"Interesting...."
A masculine voice sounded across the room, and a small child flinched. Dressed in white rags, and pale as a lotus blossom, she cringed against the dark wall. Lightning flashed, and a long peel of thunder shattered the quiet night. A smile flitted across the shadowed face of the man.
"Kanna, come here." He cooed softly, commanding her with a flick of his long finger. She detached herself hesitantly from the tall pillar she had been hiding behind, and stood awkward and small as she stared into the darkness.
"Hai."
"Come here, child, and speak to me." He watched the small figure as she padded towards his desk, her eyes darting upwards towards his face ever so often.
Such eyes. Completely white. Blank of color, yet filled with a longing and pain. Even the man in the shadows pitied her.
Kanna continued to shuffle towards him. She bumped into the desk, and sat down hard as she fell. Her unseeing eyes filled with tears, and she scrubbed at them with a small hand.
The hard features of the man softened, and he stood, sliding the tall- backed chair in silently behind him. He came from behind the desk, and grasped the blind child's upper arm. She shrank away from him, rubbing at a large bruise that covered her frail body.
"I won't hurt you, little one," the man said softly. Kanna stopped rubbing her arm, and threw herself into the open ones of the tall man. She sobbed into his shoulder, leaving wet streaks of tears down his crisp suit.
"I want to go home! Why am I here? I want my mamma!" They sat still for a few long, silent minutes, only broken by the sniffling and crying of the tiny girl.
After a while, the tall man sat up, and released the child in his arms. He pressed long fingers gently to her mouth, and whispered softly into her ear. "Kanna, I need you. I need you to help me to do something that is very important."
"What?"
"Kanna, you have special powers."
The girl stared blankly up at the tall man. Then she smiled, half-hearted and bitterly.
"I am not special. I am just a little girl. I want to go home. Thank you for trying to cheer me up, but I feel like you were making fun of me."
"I am quiet serious, child. My daughter has powers as well, and I have grown to recognize them in people. Yours are much stronger than hers."
Kanna's smile wavered, then disappeared from her face. "I just want to go home. I want my mamma!" She began to cry again.
The man's face clouded, his patient manor disappearing. He grabbed the child hard by the arms, ignoring her cries of pain.
"They're dead!" He hissed into her pale face. The girl stopped crying faster than she had started. He shook her hard, her head lolling from side to side. "They're dead, and it's your fault!"
The small girl looked at him with a hurt, puzzled look in her blank eyes. "What did I do?" She asked in a small voice. He stopped shaking her, and thrust her away from him, fire in his eyes.
"You killed them in their sleep, with glass shards." Kanna gulped, tears gathering in her eyes.
"Nuh uh..."
"Yes you did! Are you so stupid as you can't remember!"
A look of horror and disgust flitted across the girl's albino features.
"I remember..."
She began to sob again, raising her head and wailing. The tall man rose, and stood surveying her with a look of satisfaction.

Flame licked at the wood in the hearth hungrily as a small figure flitted across the dirt floor. It stopped just outside a door, and gave it a slight push, swinging it open. Moonlight lit the small scene. A tiny bed stood in the middle of the floor, with two adults sleeping peacefully in it.
The shadow gave a half crazed grin, and started towards the foot of the bed...

A slight breeze from the door blew across her face. The woman looked across at the still form of the back of her husband's head, and smiled. Just then, a small movement of white caught her attention. There, at the foot of the bed, crouched her small daughter. The woman was about to extend her arms to her child, when the flash of teeth and bloodshot eyes caused her to hesitate.
The small girl seemed to be staring strait at her, even thought she was very, very blind. She gave a loud giggle, as if she knew a naughty secret. The woman suddenly had a horrifying thought, as her husband had not moved at the noise.
Ripping back the covers, the woman caught a gruesome sight. The man's neck had been brutally torn open, and sliced without care. Congealed blood still oozed from the wounds, and bits of mucus foamed from his silent, screaming mouth.
The woman sat staring, then glanced back up at her child. The girl was now perched on the edge of the bed, and clutched in her hand, was a single fat piece of glass, smeared with skin and blood.
"Mama, I didn't like the way he smiled." The child grinned her, as if trying to justify the brutal murder.
The woman backed away against the head boards, and began to scream. The girl, seeing this, grinned crazily and began crawling towards her mother.
Scream after scream echoed through the house. The mother shrieked out her child's name.
"Kanna, no!!"
The last thing she ever saw were bright white, perfect teeth, smeared with blood, and a raised piece of bloody glass.
