I then began taking care and watching out for myself. Even from my own race, humans. I was bullied by the other kids and some old people that didn't have anything good to do. I ended up finding a place where there were kids just like me. They had either lost their parents, or they had killed their parents themselves. I was allowed to stay there but that didn’t mean they liked me. So I sat in the corner trying to figure out if I was going to eat or not.
“If you aren’t going to eat that, then at least give it to someone else”
“We are someone who hasn’t given up”
The voice seemed to be directed at me, so I looked up and there stood a girl looking at me with disapproval in her eyes. The girl had blond hair, it almost looked like gold. Her eyes were green as a spring leaf. I had to admit, the girl was pretty, even with old clothes and some dirt on her face.
“Hello, somebody in there?” the girl asked
“I haven’t given up, I’m just tired” I said.
Without saying anymore, the girl left.
The next day a couple of robbers were taking the food that all the kids had collected. The robbers had torn clothes and were dirty all over, some were even missing their teeth. In short, they were all very ugly. I didn’t really care about the robbers hurting the other kids but then I saw that girl from before. She was protecting the others. Foolish I thought, but when I saw blood coming from her head I reacted. I felt like my blood was burning, I felt something in my chance. It was like my blood began to fizz. I was running entirely on my instincts. The memories of the fight between the spider and wolf flashed before my eyes, as I ran to the robber who had hurt the girl. I remembered how the spider had attacked three of the senses. I charged, only attacking the eyes since that would be enough to scare them and it did. They ran from their life's and I smiled, I felt free. When I turned around, I had become the new thing scaring them all or not everyone the little girl didn’t look scared just surprised, surprised over I had saved her.
I didn’t know my appearance had changed until the girl I just saved gave me a broken piece I guessed was from a mirror. My eyes looked beastly, my eyes looked like a cat, they were red and sharp. I had a tail also looking like a cats and so did my ears. My nails had turned into claws, long and sharp. Very sharp. There were even markings on my body or maybe they were runes. My hair had become longer. It almost reached the ground. My hair hadn’t just gotten longer, it had also turned pitch black with a little gold in it. My clothes though hadn’t changed. Even if my body didn’t look like that before, I actually felt good, I felt like me.
When everything had calmed down, meaning my body had turned back to normal since that was considered normal, the girl from before came over to me. I was sitting in the corner again and so she sat beside me. She looked at me with concern, weird considering how she looked at me before.
“I'm sorry”
"Sorry for being so hard on you before” the girl apologized. I didn’t really know what to answer so I just nodded.
“what’s your name?” the girl asked. Again, I didn’t answer.
“My name Is Lilith” she kept staring at me, so I finally opened my mouth and said “Miria, my name is Miria”
Lilith began to smile she was clearly happy over my reply.
“Want to be friends” Lilith asked. I looked at her with shocked eyes and an open mouth, but I couldn’t say a thing. She asked me if I wanted to be friends.
“s....su..re” I said stupidly. I was so used to people not wanting anything to do with me, but she was different. Lilith then smiled at me with such warmth and kindness, so I just smiled back at her trying to accommodate her warmth and kindness.
