Chapter 1

HI GUYZ! IM SO SORRY FOR THE DAMN SAD PROLOGUE BUT IT'S LIKE RELATED TO THE REST OF THE BOOK SO I HAD TO WRITE IT! THIS BOOK IS QUITE SAD THOUGH. And if you don't like sad books, so be it, bye bye, you can don't read it. If you do though, you are very welcome. ENJOY!

Ash's POV

I'm Ash, Ash Carlson. I'm 14 years old. Today is my birthday and I am spending it all alone. After 1 whole year, I still have not gotten over my parents' death. Actually, today is my birthday and also the anniversary of my parents' death. All of you must be thinking, awww Ash you poor boy, I'm so sad for you. And let me tell you something, I don't care about your sympathy, I don't need it, I don't want it, so don't show or give me sympathy. I hate it. When my relatives started giving me pity, I hated it. What is the point of showing pity too someone when you yourself will not do anything. There is no point in it at all. I would rather you leave me alone and walk past me like I don't exist.

I grabbed my school bag and walked out of the orphanage like every other day. The orphanage was pretty empty as usual. However, after spending 1 year in this run down house, I've grown rather connected to this house. The caretaker is a fairly sweet, nice old lady, she's Mrs Dorcas, a real sweetheart. There is only a few other children here, none of them are my age though. Most of them are about 6 years old, which is sad. I left the house and walked along the sidewalk to school when I heard a faint smell of smoke and cries from a distance. I immediately ran towards the sound and came face to face with a house burning down. Flames engulfed it as it slowly burnt to the ground. I ran towards the house to see what was happening when I got roughly pushed back onto the ground.

"You... you did this! You burnt my house down! You did this!" a lady screamed in my face.

"W...what? N...no I didn't do anything." I put my hands up in surrender.

"You murderer! You burnt your own house down and now you want to burn my daughter's house?" she slapped me across my face causing my cheek to erupt with pain.

"I really didn't do anything!" I slowly backed away.

Many people heard the commotion going on and started shouting murderer and throwing rocks at me.

"W...Wait! I really didn't do anything! I was just passing by!" I shouted while shielding my face.

"MURDERER! ARSONIST! KILL HIM!" people started kicking me, punching me and throwing whatever they had at me.

I covered my face and curled into a ball, hoping that someone will help me. Eventually, a police officer came and dragged me into his police car. I was still shocked at what happened to me but eventually calmed down.

"O...officer, I..."

"Save it for later kid." he cut me off.

1 hour later...

The police officer opened the door and put handcuffs on me. He led me towards the interrogation room as I was greeted with many stares and gasps. The police officer sat me down on a chair and sat across from me.

"Name?" he said.

"Ash, Ash Carlson." I said

"Age?"

"14."

"Parents?"

"They died."

"Oh, I'm sorry."

He slowly wrote down some things and eventually looked up at me.

"Ash, do you know what you have done?"

"I really didn't do anything sir."

"Than why would the crowd throw rocks at you?"

"I...I don't know, I was just passing by to see what was happening when this lady started accusing me."

"Okay. I will just bring you to the cell first while we investigate okay? We will also call in for witnesses okay?"

The police officer led me towards a cell and left me there. I looked around and thought about how long I will have to stay here. I sighed and fell asleep on the bed in the cell. Hoping that I would get out as soon as possible. With that thought, I slowly drifted off to sleep.
