(Avery pov)

The day after we went to the doc, bad things started happening.

I was immersed in the basics of my new study of the human body, when I heard. Lucy and Mrs.Heather were in an capsule accident.
The Heather's were a rich family. Of course they owned a few capsules.

Lucy was badly injured and Mrs.Heather broke her arm.

Everyone was devastated. The angel and goddess of the family were injured. In a super rare capsule accident at that.

Some said the capsule had been sabotaged.
Others that it was just bad luck.

I obviously agreed with the former. How can they have bad luck with their lucky star with them?

Oh how wrong I was.

They came back from the hospital after a week. I went to visit them but was refused.
I went back to my studies.

Two days latter, a random person came to visit me. He just stood next to me. I didn't mind. He seemed sorta disdainful. He stayed with me for the whole day while I minded my business. Just before leaving, he asked me to look him in the eye. I did just that thinking what a weirdo he was.

He did this for three days. I was getting quite used to his presence when he stopped coming by. Nobody came to visit me for 2 weeks after that.

The next person who came was a woman. She just stayed away from me. I could hear her mumbling prayers pretty often. Then after 3days, she stopped coming.

Then came another person. The cycle repeated.

At some point of time during I realized I had been locked in my room. I didn't mind. I rarely went out if my room anyways. Food was delivered to my room at set intervals and was delicious as always. A bit too delicious maybe.

At the end of a set of two weeks between a new person coming to see me I found out I seemed to sleep too much and my memory was falling me. Weird I thought.

That was when another person came. A woman this time. She somehow seemed to be terrified. Even though I was pretty delerious those days I could tell. I could tell how the people who came to me progressed from disdainful to terrified.

Why?

While thinking of this I saw her lunge at me and press something to my nose. I passed out.

It was my Sixth birthday.

When I woke up, I felt myself drowning.

I spluttered and found myself in a tiny bucket of water. But big enough to drown a unconscious normal six year old, let alone a relatively small me.

(Author: Yup Avery is a shorty.

Ave: Huh! Nothing.... I'll catch that annoying thing next time.

Author:*out of breath* phew)

I somehow got out of it, but I was drenched.
Which was bad considering it was the peak of winter and I was outside in flimsy clothes.

I looked around and found that I was in the public park. I hadn't come here since I was adopted. It held pleasant memories but the Heather's loved too far off. A few days far off.

I was confused as to why I was here and why didn't anyone see a drowning child.

I found the answer to the second question question. It was night time and I was behind the toilets. Ugh... Dirty.

Before I could think of the first question, a gust of cold wind hit me and my mind was occupied my more urgent matters.

How to survive hypothermia.

And yes that was a term I learned after an extensive study of biology.

Then I remembered that I had a little hideout of sorts in the park to escape bullying.

I made my way towards it praying for it to still exist. Odd know how society affects you.
I didn't believe in God but prayed to him.

Anyways, to my delight! I found my hideout intact with my blanket inside it .

Even though it was only a bunch of cardboard boxes put together, it would probably protect me from the wind.

And to my mixture of relief and disappointment, I still fit snuggly inside with space to spare.
-_-*

Ignoring my lack of growth, I stripped and went inside the blanket.

mhm... so warm.

I wondered why I had been abandoned, it was pretty obvious that I had been.

Had I not been good?

Was I not their lucky star?

I feel asleep with these thoughts in my mind...

Mini Theater.

Ave: Was this a horrible attempt to give me a 'sad' back story you annoying thing.

Author: Hey! I find it pretty good.

Ave: Really. That's okay then. Can I ask you a question?
*smiles sweetly*

Author:Sure?
*feels like something is wrong*

Ave: *gets ready to pull off his sunglasses*
Are you the one who gave me a P.I.N.K eye AND made me short?

Author:*flees top speed*

Ave: Che... I'll get it next time.
