Fate is a Funny Thing

       ”Please… I need to get home. Why won’t you leave me alone?”

The other children stood around the downed constellation, mocking him, all chanting the same cruel name— “Freak.”

He didn’t understand it. He knew that he wasn’t human, but why were they hurting him because he was different? The rain fell upon the bright red adornments of pain on his skin. Every time the water closed the wounds on his face, they would only continue to throw things at him, and inflict more wounds.

He layed there on the pavement, failing to cover himself and failing to hold back the tears flooding his glossy eyes. 

Between a few of the pairs of legs, he noticed another person— a child, about his age. His crying had blurred his vision, but all he could do was look out to them, mentally begging.

       Help…

                       _{❝—A monster is far worse then a freak.❞}

    _{Catlike optics stared into those of the bullies, even lower level then him. Something Leo thought was never possible seeing how he viewed himself.}  

    _{Almost as if the temperature had increased, the boy drew himself closer toward’s the pitiful human beings. Golden hues more fierce and scary then theirs ever dreamed to be. A lion didn’t enjoy to see the weak preyed upon, this of all things were unacceptable.}  

   _{Frowning, a single sharp tooth seemed to be most noticeable feature. Before it turned into a grin, an ominous chuckle arising it self. No, Leo wasn’t dark or cruel like them, he just had the desire to scare them. After all it was what  they deserved.}

   _{Within seconds, flame's surrounded  the constellation’s small figure. The heat increasing as he drew himself closer, an disgusted facial expression completing his visage.} 

    _{❝—Its not nice to pick on the weak ya know.❞ And there they ran,  like the little rats they were.}

_{And there Leo was, helping the poor beaten boy up.}
