Hello again! I've created another part to the story, you can probably imagine how it goes.
{ NEZUKO POV }
----------------------------------------------------
I awoke the next morning, the light of the suns ray entered the room, filling it with a warm atmosphere. I sat up and rubbed my eyes, looking around and remembering how Mr Saburo let me stay the night, I got up and thanked him for helping me. I then stood up and walked out the door, closing it behind me and waving goodbye.
As I walked, I thought of how worried my family must be. I didn't tell them id be away overnight, I should definitely explain and try to make it up to them. Yeah, I'll be sure to do just that. I was quite excited to see everyone again, even if I was just away for a night. I made my way through the snowy woods once again, back up the mountain. The snow was much lighter now, making it easier to walk. I couldn't wait to be back home.
The further I climbed up the mountain, I saw my home come into view. A smile spread across my face, I hurried towards my house. As I picked up the pace, I noticed something seemed off. I was used to hearing the happy shouts of my siblings and to see them playing, I couldn't see any of that.
I got even closer, and as I turned the corner, I was met with the most disturbing scene I had ever layed my eyes upon. It looked like a crime scene, there was blood stains in the snow, a sight most say it's beautiful.. but not in this case. I couldn't take my eyes off the sight before me, my jaw dropped. I could feel the tears in my eyes, and I couldn't bare the keep them back any longer. My family was dead. My loved ones are gone. I dropped everything I had and sprinted towards them. The only sounds I could hear was the snow crunching beneath me and the screams that escapes my mouth. I saw my mother, my siblings.. but they didn't see me. And they never would again, was it my fault? Of course it was, I should never of left. If I knew this would happen, I wouldn't of left their side. I dropped to my knees before my mother's dead body, I cried, I screamed, I wish I had been having some sort of nightmare. But it wasn't, my mother's body that lay in front of me was covered in wounds, blood and cuts. It was clear she was gone, there was nothing I could do, her body felt cold. She really was gone.
I picked myself up onto my feet, rushing towards each of my siblings. Maybe they could be conscious? Do they have a chance to live? Please.. I cant lose them too. As I checked their body temperature, my eyes darted from each of their wounds to the other. They were just children, they didn't deserve this. I called their names as I checked their pulse. "Takeo!?" "Hanako!?" "Shigeru!?" "Rokuta!?" I screamed their names, in a hope one would answer, even a faint cry from one would prove to me they still had some life left in them. But nothing, instead I was the one crying, I couldn't bare it. There was no saving them, I stood up. I remembered I had forgotten someone.
I rushed back outside darting my eyes left and right for him, before locking my eyes onto his unconscious body. "TANJIRO!! TANJIRO PLEASE I CAN'T LOSE YOU ASWELL" I rushed over to him, I had never ran so fast in my entire life. I fell to my knees in the deep snow, he was wounded too, his haori was stained with blood and cuts on his face which poured with blood. I placed my hands on his body, my eyes widened in shock. His body wasn't cold, thousands of questions crossed my mind. How wasn't he dead? Why was he the only one alive. I didn't dare to wait around, I picked up Tanjiro and put his over my back, he was pretty heavy. Him being a year older than me and all. Before I left, I turned to face my family once again.. my tears ran down my face, I was sure my cries could be heard from miles away, "Im sorry Mom.. I'm sorry everyone. I love you all." I cried, before turning back oh my feet., ran and ran, hoping to get to the village. I didn't understand how it had all happened, until the words from Mr Saburo hit me like a boulder. "It's dangerous to go outside, the demons roam at nightfall" That must be it. The demons got my family, they slaughtered them. I felt angry but so upset at the same time, I had never felt so many emotions at once. But right now, my top priority was getting Tanjiro to safety. If he didn't live, I don't know how I'd be able to..
As I ran, tears filled my eyes once again, I sobbed as I ran, the train of blood from Tanjiros wounds staining the snow beneath us. I always had thought colour in the snow would look pretty, it turns out I was wrong. As I ran, Tanjiro seemed to wake up, I turned my head towards him "Tanjiro!? Are you awake!?" But instead of an answer, he seemed aggressive.. So violent for someone who was known to be so kind and gentle.
All of a sudden, Tanjiro jumped onto me, pinning me in the snow. My eyes widened in shock and fear. He had sharp teeth and eyes with a look of rage in them, his nails were sharper than ever.. no, they were claws. I screamed once again, "TANJIRO!? WHAT'S GOING ON?" But he didn't answer, it seemed he was growling almost. That's when realisation hit me, was Tanjiro a demon? He surely seemed brutal enough right now to be one. But I wasn't going to think about that. I saw a hatchet that Tanjiro kept tied around his waist, I grabbed it and without any further minute wasted, I shoved the handle into his mouth as his teeth sinked into the wood. Anything to stop his biting. Was he trying to eat me?.. can demons really not remember their families? Who they are?
