Chapter 1

Will Carter had been perfectly content with his life. For ten years it was regular, just the life another English kid. He lived with his father Logan and his older brother Patrick in a flat in London. He'd never met his mum, no, his father said that she had left when he was a baby and had passed away a little while later. At first Will had felt strange, having no mum while all the other kids at school had one, even Patrick had one, although she and Logan weren't on very good terms but at least he had a family. Logan Carter was the manager of an Adidas shop and managed to make enough to keep the family afloat. Patrick was sixteen, in high school and had never been mugged.

Both boys were decently educated and in good physical shape, however Patrick was an excellent footballer who represented the school and was well liked by everyone and Will was one of the top students in his class and a blue belt in karate. Patrick had always looked out for his younger brother, knowing that sometimes Will felt uncertain about things, growing up without a mum. Yes life was not perfect but it was pretty good for Will Carter.

Then it all happened. The event that twisted Will's life around. His father and Patrick had gone to a dentist appointment, regarding Patrick possibly needing braces. Will was at school when it happened. It was a usual day, chatting to friends about football, video games, teacher bashing and how completely unprepared they were for the history test on World War 2.

"Will Carter, report to Mr Kane's office. Will Carter, report to Mr Kane's office," came a voice from the intercom.

"Will, you better go," Mrs Fields, Will's teacher spoke to him as the bell rang to signal fourth period. A couple of kids made an Oooooh sound and one girl called out "What'd you do?" before he left to go to the principal's office.

Will made his way to the principals office, passing Ms Sherry, the school secretary who shot him a sympathetic look, he knew that something was wrong because Ms Sherry had the same glaring look on her face all the time to every kid in the school. He opened the principal's door and knocked on the wall.

"You wanted to see me sir?" he asked politely.

Mr Kane was tall with a head full of dark brown hair and hardened facial features that made you wonder if he was even capable of smiling or showing any emotion. Even when he was angry his face showed no emotion other than being solemn. But the look of sympathy on his face made Will worry.

"You might want to sit down for this Will," he said ushering will to a seat in front of his desk.

"Is everything alright Mr Kane?" Will asked although he was pretty sure that he knew something was definitely off.

"I'm sorry Will, but there's been an accident," he took a deep breath. "There's no easy way to say this but, your father and brother were in a car crash. There was a lot of blood...well...you see, they didn't make it. I am very sorry for your loss, Will, I really am."

Will wanted to say something, he really did but he couldn't bring himself to. Dad and Patrick, dead. He was officially all alone, he bit back his lip to stop himself from crying but after about ten seconds he couldn't help it and the ten year old broke out in tears. He couldn't take it, the only family he'd ever known were gone forever. Suddenly everything went dark.
