Daughter of a Killer

Chapter 2: The Centipede Demon

It had been what seemed like hours of flying above the forest. It was by then getting dark and chilly. But just before Torayuri(Im calling her Yuri for short) finally spotted the light of what looked like a village. Flying closer her suspisions were comfurmed. A medium-sized village was in the distance, but only a few fires were still lit. Yuri decided to wait untill morning to investigate.

She looked around and saw a small clearing below her. She landed in it. Looking around she saw some trees incircling the clearing, in the center was a wooden well, but when Yuri peeked into the well it was dry.

"Oh well Zyko, I guess this is where we have to sleep here tonight" Yuri said "lets go gather some firewood"

After a half an hour of looking a fire had been built, Yuri and Zyko both curled up close to it for warmth. Yuri lay on the ground, using Zyko as a pillow.and started up into the sky, like she used to do with her mother. Sudden tears came to her eyes and she couldn't hold them back any longer. She started to cry, at first it was silent and then came small sobs which grew louder. She missed her mother so much, she had been the only family she had ever had. Now she was alone it the world, well exept for Zyko of corse.

Zyko, hearing her cried rubbed his head against her and growled a low, southing purr, Yuri petted his fur. She suddenly felt a little better.

"It will be Ok." Yuri said to herself "we can make it through this."

She curled up closer to Zyko, for extra warmth and fell asleep, Zyko soon was asleep too.

Yuri's eyes fluttered open and she sat up fast, remembering how she had got there. She sighed remembering what happened the day before. She felt a wave of sadness rush over her.

'Don't cry.' she thought to herself 'Crying is a sign of weakness'

She sighed and stood up. She had saw a nice looking hot spring nearby when they were flying and Yuri decided she would go and try to find it before Zyko woke up.

After a while of searching she found what she was looking for. She quickly shead her clothes and climbed in sighing when she was in the water.

"Just what I needed." Yuri said to herself, taking the pins out of her hair and sitting down in the water. She closed her eyes and soaked in the warm water.

After about 20 minutes...

'I better get back now.' Yuri thought, stepping out of the water. She started putting on her clothes back on. She had just finished tieing the last bow on her clothes when she geard a rustle from the bushes. She reached for her Kyouyu(the sligshot for the slow ppl) but she didn't get it fast enough.

Something shot out of the bushes and sturuck Yuri from behing, sending her flying into a nearby tree, she hit her head---hard. She struggled back up, she felt dizzy and a terrible pain was overcoming her. She opened her eyes but her vision was blurry and it took a while for her eyes to focus

Yuri gasped. In front of her waqs a demon, a centepede demon. It was gigantic, Yuri guessed that it was around 30 feet long. It stared strait at her, she stared back, expecting it to attack her. But insted it turned away and focused its attention somewee else. Yuri looked toward the direction its attention was focused at. He ws looking at... her necklace.

Yuri gasped again, she forgot to put it back on after she was done bathing. The centipede shot foward and grabbed the necklace, and it one gulp, swallowed it whole.(remmebr ppl, it has a jewel shard on it)

"Give it back!" Yuri said, charging at the centpede. The centipede turned aropund, at what seemed like lightning speed and lunged at yuri, it bit her in her stomach, injecting poison into her. Then it flung her into the hot spring.

Yuri struggled to get up. She saw the centepede getting away.

"Stop" she yelled, but it came out slow. She tried to run after it but her legs felt like stone. SHe dropped down and leaned against a stone. She was having problems breathing. The world around her was getting dark. She was losing consiousness fast.

"Help!" she yelled as loud as she could, which wasn't very loud. She fell into the water. She heard a roar and forced herself to look up, she saw Zyko the. Then the world went black...
