I Am The Lost

Found

"Hello human," said a tall, strange man standing in front of me. He had bandages covering his body, three eyes that glow fire red, black hair with white stripes, and was extremely skinny. I just stared at him giving no expression. Since I can't fear, can't love, can't be happy, can't be sad, can't feel hate, I'm just a faceless doll.

"Excuwse me sir," I said in my little kid voice. I walked right by him with him just staring at my tiny silhouette.

"What's your name?" he asked. I stopped and turned around and looked up at his tall figure.

"2 12 1 11 5," I said.

"That's numbers not a name." He said picking me up, and holding me out in front of him.

"Pwease pwut me down."

"Tell me your name little girl."

"In my viwlage that is my name." He just stared at me. "Each number is aw wetter. So... Bwake... is my name."

"That's a boyish name for a girl," he said with a side glance.

"My dad wanted aw boy," I explained.

"Blake, would you like to live with me?" he asked with a creepy smile.

"Will you abuwse me?"

"No," he answered looking at me strange.

"Will you sex...uawly harwass me?"

"No Blake. Why are you asking these silly questions?" he asked, not understanding.

"Will you inject bwack bwood in me?"

"No sweety."

"Then I will cowme." He set me down gently and grabbed my hand. I held tight to his slim pinky hoping it wasn't all a dream. But I remembered, I can't dream.

"Then call me dad or daddy," he said as we began to walk. "You see I got banned from my home and town because the madness in this world is taking over me. I started killing people than I'd eat their souls. I'm called Kishin Asura," he explained to me. He seemed kinda sad to me.

"My viwlage was burned anwd so were aw the people two dayws ago. I'm onwy two bwut I've bween abused, sexually harwassed, and injectwed bwack bwood since I was born," I told him. He gave me a simpatetic look. "Don't worry. I hwave no feewing or emowtions."

"You know your pretty smart for a two year old. There's a school not to far from the cave I live in. When your old enough I will send you there, and you can become the smartest child or anything you want. One day you might go to a really good school!" He looked so happy so I tried to smile, and I think he caught it because he than said, "You don't have to try. Smiling comes when it comes. I'll try to be the best father ever."

"Okay." I nodded not caring much.

We arrived to his cave which didn't look like a cave, but more of a small home with no door but a big opening. It was a lot nicer than my old home. That was for sure.

"Until I can get you a bed you can sleep in mine," he offered.

"Okay."

...

I stayed with him for along time. We always celebrated my birthday, and I got my own bed like he promised. I finally started feeling my emotions slowly returning back to me when I turned three. When I was five Daddy sent me to school. I was the smartest kid in my class. No one liked me, but I didn't care. I kept my hair short in the front but it grown long in the back. My numbers though would always remain on the middle of my back, so I always keep them hiddened from veiw.

...

Today's my eighth birthday, and Daddy said he had to go get me something special and for me to stay at home. Daddy had been getting worse everyday. The madness was getting stronger. I can see into his soul, mind, and heart so I knew it to be too true. I learned a certain way to always stay connected with someone, so I did it to my father. I just wanted to always tell how he was feeling and to see how bad the madness was spreading in his body. He was my only family, so I found it necessary. If he got hurt somewhere, though, I could feel it. All the pain I could feel. I took it all.

I sat waiting for my father when I heard strange voices. I hid under the bed as they came into our home.

"I can feel a girls soul in here, Naigus. Her soul is strong and I can sense the Kishin's but he's not here," said a man's voice.

"We must find her and take her to Lord Death, Sid," said a woman. "If she's the Kishin's daughter than she could be dangerous so keep your guard up," the woman said turning into a combat knife. I was scared for the first time in forever.

"Got it. Come out child! I won't hurt you!" I scrambled out from under the bed trying not to shake. I'm tall for my age and very slim fit.

"Leave before Daddy gets back," I growled. "He'll kill you and eat your souls. Plus, it's my birthday, so don't ruin it," I told the man sternly.

"Young lady. The Kishin will kill you too if you don't come with us," he tried to reason.

"I said no!" I yelled. "He's my Daddy! He's raised me since I was two! He's a great father, and if you want him to be captured by the madness then take me away! I'm the only one you keeps him sane!" The man started walking torwards me. "Get away!" A sword formed out of my open palm as my hair turned fire glow pink and my eyes turned ocean deep blue.

I dodged as he tried to grab me. We ran around the cave for awhile before I got tired, and he caught me. The woman changed back into a human, and the man carried me on his back as something caused me to fall asleep. I started to dream, but it wasn't a dream it was what was going on right now at my home.

Daddy came home finding the place wrecked. His madness and angrer climaxed as he rampaged around our home. He went to the nearbye village and demolished it. I felt a tears fall from my eyes and roll down my cheeks. Then I felt my body being set down on a hard floor.

"Wake up child," I heard the man say. I opened my eyes at looked at the woman from earlier.

"Listen sweety. I need to check you out to make sure you okay. That includes a blood test. It will hurt at first, but then it will go away."

"Where am I?" I asked as she undressed me. The man stepped out of the room to give us privacy.

"No where important," she told me. "Stein! Look at this." She said to a man with a screw in his head, pointing at my numbers.

"What is that?" he asked.

"It's my numbers from my old village," I told them in a whisper.

"Kishin Asura didn't give this to you?" the woman questioned.

"No. I was born in a small village, and everyone got numbers that spelt their name," I explained.

"So your names Blake," the screw man said.

"Yes," I answered.

"Blake can I take a blood test?"

"Uuuhhhh... Mhm." I nodded. He put a needle in my arm and took out some blood. It didn't hurt at all, but that be because I had been injected so many times I just had gotten used to the feel.

"Your bloods black!" he exclaimed yet mesmerized.
