"We're sorry, were just not interested." Two adults said to a third. "Surely you could reconsider?" The third one pleaded. They left before she could finish. She looked back into the room the two adults had just left "Kyle? Are you okay?"

Inside was a fourteen year old boy named Kyle. He had short black and blue eyes and looked heart broken. He had a glazed look in his eyes like he was going to cry. The woman stepped inside and comforted him "Kyle?" Kyle snapped out of it "I'm fine Ms. Chevone. I really am." He assured her and himself, he was always optimistic. She didn't believe him "Why don't you head off to your room, it's getting late." Kyle nodded and ran off. Mrs. Chevone crossed her arms "One of these days…"

Kyle stormed into his jumped on the old, springy bed. The rest of his room wasn't much of a sight either. Kyle had to reposition himself off of an open spring. He never enjoyed his life at the orphanage. He never got adopted, the other kids bullied him, he was the runt of the entire building. Even younger kids picked on him. However his good outlook on life remained consistent. Now matter what other people said about him. Mrs. Chevone made sure of it.

He always knew why people insulted him. It was because of his arm. On it was a strange black set of markings. It was a set of spirals leading to a strange insignia in the center, looking similar to a dragon, other people told him. Mrs. Chevone suspects it's a birthmark, the kids and parents think it's a tattoo left by his parents before they left him at the doorstep. He didn't know what to believe.

"One of these days…" He assured himself before finally falling asleep. Meanwhile motionless outside Kyle's window was a single crow with a purple eye. Watching Kyle with an evil glare. It spoke in a twisted warped voice "I have found him at last. My lost son."
