(Y/N) POV - 12 YEARS OLD

Well, here I am again. On the ground, bleeding, alone, and with a broken tooth. Wait, you probably don't know who I am, do you? Or, at least not my story. Well, I can't blame you. No one knows of my existence. My name is (Y/N) Xiao Long. I'm the firstborn of Raven Branwen and Taiyang Xiao Long. I'm just three years older than Yang. I don't know why, but ever since I can remember, my family didn't like me. At first, it was just neglect. They would ignore me if I asked or needed something. The physical abuse didn't start until my sixth birthday.

FLASHBACK

It was around noon when it started. I was just lying on my bed, bored out of my mind. Today was my birthday. To me, it wasn't anything special; my parents never celebrated it. I have never even been to someone's birthday, so I don't know how you celebrate one. But today was different, as I heard a knock at my door. "Come in," I tell whoever was at the door. My mother walks in with an uncharacteristic smile. "Hey, (Y/N). How are you doing today?" she says and sits on my bed to my right. Is this happening? Mom asked me how my day was. Did she remember this time?! "It's.... going okay, I guess..." I said hesitantly. "Well, your Father and I have something special for you downstairs. Will you come down in five minutes?" she asks me. "Yeah, I will!" I say with excitement in my voice. She smiles at me again before leaving the room. I couldn't wait, they remembered! And they were getting me a gift! I waited impatiently for five minutes and ran downstairs. When I got down there, I saw a three-year-old Yang on the couch. "Bwother!" she says and runs over to hug me. "Hey, Yang. Where's Mom and Dad?" I asked. "Over here, (Y/N)!" I hear Dad call out from the other side of the room. I hurry over to them. BAM! I receive a blow to the head causing me to fall to the ground. My vision was blurry for a moment, and then I looked up to see my parents standing over me. "Wha-" I was cut off by a kick to the stomach. "Stop! Don't hwrt him!"(not a mistake) Yang grabs Dad's leg. He looks at her, picks her up, and puts her in another room before continuing to beat me senselessly.

PRESENT

So that's how it all started. I asked them why they were doing this multiple times, but the only answer I got was a swift punch. A few days later, Raven left, and Yang started joining in on the beatings; Uncle Qrow would step in whenever he could. It was still hell for me, but Tai then got married to Summer and things started going great. Whenever Tai or Yang would try to hurt me, she, along with Uncle Qrow, would always stop them. Tai wasn't happy about this, but hell, if I cared, he never did. They still didn't like me, they would look at me as if I was a disgrace. When Ruby was born, everything was looking up in my life. Boy, was I wrong. Summer died on a mission about six months ago Uncle Qrow took it the hardest, and everything went to hell. The beatings started again, and they manipulated Ruby to cheer them on; Uncle Qrow would try and correct her, but it wasn't enough. I've about had it with this shit! If I take any more of this, it will kill me or I'll kill myself. That's why I, along with Uncle Qrow's help, have been packing a bag for when I leave this hellhole. "(Y/N)! Get down here now!" I hear Tai call from downstairs. I quickly get off my mattress and go to him. He stares at me for a moment, confused because I never came down this quickly. "Okay, you need to feed Zwei, make dinner because Qrow is coming over, and then wash the dishes afterward." "Yes, sir," I say to him. He leaves the room and I go outside to feed Zwei. He barks happily when he sees me. After that, I begin to prepare dinner. I then serve it to all four of my "family." until Yang purposely kicks out her leg, tripping me and causing the food in my hands to fall on Ruby, making her cry. Tai immediately got pissed and threw me outside, to the dismay of Uncle Qrow. "You might as well get out of here! No one wants you and no one ever will!" with that, he slams the door and locks it from the inside. I sit there for a minute thinking about what he said; Uncle Qrow unlocked the door and stepped outside for a smoke as we looked at each other. "Hey, he said I could leave," I said to him, and he chuckled as he put out the cigarette and walked back inside after wishing me luck. I go over to a hollow tree where I hide when I'm thrown outside. There, I grab a bag that I've been storing with food and weapons when I could. I take it and walk into the woods.

SMALL TIMESKIP - TAI POV

I put (Y/N) outside about an hour ago. We had finished eating dinner, and I realized that he was supposed to do the damn dishes after we ate. I open the front door and call for the little shitter "(Y/N)! You still need to do the dishes!" but I saw no one and heard no response. "Come on, (Y/N)! If you do them, I might let you sleep inside tonight!" again, no one came. 'Fucking Dammit. I guess I did tell him to leave. Now I have to go find his ass.' I thought as I went back inside to get Qrow. "Hey, Qrow. (Y/N) went missing. I need your help to find him." He looks at me with a shocked face. "Why would he leave? He has nowhere to go." "I don't know, man. Let's just get him back before a grimm gets him." He nods, and the girls walk in to see what the commotion is about. "Did (Y/N) really leave?" Yang asks looking concerned. "Yeah, I told him he could, but I didn't mean it. Look, you two, keep an eye out for him, please." "We will," Yang responds and Qrow and I go search for him. 'That little fucking bastard, making me go out there and look for him.' I curse in my mind.

TIMESKIP - 3 HOURS

"Did you find him, Qrow?" I say to him on my scroll. "No sign of him. Ether he got away or a grimm killed him but if that was the case, I would've found his corpse by now." He tells me as I sigh. "Well, as long as he's alive. Go back to the house, we'll try again in the morning." I hang up. I got back to the house, and Yang and Ruby were waiting for me. I told them I couldn't find (Y/N) and to go to bed. After they do, I go to (Y/N)'s room to see if he left anything behind for a clue. Instead, I found a note under his mattress. 'If you are reading this, then either you found this by mistake or I finally ran away. I don't know what I did to make you treat me the way you do, but I'm sorry. I'm sorry I didn't meet your expectations, I'm sorry I couldn't be a good son/brother, and I'm sorry for being your mistake. So I will make it easier for all of us and just leave so I won't be a burden anymore. Please don't come looking for me. If I survive, I won't be the same boy you once knew. I hope I will be strong and prove to you I'm not as weak as you think of me. I would give anything to have a better relationship with all of you, but I guess it will never be. Goodbye, everyone. And damn you. (Y/N) Xiao Long' I couldn't help but be a little hurt. I didn't think he was a mistake. But then why did I treat him that way?

-------------------

Alrighty! That's the first part of the revamped book of Hell on Remnant! This book belonged to ClearAsDirt, who originally wrote the book, but due to personal reasons, they couldn't continue to write this story. So I took the liberty to ask for their blessing (unwarranted, btw), and now it's fallen onto me to finish what they started. I enjoyed the original work before they stopped stating anyone could adopt the book but credit them for the idea. I waited for the book to be taken and rewritten to be released for others to read and enjoy. But no such book arrived, so now I have taken the reins of this project and see how far this will take me. I planned to keep most of what was written intact but add more to it or change up a few things as I go about them. So expect some new things to arrive in the upcoming chapters, and as always, I hope you enjoy; tell me what you think, and I'll see you in the void. Bye!

P. S.

I will be updating this in a manner that will be suitable for me, so please be patient. Ok, thank you, bye!
