The next morning Marron woke with headache that would have had his brother simpering and whining for the entire day. He sat up slowly; awake before any of the others, as always. He started to stand up. The woods turned around him, becoming nothing more then a blur of dark green, and brown, before it turned completely black. He vaguely felt himself thud against the ground as he came to lie on the hard earth beneath him.
Flashback
A white blur zipped through the rain almost like a shadow, soak and wet from the water that poured down around it. The night was cold and dark and he knew there was nothing he could do; nowhere he could go to get out of it. It was hopeless he was trapped by the rain and the night.
The others had stopped chasing after him along time ago, this he knew. They were not the reason he was running. His brother's words echoed through his thoughts. Those hateful words that wouldn't leave him alone and brought tears to his unwilling eyes. Some day he would learn to control his tears and when that happened not another tear would ever fall from his black eyes again.
'You're such a baby, Marron. You need to grow up and start acting your age. You're almost 10 years old know. Stop, acting like such a little cry baby!' Marron shook his head trying in vain to rid himself of the hateful words his brother had screamed at him, in front of half the town.
" I'll never go back there, never. If they all hate me so much and think I cause so much trouble well then they can just live without me. I don't need them; I don't need any of them. I'll show Carrot. I'll go to that school and learn Magick, even though I wasn't going to and I'll come back stronger then he ever can even dream of being."
Marron turned down another road that headed deep into the forest. He took a deep breath, knowing that now nothing was going to be the same, ever again.
End flashback
Marron opened eyes slowly and looked around, his head ached. He turned his throbbing head and looked up into pale blue eyes. " Marron, thank Gods your alright." Gateau whispered moving an ebony lock of hair out of Marron's beautiful eyes.
" What happened?" the soft voice slipped from his lips, shifted his weight to face the man beside him, but regretted after, as a pain ripped through his thoughts.
" I thought maybe you could tell me, all I saw was you go down. The others haven't even woken up yet." Marron groaned as he sat up, his head ached.
"I don't remember anything." He replied to the older man who looked at him sceptically.
"What ever you say Marron." He stood and walked away. Knowing that no matter what he would probably never get Marron to open up to him.
Marron sighed, he hated the dreams of his passed, he hated thinking of his childhood. He tapped the side of his head, wishing that he could make them all go away.
A figure stirred off the side and then sat up. "Marron your up early." The purple haired Haz Knight whispered.
Marron smiled at the man that had practically raised him after his mother had died, and there father had enveloped himself in his Haz Knight duties. "Carrots over there Milphy." He pointed a long slender finger towards his slumbering brother. Milphy smiled and stood, heading towards his sleeping prey. Milphy had been like mothers to Marron while the others had been old enough to pretty much handle themselves. Marron smiled at one of the few happy memories that he had.
