*puffball falls in front of Ace*
Ace: What on... where did you come from?
Unknown puffball: I don't know! I can't remember...
Ace: Oh, umm... I guess we should start the first chapter...
I let my sister pull me down...
I let my father beat me...
I let my mother curse me...
I let my brother put me down...
I let myself go.
Black.
Sinking into the darkness, I could feel all of my emotions draining out of me. Anger. Sadness. Remorse. Hope. But not love. I never loved somebody, and nobody has ever loved me, but I never let go of the dream that someday, some one would at least try to.
My emotions slowly trickled back in, and my world turned from black, to white, to red.
I opened my eyes.
The night sky.
This is the story of the night.
Every night.
And I would always crawl back to that place full of people welcoming me back, telling me they were family (though I knew they were not my real family; I never knew them), and then the next night, and the next...
Not again. Not ever again.
I struggled to my feet. I never looked back at my hell as I walked away. Then I saw it.
There were lights in the distance. Lights from a town. A town they always told me I could never reach.
Cappytown.
