Torrents of unmerciful raindrops rapidly fell from the dark, night sky. Harsh, gale force winds whipped at the face of the only person that seemed to be out in the ferocious weather. His blonde hair had become flat from the unavoidable shower and small, cold droplets were falling from his shivering skin. His teeth chattered together furiously as his body struggled to keep warm. Every inch of his clothes was drenched and had become heavier from the added weight of the rain. The only thing that helped him to see the path ahead of him, were the street lights that provided the route with a slightly faded, orange glow.
Slowly, one by one, each of his feet took a small step. Each step was filled with tiredness and agony. He had been walking a long while and wasn't making much progress.
The raindrops were not the only form of droplets that were falling from something so previously beautiful. Tear droplets also fell from the delicate eyelashes of the boy who wandered the night time streets. His eyes used to be so bright and so full of love... Now, they were full of pain and regret.
The boy couldn't help but reflect back on what caused him to leave his home that night. That argument that blazed viciously for hours, setting the atmosphere on fire. The argument that had occurred between himself and his other half. His twin brother.
''You're so pathetic! All you ever do is cry and feel sorry for yourself! Why don't you just get up and leave? Nobody wants you here, Lucas! I hate you!''
Another tear escaped the boy's cerulean eyes. Just recalling the scene made him feel as though a stake had pierced through his heart. He felt so unwanted.
''Hey, what's the matter?'' A seemingly soothing voice filled Lucas's ears.
Lucas brought his fists to his eyes and gently rubbed them. ''N-nothing...'' He stuttered as he turned to face the mystery person. ''I-I'm okay.''
''Nonsense.'' The unidentified person said. ''I've been watching you. I can tell that you're upset.''
''Y-you've been watching m-me?'' Lucas's heart began to thump a little faster than usual. He didn't know this person and they had been watching him? That doesn't seem right.
''Yes, I've been watching you for a while now actually.'' The person gave a sickening smile, bearing all of their teeth and sliding their tongue across them all.
Lucas's heart was beating louder and faster by the second. He was certain that it was going to come out of his throat any minute. ''I- I have t-to go.'' He quickly span on his heel and started to walk at a speedy pace, intending to escape the mystery person. But something stopped him.
The person grabbed hold of Lucas's collar and pulled him back with an abrupt force. ''Where do you think you're going?'' They growled. ''You're coming with me.''
Lucas took a deep breath and screamed. He screamed so loud that it echoed throughout the street. But the street was vacant. Nobody was around and all the houses that were surrounding them were abandoned.
''Scream all you want. Me and you are alone. Nobody will hear you.'' The person eerily whispered into Lucas's ear.
Tears were now falling from the boy's cerulean eyes at the same uncontrolling rate as the rain. His fate was now in this mysterious, unidentified person's hands. ''P-please let me go!'' He struggled, his voice came out as a choke.
''In your dreams, Lucas.'' The person spat.
Lucas's body stiffened. Did this mystery person just say his name?
The person noticed the sudden stop in struggle from the boy. They laughed to themself. ''That's right. I know who you are. In fact, my master will be pleased that I have finally captured you.''
''Y-you planned th-this kidnap?'' Lucas sobbed, body shaking from fear and cold.
''Yes. Don't worry. I'm sure my master will enclose the details to you when we arrive at the underground hideout.'' The mystery person sneered.
''But, please! I just want t-to go home! I w-want my mummy and d-daddy!'' Lucas stuttered, lips quivering as his eyes poured.
''Aww, poor you.'' The person dug their fingers into Lucas's arm and dragged him away. Despite the desperate screams and cries, the unidentified person managed to pull him along two abandoned streets, two isolated hills and past a polluted river. To the underground hideout.
A/N: Shitty introduction, I know. This is my first kidnap story ever. Now that I have the kidnapping part done, in the next chapter you will find out why Lucas has been kidnapped. And there will be further drama in the chapters to come.
I just want to enclose with you that Claus and Lucas obviously had an argument over something and Claus didn't just say what he said in this chapter for no reason.
I appreciate reviews as they indicate on my weak and strong points in each fanfiction. Thank you to those who take the time to review! I posted this because I made a poll and you voted for it to be published. (I wasn't going to publish it due to the depressing theme)
I listened to the extended version of Home Sweet Home from the Mother 3 soundtrack whilst writing this. I listened to it for about half an hour straight. Fuck yeah, Mother 3!
