START OF A JOURNEY

It had been six months since that attack, everyone in the town had died. Friends, family, lovers, etc. It had been a truly horrific day for all those that died, no one had survived... well no one except one, and this person was none other than zack orion...

"Hey dumbass orion come pick my mess up before I have to come over there and set you straight again". A very snoughty and arrogant voice which caused zack to groan in annoyance.

He then soon thought back to how all this had happened...

You see after the dark mage terrorist had finished raiding my village, everyone I ever knew and cared about had died, including my family. When I had woke up I was in some sort of hospital and when I got up I saw a bunch of kids playing outside on the courtyard, which I saw through the soon people I'm white cloaks had come in and informed me of the whole situation to which had struck me to the core. I was devestated to find out what had happened to my town and friends, but worst of all...

my family.

It had struck me harder than anything I'm sure I'd ever feel in my entire life and now knowing that I would never see them again had damaged me, and the only reason I knew I wasn't broken was because of one thing, my father had always told me those who were broken could never be fixed, but those who were damaged still had hope and I knew I was damaged cause I still had the feeling to cry. I had cried for about an hour and the people in white had left and I didn't care whether they had left or stayed.

When I finished with my crying they came back in and told me what happened and I felt nothing but pure rage that those dark mages had gotten away. I asked if they had seem two little girls under a burning house and was starting to describe there appearance but they had stopped me by right there saying they had searched the whole place and that I was the only survivor left. I asked them what was going to happen to me and they said that they were going to be leaving me in this orphanage since I had no one else to turn to as my family was dead and I didn't know much about my parents family.

I had been living here at the orphanage for quite a while now, and there was only one thing I could say about the place.

It was horrible...

The staff that worked here were horrible, they hardly did anything around here except make sure to Che ck on if were here or alive or not. The food here couldn't even be called healthy since I'm pretty sure they didn't even know where it came from. They hardly provided for us except enough to make Sure that we were alive. I was absolutely certain that they were taking all the good stuff especially when I saw one of the staff members bringing into there office a bunch of snacks and new beds. Also some of the children here were horrible as they allowed a lot of bullying going on around here whether it be physical or verbal and sometimes even I saw the kids go way to far with the bullying.

So here I sit at the table that was dubbed the "lonely loser table" by the stupid bullies and even the staff and that annoyed me since I could hardly talk to anyone logical here since they knew that any kid that sat next to me would get the same treatment that I was and it was hell.

"Hey idiot did you hear me I said come pick up my mess before I have to beat the shot out of you again". Said the same voice and I groaned at this since the voice was practically my second greatest annoyance of all and will get to my first a little layer and I turned around to see the person face to face.

It was Billy, he was some giant fat kid with freckles, rotten teeth, messed up shaggy brown hair, and two sinister little beady brown eyes, he was wearing overalls like always with pit stains on them again. He was practically a bane to my existance.

You see when I first went to recess with the other kids looking around to try to make friends since I know that was what my family would have wanted, I began looking around but then someone shoved me to the ground and I wiped the dirt off of me and looked to see who it was and I saw Billy and two of his henchmen with him and they were going to beat me up as the new kid since it was done for everyone. But I knew a little bit about fighting and ended up kicking there asses in the process.

Then when the staff member came outside Billy and his goons eventually started to fake cry, and the staff member ended up getting me in trouble just by judging from what he saw and that made me boil with rage but there was nothing I could do about it and he ended up getting me in trouble, an Billy and his boys ended up leaving without a slap on the wrist but they did leave with a victorious grin.

Since that day my life has been nothing but a living nightmare for me as I lived here cause now everyone saw me as nothing more than a nuisance seeing as nothing more than extra weight here and right now I was living one of my worst moments right about now.

"Man seems like you don't got a brain inside there to do anything except be nothing but a moron, ain't that right boys". He said to his lackeys which was like an immediate order for them to start laughing and then Billy gave a look to everyone around us and they started laughing as well. I didn't really care much for this since I knew that Billy was all bark and no bite.

"Orion you better answer me and do what I say or else I am going to give you another beat down and we all know you don't want that right". He said to me in the same snoughty voice and I merely gave him a glance before returning back to... whatever was on his tray right now, and for a second he could have sworn it was moving.

It appeared me turning back to my food after glancing at him had caused him to boil with rage. He them soon grabbed my tray and through it on the ground, and for some reason I thought that was the nicest thing he ever did for me.

Everyone was looking at us wondering what either me or him was going to do but before anything else could happen...

"What the hell is going on here".

He came...

Here he is the first greatest annoyance of my existance, the person who worked hard day and night just to make sure this orphanage was a wreck and my life was a living hell... Bob Sullivan aka headmaster Sullivan.

Headmaster Sullivan was a tall skinny man who always wore a brown business suit with glasses and loafers and on the outside he looked like a kind and caring man but if you truly looked behind this illusion you could see a true monster( I'm basing off shido from highschool of the dead).

"Now children why don't you all tell me what is going on here so we can get this all straightened out shall we". He spoke with that fake innocent voice and that fakeass smile which everyone seemed to believe but I knew what he really was... a monster in human diguise.

"Headmaster I was just trying to be nice to zack with all those misunderstandings and fight he starts, but like always he just wants to start a fight even though he knows how much stronger than I am of him so he settled with throwing his food at me which I dodged of course and since that didn't seem like enough he also threw my food on the ground as well and he tried to start a fight as well but I didn't want to hurt him seeing who the superior one right now". He lied innocently.

I already knew the headmaster didn't believe it but he just loved to see my suffering for three reasons. One was the fact that I saw him for who he truly is and he didn't like it when he people saw who he truly was without him knowing about. The second was because he saw me as a challenge, someone who he would just love to test. Finally was because he needed a scapegoat to pin everything on and they could all blame me for the bad things that happened, and what was worst of all... I could do nothing about it.

"Now zack I think you should apologize to young Billy here I mean he was just trying to be nice wouldn't you say". He said giving me that fake smile of kindness which caused me to grit my teeth at having to follow this bastards orders and it filled me with contempt and I was looking at the ground because I knew them both seeing me like this gave a lot of satisfaction to them.

Headmaster saw this and this caused him to grin in anticipation and he looked at me with a knowing look and merely said. "Now zack if you don't apologize I may have to use some more... disciplinary actions, wouldn't you say". He said giving me the same grin as a red whip which looked like energy.

Thus was his magic... Death whip Magic...

This type of magic was a painful magic because whoever was struck with it not only had there energy drained but it also activated the nerves pain receptors, which is why that no one in the school dared bother to mess with him.

I actually thought this magic went really well with him seeing him as the monster that he is...

"Now come zack I wouldn't want to do anything that would cause one of my precious students to get hurt now would we". The headmaster said with a sickly sweet smile and I was seething with anger as I looked up at him and no matter how much I hated it I knew I was going to need all my strength for what I had planned tonight.

"I'm... sorry". I gritted through my teeth as it was agonizingly painful for me to say those two words to him when he didn't even deserve it.

This caused both Billy and the headmaster to grin even more, and I had a dreading feeling that they were out for more humiliation of me.

"I'm sorry zack I don't believe we heard you could you please repeat that again I don't believe Billy and I heard you, you were saying something like...

I was at my boiling point right about now as I wasn't even sure how I could put up with this but I then just calmed down seeing as how this wasn't going to benefit me so I just decided to get it over with.

"I'm... Sorry". I ended with a sigh as my pride and honor had been severely wounded just from saying that and I looked at them and they both had triumphant grins on there faces and I looked at them with anger.

take it all you bastards, I won't be here for long so you can both go back to your own world and fuck yourselves like the pigs you are". I thought bitterly as I looked at them.

"See zack was that so hard, now we can all get along and put this whole thing behind us and move on with our lives like anyone else... but zack, you know that if you cause trouble like this again, I won't be as... lenient as I was before, do we understand each other zack". Headmaster said with pure malignant intentions in his eyes.

I wanted to say "go fuck yourself" and I could tell headmaster knew I was going to say that so he let his whip dangle even further as if daring me to do it. I then soon bit my tongue hard.

"I understand you". I said bitterly as he had a look that made him look like he was some sort of egotistical king, he then soon dispersed his magical whip into nothingness.

"Good I'm glad we could understand each other so I hope we don't have another problem like this again, Oh and zack". He looked at me with his same disgusting smile and I had a feeling it was going to take a lot of effort in me not to lash out at him.

"Know your betters".

Scratch that, it took my WHOLE being not to kill this man... scratch that, MONSTER in front of me right now and I could tell he could tell that I was writhing in agony on the inside, which gave him a lot of satisfaction.

The headmaster smiled sickenly at that and turned around to head back to his office and when we all thought it was over, he then stopped suddenly and without turning around spoke.

"Also zack since this is your fault I am going to have to ask you clean up the whole cafeteria, along with the teachers lounge and the boys bathroom understood, good". He said without giving me time to answer and I balled my fist in rage at this and Billy looked at me with an arrogant look and it made me look with pure rage at him.

"Don't worry zack Billy will also have a punishment as well". This caused us all to look completely shocked and everyone saw that Billy was going to start saying or more precisely, yelling how this wasn't his fault and it wasn't mine.

But before he could even say anything turned his head away from the other kids but to me and Billy and we could both see his sinister smirk and his and for some strange reason, probably his magic his eyes turned red.

"As your punishment Billy, you will clean the girls bathroom throughout the whole day, Even when they are in there, and as insurance to make sure you are doing that, I'll be there to watch them- I mean watch you do it, my dear Billy". He said with his same sinister smirk but now he was locking his lips in anticipation.

I looked with digest knowing that he had sinister and perverted intentions in his method and I looked over at Billy and I also saw that he had the same intentions in his eyes as well and hated the fact that there were people as truly sickening as them out in the world.

"Yes Sir, Headmaster sir". Billy said saluting him with a huge grin on his face.

I could not believe all this bad fucki- Wait a minute, this could work, I thought, if those two idiots are to busy peeping on the girls, they'll be to busy to even notice me leave, since those two always have me on there radar. Also if I'm going to clean the bathroom I could get the janitor look away while he is giving me cleaning supplies and take his keys which open any door and I could take supplies from both the teachers lounge and the cafeteria when no one is looking... as well as cause some mischief along the way as well.

I did my best to try to not to show my smirk and luckily neither the Headmaster or Billy knew or saw it still hiding it under my posed off attitude, and the Headmaster turned his head and walked away and Billy left with his boys following him as well, and everyone of the students merely turned back to there glop as well.

When everyone turned away I turned as well so that no one would see my beaming smile because now I finally found my window of opportunity at a chance...

... for freedom

Around Midnight

it was night time and it was very dark with everyone getting ready to go to sleep...

Well all except one...

Zack had gotten everything he needed for when he set out for his journey along with some extra things like hidden treats and money and luckily some camping gear as well. It's a good thing he had been working out while he was at the orphanage while no on was looking because it would have been extremely hard to carry.

I had then soon went out the front gate easily since the staff there was lazy and the kids were tired, and it was a good thing those two sick perverts were too busy watching the girls shower as well since they would be to busy to even notice me.

So when I got over to the front gate I looked to see how high it was and looking at the backpack I took it off my shoulders and threw it over the gate and when it landed I had hoped nothing had broken because I made sure to put the sleeping bag and blankets at the bottom.

Then I began climbing the fence and luckily I didn't fall and I jumped off the other side and when I landed on the ground I got up and looked to see if anything had broken and I was relieved to find out everything was fine. I then soon picked up the backpack and started walking away before stopping abruptly and turning around looking at the building and muttering three simple words.

"So long assholes".

And with that being said he set out to start his journey to try to make a living in life...

But little did he know that once he set out on his journey...

It would be the beginning of his adventure...
