Chapter 1: An Offer
Road's POV
I wandered the streets for a while, scavenging for scraps people might have thrown out.
This was my life since I was 10 years old, when my parents and relatives were murdered by a serial killer - for their ability to create illusions. I was the only surviving member of our clan, and I was still being hunted down.
Should I go "home"?
Yes, my mind agreed.
Sighing, I trudged back to an alleyway with a pathetic little box.
That box was my home, and probably always will be. My stomach was growling, but I ignored it, as I always did, every day. Curling up inside, I fell asleep.
I woke up to the sound of roaring cars and people talking. It was a normal day.
Crawling out, I immediately began my search for food. I walked out of the alleyway, and -
Crash!
I bumped into someone.
Oh no….
"I'm so sorry!" I cried out, and bowed.
I heard no response, so I looked up.
Staring right back at me was a man in his early-40s. His black hair fell to one side, and he was looking at me with curious eyes.
He suddenly gestured to the alleyway.
"Do you live here?" He asked.
I nodded.
"Poor girl. Do you have no family?"
I nodded again.
"Do you want one?"
I nodded for the third time, albeit a bit hesitantly.
"Here," He reached into his bag and gave me a rather large chunk of bread. The smell made my eyes water. Then, he gave me a card.
"If you want, you can come live with my family whenever you feel lonely or hungry. We'd be very happy to take you in. My name's Tyki Mikk."
Why was he so kind? I asked myself.
Even though I knew not to talk to strangers, my heart leapt with some kind of happiness. My heart also said that I should go with him, so I wouldn't have anymore sadness in my life.
Following it, I gave the card with his information on it back to him.
"My name is Road. Thank you so much for your offer, and I would gladly go with you to your family. Please take care of me?"
He smiled, and said a bit conspiratorially,"I think that you would like my family."
Taking my hand, he led my off to his home and I knew, that finally, my life had started to get better.
