Have You Ever Felt Lost?

Highway To Hell

~Narrator's POV~

It's a cold day on Halloween, 2018... One... Damn... year since my older sister died from a domestic shooting. Almost one year and I still can't believe Ellie would do such a thing. But I guess it was expected, Ellie did call the cops and the woman was safe, but the man ran off and dropped the gun in the snow. There was very little evidence that could lead where the man ran off to. If it wasn't for Ellie, the woman wouldn't have survived either. 

I swear, I will find that man and give him a piece of my fucking mind for killing my sister like that!

I spent my day sitting in my bedroom in silence, petting my fluffy, black cat, Lune, and looking out the window of the outdoor scenery. Until I heard screaming and shouting coming from outside. I looked out my window and saw a man with dark hair attacking a ginger-haired woman. Lune looked at the scene and growled.

I hopped out of bed and exit my home to try and solve this problem. I walked down the dark, winter street and put my hand over the man's shoulder, "Is there a problem, sir?"

The man looked at me. He was of Asian descent... Japanese to be more exact. He started shouting at me in slurred Japanese dialect. Then he shouted in English, his breath reeked of strong alcohol and tobacco, "You're damn right there is a problem, 'Officer'! This woman is not giving me what I want and now she says that she's never met me in her life!"

The woman shook her head, "I'm telling the truth! I've never met you in my life. I think you might have me mistaken for someone else."

The man turned to the woman, grabbed her by the coat and shook her violently, "Don't play games with me, Haruhi! You promised me Kimiko will be in my custody! Now, where is she!?"

"Please! My name is not Haruhi! It's Rebecca!" The woman cried, "I'm not even Japanese. My mother was Irish!"

"Sir, you're drunk." I told the man, "Why don't we take you home and get you some rest, before you hurt someone? No harm done."

The man turned to me again and aimed a pistol at me, "DON'T YOU FUCKING TELL ME TO CALM DOWN, YOU BITCH!" He turned back to the woman, "Where is Kimiko?! Tell me, or I'll blow your brains out all over the floor!"

The woman fell to her knees and started sobbing with tears running down her face, "Please... I don't have your Kimiko. I don't know who you are!"

Acting on instinct, while the man was distracted, I grabbed the man's wrist, trying to get the gun away from him. The man gasped, turned his attention back to me and fought back. After five seconds of fighting, the pistol went off with a loud bang. The man, the woman and I flinched from the loud sound and took a step back.

The last thing I remember was an overwhelming feeling of numbness, as I noticed there was a hole where my heart is and blood spread from the hole to all over my shirt. The woman screamed and the man dropped the gun and ran down the street. I couldn't feel my legs, as I fell to my knees and fell limp on the ground.

Then... Blackout...

Once I regained my strength to open my eyes and move my body, I opened my eyes to find myself in a burgundy-red and black room, with an old fashioned bed, chest of drawers, and a wardrobe. Someone around here sure likes the color red, huh?

I sat up from the bed and looked around. One thought came to me; I don't think I'm home, or in Canada, anymore.

I rubbed my eyes and looked again. Nothing changed. I looked at my hands and gasped in shock. My hands now have three fingers and a thumb on them, and I had two pairs of them. I looked over myself to find my body was covered in pastel turquoise fur with black ears, forearms and legs, and my canines were sharp. My legs were digitigrade and my feet were like paws. I felt something move behind me and I looked to find a bushy tail wagging behind me. This is really weird, I don't remember looking like this when I blacked out. I'm a human with dyed red hair and blue eyes. Not some anthropomorphic, four-armed fox-like creature.
