Author's Notes: I might as well move Knightbrace a.k.a. Micheal's life along until he's a teen,Besides,The last three chapters dealt with his child-hood.

And Sure,Ahhelga..I'll add Numbuh 13. (Numbuh 13- WHAT!?

Me- I thought it'd be neat =P

Numbuh 13- You are so dead for that -_-

Riiight.) - Dark Angel

Chapter Four: Traumatic Changes

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

September 17th,1985

The sounds of foot-steps echoing in the alley way could be heard,15 year old Micheal sped through there -- He was already late for that meeting with his so called 'friends'.He grumbled as his black trench-coat flew behind him -- He no longer wore his glasses,His blonde hair was slicked back for once as his reddish-brown eyes narrowed.The chains on his jeans chiming every step he took.

'How could I have stayed there so late?!' He thought as he rushed towards a nearby neighborhood,His thoughts were spinning -- Faster and Faster as he ran forward.But something nearby caught his attention -- Caused him to stop running all at once.He looked over to see a man running from 3 rabid looking dogs.

The man pulled the gun before the bullet peirced the heart of one of the dogs.The other two leapt forward pinning the poor man to the ground.Micheal tried to sheild his eyes from the sight but couldn't.The two dogs mercilessly tore into the man's flesh -- The man screaming and writhering in agony.They weren't killing him,They were FEASTING on him...Micheal's eyes went wide.

'I better get out of here before they see me...' He thought as he took off at lightning speed towards his friend's house,Ignoring the pounding of his heart he raced as fast as he could forward away from the scene.He finally ran up the cement steps of the house,out of breath he banged on the door.The sound of blaring music could be heard from somewhere in the house.

John Wink opened the door,Micheal was almost blasted backwards by the loud music.

"COULD YOU TURN THE MUSIC DOWN?" Micheal managed to yell of the blaring music.John shook his head and turned down the music before letting Micheal in.

"You look out of breath,What happened?" John asked,Mimi also looked over worry filling her eyes.Everyone's attention turned to Micheal who stood there struggling to regain his breath.

"I..saw a man out there...He was torn to peices..By two rabid dogs..." Micheal managed to sputter,As if the wind had been knocked out of him.Everyone looked at each other and then back to Micheal.

"Maybe you should lay down."

"But I'm not lieing!" Micheal protested,He wasn't sure but it had happened.

John shook his head.

"Maybe you just went throught some Traumatic Changes." the others nodded in agreement as Micheal stared at them.They didn't believe him! He sighed,They never did anyway....
