Chapter 4: The Orphanage

Even though his time with them was short, Zander still felt quite sad to have to leave Misha and Sasha the two people that brought him into this world. They left him on the door step of a small orphanage, on a early December morning and hurriedly walked away: trying to release any suspicion. Zander cried as he felt the cold air brighten his cheeks. He cried and cried until the door made a subtle creak followed by a thud so loud he could feel the vibrations. He instantly felt warmer as he was swooped up into a caring embrace. As Zander looked up he saw a girl with brown hair and a brown and white dress, who looked a bit younger than Sasha, warmly smiling down at him, "It's okay, Joyce is hear." This was the first time his eye truly showed him the character of a person. He realised as soon as he looked into he bright emerald eyes that he was safe, so he drifted into a long sleep. Zander woke up and looked around, he saw a quaint little room with a bed and a cupboard filled with dresses similar to the one Joyce wore before. Analysing the room he realised that Joyce was about as rich as he was in his previous life. He also figured that she was keen on the outdoors due to many tears from presumably thorns and also splotches of dirt and mud. He also realised that he was incredibly smart and handsome after taking a look in her mirror. He was so handsome in fact that he realised immediately why his parents had to leave him. A streak of what seemed to be flowing blood ran through his hair. As he continued to look at it he saw it slowly change into a dark red horn. He backed up in the little cot where he slept as his eye throbbed. He saw the horn as it slowly distorted into it's true form: Abaddon The Destroyer.
