Hope's POV
I stare out my window. I remember hearing screams from a house as I walked by last night. I was scared. More so for the person in the house than me. But i did not want to get caught up in that. I was supposed to me in my government home at all times. My parents wanted to keep me away from stuff like that. But I wanted a taste of the real world. It called for someone to help it. They child in house need help too. Even if he is a Nekko he still deserves help. Nekkos aren't treated fairly. They are beaten or raped. Lied and betrayed to. Nekkos are half human half cat. In other words hybrids.
I beg to go for a walk. I want to go by the house and see if the kid was ok. "Please mom!" I say on the verge of fake tears. I don't ever beg for things like this unless it means a lot for me. "Please." I beg." But to my dissmay she says "No. For the last time. It's too dangerous out there. You're too young and innocent." She says. "Mother. I am 15. You keep me inside like I should not see the suffering but I have eyes. Windows. And friends. You can't isolate me." I snap. I turn away. I was going to find him. And help him. "Get your ass back here miss." My mom hisses. "No!" I say. "It's for your own good!" She says. "No! It's not. They are suffering. Kids are abused. Beaten and bullied. And we don't go crap. We just worry about the rich. Why cant you see. It's not all about us." And with that I left the house. I turned down each street. Left right. North west south east. I arrive. The screams have vanished. I knock on the door. A man. He looked about his early thirties. He did not look sober at all what so ever. His hazel eyes were crazed. He had blood on his shirt and hands. Some fresh some old. He reeked of sweat and whiskey. His blonde hair all messy and he held a half full scotch thing in his hand. "Whaddya want." He spat. "N-nothing. I just came here to see the boy who lives here." I say timidly. "Alec? Oh no you got the wrong house. He doesn't have any friends." He slurs. Yep. Drunk. "I just want to talk to him." I say. "Fair enough. I don't care what you do with him. Just take the brat out of my hair for a bit." He slurs as he takes another swig. "ALEC GET YOU ASS DOWN HERE THIS INSTANT BEFORE I BEAT YOUR FACE IN!" He shouts. I wince at the amount of hostility. I hear a slight cry of fear and watch as a boy about my age walks shakily down the stairs. He winces every few steps. And freezes once he sees me. "W-who is t-th-at?" He asks in a quiet unsure voice. His eyes full of fear and pain. He was all bruised and cut up. Dried blood on his shirt a black eye and some scabs. He was sweating. The hound teen was pale and scrawny like he hasn't eaten in ages. The cat ears and take told me he was a Nekko. He had hazel eyes like his dad but far less cruel and crazed. They were asked over with fear and pain. They were blood shot as if he were just crying. His over all look was cute. He had light brown hair. It fell over his left eye perfectly. His small human yet cat like nose scrunched up. He was in a defensive position. He looked tense. Always expecting to be attacked. Alec had a tiny size. And when I said scrawny I mean skiny-jeans-look-really-baggy scrawny. And that's bad.
The young child shook as he passed his what I assume is his father. The the man slapped him as he walked out. The child winced. But the tension grew less as he made it out the door. He looks back happily because he does not have to hide in his room I guess. "S-s-so wh-what d-d-do you wan-t?" He seems so nervous. Shivering and shy. Anxiety I guess? "I heard the screams last night. I just wanted to make sure you were ok I guess." I laugh at my stupidity. "S-sorry for co-concerning you m-ma'am." He whispers. He looked down. Tears rolling down his face. "It's ok." I coo. Hugging him, he flinches at the sudden contact. Sadly I can't do anything about this because he is a Nekko. I wish. But I can't. Sadly. He relaxes into the hug. Sadly government people can't marry low class people. And you're not aloud to marry Nekkos even if he/she is. Higher class. So this is a definite no right here.
He father called him in. I was on my way home. Mother stood at the door. A hint of worry in her eyes. She sees a few drops of blood on my shirt. "Oh good lord what happened to you?" She paled. "Nothing. I went to check on a abused child. You know. Starved beaten sexually harassed sort of thing." I say. "Sweetie why is there blood on your shirt? Did he hurt you?" She was so concerned. "No. I hugged the child so he felt ok. He has had no love his whole life. He needed a bit of kindness. And he had a open wound. It bled a bit. If you saw how he looked you would instantly want to save him. But you can't because he is a Nekko." I say. Mother shakes her head disapprovingly. "Don't talk to the big again. Nekkos are evil. I will have him be put in jail for touching my daughter." She growls. "No. It was my choice. I could have just walked by. But i wanted to make sure he was ok. You can't arrest him. They'll treat him worse. And... I kind of like him mother." I say the last part quietly. "You moron! You can't love a Nekko. They betray. They hate and hurt. They will slip your heart in two and kill you with out a second thought." She cries. "Just don't fricken think about arresting the poor child. Give him a break. He has feelings too. In fact we ignore them. And their cries for help." I say. I am pissed as hell at my mom. And I have every right to be. This is like you guys(gals) and racism. Not all of you think that way but some do. [Sorry couldn't leave the fourth wall alone]
I lay awake at night. I thought about what and why my mom was hiding stuff from me. It just made no sense. Why? Sooner or later though I drift off to sleep.
