Found You

Aberdeen City, 16 years ago

The young Ansel rushed past the shrubs and trees, ignoring the cuts he was suffering along the way.

However, he accidentally stepped on overgrown roots and tripped. 

"...ouch…" He mumbled, little tears forming in his eyes. 

His feet hurt, his arm hurt, and his leg was bleeding. He tried to drag himself but he couldn't go even a few centimeters.

Little Ansel couldn't help but sob. He was so useless, he couldn't even walk…

And what about that girl? She was only an inch bigger than he was, and she was a girl…

Shame enveloped his young body, and yet he couldn't do anything about it. 

He could only cry like he always had, sniffing, rubbing his snot with his dirty hands, making his face even dirtier and more pitiful.

Then, he heard rustles from the bushes, and his fear was exacerbated. 

He stopped breathing and covered his mouth with his small hands to be sure, closing his eyes in fear.
