'Come away a human child, come away' voices echoed through the trees. A young boy laughed as he chased after his friends. He would play for hours until dark. His friends will always protect him, it was their promise. The boy wished he could escape from his life with his friends forever just liked they promised but he was unsure. Could he leave his mother or sister alone with him? The man who causes his pain. The boy giggled once more. His friends were changing into magnificent shapes, it made him wish he too could change his form.
"Boy! Get back inside now!" his father shouted, the child tensed up. He wanted to stay yet he knew he couldn't disobey his father. No matter how much he wanted to do. The boy waved goodbye to his friends before returning to the house. He knew he shouldn't make his father wait.
"What took you so long?" his father shouted before striking his son cheek. The child grabbed his cheek, tears brimmed at the corner of his eyes.
"I'm sorry" The child whispered. The father glared at the child before pushing the child out his way and headed towards the fridge. The father violently slammed the fridge door open before grabbing the nearest beer. The child watched in fear as his father guzzled down the beer as he slowly stumbled towards the lounge. Towards his mother and sister.
The atmosphere was tense when the child willed himself to enter the lounge after his father. He heard the shouting from the kitchen which made his blood run cold. The child grabbed his crying sister and safely got her in the garden silently praying for his friends to protect her. The father took the empty beer bottle before bringing it over and slamming it down onto the mother's face. Glass was embedded into her skull. The boy screamed drawing the father attention to him.
"You little bitch" the father snarled before storming over to the child and throwing him against the wall. The child heard the familiar fluttering of wings. The sound of choking as the Fae protected their chosen one. The child's vision blurred.
'Come away a human child' the voice said once more.
'Take me away from this place' the child said before blacking out.
The occurrence of that night had confused police, they had found the dead bodies of the mother and father, the scared little girl hiding underneath a bush in the garden. The disappearance of the parents' first born. There was no trace of him. The police determined that the father had killed the child before getting rid of the body then returning home and attacking his wife which lead to him killing her then himself. The police searched from the remains of the child, but none were found.
