Left For Dead

Chapter One - Memories Of The Past

The memories replayed in my head. Death. Blood. Screaming. Agony. The memories haunted me.

I was sectioned in the Vampires camp. I stayed in a small hut along with my family. Orphan family. Even before the domination of the human race I was an orphan. My family consisted of two twins by the name of Iruka and Mago (pronounced ee-roo-ka and may-go), a girl named Ino (pronounced ee-no), a boy called Karma, my best friend Mikael (pronoumced mik-ayl) and myself, Rin.

We were incredibly close. But sometimes argued over the blood donations and food. Nothing in the bad way but as in not offering blood to vampires in exchange for treats. Vampires were scum.

Before moving to the orphanage when the human world wasn't dominated by vermin scum, my parents tried to kill me. I remember them screaming demon in my face while holding a knife to my face. I was eight years old.

I didn't know why they were saying those things to me. Screaming names that made my heart brake each time.

They threatened to kill me many a time and then I was taken to an orphanage. Abandoned for being a 'wretched demon child'.

My first day at the orphanage I grew angry, hissing at people that were being nice to me and greeting me. I didn't want to be there. Why did I have to be a demon child? I thought many a time in my mind. Why didn't my parents want me?

Eventually I opened up to them. Realizing I was making matters worse for myself. There was no point in doing so.

Mikael and the other generously let me in with open arms. We were different ages but that didn't matter because we were a family. A girl named Katasa (pronounced kay-tasa) was the oldest of our family and took care of us as if she were our mother. Hirotsu (pronounced he-ro-tsoo) was the second oldest and was like our father. They only had a year left in the orphanage. Mikael and I were the third and fourth oldest him being the big brother and I the big sister. Karma and Ino followed closely behind, being two years younger than Mikael and I. The twins, Iruka and Mago, were the babies of the family being only four years old at the time.

We were all happy together. Until the scum took over.
