Fan Fiction ❯ A Childhood of Darkness ❯ Chapter 4 ( Chapter 4 )

His head spun and the world around him stained black if for only a split second. He sat up wincing at remembering how sore he actually was .”Look at this,” he whispered” why is it I can't make it go away.”

He clenched his fist angrily enough to wear his nails cut straight through the soft flesh beneath them .He felt like crying yet a burning desire for more… payback. But what could he do he was all alone in this world and no one would help him. Except for that annoying demon like spirit.

He huffed. What could it really do? It didn't have a body or weapons and he was sure his father could easily wipe it out.

Those words they rang in his head violent flashes ruptured through the walls of his mind death and blood in every crack of this place they dare called home. Sometimes it was too much the want, the need, to make them feel what he had…still what they were doing…Was it really for this asset ? He didn't know ..

A sudden chill ran down his spine and clench his eyes shut as it sent pain through the wounds on his body. He knew it had to be infected those sharp edges, yesterday , had been stained heavily with a brown rust

He was already sick enough but if he acted because of hate would he. .be like them? Like the one he never wanted. To be his father.

He shivered just thinking about it he held onto his hair weeping to himself. What if he became the monster they said he would? How could he possibly know what they had in store for him. The calendar … it marked the 21st of September just 2 more days and it would fall upon his 6th birthday. What a day that was going to be..

Taking in a breath he straightened himself up wiping his face off with his sleeve then collapsed. His body yelled at him from the inside pain was not a beautiful thing. It needed food, warmth, and even more help. His body had been abused long enough it was then he remembered the promise his father had given him.

“Six years of this and it will over … and you will be cleansed Vicious.” A smile that had not been shown to anyone but shadows beamed out. He chuckled holding his aching sides.

“ I can do this I know I can just two day …. Two days then I will be able to prove I am a proud Guardian mother and father will be proud of me!” His elf ears twitched in bliss sheer joy. For sure things would change in a few days.

The question now simply this: What would be around that point?

He held out his hand and let a small rat crawl upon it. He watched it groom it's face and clean it's fur. If this small little creature could survive a place like this surely he could to.
