Faded Light

A Story by Yuuki

I have this on a different website but I also have this one I can put it on :3

"Grow up! You're being pathetic! Get away freak!"
That's all I ever heard in my household. From my Father, my mother, even my older brother would say those things to me. I never understood why. I was mature for my age, I never yearned for much, I don't see why I would be an outcast, maybe I don't understand myself? Maybe they don't understand me? How often do they watch me from their successful lives? Did they really look down on me that much? These are questions that run through my mind every day. But that's not everything. I have problems with sunlight, it bothers me more than the few friends that I have at school. I've always had a burning sensation in my throat. I suffer from Insomnia. What is wrong with me?

"Helena.. What's on you're mind? You seem more distracted than usual." Jake asked me. He was one of my only friends. The only one that excepted me for who I am. The one I want to be with forever...
"It's nothing... I've just been getting headaches a lot lately." I said back with a crooked smile.
"Has your throat been acting up at all lately?" He said staring at me. "Yeah..." I said looking down. "It seems to be getting worse since school started..." He said kicking a rock. "Yeah I noticed that too, weird huh?" I said staring at the rock he kicked. "Oh! I need someone to help me on my math project, you know how bad I am at math. Could you help today after school?" He asked looking up at me. "Sure!" I said smiling.
After school I walked with Jake to his house to pick up some stuff, then we would go to the place where we would always go to hang out after school since we were both in 5th grade. "Okay I'm ready. Let's go!" I said pointing to the direction we were going. "Don't forget to bring your sunglasses, you left them on the step" Jake said handing them to me. "Oh yeah." I said putting them on.
When we got there, of course, my throat was killing me. More than usual. It was throbbing this time... I put some stuff down and almost collapsed onto the ground if it wasn't for Jake. "Helena! Are you alright!?" He said sitting me up right. It all happened so fast, I didn't know what I was doing. All I know is him holding me close, then a sweet taste in my mouth. Opening my eyes I saw blood all over us while he was wide eyed and holding his neck... Had I just...Bit him?
