"I don't know why everyone and everything hates me".

"Why is it always like this?
Why was I even born? I don't understand, am I meant to die like this.
No I can't die now, my grandma is still at home waiting for me, if I die now I'll leave her all alone.
No I must fight, I must be strong no matter the course, I must not give up on life, at least for her".

Ahhh .....

In a far away land, there was a large city which had fantastic buildings and nice vehicles, everything was nice but there lived a poor and powerless boy who lived with his grandma outside this city. Where he stayed was surrounded by trees and wild animals including dangerous beasts, and all this was outside this beautiful city called WOBAP, which was also referred as the Wonderland Of Beauty And Power. It was truly for the rich and strong.

It all started on a beautiful morning, when a boy named "Natsu Vangeance" was at home with his Grandma, helping her with the house chores as he normally do. He is a very nice and hardworking little boy of about 14 years old with a very dark hair and a very beautiful but pale looking eyes. He looked up to the sun which he used his hands to protect his eyes from the sunlight as he then continues spreading the clothes on the ropes.

"Natsu, please can you help get some fruits and food for me", his Grandma said.

Natsu who was just done spreading the last cloth on the rope replied, "Okay grandma I'll be right there", as he immediately rushed to meet his grandma.

"Okay Grandma, I'll be right back", Natsu replied after receiving gold coins from his grandma to get the items as he began running to get the errand done.

"Be careful son and don't get into trouble", his Grandma said as she waves her hands telling Natsu goodbye.

"Yes grandma, you don't need to worry about me, I'll be just fine, so just take care of yourself", Natsu said as he waves back to his grandma.

On his way to get the items his grandma sent him, he met his favorite bullies not too far from the city, who have made his life a living hell.

"What's up brat", Jin said.

Jin is the name of Natsu bully and the leader of the gang that was there.

"Just leave me alone", Natsu said.

Jin replied angrily, "Did you just talk back at me".

Natsu who is really scared of Jin replied with a very low voice as he stammers saying, "It's not like that, I just want to go do some errands for my grandma and when I'm back you can deal with me however you want, please".

"Oh really, so you are now telling me what to do", Jin said as he became more angry with Natsu.

"No it's not like that", Natsu replied with a scared voice.

Jin moved his head as he signals his people to surround Natsu, which they did.

"Okay brat it's time to get moving, unless you want to die", Jin said.

Natsu who was scared, said nothing and began to follow them.

They took him very deep into the forest but this time, it wasn't to the usual place they normally take him to. They took him way more deeper than usual as they arrived at a cave.

Natsu who was still afraid of what they're about to do to him asked, "Where are we and what are we doing here"?

"Just keep moving brat, unless you want to die", Jin replied.

Natsu immediately stayed quiet as he followed them into the cave which was very cold, dark and scary.

They started hearing strange noises like howls and roars, they could also hear creepy noises of things moving around in the cave. Except from the creepy noises, howls and noise the cave made, the cave was so silent that they could also hear their foot steps which made Natsu unease.
