He was born Leif Godfrey Hackett. He was knwon most of his life as 'The Hessian', or 'The Headless horseman'. Leif had been troubled all his life, leading to his death, and after life......
Ch. 1, The Boy within An eight year old Leif shut his eyes as he heard the sickening scream of his mother. He watched as the guards hauled her headless body away. Leif was now an orphan. His parents killed for politcal reasons. His tired faced uncle came and pulled him along down a dirt path to a small country house. Leif was to stay there. Be a good kid. But how could he? 3 years later-- "Fight,fight,fight,fight!" people form everywhere shouted. 12 year old Leif lay on the ground, an 18 year old beating the shit out of him. Leif watched the blood pour down his nose, back to his ears and up to his icy blue eyes.His once deathly pale skin now stained with blood. He had long since surrendered. Now, the school master waltzed out of the class room and slowly pulled the older boy off of Leif. "Either of you get in a fight again you are expelled! Forever!" The master almost threw the older boy across the road and helped Leif up.
Leif wiped his bloody nose with his arm, the warm maroon substance rubbing all over him. Poor Leif, he was always picked on. He was always small and he had an ittelectual mind at the time,not the bloody one he was to have. Leif waked home, jumping over fences and ducking under rails. He must've looked wild, for he never tamed his thick brown hair and with the dirty,blood lined school uniform. Anna then popped out. "Hear you are in trouble,Leif. Did you get in a fight again?" Leif nodded. Anna was his best friend, a true friend. Her father was a wealthy Hessian and her mother was an Arabic/Isaeli brought to germany to marry Anna's father. Leif, even at twelve, had fallen in love with Anna. She was very beautiful in his eyes, dark curly black hair and gree/blue eyes. She looked liek a princess. "You shoudl stay away form those bastards Leif! They will only hurt you!"
Leif nodded again. Anna grabbed his arm,"Now let's get you cleaned up!"
