The Raven With Rusted Wings

|-Demon boy-|

As rusty approached the village he slowed burdey into a trot as the dirt of the forest turned into a red brick as they entered the village he slowed burdey into a walk as they entered the market, the smell of freshly baked bread filled rusty's nose as he approached a tying fence for horses, He dismounted burdey and took his reins tying them to the fence, he then started walking off into the market well looking at the money his father had given him, 1 gold coin and 2 silver.

Raven poured himself some soup into a scratched up wooden bowl, He thought about the boy he had seen earlier well sipping the soup from a silver spoon, He looked down at his spoon and look at his warped reflection he saw his horns and grew frustrated, he slammed his hand onto the table and the bowl spun spilling some soup, He got up from his seat and opened the door, Walking out into woods, He took deep breaths looking around he saw a murder of crows perched on a tree, he picked up a rock and threw it at them, they crowed loudly and flew away their wings making a loud flapping noise, The rock dropping to the ground making a soft thumping noise, Raven was bored he missed his mom she left with her horse and hasn't come back, He kept his hopes up tho like she always told him too, He walked around the forest soon the trees started to fade into a clearing and he approached a village, He saw people horse and buggies people in a hurry and people walking calmly, He fluffed out his hair to cover up his horns and ears, and he walked into the village, He saw a market stands full of food and clothes and a pen for animals, He smelled the air fresh bread, herbs, meat, eggs, He saw smoke coming out of red brick chimneys, He heard cows mooing, horses neighing, cats meowing, dogs barking, people talking it was amazing and overwhelming all at the same time, He countined walking and then he saw him, The boy with orange hair buying meat packaged in brown paper tied with a white string, He froze and watched as the boy walked towards his horse patting its neck, He mounted onto the horse and started walking off, He started following him trying to keep a low profile, Soon the boy arrived at a stable and dismounted his horse and went in, Raven waited outside watching people walk by a kid walking with its mother then pointed at him "Mommy why does that boy have horns is he the devil"? The woman looked up at him and her eyes widened she picked up her child and ran away whispering "May God protect us all" Raven was conflicted as he fluffed up his hair and covered his horns, Suddenly he noticed the boy with orange hair walking a couple of feet away from him, He began following him being as quiet as possible, The boy with the orange hair was carrying a potato sack that looked to have some food items in it, The boy then stopped at a house and opened the door and walked in, Raven walked to the side of the house and sat down considering going home.

Rusty walked into the house and put the bag of food down, He walked into the kitchen where he saw his dad, "Son what were you doing out so long its been 2 hours" His dad sounded angry, "I'm sorry father I jus-" His father cut him off "Go to your room" "What- But-" Rusty immediately regretted saying a thing, "NO BUTS, GO TO YOUR ROOM, I don't want to have to do more then I've already had to, Have the bruises not taught you anything, go to your room, I'm not saying it again" Rusty rushed to his room feeling frustrated and scared.

Raven heard yelling and got frightened, Suddenly someone opened the door and walked to the side of the house where he was sitting, The man walked toward him and once he got a good look at him his eyes widened, The man reached for something in his pocket but then jumped on raven, He let out a screech as the man tackled him punching him, "DEMON"! He shouted people gathered shocked and terrified, The man got off of raven and pulled him into the center of the road, people screamed "KILL THE DEVIL" The man then picked up something shiny, Raven saw a dagger in the man's hand, fear running through his veins he stood up and ran for the forest, as fast as he could his eyes blurry as he pushed through brush and branches as he got further and further away from the village, The yelling faded suddenly he stopped at his cabin, The yelling stopped completely his heart still pounding, He ran into the cabin and slammed the door shut locking it, He looked around, Tears started pouring down his face, He walked over to his mirror looking at his reflection "Demon" he said with a shaky breath he noticed a knife on the corner of the table, He picked it up his hand shaking as he looked back into the mirror slowing bringing the knife up to one of his horns he hit his horn with the knife hitting it harder and harder intill it fell off, Then the other he took the knife and hit his horn as hard as he could his horn fell to the ground with the knife, Blood dripping down his hands and head, Tears started gushing his knees buckeld and he fell to the ground hugging his knees tears soaking his pants, He felt shocks of pain from where his horns used to be, huffing and sniffing eyes soaked with tears as he screamed out in pain, the tears dropped down his face his whole body shaking, He felt so lonely no one was there for him he just wanted love he just wanted to feel loved, But no one has loved him since his mother, and she was gone, his hope was hanging on by a thread and he was gonna hold onto that god damn thread until the world ended.
