Breathing Blood (LadyUnderMoons)

"If you're trying to keep me entertained," My young master glowered down at me, "I say you failed."
My bottom lip quivered, "I was surely not trying to entertain you!"
I covered my body with the light pink blanket beside me as he continued to insult me in a cold manner, "I paid you to entertain me."
"But it is clear I can't!" I protested, anger welling up from inside me.
He frowned and tossed his clothes over his body, "Well then. If you can't entertain me, there will be no dinner."

Kotori. Meaning bird of luck. Should a bird be so lucky, it would be able to fly. Fly far away.

But she was no bird.

She was chained to the earth by her master. She could only stare up at the bright crystal blue and ruby red birds, soaring through the air. As the true bird was locked up.

But maybe she's wrong.

As she learns her owner's story, she decides not to hate him so much. Maybe someone's life could turn another's around.

And maybe..one could finally love through the bleary red pain and vermillion fire.
