Charon lay on the Revren's floor. Blood trickling out of his broken nose, and the self-inflicted cuts on his arms.

"Charon, my dear boy," said a cold, ensnaring voice above him, "How many times do I have to tell you not to stain my carpet with your worthless blood!" The man kicked Charon hard in the stomach making the boy gasp for air. Charon curled up in pain. Coughing up blood.

"Great! Now theirs blood on my shoes!" the man yelled. Charon kept his head down. Starring at the blood that surrounded him. His blood.

"And what's this!" the man continued to yell. He indicated to the slash marks on Charon's wrist. "You tried to kill yourself again!" He kicked the boy again. This time in the groan. Charon rolled around in pain, but he made sure to keep his face down. His eyes away from his abuser.

"Look at me!" he demanded. There was no response. "LOOK AT ME!" he roared. Still nothing. The man picked Charon up by his collar, and slammed him into the wall. He starred into Charon's uncaring, tired eyes. And Charon gazed right back at Revren Martin's angered, and hatred filled eyes.

Revren Martin spat in Charon's face. But did not move, nor did his gaze. His hypnotic gaze….Revren Martin slowly started to release his grip. His hand strayed to his pocket. To his gun. He brought it to his head…

Their was a sudden rapping on the door. Revren Martin blinked his eyes repeatedly, and looked at the gun in his hand. Sheer terror spread across his face. He looked at Charon. His face changed to malice. "You ," he hissed. He then hit the boy across the face.

A crack resounded in Charon's ears. His jaw was broken. Another knock at the door. This time louder, and he called. The door opened. "Ah, Artemis," said Revren Martin happily. Charon clenched his teeth. 'Great,' he thought, 'Just what I needed.'

Artemis was invited in. He walked over to Revren Martin's desk, and sat down in one of the visitor's chairs. "Just came to make sure Charon went to his rightful place," he said to the Revren.

"Yes, he did, quite miraculously," said the Revren, "Of course with some delay…" Artemis looked at Revren Martin quizzically. Who nodded towards Charon. He studied Charon briefly, before noticing the slits on his arms. Then, with a slight smile, he said, "Suicide attempt, eh? Oh Charon when are you ever going to learn?" Artemis asked playfully. Charon kept quiet.

"I believe Mr. Artemis has asked you a question, boy! Now answer!" demanded the Revren. Charon gazed at the Revren. Anger starting to show in his eyes. "And what is it I'm suppose to be learning?" he asked. At this Artemis, and Revren Martin started to laugh roughly.

The Revren came over to Charon. He leaned right over the boy, and said, "You should learn that your kind not deserve to exists. That you and your beast of a mother and everyone like her that does or does not follow her will be destroyed. That the only reason I don't kill you is because you are half human. And that as long as your still 'living' I shall make every single day for you a living hell!"
