He is the first part of my new story. My other one will get finished so don't worry. This story is a lot more serious than my other one, so I hope you enjoy it.

2 Prologue: The child

The child sat in the corner of the room, with silent tears rolling down his pale cheeks. He wore a loose, white, cotton jumper and white, cotton trousers and his feet were bare. The room he was in had clean white walls and the only object that was in the room, with the boy, was a bed with leather restraints fixed to it.

The boy was about five years old and he hugged his legs, as he stared solemnly at the door on the opposite side of the room. Just then the door slid open and a man and a woman entered, wearing lab coats. They slowly started to approach the boy huddled in the corner.

The boy huddled further into the corner with wide, frightened eyes, desperate to get away from the two people, who had just entered the room. He started to whimper, as the man and woman bent down next to him.

"It's ok. Hush. Don't be afraid," the woman whispered soothingly as she stroked the boy's ebony hair.

She then wrapped an arm around the boy's waist and held him to her. With her other hand she held his left wrist, to her chest, so that he couldn't lash out with it. The man held the boy's right arm in a firm grip. He slid the boy's sleeve up slightly and then pulled a syringe, containing a clear liquid, out of his pocket.

The boy started to struggle when he saw the syringe and his whimpers became sobs. The woman did her best to try and calm the child whilst trying to keep him still.

"Don't struggle. Nothing bad is going to happen. The doctor is just going to give you an injection. It's alright," the woman said as she stared into the boy's terrified eyes.

Her words did little to calm the boy. As the doctor stuck the needle into the boy's arm, the boys sobs turned into screams and he thrashed about within the woman's arms. Fresh tears fell from his eyes as the liquid was injected into him.

Once all the liquid had been injected the doctor removed the needle and put the syringe back into his pocket. He stared at the sobbing child for a while, then he slowly stood up. The boy's thrashing started to cease as the sedative that had been injected into him started to take affect.

The woman gently picked the boy up and carried him over to the bed. She lay him down and looked at the trembling boy for a while before she followed the doctor towards the door. She glanced back at the boy one last time before she left the room.

The boy continued to sob and through his sobs he uttered five, simple words.

"I want to go home."

As the words left his lips he drifted into an uneasy sleep, hoping that one day he could leave the mental institution he was in.

AN – I hope you found that interesting. The next chapter will be up soon. Please read and review.
