There's always a reason to everything, especially things that comes out of the ordinary, the should be a reason, they fact that, all questions have answers, it's a fundamental of life and his answer death, the trick is that, not all questions have to be answered and not all questions have to be asked....

*****

The sky was dark and cloudy, it was about to rain, as winds were violent carrying dust everywhere, the roads were empty and only the desolate lands and building were left, the dilapidated area showed how unkept it was for years and months, all the characteristics of an abandoned town.

In the harsh win and violent clacking of broken chairs and irons hitting on spots, producing sounds, the sounds of shoes hitting on concrete could be heard, a small silhouette moved like a shadow hiding on shaded spots and peeping out at any slight moment and later moving to another spot consciously.

Breaking into a building, the small boy tried all his best to find a safe place for the night, staying out was suicide, especially for him, who was just a child, he climbed the steps and when up to the second level, from there, he randomly chosed a room, and made sure to close behind him, he checked the room thoroughly and relaxed after making sure the area was safe, he tried pushing any heavy object towards the door to block it, he covered the windows and closed all open holes he could see, from there, he sat near one of the windows and brought out his huge bag, he took out a stove, a small pot and a small sac of porridge.

As he ate his hit porridge, he peep out of the small gap in the window, and saw how the voilent wind ravaged the area with the darkness, it was gloomy and terrifying, the child's heart kept beating fast, with fear and anxiety, as memories flashed in his mind, he was ten years today, as he remembered his atmosphere was filled with joy and happiness all over, "how old are you now, how old are you now, junior, how old are you now?" "I am five years today, I am five years today" junior screamed with joy, and his cute and beautiful face made everybody blush and the all tried to hug him, but it wasn't the right person, as his name was also junior and it was also his birthday, but he was locked in the room.

Hearing the heartwarming shouts downstairs, John Alexander junior heart remained silent, as only his murmuring could be heard, the happy birthday song, was also a song his parents sang to him before the died in a car accident, leaving him behind with a relative to the family.

But it looked like, the relationship between the families wasn't good, as he was treated like a dog, he scratch his dirty hairs and looked through the window, his eyes were void and devoured of any emotions, as he could not see any beauty in the world, the screams and laughter downstairs reminded him of painful memories.

Tok tok...... Someone knocked at the door, junior was carried back to reality, as he moved towards the door, as he lifted his hand to open, he stopped, remembering the orders.

"Don't ever open this door, until your called out, understood, you bastard"

He remained near the door and did not say a word, the door gradually open, and a cute face appeared, it was the other junior, Stephan junior Alexander, he came in with a plate of cake with a candle on it, and handed it to John, who did not reject it.

"If my son gives you take, be honoured, dirty creature!"

Those were one of the orders given to him, Stephan smiled and left, John looked at the plate, and kept it on the shelves and sat back on his bench facing the window.

Two hours later, the house was quiet, John stood up, prepared to start work, when the door violently open, a man and a woman with ferocious expression pounced in with a rubber stick, John eyes widened.

"How there you seize our lovely child's birthday's Cake, you bastard!" Screamed than, "you usules child, like your parents!" Said the mother.

John was beaten for an hour and left on the spot, he heard the door closing and he relaxed his bones, he had to go clean the house, getting up with all energy he had, he unconsciously look towards the shelve, and saw a dead rat, it had eaten half of the cake, John smiled bitterly before exiting the room leaving the death rat there.

*****

Opening his eyes, John was woken up by a strange sound out of the room, something was scratching at the door, he silently stood up and brought out his fruit knife, coming closer to the door, he had to know what level it was, looking through the key hole, he saw a black shadow moving left and right, scratching and licking the door, a normal person would take it for a dog, but after surviving in the desolated world, John sharp senses told him to be wary, he went back to his position and packed it's stuff fast and quietly, the violent rain hasn't stopped, but this place weren't safe anymore, he was no match of what was out there, opening the window, the cracking sound alerted the thing out there, as it's scratching stopped, and became that of something inhuman.

It produced sounds similar to that of a finger hitting on a table, with intervals of two, three and five, and changing each time the position of the intervals, it was like communication of another level, John immediately jumped out, using a rope as puly, he balance himself like a soldier and scratched in the level down, passing through the window, he fell paints on his body, but the sound of the doors in the other room could be heard destroyed,he did not waste time, and ran out.

From the window, a long and scaling hand appeared with four long nail fingers and scratched internally leaving a long line of nail marks.

The corridor was long and dark, as only the torch in his hand could be used as light to clear his path, he had only slept for an hour, it was left, six hours for the sun to start rising, he had to keep up, turning behind, he saw a terrifying shadow appearing from the room he just exited, the thing immediately took chase after him, but John remained cool headed.

*****

Wiping the table and cleaning off the left over of the birthday, he carried the dishes and washed them, kept the remaining cake in the fridge, wiped the floor and took out the dustbin, he tidied up the house and wiped out the dust, he arranged and washed up the clothes, and as the day was breaking, to early morning, he had finished, he prepares the breakfast, and left everything on the table, as he heard doors opening, he ran upstairs like a ghost and closed behind him, sweating alot, he heard how the sat and ate their breakfast and saying how the day would be good, John's heart wasn't still at ease, as he heard the doors closing and the car steaming, he knew that, everything went well, opening the door again, he came close to close with the father's face, John freaked out.

Lifting up his pants, the father left the room, leaving a ***** John on the floor, John have been sufferings since he entered this house, his emotions were wrecked and he saw bad in all things, after this day, suicide was a blessing.

That night, after everybody was sleeping, he came down the stairs, his vision was dark, as he look like a devil child, with a grin, he went to the kitchen and took a fruit knife, and went back up, he stood near Stephan's room, and was prepared to enter.

Stephen was sleeping comfortably on his soft bed, not knowing about the shadow standing near to him, the lifeless blue eyes glaring at him, lifted his hand with the fruit knife and was prepared to stab, Changing position, Stephan looked behind him, but saw nobody, as his door closed, he closed back his eyes and went back to sleep.

Outside, John looked at the sky as tears fell down his cheeks, he walked out of the gate and kept moving forward without any definite direction, he came face to face to an abandoned house and break in, he closed behind him and sat on the dirty floor and did not move for the whole night.

******

Bang! The door was sure not to sustain the constant hitting, it would definitely broke, the constant communication of that thing became louder as time passed, it was calling for others or what else, John looked left, right, up and down, no other exit could be seen, he started searching cupboards and opening bags, boxes were flung here and there, he saw a fire lighter, it could not help at this moment, as he fear started growing, he accidentally pushed a box down, and something came out.

Using sellotape on his hands, he held the perfume spray and the lighter together, the door finally broke, as a hideous creature showed in, it's disgusting facial feature were terrifying, it would be difficult to believe that, this was once a human, the creature used his long hands to hold the world inside the small space, and push his body in, it was like an adult man trying to enter a child's house, the long neck stretched as it's disgusting face came closer to John's face, John immediately brought out the spray, and light up the lighter, and with a bright light and a smell of perfume, the thing cut fire, and a huge scream was pushed out of the creatures lungs, as it hit his head on the worlds and the small space hindering his movements made it difficult for it to put off the fire, John slide off through the gap in-between the creatures legs and came out if the room, he immediately turn, doing a 90° turn, he spraied more fire on the creature, and the small room caught fire as a large creature was fighting inside the room.

John kneeled down and stared at the burning creature, as he admired the fire.

******

The fire cleared the area, as it has been two days John escaped the house, he sometimes look out, and check wether police cars would come looking for him, but nobody came, it looked as if the family did not even bothered looking for him, he decided to remain hidden in days and going out at night, and that said, during night times, he broker into stores and stoled leaving necessities, a stove, bags of food, fruit knives, a long knife, clothes, bottles of water and so on.

He did that over and over, and finally his action were noticed as police and people started hunting him, the gave him the name of the the wreck as he always broke into stores and houses.

One night, he moved to his next target, a small military house, it was said, the old man who leaves there was out of age and could be deal with, John who had reached twelve years old decided to offer himself a present by broking into this house, he passed through the back door, and entered the living room, opening his bag, he started packing anything he saw and that could be valuable to him.

Tod! ....... Tock tock........ tock tock tock......the sound of something could be heard, it was like a finger hitting on a table, it was strangely annoying to hear, John immediately hid himself in-between two cupboards and waited to see what was doing that.

He had finished packing the valuable stuffs, but his greediness wanted him to go upstairs, but, those strange sounds origin were upstairs, after calming himself, he decided to take a look, and it's too risky, he gives up, going towards the steps, he heard how the sound also came towards the steps, and he gasp in Terror at the sight of what he was seeing.

A long tongue like tail showed itself, licking on the wood and leaving traces of burn marks on the wall, was it acid?, John asked himself, as he did not know how, he found himself sitting on the floor speechless.

Opening the door, John ran out the house as fast as he could, with the mind conflicted, he fell on something white and snowy, it was sticky, but luckily, John wore gloves, as he removed them and threw them away, he ran back to his hide out, behind him, a door kept opening and closing as a tongue was first seen, later and terrifying malnatured creature half body, who once resemble an old man, before a faceless head with only a mouth with align sharp teeths and a long tongue, before the door close again and the entity disappeared.

Entering through bushes like a rat, John kept running, with his small size and legs, it was really difficult to shave away the tall grasses, his senses where screaming, run, he had already felt this fear before, each time they entered the room to do him harm, each time that man came to assault him sexualy, each time that child tried to poison him, his senses had always been on high alert, and today for the first time in a long while, his senses screamed.

He could feel something chasing after him, it was fast, he was sure, it was that thing, he dived on grass, an a sharp sound passed on top of him, he lifted his head and saw that the grass was cut cleanly, his mind was in chaos.

"Run! Run! Run!" He screamed high, but his encouragement were all useless, it caught up to him, and hit John on the floor, John spat out blood and his body became weak, was this the end, after all the hardships he suffered, he was going to die like an abandoned animal, alone, nobody to remember him, what did he do to this world, why so much hatred towards him, John started sobbing on the floor, as the creature came further, but soon stopped and used his tongue to check wether John was still alive, as the tongue came closer, a bright light showed and a line was drown, as a weak body stood up and tried it's best to run.

The monster was shocked as it held his cut tongue, blood was gushing out like a burst pipe if water, it could not scream high, and only rolled on the grass in agony.

John smiled...... He was smiling like a madman who had lost his senses, that was a pity, especially seeing a child brought to this level, he smiled, and strangely, his direction wasn't towards the bushes but instead the road and the houses, he kept smiling as he moved forward.

"Yes, if I have to die, I would take you people with me" he thought madly and came out if the bush, behind him a mad creature pounced out and caught him, with his firm hands he grabbed John on his neck and lifted him up, immediately light showed and cleared both of them, as their attention was directed towards the car, a man came out, he look at the entity and later at the boy, he freaked as he tried driving the car away, the creature left John, as he felt, and jumped onto the car, John looked at the car being smashed to pieces as a baby was taken out, and a woman was screaming for help, and the man was bleeding on the floor, but John left the area as fast as he could.

He entered the abandoned house, and closed behind him, he did not have time to check the area as he collapsed on the floor, outside, a wide disaster was occurring, as strange wide mucus like snow fell from the sky and it did not take long for the whole sky to be covered in white, and just like that days went on.

*******

John open his eyes and was blinded by the rising sun, he ended up sleeping on the top level of the building, the night weather was harsh and cold, as John looked pale and had small fever, he stood up with alot difficulties and carried his bag, looking at the horizon, the rising sun painted the abandoned city in red as John saw back the burning city.

It was day, he came out if the building and walked down the deserted road, passing deserted areas, and dilapidated cars, he came to a halt when he saw a supermarket, his eyes contracted as he scan the area, he came closer to the doors and pushed it open, the sun rays entered the dark supermarket, John could see left over stuffs, and necessities, but did not immediately entered the market.

"Why wasn't this place wrecked off?" John asked himself, he saw this area as a trap, like what Stephan usually did to him, leave an unfinished plate of rice on the table, and when he enters, the would jump and beat him up, John took out a ball and aimed it inside.

Sqish!

A squishing sound could be heard, as the ball bounced continuously towards the dark, John thought of the area being secured, but as his leg was about to cross the door, someone grab him from the collar.

"Heh! Guys, what should we do about this boy?, His stuffs are pretty useless" said a muscular male with tattoos all over his left hand.

"Hmmm, use him as bait, we could send him inside the supermarket to get stuffs for us" said another of his friends, he had piercing all over his face.

"Hmmm..... Are you sure, he's cute, can I play with him?" Said a huge woman, with muscular features, she had an intimidating appearance, was she even supposed to be call woman?, She asked her question looking at someone else, the person turn and to John's amazement, he was different from his colleagues.

Handsome, had blond hairs, and green eyes, he look build and strong, the typical mannequin dude, how did this star ended up with this hooligans, who look as if the escaped from prison.

The man glance at the boy for a second and turn back to the supermarket, "he is useless,that thing in there is wise, or else, all the human we send inside there would have come out, he purposely,caught them, and did not touche their belongings, this place look like a treasure chamber with a high level boss blocking it's way and catching any person who tries to enter" said the man.

John who was tied to the floor, looked up, he was definitely sure, this guys are murderers, especially the handsome man, there's something odd about this man, he is different, something smells bad about him.

"Boss, the sun is setting again!" Said the piercing man, as the orders looked up, and their faces became pale, "idiot, it's not the sun!" Said the woman, as a giant bird was seen diving towards them, the all dashed into any building the could see and left John on the spot, John could see a large bird diving towards him as his eyes widened.
