My Sweater String

{6}

Blue's POV
I jog up the apartment stairs, my bag dragging me down. "ONLY PACK THE ESSENTIALS!!" My dad would scream. Now I know why!

I reach the top of the steps and speed walk to her apartment number "335...336..- Ah, here it is!" I mumble to myself as I knock on the door.

I hear hurried feet and see Nova swing the door open.

"I have tea." She says bluntly.

I swing my bag over my body and it falls on the floor, I unzip it and start rummaging through it.

I pull out two mugs. "Spill." I say as I pour out metaphorical liquid.

We both laugh as she lets me in.

We both walk down the small hall and into her bedroom. It's not big, considering she has to pay for it herself.

Nova's POV
~⚠️FLASHBACK⚠️~
"Mom- please don't leave me... We'll help you okay? You're gonna be okay." I tell her but mostly myself.

Tears stream down my face as I hear her struggle to speak.

"Nova, look at me." She says assertively.

I glance up, our eyes meeting.

"Don't let them know I'm dead. I saved some income for you in my bedroom. It's in my dresser. That should be enough to last you a few years but after that, you need a job-" she coughs hard.

"Nova, I never once doubted you. I love you.." she says as her eyes start to lose color.

"Mom. Mom! NO! You can't leave me yet! I-I'm not ready! Please... I love you too...." I say softly.

I start to hear them coming, I scoop my mother up and run away, her blood stains my clothes but I don't care. All I care about is getting her out of this awful place.

I feel a voice urge me to hide and let it take over but I dismiss it.

All of a sudden I feel stiff and stop running, the crunching of the forest leaves stop as I arch my back.

I softly place my mother on the dirty forest floor and stand up. I feel my teeth start to sharpen and my senses become more aware.

I close my eyes and fall to my knees. I feel a sharp pain in my back and legs.

The pain quickly spreads to the rest of my body. The pain becoming so excruciating that I scream out, my voice cracking slightly.

The pain slowly stops. I suddenly feel smaller- warmer. I feel as if all my senses are finally awake for the first time.

I look down and see two black paws with sharp claws.

I look behind me and see two other black paws and a horizontal, furry back.

I hear their footsteps come closer.

I turn around and get used to this new body.

I see them approach closer and I ready myself.

I see my reflection in one of their helmets:

'Holy shit!' I think to myself.

They load their guns and point them at my petite form.

I lower my chest and growl loudly.

I run after them, my pads hitting sticks and small pebbles.

I see their fingers move to their triggers as I charge after them.

I dodge a bullet and launch onto one of their guns, ripping it out of their hands and whipping it to the side.

I bite down hard on their leg and tear the cheap fabric.

My yellow eyes glow brighter as my thirst for revenge grows stronger.

They drop down to their knees as I attack them further, their teammates far gone now.

They scream as I bite their shoulder then are silenced as I bite their neck.

Blood spurs out as I pull away from the now lifeless body.
