The definition of Marius (DDLB)

Chapter 1

Chokku's pov

I'm in the woods god knows where, I ran far from that building. It was the only chance I got to actually survive. I'm really hurt and muddy the sky is pitch black  and looks like it's about to rain. It is scary in this place. However, It's better than the other place.

Crouching down into a sitting position after running forever to just get away from that devastating place. My hair sticking to my forehead because of the sweat. I'm so tired out.

I've been crying for ages after sitting down my legs are so sore and bruised. But torn shorts don't do well, my ripped up t-shirt doesn't provide me any comfort at all. I'm pretty sure my eyes are red and blood shot, nose stuffy and look like a total mess, but I don't care at least I got away.

All I can think is. Why couldn't I just not be in this dreadful world.

It keeps running through my head. The guilt of what happened. What they did to me. It's so hurtful.

I'm feeling drowsy but fighting it away. What if danger comes I won't be able to protect myself, as if I could anyway my scrawny legs and arms do no good with supporting for me. Aswell as that king run.

The night is petrifying the silence is deafening me, but there's no sound to be heard. Except from my distant cries that I'm trying to muffle. Someone might hear me.

My eyes are getting heavier each time I blink and it's becoming harder to stay awake, until.

I heard a crunch and look into that direction getting ready to start to run away again. I think it might be the people from that house. My heartbeat can be heard from a 10 miles away I swear I'm petrified. Then comes the shadows of the people standing up I scream "LEAVE ME ALONE" they didn't stop and continued to come closer. "Hey it's ok" a hushed tone came from the person. "I'm not going to hurt you" it spoke again in the same volume. I stand confused waiting for what their about to do.

They came close enough for me to see their face. He had black hair, that's all. They were crouching down to my level. Despite wanting to run away I couldn't. They were giving me a sad smile. A friendly look I haven't seen before. "It's ok, your ok" they spoke in a gentle voice. I could see their green glistening eyes showing me kindness. "Please just leave me alone" I told them in an low voice. I do hope they go and forget about me. Instead they sit down and pay the ground next to them as a gesture to sit down. I don't think I should but they don't mean any harm right? I go and sit down with caution not too close though so I can easily run away from them if I needed to. " your not going to hurt me, right?" I asked in the same quiet voice.

"No honey I'm not" they replied to me a gentle tone. " why are you here?" I ask they might be a danger to me even with there nice voice. "I'm here to make sure your ok, do you need my help?". I think of what to say should I say yes or no and run. "No I'm ok" I told them in a hushed tone. They looked like they were about to say something but stopped themselves. "Are you sure you don't look it" his soft eyes are making me feel like I'll be safe with him. "I think... I might need help". "Ok honey I'll help you if you let me, I mean no harm towards you Im just going to try and help. They said as they got up startling me.

"Come on why don't I get you into a nice warm home with nice soft clothes they look worn out" he's talking so gentle to me. My mind is telling me to go and get help and he'll do nothing to me. "You promise your not doing to do anything" I ask quietly. "No I would never" I believed them.

Standing up and looking at him sceptically in case he did anything or show anything to harm me. "Let me carry you it's a short way back but there's loads of sticks and twigs you might fall" he stated. I nodded. He picked me up slowly to not hurt anything such as the bruises on my body and carry me on his hip. I was fighting to not fall asleep a moment ago it's getting really hard to now, that I've got body heat I go closer into his chest to gather the warmth as he walks towards his house or anywhere he's going.
