The Abandoned Hero

Chapter 1: Jin Vega

Darkness surrounded me, there was nothing but just pitch black. Is this a dream? Suddenly a cloaked figure appeared before me.

"Hello child welcome to my domain, call me Oracle." The figures welcomed with a very feminine voice.

"What am I doing here?" My voice croaked coming out a bit shakier than I intended.

"This is a dream state, and this is where you need to be for now, so tell me a bit about your life child." She said.

"Alright .. why not this being a dream and alleged" I mumbled, closed my eyes and begun.

"My name is Jin Vega, i'm 16. I have black shaggy hair, blue eyes and pale skin. I attend a school called Splits academy, my father died in a car crash before I was born and my mother passed away giving birth to me, I guess I didn't take it on as much since I barely knew them but I always wished that things could have been different. My aunt and uncle has been taking care of me ever since then. My uncle is an alcoholic and he constantly both physically and mentally abuses me... while my aunt just watches and blames me for my mothers' death. Since birth I was a loner, playing video games and watching anime were my only escape from this place, I just wanted to end it all and disappear from this hell. School hasn't been much better either, I mean my grades are pretty good but since the first year a jock named Trevor has been bullying me ever since I started at school, he'd take my money and beat me up at any chance he could get. I always had a sour expression on my face and didn't say much so I didn't make any friends and to be honest I couldn't care less about them, people disgust me."

I turned my head to the direction of the voice hinting to her that I was finished, she extended her hand and patted my head something I had never gotten in my life, the little show of affection...

"You are strong I could see that, after all you've been through, but don't worry it is said that good will come to those who wait."

I've heard that line before and Iv'e been waiting for 16 years, I didn't agree but I just nodded.

"I will let you rest now, but don't lose hope trust me you have a gift you just need to realize it and awaken it. Farewell and good luck child, I will be with you again"

My head swirled and a cold shiver ran down my spine and I was jolted awake by loud violent screams.

"Wake up you lazy ass up you bum !" A familiar voice slurred.

I opened my eyes to see my uncle with a beer bottle in his hand ,obviously drunk. I rolled over, removing my covers and got out of bed, completely ignoring him and went straight to the bathroom and freshened up myself.

"Ha! you ignoring me kid, looks like you've grown some balls." He said laughing.

I continued to ignore his taunts as I got ready for the day ahead with the dream in my head replaying and replaying. It felt so real, I was glad today was Saturday which meant I wouldn't have to put up with Trevors' Load of bull.

After freshening up I headed downstairs to hear the usual arguing between my Aunt and uncle . They argue everyday and I just how are they still together. I went past them mumbling my morning and then helped myself to a bowl of cereal.

Just when I was almost through, I heard a noise and my aunts' scream. I rushed to the kitchen to see my aunt laying on the ground hand on her cheek as my uncle held his beer bottle in his hand hovering over her.

She had that one coming, I've wanted to do that for a very long time trust me she's a woman and you just don't hit woman. My uncle not being satisfied balled his fist and was ready to launch at her, I rushed behind him hitting him in the head, he stumbled onto the ground. "You little shit! You raise your hand to me do you not have respect?! , what I do to my wife is none of your concern." He yelled, a visible vein bulged on his forehead.

"You can't talk about respect ! Your hitting a woman for godsake, she's your wife! You are drunk again." I said staring into his eyes for some sort of reasoning.

"Screw you piece of shit at least you have more fight in you than your dumb father." He remarked with a smirk.

"Do not speak about my father, you are much worse than he ever could have been." I yelled, my eyes filling up.

"Oh what you gonna do, cry to mommy oh wait that's right...shes dead" he said.

"Shut the hell up!" I said furiously, tears running down my cheek. I couldn't take it anymore I was tired of being pushed around. I tackled him on the ground and began punching his face over and over. He tried fighting back but was to drunk to swing a proper hit.

My aunt ran over and tried to restrain me from doing anymore damage ."Jin, please stop he's unconscious! Your gonna kill him!." She said shaking and pulling on my arms.

"Why do you care? Hasn't he been treating you like crap all these years, hitting you, yelling at you when you don't even deserve any of it, I have put up with this for 16 years, this needs to end." She looked at me, teary eyed and infuriated, grabbing me by the hand and shoved me straight out the door.

"Come back when you have calmed down, this is a family matter...this is not your concern." She said slamming the door shut.

"Are you kidding me, you cannot do this let me back in!."

Nothing... she didn't let me back in what a load of shit.

I left and took a walk to the park, I sat on the bench thinking about what could possibly be next. What am I to do, maybe I should runaway and live with grandma wherever she is... I just wanted to disappear. I can't take it anymore,I screamed in frustration, allowing the tears to stream down my face, I let it all out, my hands gripping my heart.

After a good few hours, my tears had run dry, my throat dry sore but I got calm and tired of being out here and as much as I didn't want to return I knew I had to, I got and dragged myself back home. I wish my parent were still alive I could imagine things would have been so different but things like that just don't come through even if you wish upon a measly fallen star.

I bent the corner and saw my house a few steps away, I sighed. I felt a light breeze and a familiar cold shiver run down my spine when the earth beneath me disappeared and a swirling circle engulfed my body as a white flash crossed my eyes.

Had I been abducted....
