The city of Mantle, and the glorious city of Atlas...
You've always dreamed of going to see the beautiful buildings, and nice people, and the Academy.
But... that was years ago, before those demons left you to die in this wretched, corrupt city...
It's been hell, everyday of Mantle feels like hell.
You fight for your food, you fight to sleep, you fight to live on. You fight.All you do is fight. Everyday, in and out...
And today is no different...
"HEY YOU!!!"
"What do you want?! Leave me alone!"
"Listen here you wortheless good for nothing! That piece of bread, give it to me, or you'll be in a wheelchair by tomorrow!!"You stare at the adults, screaming at you.
"Me and my friends are quite hungry."
"We wouldn't mind feeding your worthless corpse to the Grimm outside the wall!" They all laugh at you.
"I earned this bread you lowlives! Now last time, leave me alone!" You scream back, hoping they'll leave you alone.
"What was that?!" They're slowly getting closer to you.
"I said leave me alone!" You grab a spoon and throw it at one of them.
"ARGH! Alright, you know what boys?! Let's show this fucker where he belongs!" You get up with your bread and run away, they're in hot pursuit though, you quickly turn a corner and throw down a scaffolding and it toppled, blocking the way. You thought you got away when one of them comes from the side and tackle you into the wall, you drop your bread, and the adult pins you to the wall, you quickly kick one between the legs, but he grabs your arm and punches you in the gut. You collapse out of breath, two of them grab your arms and pin you to the wall.
"Alright you little shit." He pulls out the knife from your camp.
"I'm gonna carve your bloody eyes out, hold him still boys." You struggle and try to break free, but the men are too strong, the leader holds your right eye open and slowly inserts the knife.
"AAAAHHHHH-!" You scream but one of the men cover your mouth so you're quiet.
"Sh sh sh... this is gonna hurt a lot..." The men begin laughing at your suffering, the leader even kicks you in the gut, you try to kick and fight back, but he just punches you in the gut.
"I'M GONNA KILL YOU!!" He pulls the knife out before your eye is completely turned to soup. He punches you in the face.
"How DARE you talk to me like that you little fuck!" He picks you up by the head and slams you into the wall, face first. Your face is bloody, you can't see out of your right eye, and you're breathless, you're pretty sure he broke a few ribs too.
"I'll... kill you..."
"I'd like to see you try!" He reels back for another blow to your broken body, but before he can hit you again, a bullet whizzes past the man's head.
You slowly turn your head to see a man with a gun.
"Seems kind of pathetic to attack a child. Now, let him go."
"Are you trying to kill me?!" The man yells to the your savior.
"If I wanted you dead, you'd be on the ground with a hole in your head."
"Oh no! I'm SOOO SCARED! GET HIM!" The three men charge him.
BANG
BANG
BANG
Two of the men drop instantly, the last one's not done yet. He coughs multiple times.
"F-Fuck you..." He collapses onto his face.
The man holsters his pistol, you quickly go to grab your bread.
