I ran, ran wherever my feet took me. How can my mother turn so brutal so cold so fast? I mean selling me off like I'm some toy? For money? I know we are desperate but get it that way?
I felt the rage build up in me and my breath started to come out short. I stopped in the middle of the side walk and dropped everything. I fell over and hunched my back as my chest rose up and down faster and faster. My hands soon shifted into claws as my nails turned into sharp deathly daggers. My once innocent amethyst eyes turned into a sickly gold. My soft silky uniform was replaced by thick brown fur.
'I gotta get out of here, I've gotta get out of here!' I repeated in my mind.
Screeches, car horns, crashes were heard in the back of my mind and I knew I caused them. I turned to my left and saw a little girl staring at me in awe through her car window.
'Don't turn out like me.' I thought. She was too lucky to turn out like me. She might think it is cool to see a live wolf only a few feet away from her but, don't judge a book by its cover.
I sighed and turned to my right, I still needed to let out my anger no matter what and what better place than where it all began the forest. I took a step back and lunged for the forest.
All I could hear was my claws digging into the soil and my heated panting that came from my nostrils. Thorns and sticks from the leafy green trees scratched and tore open my skin causing it to sting, but I shrugged it off, I've been through much worse.
'You finally came back.' I stopped dead in my tracks. Did I just hear a voice in a dead forest? If there was an aura or presence of some sort I would have felt it a while back.
I quickly changed back to Utau just in case if there were any hunters. Rustling came from the bushes next to me so I immediately turned my attention over there.
"Who's there?" I asked my senses fully alarmed. It laughed or even chuckled, then left to the bushes next to it.
'You don't remember me Utau?'
"How do you know my name? Who are you?" My voice was mixed with fear and concern. How did it know me? I didn't have any friends, rarely got out, and the people I knew I never saw again. Was he stalking me? Oh God, no, not again…
'Remember the deal we made on the night that THAT happened.' It changed again and was right in front of me but hidden behind a tree.
I was confused at first but soon realized what it meant. The it was a he.
"Y-yes." I said nervously.
'Then you DO remember me?'
"Uh- no I don't! I have never even seen your face!" I yelled annoyed.
'(Sinisterly laughs) you don't need to see in order to know…' suddenly a strange presence came up from behind me. I wanted to turn around but it was like a brick wall was held against my back. I could hear a heartbeat right under my ear along with a whisper.
"…your mate…" He whispered in my ear. On that note the presence was gone and I could turn around. I was confused and pissed.
"MATE! WHAT THE HELL DO YOU MEAN!"
No answer. I was left in the middle of the forest alone. I wanted to pull my hair out but grabbed the log on the ground in front of me and threw it to the other side of the forest. I brought my shoulders up to cover my neck as my chest once again rose up and down rapidly.
"Oh wow…" I twirled around to find Ikuto leaning against a tree with his arm out holding my things. I sighed; I can never be left alone can I? Walking to get my things, Ikuto laughed.
"What?" I said bitterly while snatching my things.
"And I thought my life was messed up." He responded while getting up and walking out of the forest. I thought a moment then gave my answer.
"I should have committed suicide."
I arrived at school on the nick of time. English 2, Mr. Takan, Room 406 7:30 a.m.. I walked in and saw the usual, the groups. The jocks, the cheerleaders, the prissy girls, the over achievers, the nerds( they are awesome!) and me, the loner. My eyes immediately shot over to the right hand corner to a beige wooden desk. My desk. It was where I had my little me time. It was right next to a widow, so I can easily wonder off in my thoughts. I usually thought of the past and my happy times, but my favorite thing to do was think of stories, songs, and music videos.
Ignoring the cheerleaders that stood in my way, I slumped into my chair and let my bag fall to the ground next to me. I placed my elbows on top of the desk and laid my chin on my palms. And with that, I let my mind go wild. I closed my eyes to block out the sounds of whispers and gossip and heard soft guitar chords along with drums. My foot tapped to the beat and then, the words came.
'How can I decide what's right,
When you're clouding up my mind
I can't win your loosing fight, all the time
Nor can I ever I own what's mine
When you're always taking sides
But you won't take away my pride
No not this time, not this time..'
Suddenly footsteps were heard from the door way and everyone ran to their seats. Mr. T. He wore a blue business suit with a white polo shirt and brought his brown leather case.
"Good morning class, today we have a new student joining us today…Utau…"
I was still tapping my foot while humming the tune when he was talking.
"Hoshina Utau are you listening?" Mr. T asked annoyed.
"Huh?" Oh yeah." I said going back into the song.
"TODAY Mrs. Utau, we have a new student…"
"Hi." I said almost immediately. I just wanted him to shut up so I could go back to the song.
'You never change huh Utau?' A voice said from out of the blue. Now THAT got me to stop and pay attention. It was a familiar voice, but I just couldn't tell who it was.
"Not me Utau, him." Mr. T motioned us to look at the door and all the girls gasped. A tall, lean, muscular, handsome man walked through the doorway with a soccer ball in one arm and books in the other. He had messy chestnut brown hair that outlined his face perfectly. But that wasn't the most intriguing part, it was his eyes. Piercing emerald. It just took that for me to realize who it was.
"Kukai?" I asked not knowing that I stood up from my chair so fast my seat fell over.
"Utau? Utau! Hey!" He said with a bright smile. My face turned crimson. His voice, it, changed, in fact, HE changed. He didn't have that childish innocent look on his face, it was manlier and mature. His body wasn't a pile of sticks; it was toned and would make any girl drool. He wasn't the same Kukai, he was….
'Long time no see.' He said telepathically. I was taken back. How can he do that? Only "special" people could do that, and he didn't show any signs…
Suddenly his piercing emerald eyes turned to a bloody red then flashed back to emerald in an instant. My eyes widened and my hand immediately came up to my mouth to cover the huge gap it made.
'Kukai are you…'
'A vampire? Yes. And you're a wolf.'
'H-how, w-what, when, w-where?' I stuttered. I just couldn't believe it. Kukai a vampire? How come I didn't notice it before? Unless he wasn't a full bred….
'(Chuckles) meet me at the park after school, we need to talk.' He said giving me a wink.
"You guys know each other?" Mr. T asked arching a brow. I looked at him, he looked at me then Kukai then back at me.
"I don't know anymore…"
