She ran, squealing with laughter, long silver hair waving in the wind. She wore a knee-length light blue gown and was barefoot.
Her brother ran after her, beaming, and tapped her shoulder. “Tag, you’re it!”
She smiled, giggling.
“You’re getting fast, Starlight,” Bolestrole commented. “That’s good. Your training is coming along, at least with speed.” He turned. “All right, you two! I’m coming to find you. Starlight, go hide.” He walked off, leaving the girl to find a place to hide in and looking for his other two sisters. A flash of pink--he smiled. “Come out, Sunset. I saw you.”
A little girl with long, pink hair and pink eyes, wearing a pink, knee-length gown came out. She was smiling.
“Good hiding, but you should learn to camouflage a little better.” He patted her head. “Stay here.” He walked on, looking hard. A flash of yellow. “Silv, come out.”
Now a little girl with light, light blond hair and light baby blue eyes came out of hiding. “Hi,” she said, laughing. “I hid.”
“Work on your camouflage, too.” He smiled. “But good job. All right, Star! I’m coming to-” a scream. Starlight! He turned and ran back to where he had left her. She came into view slowly, but someone was standing in front of her. He got there and sighed. Kartwer, his other sister.
She’d pushed Starlight to the ground, hard enough Star had cut her hand open. “You’re pathetic! You can’t do anything right!” she yelled.
Starlight’s silver eyes met Bolestrole’s deep green eyes and she jumped up and ran to Bolestrole, jumping into his arms, holding onto him.
Kartwer turned, eyes dark and angry. “And here comes big brother to the rescue! As always.”
“Leave her alone, Kartwer.”
“What are you going to do, Bolestrole? Run to daddy again?”
“Yes.” He turned and, taking Silverstar’s hand into his. “Silv, take Sunny’s hand.”
She did.
“Let’s go get Daddy.” He carried her through the heavily wooded area until he reached their mansion, then ran up the stairs to the front door and through the house until he found his father. “Dad, Kartwer’s picking on Starlight again.”
A frown on his handsome face, silver eyes narrowed, he looked at his daughter’s teary face and lifted her from Bolestrole. “Again?” He looked into his daughter’s silver eyes, silver eyes that only she had inherited. Her eyes matched his perfectly. She was the only of his children that had gained his eyes. She also had inherited his ability of stars and wind. Since Starlight had inherited his Stars, she had been born dead. Only one person could use the Stars at a time. If two people can, then one of them has to die, but Junsei had given up his power over stars so she would live. Since she was born dead, she was different. She craved blood and could mess with souls and bodies and minds. She was . . . Junsei sometimes thought it was like Starlight was the living dead. She drank and lived off of blood, could devour and change and unbind souls and could completely consume someone’s powers.
Her powers were also extremely unstable because of this. Strong and unstable. It was why Junsei and Khris had decided to put Starlight through early training. Starlight was part of a group of triplets. She, Sunset and Silverstar were triplets. Silverstar and Sunset both were much weaker, with none of Starlight’s unique abilities. Kartwer was the weakest of the children. She had Khris’ light brown hair and blue eyes and looked more like Khris’ mother, which meant Kartwer wasn’t very pretty. Her nose was slightly too large, lips thin and pale, cheeks square. She wasn’t ugly, just more plain.
Starlight, Silverstar and Sunset were all very beautiful children. They looked more like Junsei’s grandmother, except for the hair. They each had very unique hair that was all their own. Starlight was the only one with those special, silver eyes. It made her powers all the more strange. She drank blood at least three times a day and if she went longer than that without blood, her crimson lips dulled in color. She also gained abilities and power with every swallow of blood. Junsei often wondered if she could gain Bloodline Traits or if that was beyond her power.
He also reflected on how a man like him would be blessed with such a bountiful family. He loved his wife and loved his children, Bolestrole and Kartwer included. He saw Bolestrole as his son. Starlight, however, was definitely his favorite. Maybe it was that she had gained his eyes whereas no other child had. Those eyes were a mark of status, even now that he was away from his Clan.
Another thought that often went around his mind was he often thought about how his old master would love to have such a unique girl. He would love to experiment on her, use her abilities to his own advantage. It scared him. Junsei knew that if he ever found out about Starlight’s abilities, if he ever found out who Junsei really was, he would be there in the flick of a wrist. He would not waste any time getting to her--nor would he waste any time in killing Junsei. Running would not be an option, not now, and he knew that. He knew that if he found out about Starlight, he would not stop at anything. Running wouldn’t help because he would follow. They would be on the run. He could not put his family through that. They wouldn’t survive it.
It was something Junsei often had nightmares of, his old master finding him, taking his daughters while he was powerless to help.
If he was completely honest, he loved Kartwer, but he didn’t like her. He didn’t like anything about her. He loved her because she was his daughter, but that we where it ended. Kartwer was four, Bolestrole was nine and Starlight, Silverstar and Sunset were eighteen months old. They could walk and talk and even run very well for their age.
It was something that Junsei took a lot of time to do, teaching them how to defend themselves--especially Starlight. She needed to know basic self-defense in case he ever came to get her. He would go after her and Junsei would be damned if he got her! He would not allow that to happen, even at the expense of his own death. He would do anything he could to keep her out of his hands.
“Starlight, do you remember what I told you?” he asked, bouncing her slightly.
She shook her head.
“You’re my little girl and you are by no means a failure.”
“Kartwer says I am a freak,” she said quietly.
“You aren’t a freak.”
“And that I’m pa-path-”
“Pathetic?” he asked.
She nodded.
“You’re not pathetic or a freak or a failure. You’re my baby and I love you more than anything.” He kissed her forehead. “Now go and play, baby.” He knelt and let her go, hugging the other three. “I love all of you and nothing will change that. Go play.” He shooed them off.
Starlight ran off quickly. There was something in the air that she didn’t like, something that had started when Bolestrole had carried her to father. It was something that said bad things were on their way. She looked up at her brother, around at her sisters, frowning. Something was wrong. Something was coming. She needed to find Kartwer. “Brother, Kartwer.”
“What about her?”
“She’s gone.”
Bolestrole shook his head, smiling. “She’s not gone. She’s probably hiding with some of her stupid friends.”
Silv looked over at Starlight and she knew that Silv felt it, too. Something was wrong.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Days passed and Kartwer didn’t show up. A search was held, but nothing turned up. While Junsei was out searching, he ran into someone he thought he’d never see again. “What are you doing here?”
“I came to warn you. What is the name you are going by?”
“I’ve adopted the name ‘Junsei.’”
“Okay, Junsei. He’s on his way. Some girl named Kartwer came to him and told him all about your daughter Starlight.”
Junsei’s eyes widened. “Kartwer betrayed her family.”
“Kartwer is your daughter?”
He nodded. “Yes.”
“You cut your hair,” he said, looking at Junsei’s now shoulder-length black hair. It was tied in a ponytail. “It’s growing back.”
“How could she betray her own family?! I spoiled that girl! I can’t believe she would do this! Does she know what she’s done?! She’s condemned us all to die!” He ranted for a few minutes, unable to really believe she had done this. “Why would she . . . Kartwer, why?” His eyes were burning with rage and tears and fear. “Where is he?”
“You have two hours, at most. I was sent ahead to find you.”
“Thank you for warning me. I appreciate it very much.” He turned and ran back to the house. “Starlight! Starlight! Get over here!”
Starlight immediately ran to him, eyes downcast and lips trembling.
“You’re not in trouble, baby, don’t cry. It’s okay.” He lifted her up, hugging her close to his heart, tightly. “We’re all in trouble.” He carried her through the house, looking for the hiding place he’d constructed for just this day. He knelt and opened the trick, hidden door. “It opens from the inside, Starlight, like this,” he showed her how, “and this little peephole right here--” he showed her the peephole on the inside of the door “--it cannot be seen by the outside. Keep an eye out and do not come out until your mother or I come and get you, understand? Do not come out until then.”
He hugged her close once more, kissing her forehead, her cheeks, her hands, then hugged her again and set her inside the little hiding place. He felt his eyes tearing and he held them back, eyes burning and itching. His heart was aching because he knew this would be the last time he would see his baby. “Goodbye, Starlight,” he murmured, reaching in to kiss her forehead for the last time. “Don’t come out until it’s safe.” He shut the door, locked it and stood. “Goodbye, my daughter.” He pressed his hand to the hiding place and put his energy around the little place, adding a layer of protection to both the hiding spot and his daughter. A single tear fell from each eye, hitting the floor. To his ears, as tuned in as they were to his daughter’s heartbeat, the splash of the tears was unbearably loud. He turned and walked away quickly, looking back only once before he left the room.
Starlight, inside that tiny, confined area, curled into a ball. There was pain in her heart that told her that was the last time she would ever see her father. Her eyes were blurry with tears and her head and heart both ached. She watched her father through the peephole until he was gone, then turned from it and curled into a tight, small ball, crying silently. “Daddy,” she whimpered softly. Minutes passed, or hours, until she heard anything. Excited, she looked up, glancing out of the little peephole, but all she saw was a man in a long, black cloak, completely hidden, and her mother.
He was hurting her, Starlight could see that. Khris was screaming, trying to run from him, but he was too fast. He caught her and Starlight heard the horrifying crack of her neck a second before her body fell to the floor, hitting hard and loud enough to muffle Starlight’s whimper.
The man looked up and she cupped her hands over her mouth, closing her eyes and not moving a muscle. Minutes passed and she opened one eye a slit and he was gone. She eased closer to the door, looking out, trying to find him. He was nowhere to be seen, but she stayed inside the little area, holding her breath to listen at times. Finally her curiosity got the better of her and she opened the door and silently stepped out, toward her mother. There was blood pooled under her head, which meant she had died of something more than a broken neck. Nauseas, she backed away quickly, tripping over something. She scrambled to her feet, turned and ran, as fast as she could, to get her father. She looked in every room until she finally came across her parents’ bedroom. Easing the door open, she peeked in.
Junsei lay in the middle of the room, eyes wide and glassy, blood soaking through his clothes, hair strewn beneath him.
Her eyes widened and she froze, unable to move. “Daddy?” she whispered, creeping to him. She shook his shoulder. “Daddy?” There was no response when she lifted his hand. His hand was cold. Dropping his hand, she jumped to her feet, backing away again, then spun and ran from the room, down the stairs and out the front door. “Big brother!” she screamed. “Brother!” A sickness was sinking in on her, one that would not be easily ridded of. She knew that nothing would ever be the same for her again. “Big brother!” she yelled again, at the top of her lungs. When that got her no results, she yelled for her sisters, even running back into the house to their shared room, but there was nobody there. Tears were decorating her face now, eyes wide and sight blurred, long, silver hair falling around her in tangles.
She dropped to the middle of the floor, body heavy, unable to move. Nothing in her world made sense now. Nothing but one thing. This was no longer her home. There was no life left for her here. She had to leave. She stood, ran to put some clothes into a bag and walked from the house, a new kind of determination hardening her to something unrecognizable.
Hours, or days, later, she was still walking. She was tired and hungry, but she would not allow herself to rest. It had been a long time since she had blood and her lips were becoming white. She needed to find blood soon or she would parish.
Voices--to the left of her. She turned slightly, dropping her bags, listening. They were camping. Her stomach growled and she crept closer to the sound of voices slowly, carefully, until a woman and a man came into her view. They were kissing. She came out of the brush, looking up at them.
The woman saw her first and she pulled away from the man, smiling. “Well, hi, there little girl! How are you?” She knelt in front of her. “Are you hungry? Where are your parents?”
Starlight studied the woman, opening her mouth slightly to taste the air. The woman’s blood tasted nasty so she turned to the man, but he had the same sweet quality. She shook her head. “Thirsty,” she whimpered.
“Wow, she’s really colorless, isn’t she, Lena? She’s like a ghost,” the man said.
“Don’t say that, Aeryk! You might frighten her.” She smiled at her. “You’re thirsty, huh? Come on, hun. Let’s get you something to drink.” She stood, walked to her tent and went inside. A moment later, she came back out with a cup of juice and walked to her to give it over. “Here, baby.”
Star sniffed it, unsure. She needed blood, not juice. How would she get blood? Thirsty nonetheless, she downed it quickly, then yawned.
“Come on, baby, let’s get you down for a nap. Then we’ll find your parents.”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The scent of blood awakened her and she yawned and stretched, sitting up, eyes opening. She looked around and her eyes widened. Around her, the entire place had been wrecked. The man and the woman were missing and she didn’t know where they were. She stood and walked around, finally managing to find them not far from where she’d slept. Their throats had been torn out. The taste of blood became strong in Star’s mouth and she touched her lips, feeling dry, crusted blood around her mouth. Horror and shock filled her.
She had killed them. She had destroyed this place--it had all been her!
She backed away quickly, refusing to look around, and without even worrying about finding her clothes, she ran as fast as she could, the feeling of horror still filling her with disbelief. How would her father react, knowing she had killed someone, knowing that she had brutalized someone like that? How would her mother react? Finally she stopped, worn out from crying and running, at the edge of a pond and looked in, studying her reflection. She had blood caked over her mouth and chin. She cupped her hands in the water and scrubbed at the blood, revealing crimson lips. Yes. She had been the one who had done that. She had killed that nice couple.
“Starlight, is that you?” an unfamiliar voice said from behind her.
She stood quickly, eyes wide.
A man stood from her, a few feet away. He had blond hair and green eyes, was tan and tall, a bit thin, but looked strong.
There was something about him she instantly didn’t trust.
“I knew your father, Starlight. He was a good friend of mine. He would want me to look after you. Come, child. You’re safe now.”
She wasn’t sure what to do, what to think. Did he really know her father, or was he lying?”
“Your father worked with me and a few other people for a long, long time, before he became the man you know now. Come on, Starlight. We must leave this place before the man who killed your father finds us. If we don’t, we’ll be in a lot of trouble. Come, girl.” He took a step toward her, reaching out.
Someone yelled, “Don’t touch her! Starlight, run!” and she turned and ran, running straight through the shallow pond. It never reached above her knees the whole time she went through it. She looked back and saw another man fighting with the blond man, but she didn’t stop or slow.
A few minutes later, she was hauled into someone’s arms. It was the man who’d told her to run. “You’re safe now, Starlight. Everything will be okay.” He was running with her easily, smoothly. He had light brown hair and blue eyes, just like her mother had. “I’m your uncle, Lios. You’ve never met me, dearest, but I’m your mother’s brother. I have been searching for my sister for a long time and I came upon the village and saw what had happened. There were pictures of five children, not just the one I found. I knew that there were four other children, but I couldn’t find them. I know your name because of the picture of you with your name painted across it. I’m sorry everything happened as it did, Starlight, but I’m here, now.” He ran in silence for a long time before he came to a small house. He knocked.
An older man came to the door, a man that looked a lot like Lios. His eyes met Star’s instantly. “Where’s your sister?”
“Khris is dead, so is Bolestrole and Junsei. Starlight is all I could salvage. She’s your granddaughter, father.”
He studied her, blue eyes lit with a strange glow. “She’s a beautiful young thing, isn’t she?”
“Father, be nice. You promised you had changed your ways.”
He nodded. “I have, don’t worry, son. I’m just saying. She is beautiful. She doesn’t look much like Khris or your mother.”
“No, she doesn’t. She looks more like her father, especially those eyes.”
“You sure he wasn’t part of that Clan with those eyes? Oh, what was it called . . . Uh, started with an ‘h’?”
“He said he wasn’t. Father, take Starlight in and watch over her until I return. I don’t know how long I’ll be gone, but I am going to search for the other three children and the man that murdered them.”
The old man took her. “Yes, Lios. You do that. We’ll be here when you return.” He backed into the house, shutting the door, and set Star down, studying her. “You’d get a nice price, wouldn’t you?”
The urge to back away from him filled her, but she fought it. She had killed two people. She could certainly do it again.
“We have to get you fitted for clothes, then we’ll go somewhere safe, somewhere nobody will ever find us.” He turned away. “Yes, that is what we shall do. Okay, it’s settled.” He faced Star again, eyes wild with excitement. “Starlight, you’re going back to your family’s homeland!”
Years passed and, though Starlight wasn’t treated well, she did continue on with her training. She trained herself mostly, sometimes finding other people to train with, but she wasn’t getting the training she wanted.
Her grandfather had brought her to a very bad place where she had no rights. If anyone found out she was learning to fight, she’d be put to death. Women had few, if any rights. She was supposed to be married by the time she was twelve and she’d been beaten and starved and sexually abused. She was tired of it.
Like her father had years before, she waited for the night where there was no moon in the sky and it was dark as coal out. Her eyes, inherited from her father, made everything look as though it was daytime. She wore a black cloak to hide her shining silver hair as she crept silently on her stomach through brush and trees. Not a sound came from her as she quickly made her getaway. She had been planning this for a long time now and she’d done enough training to know she could handle anyone in her way.
Once she was far enough away that she wouldn’t be seen, she stood slowly, looked around, and continued onward. She hadn’t brought any of her clothes because they were all disgustingly revealing, especially for a four-year-old. She knew where she wanted to go and she would not stop until she reached her destination.
