The Lost Demon Fox

Chapter 25

[Sorry for taking to long to post a new chapter. I was busy studying for my test's lol]

~10 Years back~

Y/n's POV

"Mommy mommy I want to eat that" I pointed at the fluffy cotton candy stall toward our left. "Okay sweetheart". 

Growing up as a child my parents always spoiled me with whatever i wanted, maybe it was because I was their only child. My mom was a stay at home mom while my dad had a candy and cakes store. it had all kinds sweets but my favourite has got to be their freshly glazed strawberry donuts.

My dad would always bring me with him to open the store everyday, and gave me one donut for my hard work. My mom would scold him for giving me sweets everyday.

Life was always easy and simple back then. 

Wake up in the morning
Go to the store with my dad
Hang out with the other kids at the park near my house
comeback for lunch
Go out and play some more
Come back in the evening
Take a bath
Eat dinner
Go to sleep.

Everything was okay until...

"Mommy and Daddy loves you Y/n" they tucked me into bed and gave me a small peck on the forehead followed by a small 'Good Night'. We had just came back from the festival! I saw lots of colourful fireworks that lit up the dark skies. I ate cotton candy and yakisoba to my hearts content. I felt so happy that I could spend my day like this. 

I watched as low Moonlight came through the slightly ajar curtains into my room illumination it even if it is a little bit. Soft particles floating in the air visible only through that small ray of light.

My eyes felt heavier and heavier with each second as I was exhausted by the long day of fun that I didn't even notice a dark looking figure entering my room by the window.

The slight sound of crackling filled my ears as the smell of burning wood entered my nose. I jolted my small eyes open as I saw crimson flames eating on my room the same colour as fresh blood leaking out of a bloody wound. The only thing I could hear was my muffled screaming and footsteps rushing toward my door. 

Before I passed out I saw a mask? sliver like grey hair? some kind of tattoo on his upper arm.

I felt myself in a warm embrace as lots of people walked past us. The night was cold but the fire in the distance was warm. I felt alone yet so many people was around me. I felt like I was dying yet there was life in me. 

Why did it have to end like this?
Why?
What did I do wrong to lose my parents on day that was meant to be happy?
Why?...
          Why?...
                    Why?

I felt small tears prickle down my cheeks but I also felt a warm hand comforting me.

"Aaangh"

I jolted out of bed..."Its that dream again huh?" I mumbled to myself as I stood up to get a glass of water for myself.

My breath was harsh trying to fill my lungs with oxygen fast, I could feel a cold drop of sweat rolling down my forehead. I picked up the glass and put it up to my slightly open lips as the feeling of the cold liquid slid down my throat with each gulp. I felt myself calm again.

I looked out the window at the dark sky lit up by stars just like fireworks on that night.

"What is my Life anyways?"
