Ghoul's Mother

Changes

Lily POV

It's been four weeks since our run in with the doves and that freak gave me a shot with the help of the Kagune that belonged to Misaki's Biological parents. And I have begun to notice slight changes in my body. For one, I broke my punching bag. Then I broke my running time by a high margin. My appetite has also grown. I have just put Misaki down for the night, and now I was on my way to restock on some food for me and Misaki. I walked down the street, making a mental list on what we needed. When suddenly I was pulled into an ally by a man 3 times my size. He pinned me to the wall as he was breathing heavily into my ear.

"You smell amazing." he whispered into my ear.

"And you smell like shit." I retorted.

My remark earned me a punch to the face. Which made me cut the inside of my cheek. All I could think about was how stupid this was, that was until I felt a sudden pain into my shoulder. I quickly turned my head to see the man bighting it, ripping the skin off. He covered my mouth muffling my screams of pain and agony. My eyes shifted to the street and people only past by, not wanting to get involved. As he kept digging into my flesh with his teeth, I squeezed my eyes shut as tears stung my cheeks. Thoughts of death rushing through my head, I was about to except it until one thought popped into my head. The thought that if I let this shitty ghoul kill me now, Misaki would be alone again. I didn't want to leave her, I don't want her to cry. These thoughts made something deep inside me snap. I kicked the man in his nuts painfully. He unlatched from me and was down in form of a ball. Holding his privates. Then he looked up at me angrily.

"You bitch!!!" He yelled, still shaking from pain and anger.

I looked back to my shoulder, seeing my shoulder bone sticking out. Plain as day, but I was pretty calm about it. I looked back at the male ghoul and gripped his chin firmly, his eyes had turned black and red. As he tried to shake off my hand. I said, "Pieces of shit like you, don't even disserve to call yourself a ghoul. It's because of you basterds that my angle thinks she is a monster." He then froze, looking into my eyes. Not moving a muscle I placed my injured arm's hand on the back of his head. He then said, "I-I'm sorry."

"To late for that." I told him, and right then and there I snapped his neck.

His motionless corps fell to the ground, then I heard a loud scream and I looked to the source. It was a woman who had walked out of a door to the ally to take out the trash, she fell to the ground. Shacking like a leaf as she stared up at me. Fear clearly spread out on her face. I was happy that I was in the dark shadows, she couldn't make out my face. "I'm not going to hurt you. So shut the fuck up." I told her and she quickly shut her mouth. I pulled up my hood and tightened it to hide my face before dragging the dead ghoul into the light and threw his corps into the dumpster. I held my hand out to the woman. She looked both scared and confused. "Take my hand. If you stay down there any longer a rat will climb on you." she then quickly took my hand, and I pulled her up. I then picked up the trash bag she dropped and tossed that in the dumpster. "T-thank you. For helping me up." she said.

"No problem." I told her.

Then I walked into the dark ally, away from the woman who stood there. Watching me leave. After a while I pulled my hood down and looked at the graffiti covered walls as I passed. I zoned in and out, still not caring that there was a huge gap in my shoulder. I didn't stop walking until I found myself in front of Uta's place. Not caring about knocking I let myself in. And the first thing I saw was Uta asleep on his couch. "Must have stayed up late making masks again." I thought to myself. I walked in closing the door behind me, and pushed him off the couch. Making a loud THUD as he hit the ground.

"Ow~~" he groaned, as he rubbed his face.

"Stop sleeping on the couch. You'll catch a cold that way." I told him.

"I keep telling you to kno-" He stopped mid-sentence as he looked at me.

"Yes I know, I have a chunk missing from my shoulder." I rolled my eyes.

"The hell happened?" He asked still staring.

"I ran into a ghoul while I was out to get food for the house. Lucky for me I left Misaki asleep at home. I never would have wanted her to see that." I explained.

"Well that explains the shoulder, but what happened to your eyes?" he questioned.

"What about my eyes?" I asked.

He stood up and push me to a mirror, in it I saw my eyes. The white parts were now black but instead of a red eyeris. They were a glowing blue. "What the hell?" I said as I touched my face. And as if on cue my stomach growled, demanding to be fed. I smelt something good coming from Uta's kitchen. I walked in and opened his fridge. The lovely smell coming from the nicely folded packages he had hidden within. I know what they contained. But I couldn't help myself. I pulled a pack out, tore the paper off, and practically ate it all at once.

"Lily?" Uta asked, snapping me back to my scenes.

I looked down to my now blood covered hands, then up to Uta. His face showed that he was shocked. My eyes stung again from tears. He quickly snapped out of it and pulled me into a hug. "What the hell happened to you?" he asked, patting my head. I racked my brain on how the hell things turned out this way, when I remembered that shot.

"It's all that science bastered fault!!!" I shouted, braking from the hug.
