BLOOD and a BEAST

Death

Chapter 2

    *Thump*
   I heard a noise and woke up to find myself alone in bed. ‘Mother must have gone to bed when I feel asleep.’ My mouth was very dry, so I got out of bed and walked to my door. I opened the door as silently as I could, so I wouldn’t wake up mommy, and walked down the hallway. Once I reached the end of the hallway I was about to turn left to the kitchen, when i saw a shadow in the living room. So instead I turned right to the living room. I was in shock from what I saw in front of me.
    In front of me was mothers head, laying on the floor next to her body. A man was standing over her now lifeless body, just staring at her. In his right hand he held a long bloody sword, with a snake hilt. Then realization hit me my nightmare had come true and this man just killed my mother. I started to cry as I released that I was now alone. My legs gave out and I fell to the floor.
    The mysterious man looked over his shoulder at me and smiled. This murderous man was smiling at me and all I wanted to do was rip his head off, like he did to my mother. The man started to walk over to me, stepping over mothers body, and kept that smile on his snake like face. I sat there and didn’t move a muscle, my breath was shallow. I wasn’t afraid to die, because then I would have another chance to see my mommy again. What I was really afraid of was if my death was going to be painless or not.
    The man finally reached me he was still smiling at me and staring straight into my eyes. I was so disgusted with this man that I almost missed how much he looked like me. He almost had the same eyes as me, the color of my eyes was red, black, and white. They looked like snake eyes with the slit as the pupil. He also had the same color hair as mine, his was all black while mine was white, blue, red, and black. Why does this man have some of the same traits as me?
    We continued to stare at each other, both of us trying to read each others soul. Then suddenly the man stabbed me in the heart, it was so fast that I almost missed it. The sword went all the way through and was sticking out of my back. I felt the pain ten fold and almost screamed in pain, almost. I held in my scream so that the man would know the pain I was feeling, but I knew that I wasn’t going to hold out if this man had stabbed me again. I for sure would have screamed as loud as I could have.
     The man looked pleased that I was not showing weakness and wasn't screaming, he almost looked proud. The pain was to much for me, I couldn't hold myself up anymore. I started to fall over. I was to dizzy and didn't think to stop my self, but surprisingly the man had stopped my fall and was now laying me on my back. Even though I was just stabbed I continued to stare into the man eyes showing him everything I was feeling pain, sadness, and anger I now held towards him for killing my mother. The mans face didn't change but his eyes showed everything. Guilt, sadness, and what confused me the most was disappointment.
    My eyes started to get heavy and I knew that I was dying, there wasn’t even a point in trying to get help. I had nothing left no mother, no father, no siblings, and also I didn’t even know if I had any other family out there. So if I magically survived this what would even happen to me? I hadn’t even notice that the man had took his sword out of my heart  that made me flinch or that I was now coughing up blood. I just don't care anymore I was going to die and that was it, nothing more nothing less.
    The man put his sword away and left the house, and me on the floor next to my mothers cold dead body. I didn’t mind though, it was alright that I was next to my mother and I got to see her one last time. I was kind of happy that I finally got to leave this hurtful world. No one ever loved me, well besides my mother, but now there was nothing. Not even the villagers like me. I never told my mother my dark secrets about the villagers and now I never can. It’s a good thing that I'm dying because, "Who would love a monstrous demon like me?" With those last words, I welcomed the darkness and closed my eyes for the last time.

    2 days later.

    I opened my eyes to be greeted by darkness. ' Was this heaven or was it hell? Maybe it was the in-between? I guess I’m not good enough to go to either heaven or hell.’ My thoughts where interrupted by a dark low chuckle. My head snapped side to side trying to find out where the source of the noise was coming from. When I decided to finally give up I spotted a man that looked to be in his twenty’s. The man was really handsome but also a little scary. He walked over to my body that I now released was flouting in mid air. The man was finally close enough for me to get a good look at him. He had short messy midnight black hair, midnight black eyes, a black furry thing on his black shirt, black pants, two weird necklaces, he also had sharp looking finger nails also black, and lastly when I got a glimpse of his teeth they where not only really white but also all of his teeth where very sharp looking.
    The man caught me looking him over and chuckled again. I guess I was blushing from embarrassment because he stopped chuckling, but still had amusement in his black eyes. He then decided to speak, “If you are finished ‘looking me over there are some things I would like to talk to you about.”
      I was caught off guard when I heard no hate or anger in his voice. He was actually being nice to me or was there something he wanted from me, I couldn’t decided. The man must have waited for me to speak because he stopped talking, “U-um …….. S-sir if you d-don’t m-mind me asking but w-what is your n-name?”
    The dark looking man stared at me for a moment before smiling again and answered my question, “Well little one my name  Jashin. You may call me Lord, Lord Jashin, Jashin-sama, or just plan Jashin will also be fine.”
    This man, I mean Jashin-sama, is being very nice to me and I can’t figure out why. What can he gain from me, or what is it that I have to offer him? “Jashin-sama if I may ask why are you being so nice to me?” I asked my shyness now completely gone.
    “Well little one why would I be mean to someone like you that I don’t even know?” Jashin-sama asked me.
    “Because I’m a demon and monster that no one will love and do as they please to. To be in pain, to be broken, alone, and most importantly unloved.” I looked away from him as I spoke the words the villagers have made me always remember one way or another.
    Jashin-sama looked at me with pity eyes, I always never liked pity, “Please Jashin-sama don’t pity me I don’t deserve it.”
    “Little one please look at me.”
    I looked over at Jashin-sama and saw him smile at me again and to my surprise he hugged me. My body froze, I didn’t know how to react. My mother barely hugged me and was the only one that ever hugged me. How do I react to this? He must have seen my discomfort because he stopped hugging me and asked a question no one ever dared to ask me, “Little one will you give me the honor of telling me your name?”
