Chapter 2

Discovery

Within a week of his arrival, his teacher's had noticed something special about this young boy. His intelligence was incomparable, often successfully competing with children more than twice his age. It wasn't long before Mr Kamron (the owner of the children's home) took notice of this and thought of an idea. He knew of a man who was building an orphanage for children with brilliant minds and thought of mentioning his newcomer to the man call Quillsh Wammy. But there was a problem, he did not know how to contact this Wammy and even if he did what was he going to say to convince him that this child is a prodigy. 'This might be harder than it looks' he thought to himself, but he was not going to give in to this little problem; this child deserves an education that his organisation can't give him.

Beyond spent majority of his time sitting on the front door steps of the children's home; something that he'd been doing every day since his arrival. He'd sit and wait for his mother to come back to him - like she promised. Kamron, the head of office, looked out of his window feeling such pity for the little one, 'maybe a little change of scenery would be good for him' he thought.

As days slowly turned to weeks, it was clear this young boy was losing hope. It was clear, by that time he knew his beloved mother would never return.

It was time to move on, and his watchman job slowly, but surely, turned into the job of discovering where he'd fit at the group home, knowing he'd be in there for quite a while.

He entered a playroom, filled with broken toys lined from wall to wall. Approaching a young boy playing with a toy truck, he said:

"Hi my name is Beyond, what's yours?"

The young boy, stunned, stared without responding.

"My name is Beyond, what is yours?" he repeated.

Silently, still, staring back with no response.

"My name is Beyond –"

Before he could finished his sentence, the young boy got up and ran, towards a group of children on the other side of the small play room. He almost pinned himself up against a wall, where he could ensure the maximum possible distance between he and Beyond.

Beyond thought nothing of it at the time, and believed the young child was just shy. Sitting down, to play with the yellow and red truck the boy left behind, 3 young children, one in a red button down shirt who went by the name Simon, the others in blue polo tops Adrian and Charlie, approached him. Without saying a word, they stared intensively at Beyond. Beyond was forced to acknowledge their presence, and upon lifting his head, he saw the children's eyes get wider. "What's the problem?" He innocently asked.

Reluctant to answer, the three started to back away, before the boy in the Simon decided to step up to the plate and make first contact "Wh-what's wrong with your eyes?" he asked.

"Nothing" Beyond replied

This time Charlie decide stepped forward. "Why are they red?"

"I don't know!" Beyond looked at Charlie "I was born with it. Why were you born with brown eyes?"

"I don't know but-"

"There you go. I can't help it if I was born with red eyes, just like you can't help it that you were born with brown eyes."

"But I never met someone with red eyes before." Simon remarked

"Well maybe you haven't been looking hard enough"

Beyond, now turn his attentions back the boy and his truck toy said "Listen, my name is Beyond. Do you want to play with me or not?"

Simon eyes widened as he realising that he and his friends were being ignored by the only freak at the children's home and just like that, once again he was pushed into a fight with an unwanted opponent.

Meanwhile, Kamron had just find a free ticket to the location of Wammy's house when he was on the phone with his uncle Roger about Beyond.

"I heard of this place that takes in gifted children like this, I think it's called Wammy's home or something"

"You mean Wammy's house?" his uncle said on the other line

"Yeah that's it; the man who runs the place is called Quillsh Wammy"

"Maybe I can pull a few strings and get you to meet with him"

Kamran laughed loudly then he put a finger under his right eye to wipe away a tear before talking again "sorry put what are you possibly going to do, you have no connections anywhere in or out of this country"

A small chuckle was heard on the other line "I might not have any important connection put I do know the man you are looking for, Mr Wammy is an old friend of mine" Roger replied

"What?" his jaw dropping dismay was clearly showed on his face, then something else. A look of confusion had now taken its place when he heard an up roar in the children's play room. The children in the other room seemed to be screaming or cheering. He knew that sound anywhere; one of the kids had gotten into a fight. His uncle wondering on the other end of the phone why it was so quiet. Kamran dropped the phone without hanging up and ran to the play where the children were all gathered around in one spot and Kamran trying to get into the crowd had to push and shove his way to get to the inner circle, where most likely the event was taking place. As Kamran finally got through the rest of the children ceased their screams and there in the middle of the crowd was Simon with Beyond on top of him whiles putting all of his strength in every punch coursing the brown haired boy to bleed from his nose. Kamran emergently pulled beyond off and push him aside as soon as he was on his feet again which Kamran never done to a child before.

Beyond watched with wide eyes as he saw Mr Kamran help the other boy up and took him to the nurse's room. Beyond had pushed his way through the crowd of onlookers and ran upstairs towards his bedroom with one though looping in his mind 'I hate this place, I Hate this place, I HATE THIS PLACE!'. When he got into his bedroom he slammed the door behind him and ran to the corner of his room. He pulled his knees against his chest and wrapped his arms around his legs. "I want my mom" he whispered to himself knowing that no matter how much he wanted her, she will never come back.

After a few days in the home Beyond began to notice that an old man had being taking notice of him but Beyond ignored the presence and continued with what he would be doing at the time. It was a week later that Beyond was called into Kramer's office and much to the boy's unwillingness to go; Beyond was carried to his office where Beyond saw Mr Kramer and the old man that had been spying on him for the past two weeks standing in front of him. "am I in trouble?" the boy asked and Kramer smiled at him before introducing the old man that stood beside him "Beyond this is Mr Wammy, he has shown quite an interest in you" Kramer said as he sat down on his chair.

"Hello you must be Beyond, I have heard a lot about you" the man looked down at him with a smile that could heal anyone's broken heart. Beyond gave him a shy smile then looked to the floor. Mr Wammy slowly kneeled down to get face to face with beyond. "I've come here to take you to my special orphanage in Winchester" Wammy struggled to get back onto his feet and Kramer got off his chair and went to the old man's side to help him up.

"What do you say would you like too come with me" Mr Wammy smiled and held out his hand. Beyond stared at it for some time as thoughts that his mother may come back for him, but she never would and Beyond shook the old man's hand with a smile on his lips. He did want to show how sad he was about this new change, he needed to show that he was brave and independent "I would like that very much sir" Beyond said.

Beyond waited outside the children's home for Mr Wammy to finish signing the paper work. He sat on the steps that let inside the building and out came Wammy looked cheerful. Wammy grabbed the little boy's hand and led Beyond to a black car just passed the gates. The old man opened the back door for Beyond, he climbed into the car and Wammy walked around the vehicle to the driver's seat.

During the ride Beyond never talked or even looked at the old man, his head was lowed and he was playing with his fingers. Wammy looked through his rear-view mirror to see the boy looking a bit nervous "we will be there soon" Wammy said and Beyond looked up at him and gave a little smile. Beyond looked out the window and saw that they were in the countryside, there were fields and trees and no houses in sight. That was until they drove up to giant iron gates and behind it was a large house possibly a mansion with the sign Wammy's house at the front. Beyond's jaw dropped, he never saw a house as big as that one before and he was going to be living in it. Wammy looked back and grinned at the sight of the young boy.
