A hole that can't be sealed

The Escape

My name is Zenzo Rose, I was always different from the others, I'm a hollow, I was neither human or faunus.

I was always quiet, I did as told which meant it was done excellently which made my orphanage caretakers happy, especially Mrs. Eina, she is a human and she is nice to everyone, even though she knew what I was; in her own worlds, she said that I was the "mature" one amongst all the others.

Where are my parents? They're dead, I never knew them and I wish I did; later on in life, I was adopted by a woman called Summer Rose, I had two sisters that were half sisters, Ruby Rose my younger one and Yang Xia Long my elder one, my adopted father was a man named, Tai Xia Long.

Everything was fine until Summer went on a mission and never came back but the surprising thing was she was also never found; Raven Branwen, my adopted stepmother, left for the tribe and my adopted uncle, Qrow Branwen, started drinking and hardly comes around to see us.

A few weeks later, Tai had started a stress relieving exercise, taking his anger out on me, punching, kicking, stabbing and cutting me until he was satisfied, sooner he let Yang join in because it was "training" he said; they'd insult me, beat me, make me do all the chores and work everyday, my hollow powers would kick in to fix my wounds, sometimes Ruby or Zwei would bring me food when Tai didn't, when I asked if I could train he'd deny and if he was feeling "happy" he'd use me as the punching bag for Yang, Ruby wouldn't hit me whenever Tai told her to, when she didn't do it and I was the one to pay the price, one day he did it, he broke my Hollow skull in half and to this day I can't find it.

But I can't feel pain, the only feeling and emotion I know is emptiness.

Today is no different, Zenzo is 11 and was washing the dishes, Yang had come in with a few plates that she dropped on the floor intentionally, then blaming it on him.

"Dad! Zenzo broke the plates!!!" Yang yelled with a grin.

"What?!" Tai exclaimed marching into the kitchen, slapping Zenzo hard enough to snap a normal person's neck.

"I did no such thing" Zenzo said receiving another slap.

"Don't talk back young man!" Tai said.

"Yes sir" Zenzo said proceeding to clean the mess, while the two just went back to what they were doing.

"When are his parents ever coming for him" Yang spat.

"It's either he doesn't have any, doesn't know them or I bet they just threw him out because he's a disgrace" Tai said as Yang laughs, Zenzo continues to as a tear rolls down his cheek.

"What is this? Is this what they call a tear? Such a magnificent thing, but I must leave, the plan must be followed to standard" Zenzo said as Ruby walks in holding her teddy.

"Big bwother, did Ywang do tis?" Ruby asked as Zenzo just continues cleaning.

"Maybe, the plan can be moved to another day" Zenzo thought as he finishes cleaning up, then ruffling Ruby's hair.

"Be strong little rose" Zenzo said as Ruby giggles, just the Tai walks in to see such, anger boiling he punches Zenzo in the face causing the boy to let go and Ruby gasp.

"Don't touch my child, I don't want her catching any disease or failure from a degenerate disgrace!" Tai exclaimed kicking Zenzo multiple times.

Later that night.......

Just as Tai had gone to bed, Zenzo had taken the only things he had, a worn out blue shirt, black shorts, worn out red shoes, a brush, toothpaste, a bar of soap and a necklace he'd got for his 8th birthday from Summer and Ruby.
