Flashback…

Rachel Roth sighed loudly, driving through the Emerald street in Jump City. It was another stressful day at her high school, she couldn't think of anything in her Creative writing class, and she froze up when trying to talk to her recent heartthrob, Malchior.

Her friend, Kori, a European foreigner, says Raven has the "Insect in her intestines" which Rachel hopes she means "Butterflies in her stomach" which she does, and she must admit it to herself. She's fallen in love with the foreign, white-haired, pale-skinned Malchior.

'I must really have fallen for him hard…and none of our friends would have thought I'd fall in love…He smells so good….Focus, you don't want to get in a car accident, Rachel!'

Rachel continued to drive, finally reaching her house. It sat there silently, a huge mansion-like building, with a u-shaped garden surrounding it, and a T being spelled in a fountain near the sidewalk. The house address, 666 was enough of a bad omen to tell any onlooker that this house is not a place to be making any form of good will at.

Rachel, parking her car in front of this house, steps out. She sighs loudly, walking to the back of her car, shoulder-length purple hair bopping along with her, the sleeves of her sweater being scrunched up by her angry hands, and baggy pants dragging on the asphalt of the barren road.

She reaches into her trunk and pulls out her backpack, to look up and see a youth dancing bizarrely on her front lawn. She looks at this boy bizarrely 'His hair…its…Green? Who has green hair?'

This green haired boy had a peach complexion, an ancient walkman by his baggy, obviously too large, jeans. His shirt was torn at one sleeve, and the other sleeve was far too long and drooped off his arm. He apparently had no shoes and was singing loudly

"Prom-Night dumpster Baby…"

Before he collapsed to the ground…

Flashback…

A nun is conversing with a green-haired youth in a room filled with queen-sized beds..

"Garfield, we are all troubled with your behavior...After the death of your parents, no one wants to adopt you...What do your call yourself?"

Garfield shrugs his shoulder, his shoulder length, eye covering, green hair going up with his shoulder "I guess…I'm a prom night dumpster baby.."

The Nun slams her hands on the table she is sitting on "You know your parents loved you, Garfield! Wake up out of your little depression! Wake up and smell the hope!"

Garfield looks at the nun in confusion "Smell…hope?" The nun sighs and walks out "Wake up, Garfield…

"…Wake up.."

Garfield bursts up and sees a purple-haired youth by his side. He takes one second to take her appearance in 'She's…pretty..'

"Oh! You're awake!" She starts to leer at Garfield "..Who are you..? Why did you pass out on my lawn..?" she sighs loudly, obviously outraged. Garfield obviously ignores her, and takes in her room…a nice, serene blue, with a few crows with four red eyes painted on the wall, and a tree that appears to be sprouting from her bed, housing more painted crows.

'This is….something more out of a dream than a room…' Garfield looks back at the girl, who is now staring at him in confusion "…My name is…Gary…and, I don't really know why I was at your house…"

Rachel looks at this boy, trying to find his eyes 'He…looks like a bum…his clothes torn and everything… I should be hospitable..' Gary looks at her "What's going on..? Look, I have to find a new place to sleep so.."

"…Would you like to stay at my house? I'll take care of you and everything, you just have to come to school with me...I can't leave you for my father to see." Gary immediately tenses up, his now unveiled emerald green eye laced with anger "I…don't…do…schools.."

Rachel looks at him, a calm, yet just as intimidating glare sent back "Fine…but you're still going… Now, get some more sleep…"

Garfield sighed and laid on her bed, grumbling softly. "Fine…You owe me big, whoever you are!" Rachel chuckled, and laid on the floor, looking up at Gary "My name is Rachel. Rachel Roth."

Flashback….

A small, green-haired youth was running, desperately, but he did not know where he was going. He was in a forest, that is all he knew.

"Mommy!!! Daddy!! Where are you?! Help me!!" the boy continued to run frantically, never looking back, always running forward. The boy then tripped on a tree branch and fell. He started to sniffle, tears welling up in his eyes…..

He then, after running for so long, looked back. He saw a green monster running at him, blood dripping from it's mouth, an arm hanging out of it. The boy then started to whimper, unable to move because of fear.

"Mommy…It ate Nana!!! Please, Mommy!!! Heeeeelp!!!" the boy then saw smoke appearing in front of him, taking on the shape of an attractive blonde woman with a Marilyn Monroe hairstyle. "Son, you have to take care of yourself from now on. You're a big boy now." The blonde figure then ruffled his hair.

Another figure came forth, a somewhat skinny, brown-haired man, who chuckled "That's right, m'boy. You can't rely on us forever!! Not when you become something like THAT!!" the two figures then pointed at the green monster, now looming in front of the child, panting heavily. The small boy looked at the monster "I can't be….No, Mommy, Daddy…I can't be that thing…it ate you two!!"

The two figures then appeared right next to the green monster "You killed us, Gary! Killed us!! You must never forget this day!!!"

Gary woke up, in a cold sweat. He looked at his hands, shivering. He pressed his legs against his chest, curling his arms around them "….I didn't kill them…" a single tear rains down his face "I didn't…".

THE END.

A somewhat short chapter, eh?

Author's Notes!!!

1. I thought of doing something interesting. I got this idea from….I actually have no real idea.

2. Gary has a pretty bad past, eh?

3. Rachel may seem like a somewhat throw-away character, but just you watch, she'll be important in the next few chapters.
