Day 18: The Kelpie [Hyori Tono]

Kelpies always frightened you when you were a child, and it was one of the reasons why you grew to be very wary of horses. You couldn’t help it really, some were even huge in build that intimidates you away from seeing them.

Then you came across him, Hyori Tono.

At least that is what he called himself when he was human, despite his seemingly kind profile you always made sure to keep your guard up when around him specifically. Yet he was so persistent when it came to you, he almost followed you around like a lost puppy, a puppy is what they called him but you saw him as a shadow. One that could leap at you at any moment, and drag you into the deep darkness of the abyss.

You can still remember the day he found you near the horses, the first time he saw your vulnerability.

“What are you so afraid of? They’re practically gentle giants”, he smiled as he gave a kind laugh.

You could only frown as you asked, “Have you heard of Kelpies?”.

Your question drew his interest, you don’t know why you asked at the time, but perhaps it was because somewhere deep inside some part of you knew he wasn’t entirely human. Maybe the real reason you asked him such a question was to draw something out of him.

You can still remember the way he shuffled his feet for a moment before leaning on the fence, he looked so relaxed and his mask of interest truly fooled you at the time.

“Aren't they water spirits in the shape of horses?”, he asked so convincingly. 

“They are also said to lure people to their deaths, you see, ever since I heard the tale of the Kelpie I can’t help but be scared of horses, even if they are said to be gentle”, you said as you walked away from him.

Perhaps that was why you went to him after the disappearance of several colleges, news went about their disappearance, and when the search party was conducted you did care who you were set with. Admittedly that was your mistake, but one of the missing persons was dear to your friend who was part of the family, so with little regard for your own being you went with him.

No one could really blame you though once he lured you close to the waters, he had you cornered as he made you an “offer”, if you could call it that. He’d return everyone back, so long as you went with him, a selfish part of you didn’t want to, you were absolutely terrified of what he would do to you. Yet you thought back to your friend, maybe if you were a little more self centered you would’ve ran away to call off the offer he oh so graciously made you.

But you weren’t, which is why the moment he dragged you in the water, you thought that this was the way you were going to die. It surprised you that you were even alive when you woke up, but it was unfortunate that Hyori held you close.   

Even still though, you were scared of him.

He was a kelpie after all, the thing you feared since you were a child.
