"I'll start you guys off easier. The earliest thing I can remember is that I was born in Cape Cod Massachusetts, I had a dad and an older brother Griffin. My mom left when I was a baby leaving me with my dad who soon remarried to a woman named Jennifer." I said. "Do you want to know what my name means?" The kids nodded,

"Yes!" They all said. 

"My first name Aslan is a Hebrew prayer word, and it means Dawn. My middle name, Jade you know that's where I got Jade's Rehabilitation Home from. It's like the jewel." I said. 

"What happened next?" Jack asked. 

"When I was 6 Griffin joined the army, he went to Iraq. You guys know Max, he served with Griffin and they became best friends." I said. "When I was 7 it had been a year at that point, I was on a Little League team....."

"And I was r@ped by my coach." I said. When I said this, everyone's faces dropped. 

"At only 7?" Sally asked. I nodded,

"Yup, and when I got home, my dad immediately knew. We reported him, his name was Carter Wilson, but since he was so popular the Police didn't believe us. My dad then told me, if it happened again to ask to be paid." I said. 

"Boo!" Isaac yelled giving a thumbs down. 

"After I was *ssaulted by him several more times, I took my dads gun and shot him dead, I was 8." I said. 

"Your story is worse than I thought." Josh said. 

"It gets worse, just you wait." I said. "The Police investigated his house, found his body and bodies of teenage boys in his basement. The Police didn't arrest me, because I was 8. The situation soon became the talk of the town, and Cape Cod is small so the word got around fast. My dad was gonna send me to live with his sister, but I ran away. I was soon found by men who trafficked kids for pr0stituti0n." 

"Oh my god you were like me." Ethan said. I nodded again,

"Yup. I was sent to work a child s3x trafficking establishment called Club Cod, it was disguised as a restaurant. It was owned by the Mafia boss Dino Golzine, who's house we are actually living in." I said. 

"So we're living in a gross p3do's mansion?!" Oliver asked. 

"Yes." I said nodding. "While working at the restaurant I was basically learning how to seduce old guys. Keep in mind I was 11 years-old. I was your age Josh."

"I soon caught Dino's attention, and he basically kidnapped me. I lived here with him, was educated by in various different ways, not gonna be specific, and I was trained as a member of the upper class. Which is a reason a valid reason to why I don't touch red wine." I said. "I also drank wine the night I shot my best through the heart, so no." 

"At fourteen-years-old I was all over the place, every time Dino tried to hire a teacher, either I seduced them, or they got all up on me first. It was mostly my fault though. This leads into the story of how how I met Blanca, you guys know him, you guys love him actually." I said. "Dino hired him to teach me, of course." 

"They found me literally right after I was *ssaulted by my math teacher who was hired one week prior, one week, just one." I said. "More about Blanca, he was the first person in my life so far, to actually hold me without being a creepy p3do. He also saw me and comforted me after I was violated by Marvin, you'll hear more about him later and how he died because he was around for a while." 

"I hated him, and I did not know him for very long." Eiji said.

"That story is coming soon." I said. "Blanca taught me where everything vital was, and how to properly handle weapons." 

"That's cool." Sally said. 

"Fast forward one year, at 15 I was sent to Juvenile Detention for killing three people." I said. "And that's when I met Shorter. He was assigned to protect me basically." 

"What else happened?" Evan asked. 

"Me and Shorter started out distant then got closer. There were two gross dude, Ricardo and Frankie. People including me called Ricardo Dick-hard-o." I said. The older kids chuckled. "The were basically both after me, Ricardo liked me s3xually and Frankie was told me kill me by another gang member named Arthur, you'll see more of him too. When Frankie wasn't doing anything I made a move on Ricardo forcing Frankie to freaking do something." 

"So you basically had s3x with Ricardo?" Jeremy asked.

"Yes." I said nodding. 

"Damn!" Isaac said. 

"WHAT HAPPENED NEXT!?" Everyone yelled. 

"You guys should not be this anticipated." I said. "Frankie tried to kill me when I was by myself in the Library, I beat him obviously. Me and Shorter became closer, best friends actually. More on Shorter later, he was such an amazing person. I wish he was here for you guys to meet him, he wouldn't understand though, he wouldn't even recognize me." 

"That's besides the point, I'll explain later. I'm continuing the story now. Fast forward one year, I found Griffin in an old run down hospital used for veterans from Iraq, he was injured and unable to walk so I decided to take care of him. At 17 years-old I became a Gang Leader, gained control over all of the downtown gangs." I said. "That's an accomplishment I'm proud of." 

"Aslan." Josh said looking at me, smiling, but his eyes said, "I was r@ped by a gang." 

"Oh god sorry!" I said. 

"It's okay. I'm fine now." Josh said. "What next?"

"Now we're getting into more serious stuff now. One day I was walking by myself through an alleyway when I encountered a person that was crawling. He didn't look well, in fact he was covered in blood. I kneeled in front of me and he handed me a small necklace with a vile like thing on the end of the chain."

"He told me an address and two words before he died, "Banana Fish" and that phrase was nothing new to me, I heard it all too often. It was the only Griffin said to me after I retrieved him from that hospital." I said.

"What happened to him in Iraq?" Jeremy asked. 

"That's what I was trying to find out. And you will find out what happened when I tell you the story, but I will tell that later. The next morning I went to Dino's mansion, where we are now." The kids looked around. 

"And it's still the same ugly purple." I said making a face. "We need to replace the roof. Anyway, I ran into Marvin who was at the front door." I sat for a minute waiting for someone to say Boo, or gross, or disgusting fat white pig. Eiji got the memo and said,

"Ew!" I looked at him,

"Thank you." I said. 

"Keep telling the story." Ethan said. "We know how bad Marvin is."  

"Okay."
