The rain stung my cheeks as i walked along the road. It was dark, and it was beginning to rain.
I pulled my hood over my head as i slung my bookbag over my shoulder. It hit my thigh with each step i took, causing it to create a sort of rhythm. Yet my mind was elsewhere.
They'll miss me. They'll mourn and cry, wondering where the strange orphan went.
Yet it doesn't matter. Nothing mattered anymore exept finding a place to stay for now. One more slip-up and i would have been interrogated.
Or worse.
I shivered at the thought of what could have happened. I was right, this was the time to leave. Even if it had been my home for nearly a year, i couldn't stay. I could never stay anywhere where normal humans were. Anyway, i wasn't even one...
A car horn brought me back from my thoughts. A gray, faded Chevy had honked at me. I looked down, avoiding eye-contact with the driver. If they knew me, I could run, yet they would report me.
"Tsuki," I was looking down my jacket sleeves at my pet rat, "what are you doin'?"
She had been my only companion i was able to take. My dog, the beautiful mongrel i had grown up with, had died a few monthes ago.
Fresh tears sprung to my pale yellow eyes at the thought. The dog had been my best friend since i could remember, i had even ran away with him from home-to-home.
"Yet he's gone now... just like everything you've ever known. Your a monster, you can never be within any normal," I growled at the word, "people for any time..."
I had spoken softly, my voice hardly above a whisper. I lifted my right arm, which contained Tsuki, to wipe away my tears. She rubbed her velvet-soft fur against my face reassuringly. She was right, it wasn't over yet. I was still alive, or what you could call alive.
That brought a new faith into my heart. I wasn't fully alone. I had my little Tsuki with me. After all, a pet was the best companion I would probably have been able to have.
The pale shafts of moonlight radiated the highway, it seemed to glow with a sliver aura. It was solemn, and forelorn. The rain pattered softly on the back of my hoodie, it seemed to feel my pain. I breathed out slowly, my voice wavery and breaking rapidly. I had to give up yet another home, for a reason any normal person would never have.
"Stop it, i just need to stop telling myself this. It won't do my any good."
I growled angrily to myself, i was hardly a human. I had to face the facts. Actually, I wasn't even human to begin with. So why should I even bother trying to live with them?
My thoughts were interrupted as some inner instinct was telling me to run. I couldn't think of why, yet I knew something was wrong. I felt my eyes widen in fear as I walked in silence in the rain. Something was wrong, yet I didn't know what...
I heard a splash behind me. Something had stepped in a puddle. I felt my heart beat faster, the hairs on the back of my neck rising. Something was following me.
Run, just run! I should be running!
Yet I wouldn't listen to myself, I wouldn't let myself. So instead I chanced a look over my shoulder. Yet I saw nothing, just the shadows moving and swaying in the pale moonlight. That was all.
Yet also a car was coming, its bright headlights ripping through the sheet of rain. Its tires made waves of rain water as it drove, shattering the puddles of water.
Yet my heart didn't stop. It beat even faster, it felt as if it would explode out of my chest. Something inside of me was telling to move, also. Yet I wouldn't. I didn't see a need to.
The car was nearly upon where I was, its tires grating on the harsh concrete. It continued until it was almost upon me, yet it seemed to be heading straight for me. I just didn't understand.
I didn't listen to the instinct that was screaming within me to move. I didn't listen at all. Not even when the bright beams of light were searing through the rain behind me.
I turned slowly, then froze.
Two things hit me then.
One, I was standing in the middle of the highway, right in the car's path.
Then there was the inpact of something huge against my side. It felt like I had been hit by a train.
The car's horn blared in my ears as I slammed inot the grass.
For a minute, I thought that I had been hit by the car, maybe killed.
Yet then I heard the horn die away, it hadn't even stopped. I then realized I had my eyes closed. Tsuki's fur brushing against my arm brought me back into reality.
I slowly opened my eyes. To my amazement, I was alive. Shaken up, but still breathing. Tsuki's eyes shot fear and panic into me.
What was she staring at?
I slowly tried to rise, my aching ribs making it difficult. I nearly shrieked in horror at what was lying in the middle of the highway. Yet no sound would come from my frozen lips.
It rose, a giant mound of rain-soaked black fur. It's muscular back appeared to be dripping blood onto the cement. It's crooked tail stood motionless, yet it's head was serene.
It didn't even appear like it was angry. Or maybe it hadn't realized what had happened. Maybe it was mental. I didn't know, nor did I think of the need to know. This beast had saved my life.
I suggested it was male based off of it's muscular frame. Maybe some sort of a cross bred dog gone evil.
He let out a low moan as he heaved himself onto his aching limbs. HE slowly turned his head to face mine, and I nearly froze in fear.
It's pale yellow eyes seemed to radiate hatred and fear as he moved towrd me. He culed his lip in a snarl, his ears laid back against his head. A cavernous growl erupted from his cavernous chest as I slowly backed away.
Yet then he fell. He just fell. So, not thinking, I rushed in to try to help him. That was my fisrt mistake.
Then his fur seemed to just melt, his form twisted and bended until it resembled a human. He was lying in a puddle, his mouth ajar and his black, razor-cut hair soaking up water. His only clothing, a ripped pair of jeans and a black hoodie, were hardly clothing. They were torn and almost completely destroyed.
Yet it wasn't that that made me rush in speechless, it was the unmistakeable beauty of the pale obomination.
