BloodyKnight-The Story of a Knight

Bad Beginnings

She was young, far too young, to deal with what just happened to her family, yet she somehow understood that they were gone. As the little girl hugged the cold corpse of her father, she cried silently, a strange feeling overtaking her shock and fear.

Later, it was this feeling that turned her into who she is. Its was a crazy thing inside her that demanded, not quietly, to be let free from the cage of her mind, to kill all that stood before her , and have no regret whatsoever.

The person behind the deaths of her family, was a Fire Elemential. Jealousy was what made her kill her brother, and then his parents, but somehow not the little sister. For she wanted someone to feel the pain and the fear. The demon thought the little girl was nothing, just a simple human, she was wrong, and that caused her death, her own stupid reasoning, that a little girl would stay scared forever.

Not long after the last breath from her father, a boy came, having heard the screams and seen everything, to afraid to move then, he saw the little girl, shocked but knowing he should help her, he picked her up, and that was the last time she saw her house, tears dripping down her cheeks, her strange red eyes full of anger.

~7 Years Later...~

"Is that all you got Kid?! I know you can do better, you idiot!" A deep voice called out at Bloody.

Today was her birthday yet there she was,hunting down the enemy who was just beyond her grasp, hiding from her in the dark forest . Yet, he didn't know she could find him, even without her sight. Calming down, she quietly sat down, and let her other side into control.

Suddenly opening her dark red eyes, you could sense her aura, which swirled with madness and a sick pleasure to inflict pain and terror. Quickly getting up, she saw the enemies aura, which was gentle,strong, kind ,yet fast to kill. It was the enemy, and any memories of him , were gone. Crouching , she silently jumped up into the nearest tree, and continued jumping ,tree to tree ,at a neck breaking speed.

Once she landed next to the enemy, who's back was now turned to her, she smiled, showing her sharp canines. She then crouched, letting out a sickening roar and tackling the enemy off the tree , sending them spiraling down towards the pitch black forest floor.

The enemy, now scared for his life, and strangely hers , started screaming, not knowing what to do. The screaming made her  hungry for his blood, it smelled like a morning after a rainy night, fresh, and relaxing. Grabbing the enemies shoulder she bit into his neck, tasting his blood as it gushed into her mouth. Suddenly remembering who she was supposed to be, not her true self, that was dangerous and deadly, she screamed, fearing what could have happened.

Pulling him on top of her , her back faced the dark  forest floor as they plummeted the last few feet and slammed into the ground, the last thing she remembered was the frantic screams of her fellow apprentices of the Soulless Knights, and her best friend, who was also her savior , Xavier.   

~Later in the day~

"She's waking up! X! MASTERS! SHE WOKE UP!" was the first thing Bloody Knight heard as she opened her  red eyes.

Groaning, she lifted herself off the stiff bed, and saw her best bud, Xavier. Who was also wounded, with  stitches and a bloody gauze wrapped all over his neck and shoulder.

Eyes widening she remembered what happened, and started to panic, sliding off the bed and running towards the exit. 

Once outside, she heard screams from the nurses and orders from the  Masters, telling everyone to go to their rooms and lock the doors.

Running at full speed the other side started taunting her, telling her she was a weakling, and a stupid little girl, but she ignored Her, and kept running, she ran until she found her secret haven,The Hollows cave ledge, where she could hide. Sitting down on the ledge, she started to cry, which she hadn't done since her last outbreak which was 8 months ago, when she had lost control in a fight between her and a older apprentice who started bullying a younger apprentice.

Hating people like that she jumped right in just in time and stopped his fist from hitting the young ones face, smiling , the Thing inside her was let out of its  cage and attacked the bully and 2 masters who thought they could stop her.

 No one could stop Bloody Knight when It came out, she was unstoppable and she loved it, secretly she admired the other side, but she knew it was evil and just wanted to control her.

 She didn't want to tell herself that the evil side was her true side, she didn't want to believe that she, at 8 years old could be so evil.

Sighing she looked out at the sun, now setting, that was so pure and good from far away, and yet so evil and deadly from near by, just like her. Hearing a crunch she stood and hid in the shadows of a tree near the ledge, ready for anything... except Xavier, who looked tired and worried.

 Xavier, with his soft brown hair and sharp green eyes that could kill if he weren't so gentle and kind. 

Xavier who had saved her when she was 5 and he was 8, who had selflessly brought her all the way here, to the knights who later adopted her as an apprentice.  

Bloody was the best student of the clan, and the strongest.

Even Xavier who sometimes beat her through technicalities , would always end up bruised and bleeding while she stayed unscathed. 

Never before had she attacked him, yet she had almost killed him, and  there he was, standing, searching for her in the dark. 

Muttering , she stood away from the tree and relief flooded Xavier's eyes, sighing he attacked her with a tight hug.

"What happened Kid? You almost killed me, I thought you had Her under control... I thought She was mostly gone! You could have killed yourself! Don't you think that would have hurt me? What were you thinking?" He screamed the last words, a deep blush coloring her cheeks.

"I let her take over, i wasn't thinking, and i am really sorry X... I thought, I thought I could overpower Her and use Her power... I was to weak, I could have killed you X, and the rest.. if I hadn't remembered you, they would all be dead." She whispered, her voice breaking, and tears threatened to spill.

Hugging her again Xavier sat them down on the overgrown grass, and tucked her under his arm, smiling at her as they watched the last rays of sunlight hide away and bring the darkness.

Staring at her intently, he whispered, his green eyes full of confusing emotions for such a young kid. "Promise me that you won't ever let her take over again... Promise me... Please....Because i will kill you if you try again....Promise me dammit!" Not knowing how to respond she nodded her head and curled up with him, her tears drying and a small smile brightening her red eyes.

"I Promise X.."
