Beautifully Deadly

don't hold your breath

My life is boring, filled with endless contempt and mourning. Not meant to rhyme, but okay. Mourning for my cousin who wasn't meant to die this premature that he didn't even get to see his friends and family before hand.

You see, my curse is fast. You smell something, realize that it's you, feel extreme pain, and you're gone. You don't get to talk to your friends or family unless they're with you.

I've tried to kill myself, but I truly can't. The curse won't let me, my body heals too quick for me to actually do harm to myself. I don't feel anything but depressed anymore. There's simply nothing to be happy about. My cousin died, because of me. My family hates me, because I was born. Also I have no friends except the maids that are blind, but even they dislike me because of something I couldn't control. I've even tried to blind myself so nobody would get hurt, but that messes up the beauty of me and the curse can't have that.

The only true friends I have are rose, beast, shadow, and Zoey. All of which are animals that truly can't voice their concern anyway. But I know they love me, because when I try to hurt myself they whimper and nudge me away from the bathroom.

Today is going to be a good day, I wake up saying this like I've done everyday for the past fifteen years. But something feels different today, I don't know what maybe brighter. I go out on my terrace and look out and see fire everywhere. The stench of dead bodies is everywhere.

There are people in black taking my brother away, along with my parents too. My animals are crying and whimpering because they know something is wrong. I can feel someone's gaze and I hear footsteps coming from my bedroom door. I run to my safe room that I just used since I woke up and pushed the door back into its place.

However, I can't run out just yet, because they are in the forest. Thankfully, wolves can't jump they can only fall. I wait until I hear a lot of footsteps in my room, then I run. They won't hurt the animals, wolves can't hurt any animals that belong to the predator chain. Or related to them, and since I got three dogs (dogs of which are related to the wolf) and a cat ( cats are related to lions) they won't hurt them. If anything they'll look after them.

So I bolt, running as far as I can, as fast as I can. Hoping they won't follow me. I hear someone step on a twig. I look around quick cause I do have a weapon. The first thing I saw is a cat on top of a dog, and then two more. It took a minute, but I realized that it was my pets. The cat was riding beast. And instantly ran to them, not noticing who was following. They aimed their gun and fired it.

I didn't feel any thing that felt like pain, I felt a push in to my side, pulled it out and stood up. Staring directly into the eyes of my attackers killing them all. However, there was one person who survived. I met his eyes a second time thinking I didn't make eye contact with him. But I did, it didn't work. Never in the fifteen years I've had the curse has it not worked.

He started heading my way, without my weapon I was useless. So I started running, running fast. I never changed into my wolf at the tower, I didn't need to. Nor could I, they would think it was a sign of a threat and lock me up where I couldn't get sunlight or fresh air. So my wolf was weak, but I still tried to. And successfully, failed. I just fell.

He picked me up and started walking back to the tower. I tried to struggle, but he started growling so I stopped. I didn't want to piss him off just yet. There are ways he could torture me without the use of pain. And I didn't want to go through that.

"Tak krasna a tak i moje. Nemuzu se dockat, az ucinim jeji kralovnu!" He said, I have absolutely no idea what was said. I have no idea if I should respond or what.

"Hi, umm can you please put me down? I can't do anything to you and it's not like I can run away from you when you can change into your wolf and catch me. Also so I can check to see if my pets are okay," I said hoping that I could be let down because my pets are whimpering. But I don't know if that's because they're hurt or they're worried.

"Fine, but you better not run. If you do, I will hurt your animals," he let me down and I stared up at him like he was insane.

"You can't kill animals, the king made it so!" He just smirked and clapped his hands as a sign to hurry up. I quickly checked my animals and realized that zoey is hurt. She must've stepped on something and twisted her paw. I pick her up so she doesn't hurt it further. With a bit of protest from Zoey and the guy, we went on our way.

"I'm Elliot by the way, you may call me Leo but only when we're alone like now."

"Why would we be alone, if anything I would be your weapon?" I was extremely confused. And all he did was smirk and stopped pulling me back to where we were face to face.

"Look at me, I want you to look at me" he said roughly like it was his life mission to make me look at him. And I get where he's heading and I don't like it.

"I'm not your mate, don't even think about it. And don't hold your breath on me looking at you." I said just kept walking towards my home that I've known forever.

"Yes you are sweetheart, but right now you won't feel a thing" that's when the world went dark.
