Ch. 28 Paradise Island

-Kara-
"W-well" I get to my feet
"You what is the commotion ?!!" Some kind of… authority person demands
"I…" I think
What the fuck happened
"S-sorry I fell off the tree" I point up at the thing
"The young feller fell out the sky" the lady jokes
"May I have your name sir ?"
"I-I'm… Ka-Kara ?" I finally remember
"Hmm" the police man thinks "come with me" he finally says
"O-okay" I agree still wondering what I was doing up in that tree
"W-wait is that really necessary ?" The lady asks
"Do we have a problem miss ?" He asks
"S-sorry no sir" she pulls her daughter back
"Now come mr Kara" he says in disgust
As much as I already disliked this guy I do as he says
He leads me into the station where I was thrown into a jail cell
"Th-this isn't what I was expecting" I turn around only to get rocked on the side of my head knocking me out in an instant
-hours later-
"What are you ?!!" The guard demands
"I already told you" I stand up "I don't fucking know !!" I shout before he knees my gut
"Gahha" I gasp falling back on my knees
"Sit down you beast !!" He beats me with his bloody baton
"You look just like that Eladian devil !! You expect me to believe your not that thing ?!!" He points at the picture on the wall
"I…" I had nothing to say I could barely move
Everything felt broken
The man on the painting looked a lot like me only he had two horns and had like black fur and white hair
"Easy now the devils getting shipped to Paradise Island anyway"
"P-paradise ?" I huff
"P-please we just found'im laying there !!" I hear the lady that helped me back then
"Wh-whats happening mommy" he daughter asks before they are thrown into the cell with me
"M-Mrs ?" I huff as she shields her daughter
"Stop !!" I bite down on his baton before he could swing at MLK the little girl
"I-I'll kill you" I growl before ripping it out of his hands
"Y-you devil" he backs up
I watch as he reaches into his pocket
"Enough" we hear at the door
"C-commander ?" He turns around "y-yessir" his whole attitude changes
I spit the baton aside as the commander person walked over to us
"Do you know these two" he asks
I shake my head "n-no" I huff
"Mrs. do you have any business with this man ?" He asks the lady
"No b-but-"
"But nothing" I cut her off before she said the wrong thing "just let her and her daughter go… please" I beg
"I apologize for the misunderstanding Ms." he crouched down unlocking their chains
"Th-thank you" she says
I just nod watching as he lets them free
"Unfortunately for you" he turns back around "Kara was it ?" He asks
"Y-yeah" I gulp
"You are banished from this Kingdom of Marley" he says
"F-for what ?" I ask "I-I haven't done a thing !!" I step forward
"The higher ups have decided you are to serve three years of labor before your execution on Paradise island, they see your very existence a threat to our own"
"B-but why ?" I huff
I'm no threat, what's happening??
I just woke up a-and m-my memories they were just… gone
"C'mon" he leads me out
I fell off a tree… is that what happened ?
Where's my family ?
Do I have one ?
They lead me into some kind of little mobile type room
"What's this ?" I look around as it began moving
"This is an automobile" he says
"Automobile ?" I look out the window
I don't recognize a thing
Why ??
Why is this happening ?
Am I really just going to die ?
The commander leans forward "your telling me you don't remember a thing ?" He asks
I shake my head "I don't" I try remembering something… anything but just can't
"That's a shame" he sighs "but orders are orders" he sits back
A few hours later they shipped me off on something they told me they called a Galley ship
"So what are you kid" the guy they sat me beside asks
"I-I'm Kara" I say
"I know that" he smiles pointing on my chest where they had printed on my chest:
AKUMA
AMATERASU
KARA
K 7 6 4 7 9 3 7
"I-is that what it says ?" I ask
"Y-yeah… to you're telling me you don't know how to spell your name ?" He asks
"I-I don't remember much" I say shamefully
"Well just call me C" he says
"C ?" Why's that sound familiar
"It looks from here you didn't evolve much from the monkey" he jokes
"Huh ? Oh… yeah" I smile
"Well get ready kid" he grabs on the huge wooden rods that lead out of the ship
"Ready ?!!" A bearded man shouts at the end of the middle column
"On me kid" C grunts as they all pull the wooden stick down
"Now row !!" He shouts again as he bangs the drum
"Heave !!" Everyone shouts as we pull the wooden stick back
"Hoo" they shout again
"Put everything you got into it boys !!" He shouts
"Aye" everyone responds
"Don't overdo it kid" C grunts
"Y-yeah" I grunt
-3 years later-
"I bet I can beat you at arm wrestling now" I grunt
"Don't get cocky now kid" C chuckles
"Row row row your boat gently down the stream" the captains son sings in the middle column
"You never told me why you were in here for" I ask
He doesn't say anything for a couple of rows
"I put the Marleyan soldier that raped my daughter six feet under" he finally says
"Oh… was it worth it ?" I ask
"Every second of it" he smiles
"That pig had it coming" I grunt
"You said it" C pushes with me
"So how'd you get those scars kid ?" He asks about the three claw marks across my chest
"I-I don't know" I admit
"Have you remembered anything ?" He asks
I shake my head
"Damn" he wipes his face with my fur
"I hate it when you do that" I say in disgust
"Shut up" he chuckles "we should be there soon" he adds
"Where at ??" I ask
He smiles
"Land hoo" someone shouts from the top deck signaling us to stop rowing
"Paradise Island" C smiles
"Oh…" I remember
"Y'know it's always exciting to see who's off next" he huffs
"Yeah ?" I ask knowing it was my final stop
"This ya stop now innit triple seven" the Brit behind me says
They call me triple seven cause apparently I was named after the Messiah of Evil or better known as the Son of Satan so everyone felt more comfortable calling my seven, triple seven, or thirty seven the last two digits from my serial number
"Y-yeah" I sigh wondering what exactly is to come
My execution I guess
"Damn…" C sighs
"So what is your name ?" I ask C
"Oh… Cyrus" he says
"That's the first I've heard it" I smile as the ship finally came to a halt
"K 7 6 4 7 9 3 7" we hear as the stair guy says my serial number
I get to my feet before feeling Cyrus grab my wrists
"So what ?" He stops me "you going out wit a bang ?" He asks
"you know it" I smile
"Your strong kid" he smiles "survive… no matter what"
I gulp "y-yeah"
There's no way in hell I'm bout to go out like this
Not knowing who or what I am, where I come from
I have to know
"Oii bloke it was noise while it lasted innit" the Brit pats my back
I shake my head "yeah it was" I chuckle saying my final goodbyes
"Aight kid" Cyrus nods
I give him a little nod before going on my way
They chained my arms behind my back before leading me out
After they stripped us they lead us up a giant wall where I could see the entire ocean on one side and on the other was desert for miles till it turned to grass
The ocean… it's beautiful it looked limitless but the piece of shits salty I got some in my mouth during a nasty storm
I remember getting clowned for thinking it was edible
They starved us and we were dehydrated most of the time so I'd drink anything
"On your knees devil" they force me on my knees almost pushing me over the edge of the giant wall they lined us up on
The soldier reaches into his pocket "you ready to take on your true form ? you animal ?" He pushes my head down
"Wh-what ?" I ask
"Don't tell me you don't know about the Titans, the true form of you Eledian Devils"
"Devil ?" Why do they keep calling us that ?
"Shut up" he growls
"What are you gonna do to me ?" I ask feeling as he pushed a needle into my nape
"I- I said sh-shut u-"
I jump to my feet head butting his chin so hard the needle flew back out
"Y-you" he stumbles back
He goes for a pitiful right swing but I duck under his fist before digging my fangs into neck ripping out a massive chunk of meat
The taste of his blood in my mouth was oddly satisfying I don't know if it was having decent meat for the first time in years or just the blood itself
Whatever it was it gave me the strength I needed to deal with these pigs
"Gahhh" he shouts in pain
"Hey !!" A guard charges at me
I step aside before he tries tackling me and I spit the chunk of meat I had in my mouth at the third guy
"Ahh" he stumbles back in disgust
I turn around facing the guy that had charged at me before the last one and I bite down on his nape pulling him in front of me as the other two guards sprayed their automatic rifles at me all the while I unconsciously gulped down their buddies blood
"You monster !!" They shout
I drop their friend ready to launch at the two but the guy I spat in the face smashes the butt of his rifle in my face
"Fuckk" I stumble back almost falling over the edge
"It's over you devil" he sets the barrel right on my forehead
"Y-yeah ?" I ask
"Damn itt shut the fuck up !!" He shouts
I watch as blood dribbles down his forehead slowly making it's way down to hide eyebrow
"Ready ? Devil ?" He asks
"N-not really" I admit watching as the blood clumped up at his eyebrow till it was finally large enough to drop down on his eyelash giving me that tiniest chance to escape
I let myself fall back
The fall snaps the chains at my wrists and I roll a few times in the sand managing to land on my feet before I bolted
I don't think I've ever ran as fast as I did now
I could hear their bullets ricochetting around me as they tried shooting me down
But there's wasn't anything stopping me
I ran and ran and ran till the giant wall was out of sight
"Th-this should be far enough" I sneak into an abandoned little shack
