Naruto Fan Fiction ❯ Deeper Than Blood ❯ Chapter 4

[ T - Teen: Not suitable for readers under 13 ]

There was blood, blood everywhere. Corpses scatter all over the place. And darkness. But I was too tired to move, too tired to care. My body felt numb and I could barely move. That’s when I started seeing things. There were these colours, everywhere. Orbs of light floating around above the dead bodies. They were so bright and so beautiful. Just seeing them made me feel alive.

I reached for the nearest one, wandering what it would feel like. A bright, golden, yellow. I touched it and a warm, soft sensation went throught my figertips spreading through my whole body and I felt like I was absorbing light.

Then suddenly I heard this voice, coming from the orb.

Stop! Stop taking my life away!! It cried in so much pain and anguish.

But the light, it was so beautiful, so warm, and so lively. I was drawn to it like a moth to a flame. I needed it so badly. It filled me with energy and power.

It wasn't until the yellowish orb completely disappear, did the cries finally stop.

At the time, I did not fully understand what the orbs of light were and my addiction to it.

They were souls. Souls of the dead.
