Infamy: I kind of don't own everything except Asar. But In due time I'll own something

Chapter 1: When rage consumed me

I was only eight years old when the worst happened… My mother and I were just coming back from a movie theater in Manhattan where we watched a movie I forced myself to forget.

We had just entered in the door to my two bedroom apartment, when we saw this man robbing our house. I was unfortunately terrified and stood behind my mother in fear. Then this man in a scary black mask dressed in all black.

"Hey! Don't try anything funny!" The scary man shouted. Then my mother pulls out a knife. "Don't you come closer or I'll throw this knife! Why come here, you see this little boy behind me? He is my son, look at his face". She said.

Then the scary man set his eyes on me. "look how scared he is, how dare you do this to him, he is only eight years old and you come into our house and try to steal from us, you will forever scar him, he didn't do anything, why come here?" She said.

"SHUT UP!" He shouted in guilt. Then he fatally pulled the trigger and suddenly my mom fell to the floor. I watched all this in shock and fear. "Mom? Mom?! Please get up Mom Please!" I shouted while in tears. She appeared to be crying as well but with a small smile. "Asar… I want to let you know that...No matter what Please do not harm anyone please…for me. I want to live a life and be strong… I love you…Now…Run". She said her last words just then. "NOOOOOOOOOOOO!" I screamed out. "MOM! MOM! Please wake up! You can't be dead. NO! You can't be Dead!". I shook her body trying to wake her up, but nothing…. I started sobbing… But I did what she instructed and ran away. It was 9:45 in the evening and I was running for my life… alone…by myself in the darkness and in the cold freezing weather. I ending up hearing while I was in a dark corner, "There he is, Let's Get Him!" in the distance I looked and they were chasing the same guy who shot my mother. He hopped in his car and sped off and the police ended up losing him.

I stopped one officer while all the rest of the cops and detectives were at my front doorstep. "Hey kiddo." He said to me kneeling down because of my height. "I'm sorry about your mother, I have no idea what type of pain you're going through but I promise we're gonna find this guy and bring him in."

"You don't care!" I said snarling. "You're only doing this to make a profit!"

"Listen kid, you may feel that right now but in due time you'll understand the duties of a police officer". He tried to explain.

Then he put his hand on my shoulder. "Don't touch me!" I said angry. "My mom is dead and you weren't even there To save her!...Do You know how scared I was?... How defenseless I feel right now?! No…no you don't".

"I promise, I will find this guy and put him in jail for the rest of his life". The Officer promised.

I just looked away in silence. Then he asked "do you have any family members that you could stay with? Where's your daddy?"

"He died in a car accident two years ago". I said sadly.

He paused for a brief moment before asking "Any aunts or uncles?"

"Yeah." I responded. "My aunt Athena lives in Queens."

"What part of Queens?" he asked.

"Queens village." I answered.

"Ok, I'll take you there, but first grab your things". He said.

"Ok". I said.

I went inside and grabbed what I could and got out. Then suddenly I was struck with pain. I screamed out as I was on the floor screaming in pain, while the officer yelled "Call the ambulance now!"

Then I blacked out…

I woke up in a hospital.

The officer was sitting in a chair right next to me…

"Hey kid." He said calmly.

"What happened?" I asked woozy.

"You blacked out…and the doctors said you passed out from shock but…the pain could be some sort of affect only you feel." The officer explained.

"Where's my mom?..." I asked.

"She's in a better place now." The officer said.

Then it all came back to me. The scary man, my mom being shot, and me running away in tears. The shattering pain came back for a brief moment in my chest.

"DOCTOR!" The officer shouted.

I blacked out as soon as the doctor came in the room…

I woke up to the officer waking me up and the female nurse standing beside him.

"Ugh…what's happening to me?" I asked disoriented.

"You seem to have sickle-cell anemia". The officer told me.

"You've had it since you were born, your mother kept you healthy and it just never struck your body."

"So...that's what's causing the pain?" I asked. "This sickle-cell?"

"Yeah." The officer said. "Unfortunately it'll say with you for the rest of your life, the only way you'll be able to avoid is if you stay healthy. No drugs, no alcohol, or anything unhealthy in the future when you grow older."

"I'm the nurse here, shouldn't I be telling him these important factors?" The female nurse asked.

"Well nurse, you kind of took too long." The officer retorted. "Why don't you explain what sickle-cell is?"

"Sickle cell anemia is a disease passed down through families. The red blood cells which are normally shaped like a disc take on a sickle or crescent shape. Red blood cells carry oxygen to the body causing blood clotting causing pain." The doctor explained.

I was silent for 30 seconds when the nurse told me that. It's like 'damn, first my mom is dead, now I find out I have sickle cell, the f-k else could happen?'

"I forgot to ask what's your name kid?" the officer asked.

"Asar." I answered.

"Ok Asar. Tomorrow morning I'm taking you to your Aunt Athena's house tomorrow."

"Ok". I answered.

I went to sleep an half an hour later…

Ok, hope you liked chapter 1 it's basically interlude into Asar's life.

It was chapter one I'll see if I can upload more today.
