"Legend of the afterlife."

A light drop.

NIGHT CITY, 2057.

The wind blew through the alley, The smell of gasoline and smoke filled the air. And there i was, holding a doll. I called it Sonia, and always kept it around with me until this day. I played with sonia outside through an dark alley, my house was close by, and i have an dark black afro. also having blue eyes. I had dark red overalls on. I looked like my mother, Lydia. My name is Astro Jett. I never knew my father. My brother, Mylo did. He said dad left because he didn't want a girl. He wanted my mom to lose me. But Mylo stood up to him, and that night. Dad left. Mylo was 10. Now his 19, turning 20 in a few weeks. His always been the protective type, keeping me safe. But he is rebelious. He snuck out last night to tag a few walls with some of his friends. I knew about it, but never told anyone. 

"Are you thirsty?" I said to the doll, on my knees, holding a broken teapot that was taped pretty badly. I pretended a cup was there and filled the pretend cup, and placed the teapot on the ground.

"Here, drink up!" I putted the pretend cup next to sonia's mouth, and made some slurping sounds.

I giggled and hugged the doll. Suddenly, i heard a empty can of soda clatter nearby. I gasped sliently and got up from the ground. I grabbed sonia and held the doll tightly against my chest. My heart raced, I looked infront of me. Then, i saw a figure come out from the shadows. It was a blonde boy, he had bad acne all over his skin.

"Well, well well.. Look who we have here." Another figure came out from the shadows, holding a metal pipe. It was another boy, griping the pipe tighter. His knuckles turned white.

"L-Leave me alone.." I said, my voice barely a whisper. The boy with acne chuckled, walking closer to me. I backed up, fear evident on my face.

The boy with the pipe smirked, liking the fear. "What's the matter lil' girl? Scared?"

My eyes were filled with tears.

"Give me the doll." The boy with acne said.

"What? No!" I clutched sonia tighter. I shook in fear.

"I said give it to me." The boy with acne growled.

"I-I said no.." The boy with acne turned around to the boy with the pipe and nodded. The boy with the pipe got closer.

"Last chance girl, You gonna give it? Or will we make you give it?" Tears started to stream down my face, i backed up again but i backed into a wall.

"I guess you made your choice." The boy with the pipe ran at me, and hit my arm with the pipe. I dropped sonia making the doll fall onto the tough ground, and cried in pain. My arm was bruised and it was thumping. The boy with acne grabbed the doll from the ground. I sobbed, as the boy inspected sonia. He looked down at me, and laughed sadistically.

"Look at this little girl, cryin' over some stupid doll." 

My arm got worse. My sobs became louder, echoing through the alley.

"P-Please.. give her back.."

"Hm, nah. This might be worth a few eddies." The boy with acne putted sonia in his pocket. The acne boy spitted on my face, Both of the boys laughed. I watched as they walked away, seeing sonias hand in the boys pocket. The pain in my arm was horrible, Then.. I saw an muscular tall boy. My vision was blurry with the tears, and then.. I blacked out.

"Astro? ASTRO!" I only heard my name being called out, nothing else.

A few hours later, i woke up in a daze. I groaned in pain, I was lying on a bed. My arm had a bandage on it. I looked around, I was in the local clinic. I saw mylo sitting down, having a hand on his face. His leg was shaking.
