FLESH

I was off a bar walking home, when a group of strangers circled me in an alley, they brought out their guns and knives and told me to give them all I have. I looked at them and said, I'm sorry I only have $10 with me here and my phone. Then, one of them told me “are you joking with me right now and I told them you picked the wrong person to rob this night and if you can't take what Ive got then please leave me alone. As silly as I was, I saw a fist coming up and then he punched me and they all gathered to beat me up. As angry as I was, I got up as fast as I could, because Im fast and I grabbed one by his neck and tore out his skin with my long canine teeth. Yeah I know what you guys are thinking, a vampire right? Actually, NO Im more of an upgrade. One I hate blood and two I feed on skins (flesh) that's how I survive. Im more of an advanced reptile. A red eye, long teeth, tongue and sharp claws. Lets go back to my beginning. Yeah, that was about three thousand years ago. I was just a baby when this couple found me in a forest in a basket looking so cute and hungry and without anyone coming to claim me, they took me in and took care of me. They were loving people. When I was 13 I started experiencing long nails, every time I cut them the next hour they just grow like I didn't do anything to them. I didn't know what it meant so I just got tired of it. A week later, my parents called me and told me how they found me and how I was not there biological kid. I was speechless and angry but not at them, they told me the truth so I was grateful for that, i was just angry because I found out that the parents I looked up to were not mine, so I ran away to the forest i normally go to whenever I wanted to be alone and I just sat there crying and then I heard this noise coming from behind me and decided to look and saw this huge lion devouring a deer, I got frightened and I hid behind a tree, I looked again but this time I wasn't scared anymore I just got drawn to a smell, I knew the smell was coming from the deer I just don't know what it was, i waited for the lion to go then when it went away I got out from where I hid and tried to run back home, but I was curious to the smell so I went closer to the parts of the remaining deer, I felt this itch to get closer and then I touched it's blood drawing it closer to my mouth I tasted it then I spat it out because it tasted so bad but I still felt the itch to something and decided to eat his skin, I knew it was insane to do so but I couldn't resist and when I did I felt this sensation, the feeling was so good it felt like I had been renewed. It felt amazing so I went for more and couldn't stop, when I realized what I was doing I backed away and ran home, when I got home I was shivering, lost but feeling strong like never before then I heard my mum's voice call out my name.. Nathaniel she called, then I went to her she told me she knows how I feel about finding out the truth and that she wished I will always see them as my real parents, then I hugged her and told her that she will always be my real mother. I felt it again that feeling of hunger and l**t towards her, I found out where the l**t was coming from. From her skin, I was drawn to it as she hugged me so close I couldn't stop myself, I tore off her skin and ate it seeing how scared she was and hurtful I didn't mind I couldn't see anything else apart from her skin. Crying and pleading me to stop I couldn't, then I felt something growing inside of me, my canine teeth as they grew longer and my nails, I could see my tongue growing as long as it shouldn't, my skin was flawless. When I realized what I had done to my mother I cried saying how sorry I was but it was too late she was dead. I couldn't believe I did that, angry at myself and what I did I tried to kill myself too. So I made a deadly potion for myself and I drank it, then I fainted. I woke up realizing what happened i thought i was in hell but i turned around and saw my dead mother still there, I figured maybe I didn't make the potion well, I had to try something else I picked up a knife and stabbed myself with it straight to my heart I felt the pain but nothing happening, I found myself healing back I did it again and again and again but nothing still, I tried burning myself still nothing, I tried a lot of things but nothing. I knelt down crying looking at my mother and hating myself for what I did, I couldn't stay, what will I tell my father what happened to mother he won't believe me and he will think I did this to her because of the truth. So I took pieces of her cutting every part of her body in a small size so it will be easier for me to bury it without anyone realizing it. After all that I cleaned the blood watched everything blood related and had to leave and come back later so he won't realize anything. When I came back later I meet him, he hugged me knowing that I was okay and asked me if I was with mother and I said to him, NO that I haven't seen her since I left and am just returning now, he was glad I was okay and said maybe she went out looking for you and will soon be back, I told him I will be going to bed now, he said goodnight that he will wait up for her. Feeling down and ashamed of myself I cried throughout as my father was waiting on my mother who would never return, I finally had fallen asleep.
