Insanity

“It’s her!!” They yelled as I walked toward the village I called home.

“Get away, you demon!!” They yelled as I stepped closer and closer to the edge of the village.

“What am I to you guys?” I asked as I hit the forcefield around the village.

“You are crazy! Maybe, even insane!” An old man said as he looked at me.

My eyes twitched and into a full out rampage. I destroyed homes, lives and statues of ones that I used to love. I’m sorry I get a little ahead of myself when I tell stories. It all started when I was a hatchling. I was found and raised by the Elves of the North. They set me free from my egg and I took my first breath. They raised me and my brother. Years passed, as I noticed behaviors that were normal for them seem off. This world Arabis, my brother, and I live in is... weird. I sneezed and star dust came out. I watched it float to the ground and I squealed. I stood up off the slab of rock and walked over to an elf we called Mama Helga.

“Mama Helga!! Mama Helga!! I sneezed and I think I understand what I am to be!” I yelled as walked into the kitchen to see Arabis holding a ball of light.

“I am so proud of you, Arabis. One day, you shall be known as a protector of this world.” Mama Helga said as she smiled at Arabis.

“Hello, Dark One. Sleep well? You look like a deer staring at something dangerous. What do you want?” Arabis asked with a tease.

“Leave me alone, asshole!!” I snarled as night came quicker than normal.

My body shifted and changed into a Draginocous. I ran to my room and slammed the door. I started crying as I sat on my bed and looked at my claws.

“Can I come in, Dark one?” Arabis asked as he knocked on my door.

“N... No. Go away!!” I snarled as he opened the door.

“I was just teasing, sister. I didn’t mean anything by it.” He said as he walked over to me.

“Follow me, please.” I said as I hopped off the bed and the sun started to rise again.

We walked over to Mama Helga and Father Dezzy. We sat down in front of them and they noticed us after a couple of minutes.

“What is it, dear ones? Did you two have troubling Night Terrors?” Father Dezzy asked as he stood up and smiled at us.

“Yes, dear kiddos. What is the trouble?” Mama Helga asked.

“How can you praise him more than me? Is it as simple as, you two see me as Night and him Day? Tell me the answer.” I asked angrily.

“What? We praise you as much as we praise him.” Father Dezzy said as he looked away from me.

“So, it is that!! I knew it. Ha... Haha... Hahahahahahahahahahahaha!!” I said then laughed as I looked at Father Dezzy.

″Are you alright, sister?” Arabis asked as he touched my shoulder.

I looked around and saw a knife nearby on the kitchen table. I walked over to it and picked it up. I smiled as I spun the knife in between my hands as I walked slowly toward them. Father Dezzy and Mama Helga watched me as I got closer and closer. I swung at Father Dezzy and it sliced his arm. The fresh cut started to seep blood and I swung again but Father Dezzy blocked my attack with his arms.

“Why are you doing this, Star Light the Insane?” Father Dezzy asked as he held my wrist that had the knife.

“I have to. It is the right thing to do.” I said as smiled and kicked him backwards.

It made him let go of my wrist as he step backwards a few steps. This was my chance to make things right. I laughed and stabbed Father Dezzy not once, not twice but 4 times. My arms splattered with blood and all over the knife. I held my head to the left and turned around to look at Mama Helga. I started walking toward her as she screamed. I stabbed her immediately in the leg. She stopped screaming and she started crying as she asked me a simple question.

“Why? Why? Why?” She asked in between her sobs.

Then, there was pounding at the door and yelling. They finally busted through the door and they pointed guns at me. I held Mama Helga and Arabis hostage.

“Let them go, Star Light!!” Chief Heath said as he looked atraight at me.

“Why should I let them go? I have already killed one. They liked my brother better than me!!” I asked with a snarl as I put the knife to Mama Helga’s throat.

“Drop that knife, Star Light. You are delusional. Just drop the knife and all will be well.” He said as he stepped closer.

I sliced Mama Helga’s neck and she dropped to floor as the blood rushed from her wound. I dropped the knife and started laughing. They tackled me and put cuffs on my wrists. They stood me up and walked me out as an ambulance appeared right outside the door. Chief Heath got in on the driver side. He drove the car to the prison which was a 12 hour drive and stopped at a gate.

“What is this place?” I asked as I realized what I did not long ago.

“This is The Penitentiary for Hybrids that commit serious crimes like what you did.” He said as the gate opened and he drove the car through.

“Please, let me go. I... I won’t do it again.” I said as I watched the gate close behind us.

“You murdered Dezzy Heldorat and who you call Mama Helga is in serious condition. There is no other place for you.” He said as he parked the car and got out of the car.

I laid on my back and kicked the passenger back window until it shattered. I climbed out and took off running. I opened my wings and started to fly upwards when I stopped moving upwards. I looked down to see an inmate in pink and another nearby in orange. She yanked me down and I landed on my belly as the one in orange grabbed my wings and tied them together. I fought them until I saw Chief Heath’s boots. He grabbed me and thanked the two inmates.

“Ugh!! I hate hybrids like you!!” He said as we walked into a building and he threw me forward.

“What? Escapees like me? I will find a way to escape this place. Just you wait.” I said as i bowed up to him.

He pushed me backwards and had some women inmates change my clothing. I recognized one of them as the one that yanked me down. I pushed her backwards and into a wall. I slipped on a slippery spot in the shower and fell face first onto the floor. It knocked the breath out of me.

“Take it easy, psycho.” The one in pink said as she walked away from the wall and stood me up.

“Back off, punk!!” I snarled as they finished putting black clothing with red lining and a metal collar on me.

We walked out and he put me in a cell. I stayed there for a few years before they would “let” anyone visit me. They took me to the visitor’s area and I saw Arabis.

“Didn’t you come to see me, dear Brother of the Light?” I asked as my eyes lit up.

“Back off, sister. I came to bring the news to you about Mama Helga.” He snarled at me.

“What about that stupid bitch?” I asked as we sat down at a table.

“After you sliced her throat, she held onto life for another 3 hours. Then, she died and you ended up here. How much longer will you be here for?” He said as he looked at me with sincerity in his eyes.

“I don’t care about her. Go away, brother.” I snarled as I stood up and tapped a cage door.

He stood up and watched me.

Before I left the room, I said, “I will be in here for another 100 years for killing officers and inmates for fun.”

He watched me walk away and he left after I was out of his sight. For next 100 years, same routine, same food, same old, same old!! Finally, the day I leave arrived and I walked out like I was normal. I knew I wasn’t insane, but they kept saying I was. It’s alright. I gathered my weaponry from the house I grew up in and took off toward the village nearby. That is where my story of Insanity started from there on. Now where was I? Oh, yes. I remember now.

“It’s her!!” They yelled as I walked toward the village I called home.

“Get away, you demon!!” They yelled as I stepped closer and closer to the edge of the village.

“What am I to you guys?” I asked as I hit the forcefield around the village.

“You are crazy! Maybe, even insane!” An old man said as he looked at me.

My eyes twitched and into a full out rampage. I destroyed homes, lives and statues of ones that I used to love. I grabbed a single doll and stroked it’s lavender colored short hair.

“You are next, my dear Iris!!” I snarled as I walked away with the flames behind me.
