A nother chance

"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!!!!
