Chapter 1 - RE:001

Chapter 1: Re...

A cold misty night in the small nation of Kurnov,an owl hooted as smoke steamed out outside of a little bungalow, a small whitehead boy with red eyes peeled outside the window and sighed.

"Huh? When's the rain gonna pass,?"he asked his mother who was cooking a few meters ahead,she had silver hair and crimson eyes, and wore casual attire.

"Soon, Leon dear,soon" she said gently as she stirred the pot and covered it

The boy leaps from the sofa to the floor," you know soon can be tomorrow or the day after tomorrow or even a year after?" He said agitated,as he picked a cup of water and drank as he placed it back.

" Exactly" the woman added

" Why are you even in a rush ,?" She asked him

" Well ... tomorrow we got a class trip to Auturia !"the little boy said excited

"Auturia? Oh, the land of water, " the woman said

The little boy looked happy as he walked to her

" YES"he said happily

"It sounds interesting" she added

"No parents mother,those are the rules" the boy added

" I know,I know"she replied happily too

The two ate as the little light is extinguished,

" Goodnight Leon dear" she said softly

" Night mother" the boy said sleepily

She smiled as she closed the door and left

The next day,was absolutely chaotic

"Mother I can't remember where I placed my socks!" The boy shouted as he bolted out the door with one sock on , carrying a shoe

" How am i supposed to know" she replied instantly as both began to look,

" Found it" the woman said as she handed out the sock, the boy wore as he bolted out the door.

She looked at the mess then rushed out of the house in panicking

" LEORNARS,? , LEORNARS!"she called out.

The boy midway turned back after hearing his name being called,a man appeared behind him holding a bowl and loaded it as he was about to shoot a knife pierced his throat killing him.

The boy looked terrified and saw his mother coming holding a bottle of a strange blue liquid,

" How many times must I tell you, never leave the house without your dye on" she began to scold him

"Am sorry mother" the boy said sadly "I won't repeat it"

She sighed and looked at him,

" It's ok,as long as you know your mistake and how to rectify it" she said kindly as she poured some of the liquid on his hair and it turned black in colour,she closed the bottle.

" Now go and enjoy your trip,just avoid any water touching your head" she said kindly

"I will mother" the boy said taking the bottle and placing it on his backpack, and ran

She watched from afar as he left,she turned to the corpse on the ground

"Nearly Forgot about you" she said as she dragged it to the river and threw it in, the corpse was carried away by the stream .

" How long till he is old enough?" She thought

The day came to an end as Leornars was seen coming running home,,his mom was in the garden as she finished some gardening at the back of the house.

"Leon? " She called as she saw him running .

The little boy smiled as he ran to her, that night was a special occasion for Leornars.

It was just like usual,him and her

Emalian Seers Avantris, his mother came from the kitchen and instantly the lights in the bungalow turned off. She walked as she held a birthday cake for him with the candle and inscription

' Leornars Servs Avantris,8 years old '

The little boy was overjoyed as they celebrated his birthday,

" What is your wish?" She asked as he blew off the candles

" A world were you can walk freely no doubt no fear" the little boy said excited,her expression became concerned.

But then held herself back together and celebrated,and hour later the boy was fast asleep on the bed.

The early next day he rushed to school and he was with his classmates,a red head boy ,a blonde girl and a black head boy.

During recess Leornars and his friends as they played on the monkey bar some older kids came up to them .

" You leave we wanna use this bars" one of the bullies said

Leornars looked at the bullies and decided to leave till one of his friends provoked the bullies by spitting on them,he got punched and Leornars stepped in,as they struggled with the bullies one bully hit Leornars with a bottle of water and his brown black dye began to turn back, desperately he ran to class and poured some more dye .

During class the students became distant,his friends became unapprochable, he walked to the lavatory and as he was leaving he heard the teachers speaking that a white haired woman was beaten up by the townsfolk.

Leornars ran out of the school and to his forest,at a far he could see smoke,he gasped and continued running till he got close to see his bungalow in flames,his mother was near the blazing house covered in bruises as she bled.

"MOTHER!!!!!?"he called out as he ran to her, she looked at him

"Leornars , aren't you supposed to be in school?"she said slowly.

"What happened to you and why are you hurt? Who are these people?" Leornars asked in tears.

"They are the hunters, they kill our kind" she eventually said

" That I'm aware of but why are they here?"he asked

It's

" Listen here to me Leornars, know this, I'm not your birth mother but you are my son" she said tearful and embraced him.

" Even if you are not, you still are my mother " Leornars added

A man in the crowd walked up and yanked Leornars and tossed him aside, he grabbed her hair and began to pull her going to town,she screamed out in pain, Leornars was thrown and had hit a rock making him bleed,he got up and rushed only to be kicked in the gut,he fell on his knees in pain.

"What about the boy?" One man asked pointing at Leornars, the man pulling Emalian nodded

Two large men approached Leornars, he tried to resist only to be pounded on his stomach and kicked then carried away,he grunted in pain .

" Why are you doing all of this?!" He asked

The men just laughed, Leornars looked at the men's faces and knew they were the townsfolk,he gnashed his teeth and the man behind him took a club and hit him unconscious.

Leornars awoke found himself tied up at a pole,he looked around to see his mother all bleeding as a man held a whip as he struck her .

" Citizens of Kurnov, today is our day of solitude, the last day this 'Witch' who plagued our lands breathed,it's our joy and pleasure to be freed from this apocalypse" the man spoke out , the townsfolk cheered on

" Kill her!!!!" They shouted, Leornars was shocked as he turned to her and she was smiling to him,he turned to the man and recognised it was the mayor, Sahara's father.

The mayor took out a blade and raised it for the people to see,he laughed and licked it's edges then walked to Emalian and he sliced her hand clean off and busted out a laugh as the people cheered him on.

Leornars screamed out

" Don't do it!!" He shouted and his mother spoke to him

" Live a life you want to live, know your always my son" she said gently as the blade fell on her neck and beheaded her, the head rolled over to Leornars,he was in pure terror and let out a piercing scream "AAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!"

The people laughed as they began to leave, Leornars shouted out loudly

"I'LL KILL EVERY LAST ONE PERSON IN THIS TOWN, ALL OF YOU,ILL MURDER YOUUUU!!!!!" He screamed out as he got hit and tossed in a dungeon
