"Scary? My god you're Devine~"

Memories, one wishes to forget

[NAME] stood at their mirror, their gaze drifting to their scars, their mind drifting as they remembered just how they had gotten said scars.

It was late in the afternoon, they had just finished assisting one of the elders in their small town at their store. They had just packed away the last of the stock when one of the parents they would babysit for came up to them in a panic.

"[NAME]! Have you seen Aaliyah! She hasn't come back home after playing with her friends!"

The parent spoke, clearly worried. Aaliyah was a young girl, around the age of five. [NAME]'s expression grew worried as they tried to calm the panicking parent down.

"Calm down-! When was the last time you saw her?"

The parent took deep breaths before speaking.

"I last saw her at around ten in the morning! She was meant to come back after playing with her friend! I saw them all come back to their homes without her!"

[NAME] nodded. A look of concern on their face as they stared down at the parent.

"Go get the sherif okay? I will go look for her."

They spoke patting the parents shoulder as they nodded before [NAME] walked out of the shop, their boots hitting the gravel on the ground. They searched all over the places the younger kids usually were with no luck, though they arrived at one of the kids houses and knocked on the door. After being let in by the mother of the child who they also babysat for they crouched down to the child's level.

"Hey hunter? Where were you and the others playing earlier?"

[NAME] questioned before hunter nervously spoke up.

"We were near the forest...I'm sorry, i know you told us not to go there..."

[NAME']'s eyes widened. The forest? They had told the kids to never go there! There was wild dogs and wolves around there! They then quickly spoke.

"And where is Aaliyah?"

They spoke only to panic a little at the child's next sentence.

"We couldn't find her when we were playing hide and seek and it was time to go home so we left..."

Crap...! Not good not good! [NAME] quickly stood up, before rushing out of the house, their boots harshly hitting the ground as they sprinted to the forest. They knew exactly where the kids were playing. There is an abandoned playground near the treelike of the forest which no one used anymore due to the nearby wolf pack and also the wild dogs getting more aggressive. [NAME] finally arrived to the area within three minutes of pure sprinting at full speed. They panted a little as they turned their head in all directions to try and see where she was, their blood ran cold upon hearing the faint sound of a scream, they froze briefly before turning on their heel and sprinting once more to the direction of the scream. Upon arrival their eyes was immediately drawn to the sight of Aaliyah on the ground with teary eyes as a big wild dog towered over her, it took a few seconds to register but once seeing the dog about to lunge with a snarl, [NAME] rushed forward, their arms wrapping around the five year old as the dogs teeth dug into the flesh of their arm. A whole pack of other wild dog surrounding them. A groan of pain escaping [NAME]'s lips as the dog practically shredded their arm as they continued to protectively hold on to the trembling and sobbing child. The child whimpered as [NAME] whispered pained reassurance to the young girl. The child shrieked upon seeing another dog bite into the side of [NAME]'s face. The blood of the teen getting onto the child as they buried their head into [NAME]'s chest.

"It's okay..don't look..!"

[NAME] whispered and much to the child's surprise with their free arm they threw the young girl behind them. Yelling the words "Run! The sherif and your parents should be at the tree line-!" They spoke before their no longer free hand that they started using to defend themselves was bitten into like the other, crimson liquid getting everywhere. They faintly heard the sounds of the rustling leaves as the child ran. They felt claws of some of the wild dogs scratch their face along with a sharp line down the middle of their torso from the neck down, their back on the ground as they were being practically mauled to death by the wild canines, they felt their own stickler blood coating them and their clothes. Their eyes loosing the hope they felt. Will they even survive? Will they get help? Or will they die by saving a child from a pack of dogs...! Dammit! Dammit all! Not wanting to kill these dogs be dammed! They raised one of their fists and with a harsh thwack slammed it down on one of the dogs heads who's teeth were deep into their skin. A crack was heard from the dogs skull afterwards and a whimper was heard. [NAME] raised one of their bleeding legs and kicked another in the snout, a loud whimper was heard, with a now free hand they grabbed a pocket knife they had in their back pocket and with a swift click the blade was now shown. With a quick swing they swung it down on another dogs shoulder blade. They repeated this action with each dog that tried to sink their teeth into them next, finally they were standing despite the amount of blood they had lost with a pack of dead dogs surrounding them as they planted for air, there was a scarlet colour everywhere, both from them and the dogs.

The last thing they remember was everything going black after hearing the sounds of loud voices saying "I've found them!" Before they woke up covered in bandages in a hospital bed with their mother and father in the room, their mother sitting on a chair next to their bed asleep with their father holding their hand with his upper half sprawled across their bed, snoring quietly with what looks like tear stains on his cheeks.

[NAME]'s hands traced over their scarred skin. They saved someone but the aftermath ruined their life... they were treated like glass by the people of their town but in night Raven collage they are treated like they are about to start a murder spree any minute. As they thought deeply their mind drifted to their white haired friend who constantly smiled at them, no matter what. Maybe night raven collage isn't too bad...
