After the attack on you and your parents, you were put into a few families but nothing stuck because you would never open up, but no one could replace your family. Your sister on the other hand had immediately been put into a church orphanage. She had been at one of her friends sleep overs the night of the attack she would've been taken in by them but that family couldnt adopt her or you because of some old document or what ever. But after about 6 households or so and nothing fitting you were also taken in by the church which was worse because your sister would torment and bully you for letting your parents go away and then the nightmares came.

"Y/n! Run!"

The man's knife comes down on your parents as they force you behind them.

Shhhlck! Splat!

Drip..

Drip..

Drip..

"I've been looking for you... ...Y/N. You've grown so big!

The man crouches down and takes ahold of your shoulders, his smile growing wider as he peers into your eyes with his own burning coals.

Tears pouring out of your eyes in both worlds, you plead "pl..please let m-me go-o!" You struggle but the man's strength is infinite.

"But Y/N... we've just met again surely you dont wanna leave. HE'S got big plans for you, I'm just helping you out making you reeeaaal big and strong."

You spotted his knife on the ground and ducked out of the mans grip grabbing it and spinning, putting the knife into the man as he turned to grab you again, shock turning to glee as he saw your face.

"Look at...you so...Big...and strong..."

The same images and phrases kept echoing and returning each day and night until one day it became too much.

Tantruming in the bedroom of the orphanage, all the other kids huddling in the corner, your sister included all occasionally ducking as something flew at them. An attendant came in and hurried the other children out and then proceeding to calm you.

The tantrums continued, getting worse, sometimes with the other children getting hurt. It was eventually deemed too unsafe to keep you at the orphanage and were thus transferred to another facility that were able to handle difficult situations. That was where you met asia, it was a mandatory thing apparently everyone did it because she had a gift from god, a healing gift. You were restrained as she put her glowing hands on each side of your head, the nightmares srung into mind slow at first but rolling by like a train and after all you had seen had passed, you couldnt remember the nightmares. The faces and words were gone.

You looked at Asia in shock, awe, and gratefulness.

"Thank you."

"If your really thankful kid why dont you help out the church and her, be her protector of sorts." A voice came from behind you.

You turned to look and had to look up at two men, one with red long hair, and the other with black and blonde.

The one with black hair spoke first
"We can help you move on from what happened, well not that we need to help you do that but we can help you grow and help you protect those you have left."

And after that you accepted their offer, you had learned years later the black and blondes mans name was Zaz or thats what he wanted you to call him, you had never met the red head again although he was apparently a good friend of Zaz's along with another that  Zaz said you would meet when you where ready.
