Kai's P.O.V


It's so dark in the woods. I'm soaked through and through by the gushing rain and my bones feel like they're made of ice. Now I am free, but I fear for my life. Finally, I could escape from the dreadful place I once called home. No longer will I have to take the abuse and neglect from my mother and her boyfriends. Still, I have to keep moving.

Twigs and thickets slap me and thorns stab through to skin, but my feet never falter. Unable to run any longer, I stumble into a deserted park and sit on a bench. Hanging my head low, I finally fall apart. I must have fallen asleep some point in my broken state. As I wake, I notice a figure standing a few yards away. As he stepped into the light, it was like seeing for the first time.
