F.A.L.L.E.N

Chapter 1 (Leo)

"So Leo, you are fully aware why you are here today, correct?" The lady with a odd smiling mask, wearing a red trench coat asked.

"Yes yes, be quiet.." I said while rubbing my temples. This was nerve racking and a lot more stressful than I thought it would be, I never did think I would have to do this though.

"Where do I begin? What would you even want to know? My past? My crimes? Maybe even about her?
Whatever it is, get it over with. I have a life to you know, even if it's messed up beyond repair." I looked the woman in the cold dead eyes of the mask, pitch black as the night.

"This will be as quick as you make it Leo. How about we start at the beginning of this whole mess?" She said, I could sense the caution and pity in her voice. I never understood why people would pity me or any of us really.

"Alright, I suppose it all started back when I moved into that village.."

The area around me went grey, and slightly foggy. Infront of us now is a small house with light blue paint and a black patchy roof, off to the side is a small garden growing many varieties of plants, some I don't even know of. I walked inside and looked around, I was in a living room with the kitchen off to the side. While there isn't anything special here, in the kitchen is where the real magic is. My father is a tea maker, he loves to travel and collect all sorts of things tea related even tea sets.

I head to the kitchen to see my mother making some pasta and chopping some herbs.

"There you are silly! Dinner will be ready in about half a hour!" She said to me.

"Alright mom! I'll be back by then! I have to go meet some friends!" I smiled and quickly ran out of the house.

"That boy.." She chuckles. "As adventurous as his brother and father, to bad he isn't like them.."

I ran out down a alley way and glanced around.

"Fredrick! Are you here?" I whisper yelled out.

"Over here..! I have Willy with me as well!" A voice said

A young boy with wolf ears walks out of the shadows, next to him is a boy with cat ears who is much younger, he looks to be about 6-7 years old while the other looks to be 12-13.

"It took you two long enough! Come on, we have to go get some work done." I said and went down the path, keeping a close watch on the entrance as to make sure no one was following us.

"We were just discussing somethings with Mary, she is up ahead with everyone else, Nathan is under the weather as well with it getting colder and all." Fredrick said as he carried William on his shoulders. You would never see those two apart even though the two are entirely different species.

"Darn Naga's... why is he even here! He needs to head to a hotter climate."

"Well, he has no where to go just like the rest of us you know? His parents abandoned him."

"Right right.. well anyway, has anyone found us yet?"

"Not as far as I'm aware, Aiden has kept his mouth shut thankfully." Aiden is a kid from the village, while he is a quiet kid he surely is a problem.

We exited the alley and ended up on the outer parts of the village. We kept walking in silence until we reached a old house, the roof was caving in and the walls a faint grey. It was on the brink of collapsing on itself, yet this was home. For them at least.

We walked in and was greeted with smiling faces. Ariel was warming up with Nathan by the fire while Elluka was making a new doll in the dark. Mary got up and walked over to us.
