1 James Helnam

James grew up in a normal world with a normal life and a loving family. His parents cared for him and always got him the greatest care for any ailments, his siblings helped him and worried over everything he did. He rarely got hurt and all around him cared deeply for his wellbeing. Or so he thought...

Whenever he was off school everyone was there with him but it wasn't for him. As a young child he never noticed the symptoms on others, scrapes got ignored by him and he was the center of attention. He was oblivious to his own mirrors. His parents would be covered in identical scratched and he be too preoccupied crying about his to notice. He never knew about the affliction he caused until he turned 18.

After the usual celebrations, when the rest of the family were in bed, James was called back down by his parents. Not knowing what was wanted from him so late at night, tentatively he approached the living room.

"Sit down" his parents said calmly. They were sat in the middle of the large sofa opposite his favourite spot.

"What is it?" he asked apprehensively as he sat down.

"You know we love you more than all your siblings. We truly love you as if you were our own though your not."

"What!?" he said leaping out his seat. "What do you mean I am not yours?!"

"Calm down" they pleaded. "We raised you since you were only 6 months old but you were not born to us. A young newly wed couple gave birth to you but when strange things started happening, they went to an oracle who told them you were the 'Body link' of this generation. When they dropped you they got headaches and any time any blood was drawn from them it drawn from you to. Thinking it would help they gave you up. We adopted you knowing more than they did and feeling pity. Please don't be mad or distressed we will help you get through this"

After sitting back down he replied "what is the body link?"
