Star Ayahoshi ~ Demon slayer OC ~

Part 3: Such cruelty...

Dawn finally came and Tanjiro was up and left Saburo's residence, thanking him for letting him stay the night

As he was walking home, he suddenly picked up the smell of blood. He immediately rushed over to where it was coming from and it led to his home

Tanjiro felt his heart drop

When he approached just the outside of his home, he saw Nezuko on the ground, covered in blood while protected her little sibling, most likely shielding him from the horrors of demons

He felt tears filling his eyes as he ran to Nezuko. She was the only one that was warm but unfortunately for his little brother that Nezuko was holding...he was deceased

Tanjiro opened the door and saw the rest of his family deceased. Blood all over the walls, floors and dead bodies everywhere. At this point he felt like throwing up. He felt so sick and disturbed. And to think just yesterday they were wishing him the best. ...Now they're gone...dead

Tanjiro was immediately snapped out of his thoughts as he realized Nezuko was still warm. So with a heavy heart, he left the rest of his family and picked up Nezuko and tried taking her to town for help

Tanjiro: Nezuko...! Nezuko, please stay with me! ...Please! I'm begging you! I can't lose you!

He cried out while having tears fall down his face and also having memories of his family members when they were still alive and happy

Tanjiro: I've got you...I- ...

His eyes suddenly widened when he saw footsteps that had blood in it

Using his sense of smell, he recognized Star's scent. She had to be around here somewhere

Tanjiro proceeded to keep moving to find Star

Tanjiro: Star...I know you're here somewhere. ...I only hope...You're not dead too!

He kept pushing through the snow and eventually he found me against the tree. I was holding my leg while crying. I was injured not only by my mothers abuse but a demon attacked us as well

~~~ (flashback btw)
After the abuse my mother put me through, I was in my room as night fell. But I woke up to hearing noises.

I went downstairs carefully to check until I saw my mother and her boyfriend trying to fend off a demon. My body went cold as I saw a demon in person. This thing that people have been talking about was a real thing

The demon killed and devoured my mothers boyfriend, getting blood all over the walls and the floors. My mother ran off into my direction and the demon chased her.

It made a move to attack but I managed to duck out of the way, only getting scratched on my leg. As I fell to the floor, the demon stood over my mother and killed her right in front of me. I only played dead on the ground as I used this time to close my eyes and smear some blood on my clothes

With that...the demon left us alone. Well...me. But my mother didn't die on impact, she still had such little strength left

I had my eyes open as I looked at her mangled body. She turned to me and tried talking but blood only came out of her mouth as she was struggling to breathe and ask me for help.
