When I was small my mother use to tell me how special I was. How one day I'd figure out that I was born for a purpose. An amazing purpose. I always thought she meant I was just unique or different. I guess I was right sort of, but I figured out how different I was on my 10th birthday. I started aching all over, and by the end of the day I felt like I was on fire. That's the day they came after us. That's the day they came after me.
I was shaking so hard screaming so loud but all I could hear were faint whispers.
"You betrayed us...you betrayed us for one of them!"
The room keep spinning faster and faster with every word from the distance voices.
"You're the only one to blame for your punishment."
I could hear my mother's cries and pleas.
"GO. JUST GO."
I felt someone wrap their arms around me, and suddenly my vision began to slowly unblur but I didn't understand what I was seeing.
I saw two men with glowering red eyes looking at me but it wasn't me they were looking at. It was my mom. I was seeing through her eyes. She was backed against a corner and never once did she let her eyes leave my limp body. I looked dazed and confused almost in a trance. I looked lifeless.
The door slammed shut and my own sight returned. I was left staring at our front door.
"Don't worry sweetie, I'll make this as quick as possible."
My dad reassured me as he plopped me down on the neighbor's lawn.
He burned the house down that night.
With my mother and the scary monsters inside it.
Little did I know, There were monsters inside me too.
