Chapter 1

I've been hiding under a thin white blanket, my only possession,a fragile hope of mine.I've been hiding,not from the people they don't care,but from the freezing winds which can find me under this thin white layer.

As I heard the whispering of fallen leaves,I drew the blanket off my face and glanced around the world in front of me,I was horrified as if I'm a precious stone who's threatened to being stolen.My eyes travelled to the only tree which had leaves on its brown, strong branches,when I got here but now there was only one leaf left.I felt as if that leaf is just like me,all alone in these haunting woods.Is it better to die than to live alone?I don't know.That leaf must miss it's family,which fell before it's eyes,but at this point we aren't the same.I've no family,as far as I know,the one I had was just a big lie(as if something is even true in this world).My mother left me in the hands of a person who's thirsty of my blood.

I moved my face from the tree's direction and my eyes fell upon my dusty hands,fingers covered by crimson lines.I stroked my brown,dusty hairs off my face.

"He never even tried"I whispered satisfactorily to the fallen leaves beside me, I was right that the person I believed to be my father, never cared,I smiled as I admired the cruelty of fate.

I felt a faint pain in my chest and the smile disappeared,I realized two tears came streaming down my cheeks.I picked my face and stared at what lies in front of me,only brown and orange shades came as my sight was filled with tears of loneliness.

As I dropped my lids two tears issued with warm traces but they never streamed down my cheeks as I swept them off as I had swept the people from my empty life and as they have swept me from their whole lives.My vision became clear but I felt dizzy.Those brown and orange shades became clear as the nude trees and orange leaves on the ground.If only I could do a single thing I would paint this dull picture with green hue of my eyes.

I had felt so proud that I was his son,so blessed when I stood beside the man I once called father.This is a funny world one moment you're a part of them but the other moment you don't belong to then at all.

As his face came into my mind my jaw clenched and I felt a stingy pain in my right side jaw.I cursed the night I ran so miserably that I tripped over that log in these fucking woods and got my leg broken and jaw scrapped.When I ran away, thou miserable,I was still determined that I could do anything as long as I'm over my own legs,I don't need anybody but the second I tripped the hope vanished as I felt my left leg bones scattered.

A blow of breezy wind hit my bruised face, my sharp features hissed in pain and I hugged the blanket more closely. My eyes fell upon that leave again as if it was a lonesome,living soul like me in the woods I dwell in now. That leaf was my last hope that winter was still away but everytime cold air hit my face I felt even more hopeless.

I was admiring that leaf when a cold liquid fell on my bare foot. I glanced over my foot and saw melting snow over my ankle. My whole body shook uncontrollably as I shivered under the thin blanket.My eyes widen as the brown,orange surrounding started to be enslaved under the cold white snow.My eyes darted over that leaf yet again but my heart ached as I didn't find it there.My last hope fell and left me crestfallen for ever.

My vision went foggy again this time not with tears but with a white haze.A voice travelled through my head 'Drew it's snowing let's make snow angels'. It was Bale's voice, the only soul I found to be worth loving.

I woke up with a start with dying pain in my broken leg as if a tree fell upon my leg.I hissed and saw a pair of boots, my eyes travelled from it's owners neat and luxurious clothes to his face. I cried "Bale"with hope but as my vision came into focus I found that he was not my brother but a sharp faced man with his haunting black eyes boring into my green ones. He leaned towards me and picked me up by my dirty tunik collar and forced me to stand on my broken leg. I wanted to do something as anger boiled in every fibre of my body but couldn't in the state I  got myself into.He read the hopelessness on my face and smiled triumphantly showing his teeth white as the snow falling from the sky above.

"Atlast I found you, you little filth.I'm no Bale.You killed him."

I stared into his black eyes with confusion but couldn't say anything as his muscled arm came travelling near my face and his stone fist hit me hard at the left of my face. Everything went black just one voice could be heard. You killed him!
