2 Childhood

The place is London, 1867, in one of the worst houses in all of London's slums situated at the ends of the slums, where only the poorest live in there is a beautiful woman unbefitting such a dirty surrounding giving birth

Her long golden hair, slim waist but not too slim, perky breast, big butt, and wide hips, cupeled with her gorgeous face, for the average London man she would be like a treasure which he would safely keep in a vault, even the rich would desire her but couldn't get because of their status, besides that her beauty was always obscured by the dirt that ACC accompanied like an old friend

But to her husband, a scum of a man who is worth worthless the common street rat she is nothing more than a tool to vent his frustrations on be it sexual or physically violent, which lead to the current predicament where the woman is birthing their children all battered and bruised but the midwife pretends she didn't see anything, in the slums scenes like this, are common just that the wife is less beautiful

"Aaaaaah!" With a mighty last cry, the woman pushes for the last time before she mentally collapsed and fell silent but instead of the room getting quieter because of her silence it only got louder as now 2 baby boys have taken her place in crying, yelling and screaming

The midwife roughly took the children into her arms and splashed them with water, if the brownish substance can even be called water before wiping them off with a rag that is dirtier than clean smearing the babies in dirt and handing the two babies to the mother, who is not disgusted in the least by such a scene

"Congratulation, they are 2 healthy baby boys, the one on the right came out first." The midwife said looking at the woman with sympathy for being so pretty yet having such a husband, sometimes beauty is a curse and not a blessing, before excusing herself out of the door leaving only the husband, the wife and the babies alone in the room

"Oi, you whore, I will be giving you a day off before you are going back to work, can't have you collapsing while you work." The man said while taking another chug of the unknown alcohol in his right hand, getting even drunker than he already is before he also exited the room not caring about his wife nor his newborn sons

"Fufufu, my baby boys, sorry mom couldn't give birth to you in better circumstances, I hope you grow up big and strong. The one on the right, the older one will be Adam while the one on the left, the younger one will be Dio." Said the woman while keeping a loving look on the boy's tiny bodies before she and Dio slowly fell asleep together

'So this is our mother, man how the hell did Dario get such a woman?' But Adam was still wide awake looking at his mother's peaceful sleeping face, which quite surprised him since babies are supposed to see murky in the first few days, besides that while he was in the womb he overslept everything but looking at his mother peaceful face Adam knew that this isn't going to last long, she would die when Dio and Adam are children prompting Dio to loathe his or rather their father even more

'Now that I think about it Adam Brando doesn't go together at all! Haiz lets just sleep for now.' And soon Adam fell asleep with turbulent thoughts and just how Adam fell asleep in the blink of an eye with turbulent thoughts 8 turbulent years have also passed in the blink of an eye and currently, Adam and Dio are beating up a group of children

How did this come to be? Well for that the story of the past 8 years of the boy's life have to be explained so time for an epically long flashback

The first 3 years were normal, their mother's name is Isabella and she works at a factory as a worker, which is a low paying but very dangerous job but that's considered normal in these times

For Isabella, it is even more dangerous than normal since she has to carry around 2 babies with her, constantly dragging her down and limiting her movement

Sometimes there was no normal food or clothing so Isabella would steal from anywhere to get them clothed fed truly a mother with boundless love for her children while Dario is just an asshole who pays no attention to them and when he does pay them any attention most likely to insult them

But when Dio and Adam came to be 3 years of age their father Dario started putting them to work as much as possible so that he has more money for booze

They would carry letters, scavenge, steal, whatever they could do they would do it because if they didn't bring back anything home they would be beaten black and blue by Dario, even if they brought something home he would still beat them and spend all the money they gathered on booze

Besides that when they first started working they were often bullied and beaten because of their good looks so Dio and Adam had to quickly learn how to fight and adapt to different situations

It was unfair, everything they found or worked for was always taken away, they saw murders, backstabbing, fortune, and misfortune, it slowly shaped Dio and sharpened Adam

The only redeeming grace in this life is their mother Isabella, she is a kind hearted individual that loves Dio and Adam to the very core of her being often taking more of the beatings Dario gives so that Dio ad Adam has to take less or eating less when there is no food so that they could eat

Adam also found out why Isabella even married Dario, apparently Dario raped her one night and she surprisingly got pregnant with Adam and Dio, she decided to raise the children but in these times if a woman tries to do something like that alone it's no different than a death sentence and no man would accept a woman who already has kids so this is more of a forced marriage than anything

That's how life continued until 3 days ago when tragedy struck and Isabella died from an accident at the workplace, she apparently collapsed from exhaustion into some dangerous machinery ending her life, and all of this is the fault of Dario who made her work more and more each day

But to Dario, this was like any regular day, he gave Dio and Adam the beatings of their lives with no remorse and made them continue to work their asses off, he didn't grieve about losing her neither did he feel remorse about what he has done

That's what made Dio's hatred for Dario rise to whole new levels, that's also the reason why Dio and Adam can be seen beating the shit out of other children and stealing their stuff, they needed that stuff in order to survive under Dario's iron fist and they were soon finished since they have done this a lot of times like a lot of times so they are quite familiar with what to do

"Let's go, if we don't collect more Dario will beat us." Said Adam as he looted all the people on the street of any of their valuables and belongings that can be sold, besides that he used their rags to wipe off any blood that might have gotten on to him in the fight

"Brother do you miss mother?" Suddenly Dio asked from behind Adam, thru the years Dio and Adam have formed a very strong relationship with one another to the point where if Adam told Dio to jump off a bridge Dio would jump no questions asked and Adam knows Dio very intimately from Jojo and from his experience with his so this question came as a surprise

"What kind of question is that? Of course, I do but before we can worry about the dead we have to worry about our survival first." Adam said, he felt more attached to Isabella than his first mom, honestly, she was a bitch, but what is gone is gone and there is no turning back time so Adam doesn't think too much about it but it did surprise Adam that Dio would ask such a question, it is very much unlike Dio

"Brother, I miss mother, I loather our father and I hate this world! Why did this happen to us! Why is this world so unfair!" Suddenly Dio broke down crying on to the ground, groveling and hitting the floor with his fists, it seems as thou he had a psychotic breakdown after their mother died

Adam was bewildered for a second before he remembered, Dio is just a child and it's these experiences as a child is what shaped him into the person he was as an adult a psychotic breakdown is considered nothing unusual when it comes to Dio later in the series

"Listen here, Dio. This world is cruel and unfair to take all of what you can from this world, I don't like to say it but Dario's saying is correct take this world for all it's worth. I am the only one you can trust, us two brothers are the only ones who can truly trust each other with our lives without hesitation. I won't ever backstab or betray you." Adam went next to Dio before he lifted him up and hugged him, he didn't even care that all of Dio's snot and tears fell on his robe the price of a single dirty rag is nothing compared to the worth of a brotherly bond with Dio

Besides that after 8 years of bonding and going thru hardships together Adam came to truly care for Dio and regard his as his brother, it's natural if you spent 8 years together with anyone there would be a bond that will appear

"Yes brother," Dio said as he gripped on to Adam's shirt, and just as Adam tried to lift Dio up and move away he noticed that Dio's legs gave out and that Dio couldn't walk from the emotional impact he just experienced

"Really what will I do with you." Adam smiled before taking Dio on a piggyback ride thru London trying to get more money together, at this moment to Adam Dio isn't the psychotic maniac from the show Jojo he is just his little brother

'Brother, I will do anything for you, and one day I will give you a better life.' Thought Dio as he watched Adam picking up coins on the street in order to ensure their survival with determination present in his eyes

4 years later Dario Brando died from 'natural' causes, of course, that's just a rouse what actually happened is that Dio poisoned Dario to death while Dio and Adam are now in a carriage heading towards the Jostar family

'It's the beginning of the Jojo trilogy.' Though Adam as he watched the scenery thru the carriage window
