BEGIN PROLOGUE:

Cold wind whip lashed Sasuke's face as he kicked his feet into the sides of the horse harder; feeling the beast attack one of the mare's legs. The fog around him seemed to descend upon the land; the foreboding feeling in his heart growing still. He continued with desperation; hoping for some sort of an escape. There! He was almost in the village; he could see the lights flicker in the distance. But an overwhelming feeling of dread told him it would be too late. He incessantly tried to move faster, farther- but knew somehow he would never be far enough from what was hunting him. He felt his cape fly wildly as he picked up speed; the thick warm lining seeming to weigh him down. His thin white shirt would not protect him from the cold; the dress shirt not meant for anything but social events. Unfortunately; the event he had…..that had led him to flee from his home was not social event at all.

The horse's movement came to a stop as the mares back legs were broken, the creature deciding to crush them. Snap! Crack! The horse gave a shriek as it was lowered onto its front legs. Sasuke felt dread creep into him completely, the creature's large body descending upon his own, his cape being torn off savagely.

Sasuke bit back a groan as he felt something slam into his neck. He began to shiver, to quake incessantly. He crawled away from the creature, attempting to escape. It was futile, as the creature still followed; as though watching. He suddenly felt very cold, his body felt completely drained- mentally, physically and in other ways he could not identify with. The spasms that were raking through his body became more violent, as he slipped deeper and deeper into a coma. Was that what it was? Sasuke did not understand what it was.

The pain became more prevalent; he prayed that it would stop. Death would be merciful, but would not come. Sleep with not either; he was trapped awake in a feverish nightmare. He felt a terrible feeling around his heart, the whole world seeming to slow down. Everything was becoming blurry; the lines between hallucinations and reality becoming increasingly thinner. He bit his lip in an attempt to bottle a scream, his body's shakes stopping but his heart stopping too. He prayed for a while, nothing but his screams to break the ever familiar silence of the forest he was currently passing out in.

He felt the stab in the neck stop and released a true scream, frightening a few birds away. He felt something go down his throat, his parched body greedily accepting the liquid. Suddenly; with out warning his body seemed to become hot and freezing all at once; it was an incredibly painful feeling. He coughed up blood; his body seeming to decide to rejected the fluid. What he had felt before had quickly become nothing as he was wretched from death's hands. He felt his body shiver; his heart almost completely stopping. He raked his fingers through his hair, the world around him beginning to spin. He wreathed for a while, his body adapting quickly. His breathing slowed to a minimum.

Thump-Thump.

Thump-Thump.

….

Thump.

Thump.

His heart stopped finally, all thoughts of his previous humanity retched undesirably from Sasuke's hands. Sasuke's mind stopped reeling long enough to realize he was on the forest floor; but the incredible pain in his chest kept him and his thoughts occupied. He finally felt sleep come and accepted the peace of night calmly; as a bell in the distance rang in the midnight hour.

The creature- no; man spoke. "Right on time." He smirked, grinning at the fallen boy. He gingerly picked the boy up and began to walk back towards the castle the boy was trying to escape from. "He'll do just fine." The man smirked, his eyes coming to level with Sasuke's.

"Nighty-night, Little brother." He smirked, laying him down in a clean bedroom. The sheets rustled as he was laid down, a breeze passing through caused the windows to on, moonlight streaming through to reveal a perfectly white bed spread. The scene seemed to glow; Sasuke lying helpless on the sheets and the monster cloaked within the shadows. The only clean room in the castle; considering the rest was littered with his dead relatives. The man smiled at the boy's form, leaving the looming castle to never return there again. The man did not look back, only looking forward.

The scream that reached the village was the only thing that reached the village in a long, long while. It woke the villagers, a feeling of sheer terror spreading like wildfire. What on earth happened in the Uchiha mansion? And why was it so unnaturally quiet? So many questions; so many dead.

Review? I'm really tired, so sorry if it's messy or poorly written. It's like 2:00 am, but the idea would not let me sleep!
