-POV is our Hero-

I woke up in some kind of orphan home at the age of 7, in an abandoned city unknown to me, the only thing I realized was that the city center called "Griffonstone" is not far away and it gives me nothing.

I don't remember anything that happened in the past (except for the nightmare that I had), the only thing I have is the name "Feel" and a strange crescent-shaped pendant around my neck, I don't understand from where and from whom, but I feel much calmer looking at it

I have already been living in the orphan home for 3 years and they are quite unsweetened

At the orphanage, everyone avoids me, either because of my appearance, or because I can't utter a word. But I look quite strange, white skin with black spots on my legs and arms (as if I am a Dalmatian), eyes have pupils like cats with a red tint and long hair like pitch black that close my eyes, the more I think about my appearance, the clearer the reasons for avoidance become me

I was dressed not for beauty, but for the need to cover my body. Long leaky black pants, black leaky socks (fortunately my spots cover them), a black hoodie fortunately or unfortunately it was too big for me and that's it
My days at the orphanage are not quiet. Where to start? So from the fact that I wake up every morning ... "LICE"

"HEY freak, wake up"

...wet. These freaks constantly bully me, as if I'm a toy to play with, and she won't do anything

"Hey, you three, stop it"

And then she came up, who was the only one who took care of me, Fizzlepop Berrytwist. A young girl at the age of 14, even for her age, she has a pretty athletic body and is tall (5,6), she has dark purple skin with red-pink hair in the form of a mohawk, eyes with blue irises. She was dressed better than me, she wore dark jeans and a tight white T-shirt (which hugged her shape and musculature quite well)

When she approached, three hooligans immediately ran away in the hope of not being caught

"Damn them, sooner or later they'll get what they deserve." Looking at me with her apologetic eyes full of regret, she began to apologize

"You forgive me, again, I again did not have time to stop them in time. I hid a bucket from them yesterday, but they got another one somewhere. Okay, go wash your face, and I'll go check that you eat a normal meal today"

I nodded gratefully, gathered up my clothes and toothbrush (yes, I need to hide it) and went to wash, despite the fact that I was already washed.
On the way to the washroom, everyone avoided me, which is not surprising. When I reached the door, I was abruptly knocked out at the threshold, which caused me to fall heavily. He was standing at the door, the one who was in charge of all this False Faith. He was a man in his 50s, 5,8 feet tall, face full of wrinkles, with blue eyes and white hair. He was dressed in a white and long robe with yellow lines. He has one peculiarity, he always smiles kindly at everyone, but there is one thing, and that's me, only I see his real face and character, the only thing he feels for me is disgust

"Oh, who do we have here?" immediately on the machine, he pulls a smile on his face, but when he sees me, he immediately shows his real self "And this is you! If I knew, I wouldn't stand on ceremony" he steps aside and begins to radiate an evil aura "You know, something tells me that you don't have long left in this shelter" when he left, he looked at me again out of the corner of his eye "and believe me, we will remember this moment well" and leaves the opposite side

I got up shaking off the dust and go into the washroom
After a short procedure, I return to my room to re-hide my toothbrush "It seems they found it after all, because the aftertaste is disgusting", after a short minute I hid it and went to the common dining room "She must have been waiting for me a lot"

In the dining room, my only friend, a Fizzlepop, was already waiting for me, she was sitting at the table with two trays, one of which was already empty

"Oh, there you are! And I already thought that you were trapped somewhere by these hooligans again" I rolled my eyes that I amused her mood "Okay, sit down, come on, or else everything has already cooled down"

I sit down at the table and start eating not tasty porridge with lumps. She sees it and starts cheering

"You do understand that you have to eat it, right? I won't let you not eat. Do you remember that the last time you stopped eating, you lay in bed exhausted all week and you were an easy target for bullying"

I remember it perfectly and that's why I promised that I would have breakfast all the time, yes, breakfast because lunch and dinner are just slop

"Okay, while you're having breakfast, I have not pleasant news for you" she did not pause for a long time and continued "I'm leaving the orphan home"

After these words, the world seemed to stop around me, I didn't know what to think about. I felt panic and resentment from her. I understood that this was also a very difficult moment for her, I put my hand on hers and smiled as gently as I could, fortunately she took it in return and smiled

"I understand that this is a very difficult moment for you, but I'm glad that you took it so easily. You see, one family wants to take me away because they liked me, but I believe that someday you will also be lucky to find a good family
After a long silence at the moment when I touched the food, it made itself felt again"

"Let's go to that lonely maple tree again after lunch and for the last time? I want to hear you play for the last time"

I knew that it was very necessary for her and so I nodded

"Agreed. And you know, I have prepared a small gift for you" smiling, he gets up from his seat, takes his tray with empty dishes and smiles at me for the last time
When she left, a rather gloomy shade formed on my face. I didn't know what my future would be without her support, without her protection, without her smile. She was like an older sister to me

Soon, remembering False words, "You know, something tells me that you don't have long left in this shelter," does he really understand that he can't do anything to me with her, and therefore he wants to get rid of her faster in advance because I'm an easy target.
While I was thinking about it, there was no one left in the dining room. I decided not to finish my portion and decided to finish my breakfast with a couple of slices of bread and leave as if he wasn't there

In this shelter, I learned to be inconspicuous, as if I never existed, but it doesn't work if I'm touched. And at this rate, a couple of hours passed before lunch

13:00

I'm already sitting at the table with a tray of food, or at least what it represents, it's not the first day I've been living here, and therefore I'm having lunch with bread dipping it in the muck, calling myself soup.

At the entrance to the dining room, I see my friend and try to wave my hand to make myself felt. She notices this and starts to quickly pick up her tray of food and walk in my direction

"How are you? Nothing again?" laughing at his answer, realizing that he won't hear an answer from me "Okay, are you ready to go to our place after lunch?" I nod in response "Good"

Eating quickly or pretending that I'm eating, we leave the dining room in a place and leave the shelter and go to the nearest forest and not even imagining what awaits us there

A mysterious figure watching this couple leave also quietly disappearing into the darkness "You will never forget it and I hope that I will not see you again"

Somewhere in the forest

A young boy and a young girl quietly and continuously reach their destination avoiding holes and dense bushes
After a couple of minutes, the couple reached a dark clearing where a single ray of light illuminated a lonely maple tree that gave a peaceful atmosphere

"Here we have finally reached" said the Fizzle and sitting down next to the tree "Well, let's get out your instrument and play for me"

Without thinking for a long time, I sit down next to her and take out a homemade flute and start playing a melody that I do not know, but just do as I feel

So a couple of minutes pass until she interrupts my melody with her tears, and I stop playing and try to cheer her up with my touch

"Do you remember how we met?" I nod without thinking for a long time and begin to remember this moment as if it was yesterday

2 years ago (8 years)

Today I wake up from the cold water that poured so well on me during sleep

"Good morning to you freak hahaha" these freaks are laughing "I want to remind you we will stop when you say it to him, but yes they scored, you don't talk hahaha"

I'm used to such an alarm clock, I get up and go wash my face. When I'm done with this, I start hanging up my bed linen to dry.

Having finished doing this, I go to breakfast to be hungry again. Taking my tray and sitting down in my seat, I start picking and drawing faces on the porridge It didn't last for a long time until compote poured on my head

"Don't forget to drink hahaha" said one of the hooligans and put the glass next to me
At that moment, new emotions, never seen before, began to play in me, where anger was the key, my heart was beating very hard, I bent my spoon beyond recognition. I knew nothing but anger and revenge

"Come on, take revenge on them" a voice in my head spoke "You want to give and understand what fear means, what it means to be helpless, make them beg for mercy" this female voice did not subside, but only kindled a fire in me only more
I made a sudden movement, looked at her with my bright red eyes. I remembered her name was Gilda, a new girl, perhaps it was her ordeal in the rite of initiation into the ranks of hooligans. I slowly backed towards her

"what? So brave? Okay, let's check it out" for fun, she swings to hit me, but before she gets hit, I catch her hand and squeeze it sharply. She starts to bend down from the pain "Hey, you freak, stop it, it hurts me, how can you
Before we finish, a girl of about 11 stops us"

"Well, stop this farce or you will both be punished"

I abruptly release her hand and recall my actions. I started to panic, I was rolling my eyes between them, "No, I didn't want that. I accidentally" I thought. I started to cry and the only thing I could think of was to run away from this place and far away.

And I ran away from the place seeing how one rubs her hand in pain, and the other tries to stop me

But I didn't want to stop, I ran into the forest that was next to the shelter and stopped only next to a lonely maple tree.

I sat down gasping from the wild pain in my chest, tears were oozing from my eyes "I didn't mean it, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry," I said to myself. From the wild stress, the only thing I could do was play a reproachful song. I tore a leaf from the nearest branch and instinctively put it in my mouth, and with a feeling that was not clear to me, I began to play a sonorous, but repulsive song

This went on for several minutes and I didn't even notice someone else's presence next to me

"Do you play well on the sheet"

I accidentally ate a leaf of a tree from a sharp compliment and started coughing as if I was suffocating

The girl, looking at such a picture, abruptly ran up to me from behind, took hold of my stomach with her hands and began to press hard on them. Soon the unfortunate leaf came out of my mouth and I fell to the ground greedily gulping air

The girl who helped me, sat down by a tree and from the fulfilled duty, relaxed and closed her eyes

Two minutes later she asked me a question

"Well, you give, you almost moved your skates from some leaf" she opened her eyes and looked at me "Why did you run away? You didn't do anything wrong, you were just tired of being bullied" I kept silent "sorry, but I can't tell you anything" "Why are you silent, did you swallow your tongue huh" I nodded "Oh."

She paused, trying to find the right words, but I felt that she was uncomfortable.

Having decided to stop inconveniencing the girl, I decided to leave

"Hey wait, where are you going?" I didn't listen to her "I say stop" and again I started to move away "Well, you didn't leave me a choice"

She abruptly got up and ran to me without giving me a choice to leave. From a sharp impulse, we fall together into the grass, so I ended up at the bottom, and she was on top. And our eyes met for the first time

She froze at what she saw, she couldn't take her eyes off my cat-red eyes. This went on for a few moments and I heard the answer that struck me and forgot how to breathe "You have beautiful eyes" this phrase echoed in my head. When she said that, she blushed, as if she had unknowingly made her comment
She abruptly got up from me and stuttered and began to apologize"That's it, y-y-you're s-s-sorry, I-I-I don't expect you to be angry" the first time I heard someone apologizing to me

"Somehow we didn't start right. Let's start from the beginning" she got up from her knees and continued "Nice to meet you, my name is Fizzlepop Berrytwist, my friends call me Fizzle. What about you?" not knowing how to answer, I took the nearest stick and wrote my name on the ground "Feel? So be it, nice to meet you Feel"

Our days

Remembering those years, tears came to my eyes. "Today is our last gathering at the tree," the cutter flashed through my head, and I won't see her again

She seemed to notice it and gently put her hand on mine

"I know how hard it is for you, I feel it too, sooner or later it would have happened" she sat closer to me and abruptly removes her hand from mine "Oh yes, I almost forgot, I have a gift for you"

From her pocket she takes out black glasses and a hair band "I know these are small things, but it will be a small reminder of me" puts these things in my hands and gently kisses me on the cheek "This is all I can give you and I hope that in the future we will see each other again" and she smiled at me tenderly

I didn't want this moment to stop. But suddenly a growl began to be heard from the bushes, we looked in that direction together with her to see a big bear walking in our direction there

I froze in fear, my legs didn't want to move, I didn't want our lives to just go in vain, but then I see her hand and hear "Run"

I didn't immediately understand what she was saying, but then she started shouting "RUN FASTER, I'll detain him"

I didn't want to leave her, but instinctively my body started to get up and run away in the other direction

"No," I thought, "I don't want to leave her."

"No, you can. She's just a pawn" said a voice in my head "Don't worry, you'll have dozens of them in the future. Your main task is to survive"

"Shut up. I can't leave her, she's like a sister to me, and they don't leave their family." The angry voice wouldn't shut up until I heard a loud scream from that tree

I started running back in a panic, overcoming my limits, I wanted to get there in time. Along the way, I stumbled and caught unpleasant branches with my face

When I got there, I saw a terrible picture. I saw blood, her blood. I see the bear coming up to her, and she closes her right eye, "She's bleeding, she's injured." At that moment, I was overcome with rage, my eyes began to glow with a dark blue light, I no longer understood what I was doing, I wanted only one thing, to protect her, to save her

I approached with superhuman speed between them and with a sharp movement I grab the bear by the mouth. This went on for some time, until black tentacles appeared from my body that captured the bear like a rag doll and threw it out of sight of the forest

When I did this, I immediately looked at her, at the Fizzlepop, but I did not see any emotions of happiness or anything like that in her, I felt only one thing Fear, she was afraid of me. And the last thing she could say before losing consciousness, she said in a whisper "a monster"

I was shocked, I was shocked by what she said, I didn't want to believe

"I told you, she didn't need you, she was playing with you, she didn't care about you"

"Shut up" was the last thing I wanted to hear

I walked up to her, picked her up in my arms and went back to the shelter

When I reached the building I decided to leave her at the door, ring the bell and run as far as possible. When the shelter disappeared from my view, I felt something wrong, I look at my pendant and see it has a crack "Not for good"

In the shelter

When the medical nurse was called to provide med. With the help of one of the girls, at this time the Head of the orphanage

"He's finally gone, I hope I won't see him, this little boy poses a real threat not only to the orphanage but also to the world. I hope he dies there somewhere"
