{Nathan}

<~{Chains}~>

{4 years old}

These walls......so bushy and over grown, what's behind it? Who knows? I don't ive never been out there all I can do is wonder my life is simple I study I train I eat I sleep I never thought anything of this life I never knew how different it was Until my brother was born he didn't look like me his ears were funny they were on the sides of his head, and where's his tail?

I look to mama than to papa they had funny ears too, and they had no tail either, was I the one with funny ears? Why do I have a tail? Why am I different? The day I became aware was the day those questions never left my head.

Soon my brother began to walk, mama says that I floated before I could walk, maybe Dexter just needed some help? Mama says an older sibling must help the younger ones, so I gently took him by his arms and lifted him off the ground he laughed as we got higher and higher as we hit the ceiling i couldent hold his weight anymore, and I dropped him I watched as he began to fall he should catch himself, but he didn't he hit the living room floor with a thud his cry screeching in my ears I folded them in pain trying to block out the noise mother came running to Dexter's aid. 

While father took me by the arm and dragged me outside he took a chain and collar from the shed and chained me up like a dog he looked down at me with an intense and disappointed look on his face his eyes perching my soul "I was expecting you to be smart when you were born haven't you noticed you're a monster you are not like us, you are a mere weapon and ment to honor this family, but you insist on acting like a dumb animal so you will be punished like one" my ears folded down as his words came out monster? Is that why im so different? My eyes began to water up and hot tears ran down my face, monster? But monsters are scary im not scary I felt a hand on my shoulder that soon became a hug from behind it was mother her soft warm hands cupped my face wiping my tears "I was just trying to help I didn't know Dexter couldent fly i-" she stopped me mid-sentence "Nathan your brother is not like you me and your father are not like you, we can't do they things you can you have a gift you are special" she said but fathers words still won't leave my head "momma... am I a monster?" I looked up and into her pink eyes they were not like mine Dexter has momma's eyes "No baby you are not a monster you are a gift, your father means well he has high hopes for you don't let his words get to you" momma was kind the kindest soul I've ever met right now she is the light in this cold and dark place.
