Wolf's shadow
Prologue: The girl father couldn't save.
POV Zurin POV
(Dear reader if you're reading this I have passed and my son is your only hope to finishing this story. This journal entry will be my last.)
I walked the streets of n empty village as I sought a certain someone. I walked by a family of three playing with their 4-year-old daughter with fair skin, waist-length purple hair fashioned into a Hime cut, topped with a large red bow, and golden cat-like eyes. I laughed as I walked I was however unaware the man who I thought was her father was actually her uncle. It reminded me of how my sister was before she passed.
"Peace and love is amazing in places like this, but 3 years later I would find myself face to face with that very same girl and her hands would be drenched in blood.
(three years later.)
It was a normal work day as I brought down beast after beast. I had finished quicker than usual and decided to pass by a sweets shop for my one-day wife Holo (Note: this all is a fanfiction and before holo met and married Lawrence.) I met the same woman I saw playing with her daughter 3 years ago.
"Welcome how may I help you?' the brown-haired woman asked. I smiled and asked for a few sweet rolls and an apple pie. She was very pleased with my request and gave me a few extra sweets. I bid her farewell and walked by her house and from the window I saw a young girl in the window I stashed the sweets away and went up to the door and knocked. I heard the pitter patter of bare feet come up to the door. A frail looking seven-year-old girl opened the door slowly as I saw her I knew it was her.
"good afternoon sir why are you here?" she asked weakly and shyly. I got to eye level with her and patted her head. She smiled I could tell her father payed little to no attention to her.
"I was wondering why a cute little girl like you isn't out playing? After all you were watching me from the window," I said giving her a smile she smiled back before telling me about her illness. "I see, well I might be able to fix that. I'm researching how to cure a sickness like yours and when it's done I will cure you." I said. The girl's eyes lit up and smiled brightly.
"Thank you, sir, my name is Ellen by the way," the seven year old cheered I could see I gave her hope, but one day it would fade and she would look for her own cure.
Three weeks later my fears came to pass as I heard of a fire and that a little girl was missing so I set out to find her. I wandered aimlessly until I came upon a dark back alley and Ellen stood there in her bandages covered in blood and a black cat. I stood speechless as I got closer she looked at me with lifeless eyes.
"You're too late Mr. hero she has made her choice," The black cat spoke. I knew what she had done.
"So your choice is a contract with it then?" I must admit had I been faster with the cure this wouldn't have happened. "I see, but know this young mind, when it's all said and done it's what your choices reflect that changes fate," I said. Thus marks the day I failed to save a innocent from darkness.
