Truthful Nightmare
I was only a month old, my brothers' two years. They knew our parents a little, but I was given to them and taken away, but I remember that day like it was only yesterday. Nightmares of that day filled my mind ever since.
Then again, how could you not remember something as horrific as that? Even if I was young, it was something that no one could ever say, wasn't scary.
I looked around in horror. I could barely comprehend it. I saw fighting and blood everywhere.
My family and I had lived on the far reaches of the Soul Society, and we never got attacked. But today was different. Everything was rushed and slightly blurred.
"SASHA! TAKE THE YOUNG ONES AND GO!" I heard a dark voice yell. It must have been my father. I saw a glimpse of a Hollow and yelled out for my father. I thought he was under attack. My mother growled and watched the Hollow with deep worry crinkling her sweet face.
"Kylar. Scyther. Take your sister Avacrona and get out of here!" my mother's sweet voice said from above me. She placed something icily cold around my neck and before I could whine, my brothers held me and were running away. I screamed and wriggled, but Kylar held on tightly, his face scared forever with the signs of guardianship.
"Ava, you are not going back... And neither are we..." Kylar suddenly fell to the ground with a yelp of agony and I saw some people in black and white Kimono's, holding a sword to his throat. Scyther was no better, his blade drawn and staring at another man with dark eyes.
"AVA! RUN!" Scyther called. I was frozen in fear and another man stood over me. I hear my mother scream in agony and horror and saw her bloody face as she fell still, eyes wide with fear. I looked at the man before me. His glittering blue eyes stared back at me with a dark grin which turned to a frown as my eyes locked with his.
"You... Killed... Them!" I said awkwardly and he stepped back in shock. I scrambled to my feet, head bowed and my face in shadows. My spiritual pressure became unbearable and the man collapsed on the ground as he was blasted back. "You will all die!" I hissed. A dark voice whispered in my mind.
Let me out! Call upon me! Call out my name! My name is Altair! The males voice echoed and I grinned. I felt his power rush through me and knew that he was mine, he was the weapon I had to avenge my parents and protect my brothers.
"By the blood of my fallen family, I swear you three will not leave this place alive. By the light of the full moon above us, by the black skies behind it, by the scarlet rain that falls, you will die here and now! AWAKEN DEATH, ALTAIR!" I called and my hand was out to the side. With a flash of fire and lightning, my sword appeared in my hands. It shifted to the misshapen blade with the strange markings around the awkward shaped handle, the blade of the sword was massive and the size of my body, the handle big enough for both my hands to fit comfortably.
My brothers looked at me with awe and the three men were shocked into terror. They held their swords up to me, but I was faster. I Shadow Walked and I became invisible. I killed them from behind or the side and they never landed a blow on me. I let them die slowly, their blood splattering the ground and forever scaring it. I watched with glittering eyes as they struggled to breathe or screamed in agony or had no breath because of seeing death before them.
I would never forget the looks on my brothers' faces when the three men suddenly became forever still, as cold as ice. They were dead and I stood there holding the blood stained Altair. He vanished as he came and my brothers stared at me. I was stained with my enemies blood. It soaked through my skin, stained my hair forever and my eyes shifted to twilight fragments, that would never go back to their innocent colour of sweet amber and sugar blue.
I looked up at the moon and breathed in the cool night air. I felt my energy get sapped out of me slowly. I breathed in deeply and the scents of the night forest and the cool stench of death filled my very soul. Then my eyes rolled into my head and I collapsed in exhaustion.
