(Hi ! This is one of my stories that I translated in English, so I hope you enjoy it ^^ French is my native language, so sorry for some mistakes, I stay tuned in the comments.
Some passages in this story may be uncomfortable for some people, I also specify that there will be lemons not to specify it in each chapter ^^ On this, I wish you a good read!)
What really separates man from animal ? Is it our clothes ? Our word ? Anything you can compare to them ? Honestly ... I find us ironic and hypocritical. How many times have we killed or let our instincts speak rather than our reason ?
Unlike us, animals do not create weapons to kill each other and have no money, which arouses in a thousand and one lusts ... They know how to stop and provide only for their needs.
So tell me ... If we are such an advanced species ? Why am I in this cage, cut off from the world ? Marked as cattle with this slave mark on the back. Is it because of my difference ? Because I am a woman ?
The navy is supposed to protect us but remains silent in the face of such acts !?
Through the bars of my cage, I observe them, these men dressed in white who take themselves for angels when they are demons.
One of them looks at me furiously with a whip in his hands. They wanted to use me as a "toy", unfortunately for them, I am what is called a hybrid.
My mother was human and my father was a monster man. We were captured when I was only six years old, my dad tried to divert the attention of the navy, so that my mother and I could flee. Villagers denounced where we were hiding and I was separated from her too. Her only crime was to falling in love with a "monster", they said ...
My piercing green eyes watched the celestial dragon I had injured in the face by breaking his helmet. I am a reptile woman, I can live in water but also on dry land. These pigs had waited until I was big enough to be sold, which is more like a sexual thing.
I knew what it cost me to directly attack one of them, death. But ... I preferred that rather than dreaming of a freedom that I would never know, a sun that I would no longer see ...
In fact, I was suicidal, without even realizing it, I always made sure to put myself in a dangerous position only to feel something, I wanted to be harmed ... Who knows, maybe I was wrong, maybe I deserved this punishment. Why would a mistake of nature like me have the right to have happiness ?
It is only an ephemeral thing, which disappears as soon as it has come.
"Ooh ! Hebi ! What did you think you were doing !? "
Finally ... The moment may have come ... I heard the door of my cage open and I closed my eyes. There was a deaf noise during which I remained motionless. My gaze met that of a white haired man, a pirate ?
"Go away while the way is clear ! You are all free ! "
What ? What did he say? ... Before I understood, he grabbed my arm tightly and threw me out of the cage as the marines arrived.
The auction to which I was going to be sold had turned into chaos, people had rebelled against the celestial dragons !? Impossible ... Among all this chaos, my eyes fell on the exit, the door was wide open !
I took support on my back legs twisting my tail to propel myself up the stairs, the emerald scales of my skin began to sparkle when coming into contact with the sunlight. Heat !
And that feeling between my toes ... Grass ?
The cannon noises and the cries no longer existed around me. I hadn't seen the world for so long ! The salty smell of the nearby sea, the song of birds, the fresh air ...
I started to jump, happy, pushing little animal cries. My tail waggled without being able to control it.
"Where do you think you're going like this, Hebi !? I'm taking you back to your master !"
A cry of pain escaped from my throat, a point necklace had just been hung around my throat, with each movement, the steel points seeped into my skin, making me bleed. As if that were not enough, my executioner raised his whip, ready to give me the punishment I deserved. He was furious, the mysterious pirate had knocked him out, making his nose bleed and he had also lost a tooth.
"You're just a slut! Go ahead ! Say it ! "
" I... "
"Don't make me repeat! "
He brandishes his weapon and I threw myself on the ground, withdrawing into myself despite the pain of the collar waiting for him to beat me to death. However, I would have had a taste of freedom before that ... It's good. I would like nothing more.
And again, there was this noise ... The white haired pirate had saved me again ?
"You ... Are you a monster too !? How can you... "
My executioner was terrified. Before him was a man, much taller than me, with blue skin. He had caught the whip with his bare hands. He didn't respond to the man who was about to kill me and just opened his mouth.
Flames come out, consuming this man who had bruised me so many times ... I saw his body melt, I heard his cries begging and asking for forgiveness. Of all the reactions I could have had ... I laughed.
So ... What is it like to beg and see that it doesn't stop even if the suffering is unbearable !?
I was not happy, or sad, just broken inside and I knew that nothing could ever fix that.
Little by little, the braising pan ended. I did not move anymore, to go where ? To do what ? It would be the same everywhere anyway ...
I didn't say anything when the blue-skinned pirate leaned towards me to detach my necklace, he then wiped away a tear that had run down my cheek. This man ... He seemed sad, nevertheless, there was something in his eyes, something that I had seen only once, in the look of my mother before losing her. Worried ?
His arms wrapped around me and he lifted me up. It was hot ... The heat. It was no longer like the floor of my cell, it was not the cold of winter which penetrated through the bars of my window ... No, it was ... Pleasant ?
"Your name is Hebi ?"
He's voice was hoarse and soft, I had heard many male voices, but never one so soft.
"No ... This is the nickname I was given so that I forgot my name. And it worked ... I don't know what my name is anymore. "
He clicked his tongue, as if he seemed pissed off.
"Do you know how to fight ?"
"I know how to defend myself. It's in my genes anyway, I'm a predator."
I heard him nod before another man he seemed to know came up to us. He had a cape on his head and a strange stick in his hands ...
"Heat, I'm not sure the captain accept ..."
Heat ? This name suited him well. His eyes rested on me again and he tightened his grip around my frozen body.
"She knows how to fight, she will make a good recruit. "
"If you say so ... The pacifistas have been defeated, we must quickly return to the ship before it is impossible to leave the island."
Heat nodded there and followed his companion, I felt my eyelids close as a strange ship began to be visible in the distance. This heat ... I felt safe there ...
