It was dark outside when Sabastian had finally drifted off to sleep. He was a young and healthy 7 year old child, he had amazing parents that loved him. But they were keeping secrets that only few knew of.

"Mama?" Said Sabastian, "Yes sweetie?" "Is Papa ok?" Sabastian says as he looks at his father sitting in his chair with his head in his hands, rocking back and forth. "He's fine dear he's just...a little stressed," his mother says as she pick him up and hold him in her arms. "Now it's time for you to go to sleep," Sabastian complains. "But I wanna stay up with you and Papa..." As they head in the direction of Sabastian's room his mother looks him in the eyes, "Now now, you need your sleep." "But what about you and Papa?" Sabastian says looking up at his mother with his bright red wonder filled eyes. His mother strokes his dark black hair, "we will go to bed right when you do." "Ok."

Sabastian never showed his happiness with a smile, in fact he never smiled before, he only knew how to smile through the look of his eyes. All you had to do was look at them and you would feel at peace.

His mother smiled and took Sabastian to his room where he would sleep peacefully. Once that was done, his mother walked over to his father and grabbed his arm to pull him out of his chair and walk him to their room. As they walked, the father said, "It's like we made a deal with the devil..." he says with a shaky voice. The mother keeps walking to the room where they would sleep.

Later that night, people broke into their house dressed in strange clothing, with strange masks. They walked over to the parents room and carefully opened the door where the parents lay fast asleep. Two of them walk to either side of the bed. Both of them pull out two things, a cloth and a knife. They look at each other and nod. Then they swiftly put the cloth over the parents mouths to muffle their screams, and just as they put the cloths over their mouths, they thrust the knife into their chests 3 times...killing them. They walk out and see Sabastian staring at them with emotionless eyes...staring straight through them and their intentions to kill him. They all freeze. Staring at the small defenceless child. Out of know where, the child give a blood curdling scream, making the men jump. They start to run towards the back gate when on of them runs up to the child and slashes his eye. The child falls to the ground, knocked out.

A few minutes later, the cops showed up and ran inside the house. One of the male officers ran over to Sabastian and pick him up and ran back out side where the ambulance were and put him on a stretcher. And just in case the men who gave him the scar were still around, the officer followed the ambulance to the hospital.
