Stand On My Own

" Stop looking so fake. Keep this up and soon you'll be nothing but a puppet"

The pile of metal began to float. Then a shiny red orb shined in the middle of the floating pieces of metal. This lasted a min and then suddenly they all pulled together it as if the red orb was magnetic.

The huge beast cast a shadow over kella. The beast was a huge wolf-like creature but with wings. It was so huge it looked like it came from the historic times.

It let out a deep growled as it spoke. " are you, my master? Well, my heart said you meet the requirements. So who are you and by you, I'm not asking for a fake idiotic puppet" those deep words although having the last three words a little louder than the rest. It was the only thing he could hear, everything was silent.

I need to get out of here that thing is going to kill me. " I'm sorry but I didn't light your core. I'm not even a tamer. Having that said you should really go look for them I think they when that way. Anyway, I better get going, can't miss dinner, right?" Kella said with a smile as he pointed to the left.

The beast's face was now filled with amusement. " sorry my name isn't yours so I'm not an idiot. I'm gonna say this nicely keep lying to me and you'll soon be dead." the beast roared.

Suddenly Kella remembered that day a beast set his home in flames. Kella fell to the ground but stood up rapidly. He turned and ran as fast as he could. " I said I want to know the real you. Or do you not know your self." the beast questioned.

Kella made it home. Walking past Arely, who figured it was best not to say anything.

That night Kella spent some time wondering, what will it be like if Li was by his side. " no I can easily stand on my own. This is my path. Smile, deceive and never believe. The next day Kella kept these words in his head.

Before he knew it school was over. However, it wasn't Arely who was waiting for him. But a robotic beast that looked similar to the one he saw yesterday but there was a big difference, it was small. Really small compared to last time. Now it looked like a wolf with wings.

Kella thought it was best to just walk past him. Soon a while after he knew that it was following him. He stopped at an empty sidewalk near a fence. " hey can you stop following me. I don't need a stupid beast by my side. Find someone else!" Kella yelled. The beast sat down and looked up at him. His voice this time was younger but he still had the mean vibe." look all I want is to be by your side and to know "you". So why not." The beast asked. " everything comes and goes. You say you'll stay by my side but eventually, you will leave." Kella responded.

" then I won't leave and I have a name. It's Akia Chi but you can call me Akia. I promise if you stick with me and I'll show you things you would have never would have dreamed you seen. Give me a chance. Please, I changed into this form because I thought it would be easier to talk to you. I really want to know who you truly are and maybe you don't know so we'll find out together. But first, let's do this. I'm Akia Chi but you can call me Akia. What's your name?" Akia stared at him with a smirk? Kella looked at him and let out a sigh." you're not gonna give up. Well fine just temporary. I'm Kella and things are best done when we do them on our own." Kella added as he started to walk away.

" don't worry I'll see about that. It's Summer-break so we're gonna start new and true. Oh and from me first welcome to the world of kemono.".
