I remember it was a harsh winter, I was running away from a orphanage. It wasn't like I was in a abusive orphanage, more like stress from school work, the bullies, and the future I was focused on. I felt like it was to much to handle even though I'm was only fifteen. As I was walking down the road to the river I sat down on the cold stone. It was just me and the sound of water crashing. It was relaxing to me. That's when my whole world turned upside down. That's when Brendan came into my life. I didn't even notice him sitting next to me until I turned my head.

"Ah." he had startled me.

"What's wrong with you?" He asked as if he knew me back then.

"When did you get here?" I started to stand. He had spit in the river.

"When I saw you down here." he smiled warmly.

"So what's your name?" I asked him, he hesitated to tell me.

"It's Brendan, and yours?"

"Reaper." I told him.

"So what the hell are you doing here anyway? It look like you where relieving yourself from some stress."He read me like a book and he still can to this day.

"Something like that." I had a blush on my face from embarrassment.

"So what are you stressing from?" he looked curious.

"You know the usual 'teen stuff' bullies and school work."

"I wish I had stuff like that to worry about." I look at him.

"Than what do you worry about?" I asked him.

He had waved his finger at me.

" You shouldn't asked people you just met so many questions that's how you lose friends." Damn he had a cocky attitude.

"Your the one asking me all the questions." I crossed my arms.

"Calm down." he laughed.

"Whatever." I smiled a little.

"So why do the other kids bully you?" he questioned me.

"Didn't you just say if you ask to many questions you lose friends." I repeated him.

"Yea I did I'm just interested." he smirked.

"They bully me because I have red eyes like a demon."

"Hmm sounds more like fear more than hate."

"I don't understand." I was obviously confused.

"When people band together on something they usually fear and kill it but in your case bully it." He had explained to me.

"I don't think I get it." I still didn't fully understand what he meant. I had looked toward him I noticed he also had red eyes.

"I think it would be better if I showed you, maybe one day I will." he told me.

"Hopefully." I said.

We stayed there just talking about stuff until it got dark.

"I have to go home it's getting dark, umm can we talk tomorrow?" I asked him hoping he would say yes.

"Sure that sounds nice." I waved him a good bye.

We started meeting there for two weeks it seemed as if I earned a friend. I almost forgot that I ran away so I had some explaining to do on why I left.

Two weeks later.

"Yo demon you look happier than usual." Jet said he was the school bully and he had his gang with him. I hated the nickname they gave me just because I had red eyes.

"Yea so." I didn't make eye contact or that will make me more scared than I already was.

"Don't get smart where is my money." He had his hand out.

"I don't have your damn money." I spat my words at him.

"Well then, Guys let's teach this demon a lesson." he motioned his gang to attack me. I was taking blows to the stomach, ribs and legs. They would leave bruises on me but would never touch my face because it would leave evidence that was visible.

"If don't have our money after school by tomorrow we will do the same thing again." They walked away leaving me in pain.

I wish I had the power to hurt them to teach them how it feels to be inferior. I wish they knew what they put me through every day of this living hell. I wish … no I WANT THEM DEAD! I know it isn't right to think that way but I'm only human and I want some type of vengeance.

Later that day I went by the river and Brendan was there.

"You're late." My wounds were slowing me down but I didn't want him to find out.

"Sorry I had umm detention." I lied he didn't buy it, but didn't ask any questions about it.

"Okay so how was your day?" He asked me.

"It was okay I guess."

"Hmm."

"What?"

"Stop acting like a pussy and tell what's wrong!" he snapped that was first time I ever saw him like that.

"Nothing wrong." I looked away from him.

"Really? THAN WHY THE HELL ARE YOU LIMPING?" He raised his voice, I was getting scared and I showed him my bruises.

"Reaper who is doing this to you?" My eyes began to water.

"The kids at school, they said if I don't give them… money by tomorrow they…are going to hurt me." I was sobbing in between my sentences like a five year old.

"Stop crying I will help you, okay?" He waited for me to reply back.

"Okay."

"What school do you go to?" he was whipping the tears out of my eyes

"Slateport high school." I told him, he began to pull out his phone.

"What's your phone number?" I gave him my number and he logged it in.

"Don't worry I got your back." he had reassured me, if only I knew what he was like back then I would have stopped him. The following day after school I ran into Jet.

"Yo demon do you have our money?" I gave them the money I didn't see any reason to bring Brendan into this drama. He counted the money looking pleased but not satisfied.

"Hey your a few dollars short." He smiled, I could have throw up the way he looked at me.

His gang was snickering at my weakness.

"Reaper." That voice I recognize it, Brendan was here.

"Oh demon you got yourself a friend." Jet had looked toward Brendan.

"Demon? him ha you haven't seen a demon yet." Something was different about Brendan he seemed more sinister.

"And you have." Jet snarled at Brendan.

"Yea I have you little shit." Brendan snarled right back.

"You talk a lot shit let's see if you can back it up." Jet had cracked his knuckles. Brendan had a crooked smile on his face, I had a bad feeling about this.

"I can't wait to see you cry like the little bitch you are and just so you won't run away let's fight in the back alley." he had pointed to the dark alley across the street.

"Your on, come on guys." Jet had lead his group to the alley.

"Reaper come I want you to see what I was talking about." I followed him into the alley.

Jet was waiting for us in the alley, his gang was sitting on crates and leaning on the mossy bricks. Jet had turned to face Brendan then laughed.

"What's so funny?" Brendan had questioned him.

"I see why your protecting him, both of you have those same demon eyes."

"You know something, I hate when people laugh at me." Brendan was clearly annoyed by Jet.

"So what are you going to do about it." Jet taunted him.

"I thought you would never ask?" Brendan had smirked and whipped out a gun and shot Jet in his leg. Ear bleeding screams could be heard from Jet and his gang. They began to stand up.

"If any of you run I'll kill you." he said coldly, I was silent frozen in fear.

"Reaper get over here." I couldn't move.

"REAPER DON'T MAKE ME REPEAT MYSELF!" I walk up to him with my heart quaking.

"Lift up your shirt." he commanded me and I obeyed. The shirt revealed all the bruises which he counted.

"Several bruises for several people." he had got out his other gun and began to rapidly fire at my abusers. I had covered my eyes, all I heard were the guns firing and the sound of bodies dropping to the floor. When I opened my eyes my wish was fulfilled, I was surrounded by dead bodies. Something had grabbed my foot, I saw it was Jet.

"Reaper …help me." he was struggling with his voice and he coughed up blood

"Hmm looks like I missed on. I got a idea." Brendan gave me the gun and pointed at Jet.

Jet' s eyes were streaming with tears and I could hear soft sobs.

"I…I don't wanna die." I tried to put the gun down but I heard a stomp which had terrified me and I accidentally pulled the trigger. Blood splashed on my face, tears ran from my eyes.

"Why are you crying? You should be happy they bullied you and gave you all those bruises." I remained silent and I dropped the gun, this was all to much for me to process I had blacked out.

When I awoke it was pitch black, the only thing illuminating was some light underneath a door and I could here voices.

"Are you serious Ruby killing a bunch of kids."

a voice had shouted.

"Yup."

"Christ what's wrong with you?" I could make out one of the voices one was obviously Brendan' s and the other sounded like a girl voice.

"HEY LET ME OUT OF HERE." I began to bang on the steel door. The door opened and I landed on my face. When I looked up I was surrounded by many teens my age.

"Get up my bosses wants to see you." Brendan had looked down upon me.

"Wait, boss? Bren…" his hand had covered my mouth.

"Don't say my name people here know me by Ruby." he had hissed.

"Okay Ruby why does your boss want to see me?" I crossed my arms.

"Bosses and I don't know what they want with you." Brendan had bought me into a room with three individuals.

"Ruby why did you bring this outsider in our base?" Green asked examining the boy.

"I couldn't have left him there black out in a alley way with corpses." he answered.

"True." Green said quietly.

"Ruby what I really wanna know is he any good?" Blue had asked she got up from her seat and began to walk around me. My body was shaking as she looked me up and down with her ice cold eyes.

"He looks useless, Red what do you think we should do kill him?" she finally took her seat. Red only blinked then made a motion with his hands.

"He wants you to move closer." Brendan had told me, I went to him so he can observe me.

he stood up and looked me in the eye. I felt my body heating up from his inferno eyes, but I couldn't back down I glared with blood red eyes piercing with hate. He smiled and sat down and snapped his fingers.

"Ruby you two are dismissed until we can figure out what to do with the brat ,we will call you back in shortly." Green had announced.

"Hmm I wonder what they might do to you." Ruby wondered I stayed silent. Going home wasn't a option not after what I did. I can't make a run for it either they would hunt me down and kill me.

"Hey Ruby, who is this?" Pearl had asked, she had took me out of my train of thought.

"He is a kid who meet the devil and took his hand." He didn't give her the answer she was looking for.

"I guess he is going to join or die." she had said. My sweat dropped and my heart was pounding.

"I need to sit down." we had went to a table with some water on it.

"I'm going to die here aren't I?" I was depressed.

"Hey don't say that, cheer up." Pearl was trying to comfort me.

"My code name is Pearl and I'm apart of the fourth generation, what's your name?" she had fully introduced herself.

"My name is Re- ow." Brendan had hit me in the arm.

"Pearl he might be joining us I don't want his name floating around the gang." He had justified himself for punching me.

"You didn't have to punch in the arm for that though, I think he has been through enought without you hitting him." she scowled him.

"Whatever." he had put his feet on the table.

"Really Ruby we eat on this table." she rolled her eyes.

"So" he was acting childish.

"I give up on you." she threw her hands in the air."

"Hey Ruby, the first generation wants the kid and you." a guy with raven hair and Amber eyes told him. Brendan and I had went back to see them.

"Pearl why are you with us?" Brendan had asked.

"To see what happens." she answered, she had closed the door behind us.

"It's your lucky day kid your joining the crew." Green had said.

"I'm going to live." I felt thankful.

"Now since your with us you will be apart of the fourth generation and your code name is Crimson." Blue had renamed me.

"That's cool you will be in the same generation as me." Pearl had smiled.

"Good you're already making friends." Blue said and I nodded.

"I think we can call it a night let's go." Green said they all headed out expected for Red and I.

"Um thank you for letting me live." he gave me a thumbs up, I owed him for this.
