The circumstances surrounding my origin will always remain a mystery, even to myself. I have no idea where I come from or how I came to exist at the first place, but I am here and I guess that's what matters.
My memory must be pretty messed up since I can't remember a lot of things but I do remember that I always been wandering the earth with no aim or purpose, traveling from one place to another, I've seen a lot and yet learnt nothing that might help me figure out my identity or purpose in this life.
I know that I'm different, I don't know how but I just know. I can see it in people's eyes, everywhere I go I see the same look in their eyes...the wonder, the uncertainty, and always...the fear.
"Everybody has their demons, but my demons have me!"
Those looks haunts me everywhere I go, I can't seem to find peace-of-mind at all. But that's not all that haunts me I'm afraid. I can sense something inside me; I can feel it desperately trying to break lose. It's so hard to fight it sometimes, but I try not to let it out, I don't know what it is but something tells me that it better stays leashed, at least for the time being.
"A rose will wound you, not with her thorns but with her beauty."
I'll never forget that day; I was wandering around as usual until I saw her; the most beautiful creature I ever seen. She looked so beautiful and so pure that I almost felt physical pain just for seeing her. She was being attacked by a bunch of men, apparently they wanted what she didn't want to give, she had a baby and one of them was holding the baby, threatening her (to force her to give in), I can almost still hear her screams -begging for her life and her baby's- but these men didn't know the meaning of the word mercy, I think it's an overstatement calling them "men", because by that I consider them human, while they are much worse, they may have been humans at some point but now they are blinded by evil and lust that they changed into something else, something that ought not exist.
"Unleash the beast within."
At that point I started feeling that things inside me tearing me from the inside, it wanted to get out and it felt like that it won't take no for an answer this time, so I let go...I felt my blood is boiling, every single cell of my body was on fire, it was rage, absolute bestial rage. I felt power flowing through my veins as the rage fueled the beast within. I just couldn't control myself any longer, I started attacking those "men" -tearing them up- one by one like there is no tomorrow, I knew that I couldn't stop until every single one of them was dead, and so it happened...
"Let me drown in the abyss of your eyes, Let me burn in their oceans"
I stopped, took a look around, they were dead...all dead, but she -and her child- were safe and sound, they survived the massacre and will live to tell the tale. I looked in her eyes, and by far they were the most beautiful thing I ever seen, paralleled only by her beauty, and for the first time in my miserable life I didn't see fear in someone's eyes, instead I saw something that I never seen before...I saw gratitude mixed with tears. By then my body collapsed, I blacked-out for God knows how long, when I woke up she was still there, she was there all the time, she stayed beside me, she could have left but she didn't, she chose to stay and take care of me while I was passed out, nobody ever took care of me before...I never knew the meaning of kindness till that day, she were the first person that showed such compassion towards someone like me.
At that point I figured out my purpose, the reason of my existence, I shall stay with her, serve her, and protect her with my life as long as it takes for the rest of my unnatural life... |
