Tech's back story
I walked through the forest; it's been a week, since I left home. Maybe I should go back? No, the authorities had surely reached there already. And in any case, I had nothing to go back to. I thought back to a few hours ago, when I came back from work. I went through the door, and saw my mother's dead body. Lloyd was sitting there on the couch, rum in hand. I always made sure that I came home before he did, just so this wouldn't happen. It's my fault. I didn't think when I took my bow and… I shook my head, he deserved it. Ever since my mom married him, he had abused us. It never got this bad, because I was always there to protect her. Now that I thought about it, my mom never stopped him. I shook my head again. This wasn't the time to think about the past, I had to think about what I will do now. I still had my job; all I needed to do was to find a place to stay. I had everything planned, so why did I still feel lost? My stomach grumbled, I picked some fruits and berries and ate it. I saw a river, and I went over to it. I bent over it, and looked at my reflection. My black hair was in its usual spiked style, my face was pale, and my light brown eyes were… I splashed water on my face violently; I shook away the excess water. It was getting dark; I climbed up a tree, and went to sleep. When I woke up it was morning, I got up and climbed down the tree. I trekked through the forest, consumed by my own thoughts. I should have done this before, took my mom and lived here in the forest. A small whisper passed through my mind, something that I had forgotten.
"You look just like him" My mom once said that, after my dad died.
My mom had punished me for looking like my dad; she blamed me for the monster attack, which took him away from us. She only married Lloyd for the money, so that we could survive. She punished me by letting him abuse me, I sighed. Without me knowing I reached the town of Falconreach, maybe this was a sign? I never really believed in signs. I went in; I saw an Inn, and went inside. I looked around, the place was packed. I saw a young man about my age, who was staring at me. I went to him, not knowing what else to do. A part of me thought that, he would be able to understand my troubles, and wouldn't judge me. I didn't know what made me think that, or if I really believed it.
"Can I sit here, all the tables are taken" He nodded.
I sat down and he pushed his plate of unfinished food toward me, I took a piece and smiled. I realized that in someway, somehow, he did understand. Now I will live my life, and leave the past behind. A new adventure awaits.
