He sat in the cold dark dungeon. The spider's he had long since grown use to. But his thoughts were not on the dungeon or the spiders. Instead they were on hope. She had left a few months ago. But he thought about her often. He wondered if she went with the man she use to talk about.

Hope knocks on her father's bedroom door. "Father." She calls tenderly.
"Yes. Come here child." She goes and sits on his lap. "Father. When I was with the other man. There was a boy thrown away was his name. He said he wanted to come here if he could. And Father if there's a way could you help him? For me?" Father pondered this a moment. "I'll tell you what I'll see if 8 can do anything. I'll tell you when we sit down for dinner tonight." Hope shook her head and gave her Father a hug before running off to play.

They all say at the dinner table. Father cleared his throat. "Everyone hope has come to me about a boy she meet with the other man. She asked if I could help him as I helped her. And we'll hope I'm going to the man's house tomorrow and you can come with me. We'll see what we can do." And so the next morning hope got up and dressed then prepared a small lunch for her and father. And hopefully the thrown away. When they pulled Infront of the house hope clung close to her father. Father knelt down. "Don't be afraid hope. I'm here. He won't touch you. I promise." Hope felt more secure but still clung close.
Father knocked on the door. And no other than the man himself answered.
"Agape." The man greeted sourly.
"Malice." Father greeted. "We're here for a boy." Malice looked behind Agape to see hope. "What's his name?"
Hope stepped forward. "Thrown away." Malice turned and yelled. Soon thrown away stood in front of them. Him and hope exchanged a hug. "It's okay me and Father have come to help you." Hope whispered into his ear. "Hope you two go wait in the car." Father didn't break eye contact with the other man the entire time. Her and thrown away quickly went.
Father came later and they drove away. "Thrown away I'm going to call you brought near." Brought near light up at this. "Thank you sir." Father laughed. "Don't call me sir just Father." Brought near nodded. "Father thank you." And that is how brought near came into the ever growing family.
