Beginning

"Please d-don't...." The older man sobbed, his face a mess of tears and snot. He held tightly on to the mess of the person, his son became.
I stood, frozen. Staring at the dead face of the boy whose, pale skin was barely visible under the cover of blood. Once smiling blue eyes, full of mischief, were now filled with endless emptiness.
"He's not here anymore...
He's not here anymoooore...arghhhHHHHHHHHHHHH!" The old man's wailings echoed around me and speared through my body like an arrow.
... Splat...Splat...Splat...
I looked up at the grey heavens, crying...the Heavens were crying.
" It's all your fault!" the old man scream at me, " YOU DID THIS! CURSE YOU!!!YOU MONSTER! DEVIL!.... aRGHHHH....sob...sob...arghhhhhhh..ah...ah..." he began rocking on his heels, rocking his little boy to sleep...
I looked down at my hands, child's hands.
Stained with blood.
"No....no,no,no, NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! AgHHHHHHHHHHHHHHhhhhhh!" I gave out an inhuman wail as my numb feet, took me faster and faster towards the depths of the forest. I run. I run as if nothing else mattered.
      Away from the village, away from the meadow, where a father sung his little boy a last lullaby.
I ran away from it all.
But what I tried to do, was impossible to accomplish...I couldn't run away from myself...

As the old man said...I was a demon, a monster...and as I run deeper into the heart of the forest, my bare feet bleeding, while trees and bushes tore at my body, trying to slow me down, I realized that, what I just did was forbidden and unnatural...and sooner or later, Mother Earth was going to make me pay for it...

Whether I wanted it or not.

Wow. That was brilliant :O
If this is the first chapter, then well done - very enticing and the imagery is perfect, not too little and not too much.

A very attractive beginning, and gripping flow of events. I'd love to find out what happens next. Good chapter.
