World War 3 |Fantasy Edition|

Chapter 6

Oh right, I forgot my line. "I am Unknown. So don't tell me what to do!"

"I can't believe it! Unknown is standing in front of me..and I said offensive things to her.." He still was able to speak, unlike the others, who were frozen and couldn't speak. I smirked mockingly again. At least they weren't as 'denial' as Tarleo was. I looked over at Tarleo who stared back at me. By his expression, he knew what I was thinking. I winked at him and turned back to the chief, who still stared in shock. The old man smiled as if he knew the entire time. I closed my eyes and sighed. I didn't expect it to be this surprising.. but this is what I get for keeping it a secret so I didn't have to do the things I felt too lazy to do.. I heard chairs moving and I opened my eyes, only to see the villagers kneeling in front of me. I jumped. "Please forgive me, Unknown. I wished we'd of known. Don't leave, your friends are welcome to stay here with as much food as possible and the comfy blankets in camp. We will also make sure this camp is as safe as possible, just for you, ma'dum." The chief said, still kneeling down with his her down.

"Stop. Treat us like one of your villagers. We deserve no special treatment. Besides, don't call me that. My name is Kitty, nothing more, nothing less." He looked up.

"Kitty? Excuse my language"

"Yes. I have a different name, but I don't like it. Besides, don't ever say sorry. Act like yourself and don't change for me." I turn around and walk outside. I looked around and saw a big cabin at the end of the circle of the village. It had a backyard too. Enough to fit in a few dragons. I opened the door and looked inside. It was dusty. Emeralzy peeked inside, in her human form and walked inside, stepping on a spider. I looked around and saw a small shrine. "Oh go-"

"I see you found our worshipping cabin. It was made for you."

"Well that's convenient..." I walked over to the hay pile and jumped on it, getting hay knotted in my hair.

"Um, Unk-Kitty, that's made for the dragon's food.." I sat up and glared at him.

"Hays comfy, besides, dragons aren't animals, they feed off of human food like normal people. I would never feed them this!" I fall backwards and land in the hay again. Before I knew it, I fell asleep.

A few days had passed, nothing happened. Tarleo was acting weird and I started forcing the chief to give me a job. Hunting. For fish. Amazing, right? At least it's better than nothing, I guess. I was riding on ShiningMoon at night when I saw a glow in the village. A fire! I kicked Shining's sides, making him go faster and I jumped off him when we got close enough to the ground and he transformed back to his human form. "Where's Emeralzy and Dew?" I looked at ShiningMoon and he nodded, disappearing in the shadows to find the two dragons. I ran across town, grabbing water from the well and taking out the fire on the cabins and tents. I looked around. I was too late, too late to stop this fire. Dead bodies were dumped everywhere to where it reminded me of the war. I growled with rage and ran through the fire, trying to find Tarleo and Erian and yell at them for not protecting the villagers. ShiningMoon came out of the shadows and grabbed my hand, stopping me from yelling their name. "What ShiningMoon?"

"ShingingMoon found them. ShiningMoon can't say, you must go there yourself. He can't save them." I sighed.

"Lead the way." He disguised me in the shadows as he led me through the fires and the villager's screams and the kids tears as their parent's corpses burn. I swallowed my throw up as we stepped in the boiling blood of women and children. We finally appeared on the bottom of a small hill. Finally, everything was silent as if all life was burnt. Two dragon-proof cages sat there, surrounding the group of men chatting about what to do with my two dragons as they lay in the cages. ShiningMoon watched from a distance as I snuck up to Emeralzy's cage. I unlocked it and she sat up in her human form. She opened her mouth to speak but I cut her off with a whisper. "Shush, go tell ShingingMoon to get Dew while I try to stop these men." She looked like she was gonna protest but quickly shut her mouth and snuck away towards the glowing red eyes of ShiningMoon as they matched up with the burning cabins behind him. I snuck up behind one of the men and grabbed the small knife in my pouch.I jumped up to reach the man's shoulder and stabbed him. Right next to his neck. He screamed in pain and everyone, including him turned around to face him. "So you did this?" I growled at them.

"So what if we did kid? This is our war to win. Not you. So scatter because you're not apart of this war." The man with the cut on his shoulder said.

"I am Unknown from the United States! Return back to your country at once!"

"So these are your dragons?" the man next to the harmed shoulder guy, or whatever his name is said.

"Make us leave!" the one closest to me said. I scanned the men and saw Erian there, covering in shy.

"Traitor!" I spat at him and he shrunk away from vision. This is why i don't trust people to be friends. They either are traitors or they die. I grabbed my knife and charged at them again. In the corner of my eye I ShiningMoon running away with Dew as they watched me. Alright. I was fine to retreat. But I can't. I don't like running from fights. I stabbed the first guy in the stomach and he was dead before he even hit the ground. I stabbed the next guy who charged at me in the arm. He dropped his knife and ran back into the crowd, who also came at me. I kicked one guy in the stomach and stabbed a guy in the leg. I crouched onto the ground and spun, tripping the surrounding people with my leg. Once I stood up, I felt pain across my left eye. I screamed in pain as my vision darkened with red. Someone cut me from my forehead, down my left eye and to my chin. I fell tumbling down the hill, leaving a bloody trial. I got up quickly and forced my fear down. I mustn't show weakness. I glared at who's sword dropped with the freshly cut blood. And there it was. Tarleo. "TRAITORS!" I screamed, letting all my anger out. I knew it. I can't trust anybody. My whole life at school was a lone one. People invited me to be their friend but I couldn't trust anyone. And when I did, they spread gossips and rumors about me.

"You aren't the delinquent I thought you were." I remember that day. Those words. I was helping somebody out because that's who I am, and people didn't accept it. Didn't know it.

"Delinquent? Why would you think that?" I was confused at that time as I sat in that chair, logging off my computer. It felt like it was yesterday, but it was a lifetime. If people knew who I was, I'd be the most popular. But I didn't like people at that time. We're animals and animals don't kill each other, so what makes us so special to do so?

"Someone told me. She's spreading rumors and you being a dimwit and a delinquent. And that no one should trust you." At that moment I remember freezing up because I didn't like rumors and gossip. Making me not trust people. I had felt safe being the outcast but now people started chewing on my own fear and laughed as I tried to crawl up the hole I dug for myself.

"Who?" I was so confused at that time, I just wanted to know why they would spread things about me that weren't true. I wanted to fit in but because I was bullied, I became strong and tough that no one could break me.

"Someone who claimed to be your friend. Who was it again.. Machelie? Yea, that's it. She made an announcement before you arrived at school." The moment she said my friend did it, I started realizing. At all those times, my so called 'friends' were using me. I was at lost of words at that time as well. I couldn't trust them anymore. So that's when I decided I would see how far it goes. Now that I knew they were using me just to be popular. Because, being a Dragon Tamer, I can be popular at will. And they, knew it.

My flashback was over. That was the first and was thought as the last time I trusted someone. I trusted these two now, but I now know they were using me as well. Even when I admitted my status. Now, now they stabbed my back. I told myself I couldn't trust anyone, but I didn't listen. Now I won't show them how I feel. Now I'll just watch as people try to inch closer to my trust, only to be disappointed as there's none left to give. Everything left my eyes. All life. I am now an emotionless freak. Blood seeped through my fingers as I let go, leaving a blood string that broke. I would never be able to open this eye again. "You think I would give up here and then. You have no idea how I was treated! They forced me to believe that I was a Kitty! They forced that name upon me that not even I know how to change it back! How can you, when yourself and everyone else doesn't remember your name! I'm disappointed-" I fell to the ground, passing out from the blood loss. I couldn't control it. Those words were filled with the only emotion I had left. Anger, sorrow, and everything else I felt my whole life. My eye was filled with darkness, matching my left eye that was cut, ripped to shreds by my own...is he my friend? I don't know anymore. I trusted them enough to call my friends. But now they ripped out my eye with a sword and I hope they feed it to wolves. I would be happy if I died right here. So kill me. I don't want this life anymore. I don't want to be an outcast, unknown Dragon Tamer anymore. I didn't mean to tell them. I didn't want anyone to know that I was forced to change my name, that was forgotten by everyone, my 'friends', my parents, my teachers, everybody. Including myself. I knew I couldn't trust them. So why am I bad at noticing when people use me for their own popularity?
