Darkness it surrounds us day in and day out...me more then others. I can barely remember the days where humanity was stable, well as stable as they could be or the happier times...humans where never perfect and could be quiet cruel and it didn't help their desire for power and knowledge never full..
But soon their quest for knowledge led to their own down fall and chaos arose...chaos has a way bringing out the wrost in anyone or who anyone. I still remember the blood of innocents staining the streets, infected lining up to be culled, soilders stalking the streets, the screams...our world soon became a place to kill or be killed.
I soon taken and trained to become a butcher...a killer... When I barely became A teenager...A soilder to fight for the human race...I was tortured and beatened to become" Stronger" as a part of " training" but I wasn't stupid I know they did it to control me...to make me lose my will...but I never did and I never have them the satisfaction. I fought and kept fighting them making them want to break that will to fight them. Most days I did wanted to give up... sucumb to the darkness I would have to thank Mikey and Zane giving me laughter and comfort...keeping the darkness at bay speacily Moon...who always listened...who made sure I never lost my will.
I wanted to end them...I wanted to end the soilders, no the savages reign of slaughter, slavery, and totured. So I burned them and everything belonging to them...but consciencee came from it...many died some deserving others not...it haunts be to this day.
The darkness was so close to claim me after that but Moon kept me to the light. We both knew it was wrong...we both knew it wouldn't be accepted...we kept trying to deny our feelings...but in the end we couldn't deny them anymore...I loved him...God I loved him so much...my first love...and soon my husband.
But I soon found out the hard way monsters came in all shapes and forms...we escaped one hell only to be trapped in another one made by Pope and Onyx. He hated me ...God Pope hated me...the only human who wasn't afraid of him...who talked back to him...the one who had" corrupted" some of his did everything to break me and to destroy my soul and no one took more pleasure in my pain then Onyx...God he was sick...willing to go so far to try force himself on me which not Pope would dare do. Both of them left their marks on me mentally and physically but what finally broke me was when they killed moon right in front of me to save him from my "corruption"...a all too familiar of great pain and loss filled...the same I felt when my father and grandfather died.
I only remember screaming...screaming so hard that my voice cracked.. Begging for them to spare him...pleading desperately and then the sound of his body hitting the floor. A part of me died that moment...and rage inside of me awoken.
Pope was eventually killed...by Koba ironically...and then the Bonobo tried to do the same to me...he the one I released my rage on. If it wasn't for Zane wouldn't have snapped out of it...Koba took Pope followers, the primitive apes, Zane and Mikey back with him. I had a chance to see my brother again...someone I missed so dearly but I left...I could feel the darkness slowly tried to make it way out...I didn't want it to destroy what happiness he created.
Over the years ghosts of the part continue to haunt me...even when I'm awake...the darkness works hard to sub come...I scream and wail my heart content to the point can't do it anymore...inflict pain and punishment upon myself...trying to drown my demons in alcohol...I've done everything to forget...but I'm still reminded of the pain and suffering of what my father created...I'm still reminded of my relation to him...I'm still reminded of what I've lost...I'm still reminded of my sins...I'm still reminded I've been denounced as human...so what am I?...I feel the darkness closing in...
