The Reaper

Back then there was only one person who ever cared for me and that was myself, in this world its survival of the fittest. I was in a forest surrounded with nowhere to go, completely alone I had to escape.

I kept running but eventually they caught up, I started to panic. Looking for a way out I quickly scan my surroundings, nothing I was caught I had to give up.

I fell to my knees and accepted death just as the creature lunged, cutting right through its head a blade in the shape of a crescent moon laid stuck to the floor

I look up to see a man as tall as a mountain and had arms that was as thick as trees then I hear the the creature that was just killed moan and turn to dust it was unlike anything I’ve seen before then more people started coming from the shadows of the forest and almost like another chore like mowing the lawn these people had hunted and killed all the creatures it's looked so easy I was afraid of these people but I weird enough I kinda admired them as the fighter in me looked at them and I knew they were strong.

The strongest I’ve ever seen, I stand up as slowly as possible and start to back away. I couldn’t stay there as I thought I was next and there was no way I could fight them so I had to run but just as I turn to run something caught the collar of my shirt “where do you think your going?” and with ease lifts me off the ground.

Turning me around face a man that had long hair and to me looked scary “well are you going to answer me niño?”(boy) confused I shook my head and tried to break free but of course his hand was rock solid “haha okay niño if that how you want to play okay, hey Willy he’s all yours''. He lifted his weapon as if he was going to strike me.

I closed my eyes waiting for the impact but nothing I opened my eyes and the weapon had disappeared, at this point I’m freaking out and I have no idea what is going on anymore.

Then he grabs me with his other hand and passes me to the other person “okay kid you got two choices one you can not give us your name and die here or two you can give us your name and live so what’s it going to be?” given the choice of life and death “ I don’t have a name” the man’s expression changed a little and he seemed more gentle

“ well hey no name my names Willy” everyone chuckling. “Well I guess we should also introduce ourselves the names Angel, this is also Angel and the one who caught you is Sebastian don’t worry about him.

He may seem mean and rude but in reality he cares”. And there’s a few more in this group but they’re back at base, oh that reminds me. Hey guys let’s take him back with us”

I kinda expected them to argue about taking me in or say I have some kind of medical issue and I might be to much like most adults would say to me just like my real family but they all shook their heads. I looked shocked and almost in disbelief I ask them

“w...w.wait what if I have diseases or am too much to care for or I’m just a kid and that I don’t matter or…..or the fact that I’m trash?”.They all looked at me and they all started to laugh

“Hahahahaha they say that to us all the time niño so what makes you any different. In this world is survival of the fittest not survival of my feelings being hurt aww boo hoo”. “Listen kid what sebastian means to say is we have all been through that and yea you shouldn’t care about what they say. What matters is that your alive now that we got that out of the way”

Angel came over and gave me a hug.The moment I felt that warm embrace I started to cry until I had no more tears left. Listen kid it doesn't matter anymore your past everything because now you're going to become something much more now follow us…. Sage”.
