"Mom, what are you doing what's wrong?" A little boy about age ten said. He was looking at his mother who was frantically packing a suitcase for her and her son.

"It's ok sweety. We're leaving. And we hae to leave your father here. If we don't then he'll just hurt you. And I don't want that to happen to my baby. Youj understand right honey?" His mother said quite calmly and composed. He knew his mother loved his father. But because of the beating he took the last time she didn't want to be here anymore.

"I understand. But why are we leaving? I can take a few hits that dad throws at me. I don't want him to hurt you for my sake. Because you know he will if we run." He explained. It was true. Yes, he could take the beatings his father was giving him. But his father was hurting her any.

"We're leaving because you are a special kind of child. And there are children like you to where we're going. And you'll be much safer there." She said as she shut the suitcases and walked out with her son following close behind. "Now let's get going so we don't miss our train, k?"

Ayumu had just woken up and was on the roof of the school just like he usually is. And what surprised him the most was the dream he just had. He hasn't thought about that since his brother disappeared. But he never really thought he needed to dwell on it. He was told what he was when his mother and him had settled in.

"Mom?" The young boy asked.

"Yes sweety? What is it?" His mother replied as soon as she heard her son question her name.

"Well I was wondering now that we're settled in. Could you tell me the real reason why we left? I may not be look it but I'm smarter than you think Mom. And it's not just because dad was abusing me right?" The boy questioned.

His mother gave a sigh. "I can't get anything past you can I?" The boy just stared and listened. "Ayumu honey, Have you ever felt a pain in your chest? Like something's supposed to be there but isn't?"

Ayumu nodded and lifted his shirt to show his mother that she was correct. He pulled his shirt back down and looked at his mother. "Why am I missing a rib?"

"It's because you're a... you're a..." She trailed off. On the brink of tears looking at the young Ayumu. "You're a Blade Child."

"What is that?" Ayumu questioned.

"You'll know when you're older." The mother replied and went back to unpack a few more things.

Ayumu sghed. 'Why? Why am I like this? What the hell is a Blade Child if I am one of them?' Ayumu thought as he sighed again. He really needed an explaination. But the bell had interrupted his thoughts. As he got up from laying on the roof he felt somebody watching him. He turned around... but no one was there.

Ayumu shook his head. "I must be more tired than I thought." He told himself as he left to go through the door to go down the stairs and out the door to go home. He stopped outside the school's gates. 'Home. Now there's a laugh.' He sighed for what felt like the hundredth time today and walked home.

And as he was walking home a person lurking in the shadows was right behind him. Not knowing the boy knew he was following.
