"Hey fatty wake up!!!" a shrill voice sounded waking me up from my slumber after what felt like an eternity. Opening my eyes I am blinded by a white bright light and it is not a heavenly one no it is anything but that, it's more of a dreadful reminder of the hell I am currently in. "Finally!! Did you think this is some place to sleep?" The voice continued I looked up at the source through my tear blurred vision and there she stood, my mother ever the beauty with long silver hair that went down her waist my own light blue hair paled in comparison to her silver light, her ever pale white eyes squinted in enjoyment at seeing the sorry figure I cut as I was tied to the wall of our basement. I have been here for weeks and to be honest I lost count the first two days. I had lost weight, I lost a lot of weight my cheeks had sunken in. The mirror on the wall opposite me showed how haggard I looked, my usually bright emerald green eyes had become frighteningly hollow, my usually pale skin turned paper white with black and purple marks littered all over it, honestly I looked like a living skeleton, infact I knew death was near and instead of sadness I felt relief I was tired I just wanted to die but I knew that was the last thing this women I called a mother wanted.

I knew that she wanted my death to be slow and painful infact it wasn't only her. "It's good that your awake kiddo.I know what me and your second mother are doing to you seems unfair but really it's either Nancy, Steve or you and logically anybody would choose to save those whose future looks bright." She spoke while picking up a cup on the table filled with an unknown liquid "Honestly I hate doing this to you but we have to live-"

"Even if it means selling your own sons organs?!!!" I cried out feeling frustrated "Honey sometimes one must take one for the team, now love be good for mommy and drink this." I looked at the kind smile on her face and smiled bitterly. "What is that? poison?" she shook her head "You can't have poison in your system, so no." she got close to me and placed the cup on my dry lips "This is my final kind act to you take it as a thank you gift." she poured the liquid down my throat. My vision blurried once more and in what I hoped would be my final rest when I heard her "Sorry kiddo I wish I could have changed your fate..........."

*peeep peeeeep!!!!!!*

"mmn!!" I groaned reaching out to shut off the noisy alarm clock I had always hated, failing to turn it off I threw the alarm towards the wall and pulled my hand back in to sleep- Wait What??!!! I shot up eyes wide in shock, I looked around the ever familiar baby blue painted room with random Shakespeare poems hanging on the walls and felt as if my world stopped 'no way, no way!!!' I hurriedly stood from the bed stumbling and almost falling but I caught myself and ran into the bathroom when I looked in the mirror I felt as if I was struck by lightning. Instead of my haggard self stood a young boy with full round cheeks, pale but healthy looking skin, light almost silver looking blue hair, with emerald green vibrant eyes staring back at me, the young boy had a chubby figure that made one want to pinch and feel how soft it is. "I-im really back....." my voice sounded a lot more kid like than I have heard in a while. I looked at my self in the mirror a smile slowly forming " I'm back!!! I'm really back!!!! Hahahahahahahaha hahahahahaha!!!!!!!!!" tears flowed down my face while I laughed like a maniac, I laughed all the pain and misery I've been through off.

*Bang Bang*

"Leith!!!!! You crazy punk stop making such a ruckus some of us are trying to sleep!!!!" a familiar annoying voice echoed. I rolled my eyes at my elder sisters pampered princess entics. After a few more laughs I calmed down and began thinking about my situation carefully." Since I have been given a second chance, I'll use it well!!" Once again a smile blossomed on my face. "I'll definitely use it well." First the fall of the Donna mafia group leader my father Lance Donna, Then the betrayal that changed my mother I'll prevent it all I do not want this family to fall at the hands of some stranger definitely not, they have to fall at MY hands.

Sorting out my thoughts I took a quick shower, and decided to wear comfortable black baggy jeans and a long sleeved lemon colored t-shirt. I took the red school bag carelessly placed on my night stand and went out. If my guess was correct I am currently 10 years old right now and there is still approximately five years until our family falls. I have more than enough time to plan out our escape route but I have little time to physically train this body of mine, I'll be lucky if I can at least fight back a five year old after training for the coming five years so I have two options one I find a teacher in a dojo or I find an online teacher naturally I would go with the second option not only is it safe but it won't raise suspicion in the family and that's exactly what I want.

Third person POV

The chubby boy came out of his room and walked towards the steps, plans of the future swirling in his mind, the boy went down the stairs while holding on to the handrails to keep balance, every after 5 steps he would stop and breath, 'isn't it enough that I got killed for organs in the last life now I'm being punished with stairs?!!! Kill me now!!.' Leith felt like crying without tears he was really too tired so much so that when he finally came downstairs he was covered in sweat. The family that was already eating breakfast stopped to look at Leith. Lance his father lightly nodded at him, his mother Florence signaled him to come over and sit down quickly while his stepmother or rather his father's second wife Terra politely smiled at him.

His other siblings were not there it was estimated that the other one was asleep while the other one went ahead to school. Smiling innocently Leith greeted them like a well behaved child "Mother, second mother and father good morning." the adults also greeted him while pushing him to eat quickly so he could go to school after all he was late. Leith felt tears coming on at the thought of going to school he was a fully grown adult!! but he was still forced to go to middle school?!! This was really beyond embarrassing to him not only that it felt like an insult to his IQ!!!!

The driver today was an old man called Mr Carl he has been Leith's driver for many years now, and unsurprisingly he knew Leith more than his own parents did, so he could pick up that the kid was behaving strangely. Leith had always been a quiet kid but he would occasionally point out the window and look at him with bright wide eyes through the rearview mirror and curiously ask what something he had spotted outside the car was.

But now the kid just looked blankly out the window not even making a sound. This made Me Carl feel extremely uneasy so much so that he decided to get the kid some chocolate hoping that it would cheer him up. Driving up to the school gate Mr Carl opened the lower compartment in the passenger seat and took out a box of candy he always carries around incase he would pick up a sad Leith from school. “Young master.“ Leith got startled out of his thoughts at the old man's voice. Leith looked up at him and gave the man a genuinely kind smile, this man had threated him like family more than his own family ever had, it's such a shame that when their family got taken down the old man died protecting him and his siblings '*sigh* truly a good person'. “Yes Mr Carl?“ Leith asked obediently his eyes looking brighter as he gazed at the old man. Mr Carl could feel his heart melting, this kid had that affect on him. His cute round face made one want to pinch him while his pale skin made him look like delicate white jade, while those big eyes that seemed to hold a whole universe of stars made one want to protect the child. 'If I had a grandson like this I would spoil him dearly only for existing!!!!!' It's too bad that those of the Donna mafia group could not see that and saw him as a fat waste. “Are you feeling ok Young master?“.

Leith smiled at the old man again '**** did I accidentally act out of character? But I remember that I was never talkative….. oh well let's lie for now.' “Mr? Yes I'm fine I just had a nightmare last night.“ Mr Carl nodded and didn't ask anymore as he did not want the kid to re live the trauma. “Sorry about that young master, I hope you know it's all a dream.“ Mr Carl spoke while giving Leith the piece of whole nut chocolate he just took out. Leith took the chocolate and gave the old man a toothy smile. “Thank you Mr Carl!!!“ He beamed. Mr Carl felt all warm inside when he saw the kid's toothy smile that showed his two adorable canines. “Anytime kiddo now off you go, you don't want Mr Brown yelling at you first thing in the morning.“ Leith inwardly sighed at the thought of even entering the gates of hell aka middle school, but he still obediently went out of the car waved at Mr Carl and went inside. Although it's been a while since he was here Leith's muscle memory carried him straight to his homeroom. Along the way Leith greeted some seniors who were giants compared to his short figure but who could blame him after all he is a 10 year old in his eighth year of schooling, this only happened because he had managed to skip a few grades before. Walking into his classroom a few people turned towards him some scowled and others smiled at him, Leith lowered his head and sighed, all the attention was a given since he seems to be the last one to arrive. Walking to the last row Leith sat down and like a good student waited for his homeroom teacher to arrive, even if it has been a long time Leith still remembered his school routine first period, prepare time aka get bullied time, second period, get bullied, third period, get bullied, forth period Leith's favourite lunch he usually gets 10 minutes max to eat then you guessed it gets bullied, fifth and sixth periods it's the same routine. “Ok class settle down as you know your final exams are coming up, do your best and get into the highschool of your dreams, and I expect all of you to pass.“ Leith's homeroom teacher who had entered at an unknown time pause and looked directly at a young man who was also Leith's biggest bully “Especially you Nicolas I expect you to pass and not repeat this grade, do you honestly want to be outclassed by an 10 year old?“ Nicolas lowered his head and swore to beat the shit out of the little shit who made him lose face infront of his teacher. Poor Leith didn't even have to receive a threat cause he knew that he was bound to get beaten up badly today.

*Ring!!!!!!*

First period Leith felt like crying without tears but what could he do? No matter how knowledgeable he was about the future he was still in a weak defenseless body of a 10 year old. Right now he had two options and that was to fight like a man or run away like a coward, and being the man he was Leith chose to stay mainly because 'Running burns too much stamina' putting on a blank face Leith got ready for one of many hell like days to come.

*riiiiiing*

The bell signalling the end of the school day sounded, all the students hurriedly went out on their way home or to hangout with their friends. Kids went out of the school gates in waves and after a while less and less people came out of the gate, among them a chubby cute looking child was walking towards the gate at first the child appeared normal but if you take a closer look you could see that he was limping and that his usually pale complexion had turn even paler. 'Fucking bastards' who knew middle school children could be so cruel? Not only was he kicked until he vomited out blood but his bullies today did not even allow him to have lunch clutching his empty stomach Leith swore to take vengeance on those hateful children and teach them how to respect their elders!!!!!

Walking out of the school gates Leith spotted Mr Carl and immediately stopped limping, he knew that the old man could not stand to see him get hurt and besides he didn't need anybody meddling with these kids, after all it was his mess so he should take care of it. Mr Carl saw Leith coming towards him and waved him over while opening the car door for him and just like usual little Leith politely greeted him and got into the car.

The drive back was uneventful even when Leith got home nothing major happened just the usual such as his sister bragging about how her grades improved from D to C- and the rest of the family encouraging the genious. The young Leith would usually feel hurt by this as he would always wonder why his sister got the better treatment as he knew that he was smarter than her, that question used to keep Leith up at night but now it didn't because he had an answer to this question and that is ' I live with a bunch of fucking idiots.' Leith did not even bother greeting them and just went to his room. The rest of the family was slightly stunned as they expected Leith to come over and try to talk to them then they would shut him out but now the kid had given them a cold face and went on his way like he did not want any sort or form of contact with them. “Probably a new way of seeking attention?“ Steven stated in more of a question, nobody answered but they all agreed on his view. Going into his room Leith went straight to his old white computer and pc placed on an old study desk near his window. Taking a seat Leith turned on the computer and went into the internet, he entered a series of letters and numbers then he was directly directed to the most dangerous side of the internet the dark web. The dark web is a place where one could find whatever they were looking for be it contract killers, murderers, mafia groups and more. For Leith he needed someone to teach him combat but he also wanted this to happen without attracting too much attention and he believed finding a tutor on YouTube would be too time consuming and frankly useless. Browsing around Leith found a few creepy looking websites about murders , how to hide a body ' I'll come back to this link later.'

He thought while continuing to scroll down until a link caught his eye ~ Fight like a demon~ feeling drawn to this post Leith clicked on it and was automatically put into a chatroom with some person named Afi not thinking much about it Leith sent him a greeting although chances of this person being fake were high Leith still risked it in his life he had learnt the hard way that there is no reward without risk. Besides the probability of this guy being the real deal was an even event so he might as well.

Leith's chubby fingers danced across the computer flexibly.

*Chubby- Hi.

*Sent*

Leith was not expecting a reply immediately so you can imagine his surprise when the person replied under one minute after he sent his greeting

*Afi- Hello.

“Oh?“ Leith said in a surprised tone. His fingers began typing at lightning speed.

*Chubby- Do you really train people and teach them how to fight?

*Afi- Yes I do, why you want to learn how to?

*Chubby-No I want to say hi to you, what do you think smart ***??

The person who had been rudely answered for no reason “………..“ “Should I just kill him?“ The person's icy blue eyes narrowed dangerously at the screen *ding ding* a notification came in at that time. Looking at the message the person's cold aura cracked upon seeing it.

*Chubby- Anyway nevermind that, it's good that you actually teach people how to fight or I would really get heart broken that a person with such a cool name actually was a scam your names really cool man👌 wait are you a man I feel as if your a man so tell me sensei kun~~~ are you a man??

“Too chatty.“ The person said in a slightly less cold voice.

*Afi- Yes chubby I am a man.

*Chubby- Cool me to so, how are we going to go about this?

*Afi- send me your WeChat it will make communication easier.

*Chubby-Why not Facebook through?

*Afi-I prefer WeChat

Leith nodded although the man could not see him, sending the man his WeChat account he felt no danger at all, even if the man was a stranger he gave him ' good person vibes ' although he knows this was stupid but his guts told him to just go along with this guy after all his guts were like danger sensors that were always somehow on point.

*Chubby- Here you go Afi sensei.

*Afi-…………..

*Afi- Don't call me that.

*Chubby- Why is it too cute for sensei Kun~~~ (⁠〃ﾟ⁠3ﾟ⁠〃⁠)

Afi's whole face twiched at the obvious way this person was trying to act cute. 'Still it's cute.' Azalea spoke in his usually soft voice. Afi rolled his eyes at his usually quiet wolf's sentence. Yes he is a warewolve and Azalea is his wolf form. Although one they have two separate consciousnesses.

*Afi- Do you want me to teach you?

*Chubby-Sorry Afi.

Afi smiled “Smart little animal aren't ya?“ This conversation was getting more and more interesting by the minute and that on his own was bad because Afi came to the dark web to bait some Mafia crime boss but now not only had he failed in doing that but he had also gotten involved with as far as he can tell a pretty innocent person ' grandma won't like this-' “ I know” Afi coldly cut off Azalea and continued typing to this *chubby*, honestly he knew the dangers so did his wolf but for the life of him he could not stop himself from wanting to know the person more, it may sound like a cliche but he felt drawn to the guy.

*Chubby-text me on WeChat then Afi.

*Afi-ok.
