I was five. I know it. I was supposed to celebrate my birthday today but I was running. Running through the woods. Though I wasn’t alone. Someone was pulling me to keep running but my little feet couldn’t run any faster. I tripped from a loose vine and landed face first on the dirt. Someone pulled me up.8964 copyright protection360ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3yuO5rNooP 維尼
“Keep running. We got to keep running.” The urgency in his voice made me look up but I couldn’t see his face. Only a dark shadow.8964 copyright protection360ＰＥＮＡＮＡR4Px9lhK3V 維尼
He pulled me up again and we continued to run and then out of the silence, we heard an anguish scream.8964 copyright protection360ＰＥＮＡＮＡYEuaXbOIXO 維尼

I bolted upright from my bed. Sweating hard as I shook myself away. Another nightmare. Another memory. Another piece of my blurry past.8964 copyright protection360ＰＥＮＡＮＡPqrdE0LxUH 維尼
I stood up, did my hocus pocus routine and went to my kitchen only to be greeted by an empty fridge. I didn’t had time to buy groceries yesterday as Sky and I had trouble getting out catch paid.8964 copyright protection360ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2NGPC9zNQ3 維尼
So, I picked my leather jacket and wore it above a black sleeveless shirt. My jeans were worn out and obviously old. Though, honestly, I don’t care. I wore my boots and took some silvers off my drawer and jogged directly towards the convenience store where I took some ready-to-eat food and paid at the cashier.8964 copyright protection360ＰＥＮＡＮＡu6dFnpoScE 維尼
The woman stared at me like I was some beggar asking for money and she ignored my groceries. I looked behind her to see myself in the mirror.8964 copyright protection360ＰＥＮＡＮＡKI21PtRquI 維尼
My hair was sticking up in all different directions. My black shirt was crumpled. My face was pale though I’m sure some people would still find it attractive. The woman raised her brow at me and this time I stared at her.8964 copyright protection360ＰＥＮＡＮＡsVoi4ioJVA 維尼
Her blonde hair was tied to a bun. Her lips as red as blood and her cheeks looked like someone had just slapped her. But I guess I was in no position to judge since I didn’t looked good myself. Besides, I got some studying to do.8964 copyright protection360ＰＥＮＡＮＡbZNUNPXs81 維尼
So, I cleared my throat, “You planning to swipe that anytime soon?”8964 copyright protection360ＰＥＮＡＮＡwQUlaBCAHw 維尼
“Can you pay?” She sneered.8964 copyright protection360ＰＥＮＡＮＡNsTIW3Lftz 維尼
Shocked at her obvious show of disdain for me, I gave her a sweet smile and spoke in a patronizing voice. “Dreary, should you really be asking me that?” And I nonchalantly opened my jacket and showed her the daggers hanging from my belt.8964 copyright protection360ＰＥＮＡＮＡgEAiLvGPjq 維尼
Her eyes bulged and quickly took my groceries to swipe it. “640 silvers, please.”8964 copyright protection360ＰＥＮＡＮＡY8pbQQpTJ0 維尼
I not-so-gently put the money on the counter and took my grocery bag with one final glare at the woman, I left the store.8964 copyright protection360ＰＥＮＡＮＡPr6IOkfN5Y 維尼
When I got home, I threw the groceries I the fridge and took a sandwich. I went inside my living room and kicked my wooden center table away. I cursed when one of its feet broke.8964 copyright protection360ＰＥＮＡＮＡj0DSb1moY0 維尼
“Great,” I mumbled to myself.8964 copyright protection360ＰＥＮＡＮＡnxwcQeMvWp 維尼
I then kicked the dirty rug away and revealed a trap door. Biting away the rest of the sandwich, I knelt in front of the entrance to open it. It revealed a wooden stair. The stair creaked at my weight but thankfully it held up. At the bottom, I reached above me and pulled at the string. The light opened up and revealed a small room.8964 copyright protection360ＰＥＮＡＮＡKytLxywNWY 維尼
Three sides of the room was covered with pictures of monsters that I have hunted and killed. While on the fourth side was a tiled table housing a microscope and other lab tools? Besides it was a fridge filled with blood samples of each and every monsters I have encountered. Most of my bounty money was spent on building this room.8964 copyright protection360ＰＥＮＡＮＡ65bHCf1Dpj 維尼
I went to the fridge and took the latest blood I have acquired. I dropped a small portion of it in a slide and returned the rest. I carefully slid it in the microscope to study it. And I felt a pang of disappointment.8964 copyright protection360ＰＥＮＡＮＡdvqW52XX1A 維尼
Not even close!8964 copyright protection360ＰＥＮＡＮＡJY1Wc7n226 維尼
I felt anger ranging inside of me. So, I quickly stormed out of the room before I did some serious damage to it. I kicked the door close and rushed out of the house.8964 copyright protection360ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5IXJExFmrQ 維尼
How many monster have I caught and killed? How many years have I spent hunting? Should I still continue? I’ve asked myself that a million times. But I always ended up with the same answer,8964 copyright protection360ＰＥＮＡＮＡO9uscYuGgu 維尼
I don’t want to remain a monster forever.364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq26FIURHx3

“We got to keep running!” Someone urged me.8964 copyright protection360ＰＥＮＡＮＡgflpcUiggm 維尼
But my feet were sore and my body was heavy with exhaustion. I was only up and running because someone was pulling me.8964 copyright protection360ＰＥＮＡＮＡTg2FS33bqZ 維尼
“Where are we going?” I heard my tiny voice asked.8964 copyright protection360ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3vThnTgVqf 維尼
“Anywhere,” the voice answered breathlessly. “Anywhere far from here.”8964 copyright protection360ＰＥＮＡＮＡYLlz6fDnn8 維尼
I felt a hand seized me from behind and I screamed.8964 copyright protection360ＰＥＮＡＮＡrnFlXBUASK 維尼

I fell from the tree I was sleeping at and landed face first on the ground. I felt a warm liquid oozing out of my nose.8964 copyright protection360ＰＥＮＡＮＡ36xy1Y01Jy 維尼
Great. A nose bleed.8964 copyright protection360ＰＥＮＡＮＡuj8fbX65wY 維尼
I went to the nearest river and washed my face up. The cold water felt great in my skin. I heard a sigh escaped my lips. Suddenly, I heard something moving behind me and I stopped dead on my tracks to listen.8964 copyright protection360ＰＥＮＡＮＡMuJfNexecI 維尼
Something was moving towards me and when I was sure it was in a reachable distance, I jumped up and gave a spinning kick. A pair of hands stopped my foot in mid-air as he or she was forced to kneel.8964 copyright protection360ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ7LuqbdJPk 維尼
“Dammit, Gretel!” I heard Sky said through gritted teeth.8964 copyright protection360ＰＥＮＡＮＡCLXJ0iAWu2 維尼
“Sky?” I gasped. “What the hell are you doing here?”8964 copyright protection360ＰＥＮＡＮＡzl2jxeIQXP 維尼
“I was hunting. But thanks to your little stunt by the tree it got away.” He deadpanned.8964 copyright protection360ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7VqdWWA9eE 維尼
“Sorry, I fell asleep.” I apologized.8964 copyright protection360ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5waoyPizu0 維尼
“It’s fine,” He said with a smile but suddenly he became serious and walked towards me again. Though, this time, I refused to budge. “But how are you going to pay for the bounty money I just lost?”8964 copyright protection360ＰＥＮＡＮＡ934QmFVPyO 維尼
With the river behind me and Sky in front, I didn’t really had any comfortable space but I refused to be swayed. “How much was it?”8964 copyright protection360ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6zDfjmsihr 維尼
“I’m not interested in your money, Gretel.” He answered. His face lowering until it was in height with mine. Slowly, he inched his face towards mine and my breathing stopped as my heart started to beat erratically.8964 copyright protection360ＰＥＮＡＮＡTYq6NIKrnX 維尼
Before his lips could meet mine, I took a step back and I fell straight into the river. Sky was laughing so hard he doubled-over. And I gritted my teeth in frustration and I didn’t made a move from my sitting positon. He stopped laughing when he realized I wasn’t standing up.8964 copyright protection360ＰＥＮＡＮＡapmnDzPUsz 維尼
“Hey, enjoying the water?” He teased. Then, he noticed my hands holding my left ankle. “Did you hurt yourself?”8964 copyright protection360ＰＥＮＡＮＡm4GUt4f0lo 維尼
He took a step towards me and gave me a hand to help me stand. I slowly took it but instead of standing up, I pulled him in the river too.8964 copyright protection360ＰＥＮＡＮＡbYzCOMm8nW 維尼
