O.K. everyone, this is the same story as on my other account, PsychoScientist. Again, this is my first fanfiction and it will probably not be very good at the beginning. So yeah...

Chapter 1

"Cannonball!" yelled Luffy as he jumped into the water. Ace, 11, Sabo, 11, and Luffy, 8, were all swimming in the lake neat their cabin in the woods where they lived with Dadan, their adoptive mother. It was pitch black, the nest time the boys though to be out swimming. The splash Luffy made was big. The three brothers laughed, life was good for them despite being poor.

That was life before the fire.

It was so sudden, one moment peaceful slumber and the next complete chaos. Their cabin was on fire. Sabo and Ace helped Luffy out of the window in their room. After throwing Luffy out the window, Ace jumped out and then Sabo. But, when Sabo jumped out, his jacket and shirt caught fire. He tried rolling on the ground but all that did was catch the grass on fire as well. Soon, all of him was in flames. All the while Luffy was screaming and crying hysterically, and Ace was trying to stop the fire. Unfortunately it was too late. Sabo was being burned alive and there was nothing Ace could do to help. He could only watch in horror as his brother was slowly dying. Watching the flames, those that his brother was drowning in. Then it was over. Luffy was still crying, but his screaming had ceased. His cries were slowing becoming quiet sobs as the death of his brother started to sink in. Ace's body became too weak to hold him up and he fell to his knees, the only thing on his mind was Sabo is dead. It simply repeated itself until he passed out.
