Many Faces
Chapter 6: (If this one had a title, it'd be, Heero's Past, but, I don't title my chapters anymore, too much work.)
A small babe with messy brown hair gurgled happily as it's parents drove the car on the colony's usual perfect night, only when the drunk driver came around the curve on the wrong side of the road did either know that they were doomed. The child was given to what seemed at the time like a kind- hearted old man. The child's destiny was as set as his parent's were the night they took that road through the night. The man treated the child all right for a while, but then came the breaking of the boy's soul in his large hand. It started with beatings and cursing, then came the cuts.
One night, however, the man came home, drunk ass that he was, and did the unthinkable, he stole the child's innocence, he crushed the last of the boy's heart, he destroyed what was there..... And liked it. Afterwards, he'd try to rebuild the boy, only to crush the almost normal boy again underneath his sweaty body. So, he lied, oh, the man lied and lied so much... He told the child it was part of the mobile suit training he was going through at the time. The boy soon became carefree again upon such lies. This lasted until the boy was thirteen, when the old man was yelled at by his peers for having such a weak person. The poor already broken boy was snapped in two like a careless twig later that night and many after. Until a sheet of ice enveloped his heart, his soul turned to stone. The boy was now a man, a man with no emotion. The boy never did live happily ever after, he forgot about his past demons, and took on a fake name one as without emotions as he himself was. But, he would have to face his demons to fix the damage done to him by the old man. The boy's name was..... Heero Yuy.
