Demons Tears

Chapter one

 

He felt trapped with chains binding him, his skin burned like fire, sweat run down his forehead dripping off his nose like rain drops. His breath came in gasp as he struggles to get free, falling to his knees; he let out a horrifying scream, as he watches his mother parish to ashes.

 

AKIRA O'CONNER shot up from his bed, broken out from a cold sweat, as he struggled for air, clenching his sheets in to his fist. `It's common for a boy of your age to have nightmares, defiantly after watching his own mother born' Akira tightens his fist as he remembers the words his psychiatrist had said.

 

“Fuck your incursion” he whispered swing his legs off the bed and burying his face in to his hands. It had been long year, losing his mother in a fire then having to spin six months in the hospital until his hands were healed and working and rest of the burns that flickered upon his body. Then learning about his mother's mother still a live with two other children she had for got to mention when she was tilling him that his granny had past a way when she was still a child herself.

 

Finely fining the strength to stand Akira stacked over to his closet tossing it open and grabbing a plane long sleeve T-shirt then binding down to open his dresser drawers and grabbing a pair of black boxers, and a pair of worn out sweats he loved to ware daring his morning runs before everyone rise from their slumber.

 

It became a habit to get up when the sun hit the rising of the town peaking in to his widow waking him up. But to day was different, he was up be for the sun ever had its chance to wake him. But that was ok he would just have an early start.

 

Grabbing his house key Akira tiptoed down the stairs and out the back door making sure to grab an energy bar before he lift.

 

The cold breeze hit Akira once he started to run thro the forest behind his house. It was quiet in his own world, there was no one to be seen just the animals and trees. He could close his eyes and run the path he had memorized.

 

Running took a way the pain and memories of his past, it was his time to be free of every thing and just felt right running through not knowing what was to come not knowing what was leaking in the shadows of the trees, just to be himself.

 

Akira came to a halt binding slightly to rest his hand on his knees to catch his breath. Taking a deep breath Akira straitened taking in his surrounding. It was beautiful, the tall trees shadowing the area he stood in, making him wrap his arms around each other with a shiver as the breeze past by sweeping the trees back and forth.

The grass he stood on also swayed back and forth along with the breeze almost as if it was a malady. Closing his eyes Akira listened to the movement around him, he felt at home.

 

The peace was shattered when the scent of blood past his nose making him crunch up his face in disgust. `Don't tell me, they caught another animal' he thought fallowing the smell of blood praying to god they didn't trap another animal.

 

Coming to a stop Akira was shocked to find a Caracals `what is it doing out here and not in the desert' he thought taking another step closer his eye went wide at the sight of the poor creatures ankle.

 

He shook his head “stupid hunters” he mumble hoping he didn't catch the Caracals attention. Caracal's ears perked up whipping its head towards Akira with a warning growl that rumble through its chest. Akira stepped back `guess not' he thought with a sigh.

 

He stood there watching as the Caracals nipped at the trap to get its ankle out of the trap making it bleed more. Sighing Akira moved forward and bent down risking getting killed and swapped the creators slightly to get it to move its head out of the way, so he could help with the sharp bloody trap.

 

Caracal narrowed its eyes with another warning growl but Akira ignored it taking the small leg of the Caracal in his hand scanning the trap thinking of a way to get the ankle out. “If you don't settle down I won't be able to get you free” he said glaring back at the creator.

 

The Caracal made a nose almost sounding like a snort, holding back a laugh Akira ripped part of his shirt to wipe a way some of the blood so he could take a better look. “The wound doest look that bad, but if you keep on struggling it'll just make it worst” he moved his hand forward running his hand down her leg to soothe the creature. Caracal ears laid back agents her head letting out a whimper.

 

Sighing Akira took his bloody hands a way with a sad expression `I need to go get help, I can't, I can't get her ankle out' he shook his head `no I can't leave her here what would happen if the hunters come back' he thought “I guess all wait here until someone comes to look for me” he mumble looking up at the Caracal who stared questioningly back at him.

“Is that ok with you girl?” he asked smiling when the Caracal growled “I'll take that as a yes even if you don't understand me” he said ripping more of his shirt and wrapping it around the Caracal ankle making sure not to move the trap.

 

Hissing when he felt something wet on his burn, looking down he was shook to find the Caracal licking him. “I'll take that as a thank you even if I can't get you any help” he whispered, jumping when a deep silky voice cut through him like glass.

 

“Oh I wouldn't put it that way” Akira whipped his head around with wide eyes, praying to god it wasn't one of the hunters, but instead a man stood in front of him was someone he never met before or seen around this area. The man had white spiky hair and sharp blue eyes; with a scar over his left eye and piercing down his right ear. He had high cheek bone, a nice manly nose along with manly lips topped off with a strong jaw. He looked as if he stood 6'0 with a nice build “it surprises me” he took a step closer. “That you got her to open up to you” he said with a small smirk.

 

Akira stood up holding his arms out on each side of himself “don't come any closer” he growled at the man then looked down at the Caracal who looked up at him with watery eyes.

 

The man tossed up his hand in defends “wow, wow, I'm not one of the hunters” he said stepping closer.

 

Akira snorted “how am I supposed to believe you?” he questions the man that kept coming closer.

 

The man shook his head stooping just inches a way from Akira “you don't have to, let's ask her” he said stepping around Akira leaning down but when the Caracal growled Akira pushed the man a way from her.

 

“Don't you” Akira was cut off.

 

“Rei have you found Tirana?” a dark brown hair woman asked stepping out from the shadows look a little out of breath with another person right behind her.

 

The man name Rei nodded stepping a side so the woman could see the Caracal. Akira brows nit together looking little confused “Tirana?” question Akira looking back and forth from the woman and the man named Rei. “Who's that?” he asked stepping a way when the woman came closer and bent over the Caracal.

 

“She is” the woman's said with a bet of sadness in her voice. Akira looked down and gasped in shocked as he watched the Caracal changed right in front of his eyes.

 

Caracals front legs started to bend in different direction, bones braking in to place could be heard and the Caracals front legs slowly turned in to a humans arms the Caracals paws started to change to human's hands with all ten humans fingers attached. The same thing happen with the back legs but instead of arms and hands it was human's legs with feet with all ten toes attached. Her upper body became Human as with her face grow in to a humans face with high cheek bones and a small nose with thin line of lips and small chin to go along with her small body. Next her hair started to grow long blond with dirt making it look dirty blond.

 

Akira blushed and looked a way baby blue eyes meeting dark blue of the man named Rei he blushed even darker when the mans smirked got bigger with amusement.

 

The moment was broken from a loud gasp from behind them Akira whipped around with wide eyes staring at his aunt who rushed past him and bent down leaving a confusing boy in his wake.

 

“Come on we need to get her to the house before any one else sees what happened here” she said standing up ready to pick up the unconscious girl but Rei stopped her with a hand to her shoulder.

 

“Be careful not to move the trap you could damage her ankle more” she nodded lifting her up careful before turning to Akira.

 

“Akira run a head of us and clear off the kitchen table for us” she asked shifting her weight so it was easer to caring the unconscious girl, Akira nodded his head turning around and braking out in to a run toward their house wondering if everything was going to be fine.

 

Rushing in to the house, Akira came to a stop when his Granny stopped him by putting out her broom smacking him right in the chest making land on his butt. “Where have you been, your aunt went to find you” she said looking him over. Lifting a brown eyebrow when she saw the blood all over him “what's up with the blood?” she questioned.

 

Akira shrugged his shoulders “Granny I don't have time for this” he said getting up and head towards the Kitchen. Walking in Akira ignored his uncle protest when he sled his hands all long the table clearing it off along with his uncle paper work. “I am sorry Nathen but something horrible happened so we need the table cleared” he snapped when Nathen started to open his mouth to yell at the boy. Turning around Akira run up the stair grabbing a sheet to cover the table with, Rushing back down, he laid it down upon the table.

 

Akira sat down and waited for them to show up. He jumped when he heard the door slam open. Akira aunt rushed in laying down the unconscious girl on the table.

 

Akira's granny walked in looking a little surprise of what was in front of her she rushed over checking the trap with a sighs she turned towards Akira's aunt “boil me some water, Lana” she demand looking back at the poor hurting girl that stirred in her sleep telling them she was coming through.

 

“R-Rei” come's a weak voice from the form on the table.

 

“Shh” Rei leaned down and kissed her forehead “you're safe know” he whispered.
