Dark Soul

CHAPTER EIGHT

It's apparently been a few weeks since I've woken up and I have found some unique things about myself.

My physical appearance is not like everyone else's. Sure, they all have features that make them different; for example:

Ethan is a boy I was introduced to, along with the other children here, has brown mop like hair with blue eyes, pale skin, and freckles across his face.

Then there is Sazzy, who has flaming long red hair with shining green eyes, fair skin, and a black dot right below the corner of her mouth; she calls it a beauty mark.

But me?

The adults here describe me as a devil or an imp.

Whatever they are...

My hair is as dark as my name along with my claw like fingernails and toenails; my ears are slightly pointed and my teeth are as sharp as knives.

I learned they are called fangs.

My skin is a fair color but my eyes are the oddest of them all...

Crimson blood red with a tint of violet.

A color that is not found in normal people.

The so called 'doctors' told me that while they were doing this thing called a 'check up' on me. They told me that they found me on their... facility's doorsteps; unconscious. That I have been in this sleep like condition called a coma and that they don't know why I look this way. Then the adults in white explained to me that the other children are sick and they are trying to find a cure while sticking sharp objects in my arm and took out this reddish blue substance from within my body.

They told me that was my blood.

When I had asked why they were taking it out, they told me it was to find my blood type and to see if I had any ailments; if I was healthy.

But why did it feel like they took out more than they should have?

I don't trust them.

Something within me says that the adults are lying and to be cautious around them; that they are bad!

But for now, I will be patient and observe since I can't jump to conclusions yet and...

I don't want to risk Lily's health if they are telling the truth.

I slightly lift my head and gaze over the book I was pretending to read to check up on my blond roommate. She was on the other side of the Play Room running around and laughing with the rest of the children.

If you add Lily but exclude me, there are seven children in total; all supposedly sick. Yet they are behaving as if nothing is wrong with them.

In the span of a week, the blue eyed little girl had stirred something in me that I can not name... like a strong form of attachment or kinship. A warm and fuzzy feeling within my chest that made me feel that everything will be ok...

But it was far from that.
