Lana

The pain was all there was...

She couldn't think, couldn't breath. She felt blood running down her arms, down the side of her face, soaking into her hair and clothes. There was an empty spot between her arms where her kitten was normally held. The small girl missed the kitten at that moment, him, and all his wise cracks, all his insults.

He was still stuck there...

Yes. He was still being held by that demon, that monster. Violet eyes filled up with tears, that streamed down the side of the small girls face, mingling with the blood. She shook, shivering violently in the cold air. The little hut she was in was little more then pieces of cardboard nailed together, her blanket little more then a torn up sheet, soaked in blood.

She thought she had escaped...

But she never had. Never. Even after two years, the demon chased her, hurt her. Her tiny body shook with terrified sobs, yet she made not a sound, to terrified of being found in her hiding place. The ground beneath her was red with blood, white tendrils of hair dangling in her face, staining red.

He was going to hurt him...

The small girl shook at the thought, curling into a tight ball. She did not know if the kitten would be able to talk himself out of this one, or sneaky enough to escape from the demon. The kitten was risking his own life, to save this small, weak wisp of a girl. The small girl sobbed quietly, despair overwhelming her

She left him there...

She had to. She hadn't wanted to, yet the kitten insisted, helping to cover her escape for as long as he could, giving her time to escape. She had begged, and pleaded, yet the kitten would not follow. The guilt mingled with her despair, until the small child could not think, or hear past the roar in her ears. She was blinded by tears, curling into as small a ball she could manage, shaking like a leaf in the wind.

Somewhere nearby, a small animal meowed loudly, and footsteps approached rapidly, yet the girl never heard them.
