Prologue (Rewrite)

//Hello everyone, seeing as I now have a computer to use for wattpad I will actually probably continue this book and make other stories. I hope you like this revamp//

3rd P.O.V

The night was dark and bleak as a child was kicked out of a house, covered in bruises and cuts as he was obviously beat and malnourished. "If I ever see you again, Ill kill you!" A feminine sounding voice rang out into the night from the house, seemingly being his mother or a motherly figure. The boy nodded and began to walk away, not wanting to upset his mother any further. He did expect her to come out soon and call himself back inside so he didn't wander to far away.

An hour had passed, the boy slowly losing hope that his mother would come back for him. after 2 hours, he gave up that sliver of hope and began to walk away dejectedly, coming across a cardboard box and deciding to spend the night in that box.

It had already been a week since the boy had been kicked out and he was struggling to survive, becoming skinnier than before as he hadn't eaten much this past week. His main source of food came from stealing and scavenging, though he mostly got beat when he stole so he didn't do it much. Today though was different as he stole a whole loaf of bread and thought he got away as he didn't hear any footsteps behind him. He smiled wildly as he got back to his cardboard box, about to scarf down the bread until he heard someone call out to him from the entrance to the alley he called home. The boy looked over at the voice and found the man he stole from, immediately scared that he was going to be beat so he held the bread up to him to give it back and as an apology. The man did not accept it however and was about to kick the boy until a hand caught the leg from behind, surprising the boy and man

"Hey man, you shouldn't go around kicking children. Not the kind of behavior we should set forward for the newer generation, yeah?" A man with yellow/blondish hair spoke in a joking tone, putting the leg down on the ground as a woman came around and went the boy.

"Are you okay there young one? Come here, we'll protect you." The woman had a white hood with a rose symbol on the bottom. She had jet black hair and a soft face, having a motherly and loving aura about her as she opened her arms to the boy which he was very hesitant about going into. When the woman saw this, she became upset. Not at the boy, but at the man as she thought they were father and son and that the man was abusive.

A much younger girl came around to get back to her mother, having golden hair like the man. When she saw the boy with a hair color similar to her, she became excited and ran up to him which caused him to shrink back in fear, in turn making the girl confused. "Hey, it's okay. I'm not gonna hurt you." She was very soft spoken and high pitched, characteristics of a female child of around 7 years of age. Then, another child came around with hair similar to the older woman. She seemed very timid and shy as she didn't speak but instead hid behind her sister

Whilst this was going on, the blonde man was dealing with the baker, talking him down until the baker left the alley. The blonde then walked over to the rest of the group and kneeled down, slowly reaching a hand out to the kid. "You'll be okay kid, why don't you come with us for the time being until we find your parents?" At the mention of his parents, the boy shook his head furiously and ran to the woman, hugging her tightly

"It seems like he doesn't want to go back, why don't we just adopt him hun? He shouldn't be out here like this." The woman picked the boy up into her arms, turning to the blonde male. He just awkwardly put a hand on the back of his neck, rubbing it softly with a sigh. "Ah alright, we might as well. A son would be nice anyway. So boy, do you have a name?" The blonde male asked, having a soft expression as to not scare him. The boy simply shook his head no, causing the husband and wife pair to sigh. Then, the youngest child spoke up. "Why not (Y/n) Rose?"

The couple looked at each other, quite happy with the name. "(Y/n) it is then, let's take him home and freshen him up. Oh yeah, we should introduce ourselves. My name is Summer Rose" The now named Summer spoke softly with a loving smile

"I'm Taiyang Xiao Long. Ill be your dad from now on, so don't worry" The blonde male, now known as Taiyang, had a bit more of a wild side to him

"I'm Yang Xiao Long, how old are you by the way?" The blonde female introduced herself with a question, making the other ponder about that until another voice broke through the silence

"And I'm Ruby Rose" The youngest one spoke up, here words sounding a bit muddled together as she didn't speak very loudly

"And I'm (Y/n) Rose, thank you for taking me in. I should be 7 years old." The male finally spoke up, having a soft voice

"Welcome to the family, (Y/n)!" Everyone said at once, causing the young boy to truly smile for the first time in years as he was carried away, quickly falling asleep
