Chapter One: Abduction

Hello all, this is my first day here on this amino, and I wanted to get something posted right away. Now, usually, I don't write fanfictions for too many things anymore, and my writing needs some improvement. So I decided to try improving on that and get this out there at the same time so I can practice, while entertaining my imagination. If you do not like it, I will understand, and feel free to say so! Honesty is the best policy and it is common knowledge that you cannot appease everyone. Heck, if you want to, feel free to give flames in the comments, speak your mind. Only to me though, if you start to bully other people, I will have no problem reporting you.

(I put this message on quite a few stories, so it is just getting it out of the way)

HERE ARE SOME WARNINGS BEFORE YOU READ -

- There might be a curse word in here, or a few due to situational happenings. If I manage to swing none, that will be great.  -There is going to be Surprise Adoption (Kidnapping) in here. However, it does not go as a typical kidnapping.  -There is some violence in here, and I go into detail. However, since this is more-like a PG amino, I will keep details minimal.  -There is going to be concepts of Malnutrition, Dehydration, Exhaustion, and general sad topics. So, with this in mind, please be aware of anything that might make you uncomfortable.  -Danplan characters are all going to be Teenagers in this fic. around 15 years old or so. -This is a Stephen centric fic, because Stephen is my favorite character. However, I do like all the others too.  -There will be OC in here, however, they are not self-inserted love interests cause I don't do Romance. These characters will also not be gone over in detail because they are going to be used for a rather brief amount of time. With all of this finally out of the way, enjoy the fic. I might make a piece of art for it later, I do not know. Reviews and commentaries are appreciated, but not required. Have a nice read. :)

 In the early morning hours of a slow Wednesday morning, a purple haired, rather spirited boy walked along the sidewalk that lead to his school. The day was warm, and sunlight poured down on him from the spaces in the leaves of the canopy. This warm radiant shine gave the sidewalk a luke-warm glow. More inviting for a nap if it weren't for the many feet that trekked through here. Nor if it were for the small animals that usually scurried about, going and coming from the near house with many feeders for wildlife.

This boy was addressed as 'Stephen'. Though others did OCCASIONALLY call him by 'Steve'. The boy pondered the somewhat sparse-used nickname for a moment. It was funny how the long version of his name suit him just fine, but when you said 'Steve' it sounded so ... unlike his own personality. In a sense, anyway; although Stephen did not know what this sense really was. Getting lost in his thoughts, he chuckled to himself upon seeing the school a short distance away through the concealment of low-hanging tree branches.

"I kinda wanna stab the person who invented school..." he mused to himself. He said stuff like that a lot, though in overall generality, he never meant it; most of the time. It would be foolish to harbor feelings of malice for someone that had died a long time ago. Maybe even a group of people.

The walk to te school had gotten shorter and shorter. Until he reached the block he was supposed to be on. Fast approaching the front doors of the large, but modest school, he managed to spot his friends. His on-par, if not crazier buddy, Jay. The smart, and considerate Hosuh. Then, finally, down-to-Earth man, party-pooper Dan. No, Dan wasn't a bad guy, he just liked to be kinda sensible and rain on Stephen's parade a lot. He liked to rain on Jay's parade too, quite a bit.
