Prologue: Something Wrong
Once upon a time there was child named Matt. He was a very lonely boy. He had trouble talking and didn't get good grades.
He got teased a lot for that and made no friends. One day after he watched a movie, he unwittingly made a friend.
His name was Fred. Over the months Matt made even more friends. He loved his imaginary buddies very much.
Matt didn't like bright colors very much, his eyes were quite sensitive to them. So his friends weren't very colorful.
Big, bright smiles unnerved Matt. So they don't look very cheery. He didn't want his friends to look exactly like everyone elses. So they look quite unique. Unfortunatly, unique isn't the word most people would use.
They much rather use the words vile, scary, horrible, twisted, ugly, freakish and just plain wrong. But he didn't care.
All his friends needed were him and he needed them. But his parents didn't see it that way.
They were so embarrassed they forbid Matt from being with them. They were so embarrassed they couldn't send them to Foster's home for fear people would know Matt made them. They did have the 'special mark' Matt uses.
So they kept them in the basement. But that didn't stop Matt. He came by one day and set them free.
His parents found out. His parents were very disappointed in Matt. They said he wasn't aloud to make any more of these vile, evil creatures'. Matt begged them to let him keep his two most dear friends. The only ones that stayed when he got them out of the basement. Fred and his brother Iz they were called. His parents said he can if he makes a 'good friend' thinking he would love the 'good friend' so much he'd abandon Fred and Iz.
Matt knew by good they meant cute. So he made a friends that looks like those adorable bears with hearts on their chests he saw on TV once. Only She was a pengiun. She had 'fun', bright patterns like flowers and polkadots. Not to mention hearts.
She was named after his mother Gloria but is usually called Glory.
Matt didn't like her very much. Infact he stayed away from her and yelled at her when he thinks no one is around.
No he didn't like her very much. And no one was sure why. Not even Fred and Iz.
One day, Matt had the worst day in his entire life. Besides seeing his buddies locked away in the basement.
His friend, Fred was thrown in jail for attacking Matt's art teacher. Iz and Matt haven't seen Fred since. He still hasn't made any friends. People look at him with fear because they know Fred is his.
All this happend in three years. Matt is ten now and something horrible is going to happen to him and Iz...
