. Whoever put the bandages on, I owe my life to.
I walked around the forest I passed out at blindly for minutes before I found tall structures in the distance.
It was the city.
I quickly walked towards the city and realized how populated and large the city really was.
"Oh, boy." I said.
I wandered into the city and kept running into the people who kept giving me angry glares. I was scared since I was all alone and walking through a city where anyone could take me and possibly even kill me. I kept walking along untill I was found by a couple more kids. One a boy green chameleon, the other a girl bright yellow cat. They came towards me.
"Hey, you." The boy chameleon said.
I moved back a little just in case they were gonna attack.
"Don't worry. We're not gonna hurt you." The girl cat said to me.
This seemed to calm me down since these kids seemed harmless.
"O- ok." I replied.
The chameleon gave me a gesture to follow them. I followed as they led me towards a pile of cardboard boxes built like a fortress. Though it was a very creative idea, it reminded me too much of Kazawage Village. They led me inside the cardboard fortress, and when I got inside, it was larger than it looked outside.
"Did you build this by yourselves?" I asked.
"Yeah. Took us 3 months to complete." The chameleon told me.
"Wow..." I said.
It truly was a great sight to see.
"Oh, yeah we never introduced ourselves. I'm Camo, and that's... well, we call her Bright." The chameleon told me.
"Now who are you?" He asked.
This caught me off guard. Since...
"Well, I- I don't have a name." I admitted.
This caught them off guard since I didn't have a name.
"Well, then we'll have to make a name for you. Uha, no, Freet, no..."
Camo thought of names for a whole minute untill Bright came up with...
"How about Soul...?" Bright said quietly.
Camo looked over to where Bright was.
"What name did you come up with?" Camo asked.
"Soul." Bright answered.
Camo quickly came back to where I was.
"How's Soul?" He asked me.
"Well, if I'm gonna need a name, I guess that works."
"Perfect. From this day forward, you will be forever named as Soul."
I was happy with that name. It was something I could remember very easily.
The night came and so were my nightmares. I kept dreaming about my village, all burnt up and demolished at the hands of... well, whoever. I wandered into the village where I was picked up by a large man. He had a large sword in his hand. He swung it towards my neck.
"GAHH!" I woke up screaming.
I didn't want to think about that day, but that was my home village, that was destroyed, it was hard not to think of it. Then Bright came into the room.
"Soul, are- are you okay...?" She quietly asked me.
"Y- yeah... I'll be fine..." I replied quietly.
"No, you won't..., there's something bothering you. Is there...?" She asked.
I looked up slowly and sighed.
"Have you heard of Kazawage Village?" I asked Bright.
"Y- yeah... me and Camo visited a month ago. Why do you ask?"
Because that was my home village, and... and..." I couldn't speak those words.
"And what?" Bright asked.
I inhaled a deep breath.
"It was destroyed. Everyone was murdered except for me." I answered.
"Oh, my. I'm so sorry..." Bright said to me.
After I told her what had happened, my eyes started tearing up. I felt like I was gonna cry. Apperantly, Bright noticed this.
"Are- are you okay?" She asked.
"Just please," I started. "Leave me alone for the night..."
I didn't want to talk for the rest of the night. I wanted to be alone tearing up like a crybaby.
"O-okay... See you in the morning." Bright said to me.
"You too..." I replied.
She left the room and shut the door. I flopped back down onto the bed. I just wanted to be alone forever.
But I'll live on. I'll live my life to it's fullest... for my village.
For my family.
