Liyito

London, 1800`s, a small child was cast into the streets after it was no longer wanted by her parents. Having to see the hardships of life in an environment that frowned upon the less fortunate like herself, she learned to live by herself. She always struggled to find the bare necessities, sometimes going months with no roof over her head, but all of that she learned to overcome, except for one thing: food. Always scavenging to make do, she had forgotten how it felt to be full and satiated years ago, constantly craving for something to make her not feel those constant stomach pains everyday she passed without sustenance, to not suffer any more hunger, but all of that changed one fateful night.

A new theater was opened, and that caused a lot of wealthy and highly important people to gather to see the newest shows that there was to offer. The little girl knew this and found an alley where she could beg for food. Of course, she was lucky if anyone would even consider looking her way, let along give her anything, but she continued to beg none the less. She occasionally gazed upon the people that passed by, how pretty they went dressed, and one person in particular caught her eye: a tall, lean and pale gentlemen, dressed from top to bottom in fancy luxurious clothes, but none the less, she continued to beg. The hours passed and the day became night, and with the night, came back the stomach pains, but trough her suffering she heard something. 

A loud noise, very loud, like a bullet being shot, then following that, a scream, and then after that the whole theater started to empty itself of people screaming. She paid no mind to such things, murders where no news for her and no concern for her at that time. After a few minutes, she saw someone running towards the alley she was sitting on: it was the tall gentleman, with a face of pain while he was holding his left shoulder, but she continued to pay no mind, until he saw her, and with a face of defeat, he rushed towards her, garbed her and bit her in her neck, and before she could react, he was gone, followed by a group of strange people armed to the teeth. almost immediately as she hit the floor, she felt it, a pain like no other, a suffering with no equal, she felt like her life was escaping her, and she was not strong enough to get it back, weak enough to not being able to even scream. She died shortly after.

After a few minutes passed, her lifeless body stood up as if nothing even happened, her skin as cold as ice and her gaze without a soul. She stumbled at first, but found her footing rather fast, but the world around her seemed different...or was she different? One thing was for certain and as clear as the full moon that filled the sky that night: she was hungry. As she was walking through the alley, her nose perked up, she smelled something so succulent, so delightful that she couldn't contain herself, and followed the smell to a group of people, and they all looked so...so...tasty. She lounged on the nearest bystander, and proceeded to bite and suck as much "red" as she could, but it was not enough, she needed more sweet and tasty red, so she stopped biting and started maiming and tearing, tasting every little bit and peace she could get her hands on. It only took her a few minutes to turn that person into a pile of viscera, but she didn't care, she needed more. 

After a few minutes, she noticed something odd, something inside of her was telling her to visit someone important, someone she needed to meet at all costs. She eventually made her way into an old abandoned church, inside of wish, in the inner most chamber, was lying someone familiar: the tall gentleman, lying in a broken chair, panting heavily. “Oh, it’s you” he exhaled painfully “I knew you’d come eventually, please help me, I need your assistance to get rid of those pesky hunters”. She didn’t answer, for she was having an internal struggle in that moment. One part of her wanted to obey, but the other, was hungry.

Eventually she started moving towards him, and then in his still weakened state, she proceeded to tear him apart and feast upon his flesh, after wish, came another agonizing pain, even stronger than before, but this time, it didn’t come from her neck, but from her entire body, and soon after, her hair turned white, and her eyes red. After the suffering was over, she stood up, peacefully and gracefully, with a surge of strength and a will to live once more, for she had attained access to the one thing that eluded her for all her life: food. The hunters didn’t last long before the found the gentleman’s hideout, but she managed to take care of them with ease, enjoying each ones last breath.

She taught that she needed a new life, a new beginning, so she searched, stole some clothes from the bodies she found, and found a book on one of the desks nearby that she liked the name of, and decided to use something similar as her new name, for she had none before, and from that point on she started her new life, not having to suffer ever again.
