Chapter 1 - let's go find a missing child

Ever since I was little, I've never really been a fan of people in power. 

Look I know that sounds crazy, but you gotta hear me out for a second with this. My name's Lukas Ludo. Ever since I was little, growing up in a rich neighborhood as a broke piece of shit was tough.

I would always get bullied by the rich snobs who thought just because they had more money than me, that meant they could walk all over me. They would always call me names like: "broke slut" or "2 dollar man-whore" and even straight up "faggot". They would also touch me inappropriately. 

This was probably because I kind of look like a girl with my long hair.

 You know me though, I was not gonna let that one slide.

So that meant my ass got in trouble with many parents and/or teachers, who were mad that I beat the shit out there kids. Then they would call my stepdad, who would almost beat me to death in a blind rage. 

So you know when I turned 15, I had to get out of that mess before any of that got worse.

It's not like I cared about the people there anyway.

So I packed up the garbage that I had, waited for the drunk asshole to black out, and booked it to the forest, just outside the town. 

Where I hunted for some sticks, made a hut, and slept overnight with some wolves like the badass I am. 

After that immaculate rest, I decided the best idea was to go deeper into said forest. 

I know, "what an idiot".

I was walking about the forest, oblivious to my surroundings. When I bumped into some people who looked like cultists who were all like: "oh shit". Then they picked up a rock and proceeded to stone me with it until the brink of death, and ran away.

I was limping my way out of the forest because this wasn't going as planned. I must've made the wrong turn because I didn't recognize the place. Then I blacked out, and don't remember anything else. 

I think one of the locals got my ass to the hospital though.

"Wow, what a story I guess" said one of them nerdy doctors. "You don't remember anything else?" another asked. 

I was taken aback by the stupidity of that question. So I said "how in the fuck would I know, what are you slow or something?!". After that the doctors weren't really keen on talking to me.

After they left the hospital room, I just sat on my bed. Replaying the events in my head for some reason. Like, what kind of info would I possibly get from that. Then this weird feeling came to me all of a sudden. It felt like someone was prying my ribcage to get out. 

I was out of it after that and decided to break out of this stupid ass hospital, and go run wild in the city, like a true bum. 

So I ran out of that stingy room, booked it to the nearest window, broke that shit and ran away.

Ok, so now I was outside. Broke my leg a little but I was so drugged up it did not matter. 

"Yo! What 'chu doin you little gremlin" some raggedy, smelly old homeless fuck said to me. "What's your problem, you old fart?" I retorted. Judging by his facial expression he did not like that one bit. 

He then wobbled over to me with a broken bottle in hand. I guess he was trying to kill me with that, but in situations like that, all you have to do is walk away without a care in the world. 

After around… 30-ish minutes of walking around, I end up in this sort of plaza with a bunch of stores.

Let me tell you how much my eyes dilated at the thought of stealing a shit ton of food. I was kind of getting hard too, but don't tell anyone that; okay.

So there I was, sprinting over the mountain of free food just waiting for me to gobble up like the fat ass I am. 

I don't think I was looking at where I was going, because all of a sudden, I bumped into someone and tumbled to the ground looking like a dumbass.

When I opened my eyes again, some ragged, dusty, musty kid who looked around the same age as me. 

"Y-you good man?" he asked "yeah bro I'm alright"

 I managed out while coughing. When I got a better look, I could clearly see that he was blonde, long lashes which is crazy, and with ear piercings. He also had on a choker for some reason.

"Yo dude" I mustered out "what's your name?". I shuffled onto my ass for a second before I got up. 

"Oh u-uh my name is… Ethan" he said with a flushed face, I'm starting to think that he didn't want to talk to me. 

"Nice man, my name's Lukas." I say as the attempt of a dap up was made. "So, what are you doing?" Ethan asks wearily. Ok so that dickhead really didn't fuck with me huh..

"I'm about to go steal some food for myself, you wanna join me. I know you have no friends with that fit" he looks at me with shock. 

"WOW! Rude much but, no I'm a law abiding citizen. I would never" he says as he tries to walk away from me like I'm some homeless fent head.

"Now where the hell do you think you're going young man" I say as I yank him back from his arm.

"You let go of me you weirdo" he yells

"Nope you're coming with me you emo loser, we're going to have a shit ton of fun" I yell as he gets dragged away by my hand.

"So, where the hell are we even going, Lukas?" He questioned me while saying my name rudely.

"I don't know, I haven't thought about it yet" I spat back at him while still running to find something fun to do but then. All of a sudden. OUT OF NOWHERE…. I saw a flyer while I was running. I know, kept you on your toes there.

"Yo, is this a missing child's poster?" Ethan wandered. "Oh, I wonder.." I remark while giving this dumbass the stink-eye.

 "Wait hold on, I got an Idea of what we can waste our time on!" I exclaim excitedly. "We're gonna go find her, aren't we.." Ethan sighed with disappointment.

"First of all, shut the fuck up with that corny ass one liner" I say "secondly, what else do you want us to do".

"Lukas, I just want to leave right now. I have to get back to my parents' house or else I'll get belt to ass".

"Yeah same here, but guess what Ethan" I say.

"What?" he asked curiously.

"I don't give less of a shit. In fact, I left that abusive shithole so that I could go do what the hell I want. Don't you think that's way more fun than being a nerd and going home to mommy and daddy?"

"I mean, I guess but-"

"But what?!"

"..."

"Okay, sure, fuck it, why not" Ethan said, knowing that he was getting nowhere with this. I jumped for joy, this meant that I finally had someone to do shit with. The best part is; I don't have to pay them like a prostitute.

Ok, so we were looking around the city like idiots, trying to find any leads on where that dumbass girl went.

Oh wait, I almost forgot to mention what she looked like. So I'll give a little description:

She looked around 10 years old. From the information on the flyer, she's around 165cm to 167cm. She had Heterochromia. One eye blue, the other green. She also had long, straight, black hair and some overalls on and a paint-stained shirt underneath. She looked so happy in the photo that it got Ethan's pussy ass to start crying. I will admit it was sad to see. 

Nothing I can do about it besides finding her before she gets killed or something.

Okay, I think you guys get who we were trying to find here. Plus that's all the info that I knew. Anyway, we decided to start aching the locals about her. I don't know why we didn't think of that in the first place.

"Yo, do you guys know anything about the missing girl" we both say in unison.

"Nah sorry kids, we don't know" one of the locals said.

"And to be honest, we don't really care about it. Like, at all" another one added.

We both looked at them with shock, because who doesn't at least SOMEWHAT care about something like this. The parents even put out a poster for fuck's sake.

We both continued looking for something that looked somewhat suspicious. Guess what though, there was fucking nothing. We spent four goddamn hours, looking all across this shitty town and there was no trace.

"Yo, Lukas"

"Yeah man?"

"Somethin tells me this is a bust"

"What 'chu mean bro, we just gotta keep looking"

Ethan looked at me in disbelief, even though I was right. Before Ethan was going to chew my ear off on how retarted and/or insane I am. I got the bright idea to go look in the forest that was outside of the town.

 We were wandering around the forest and shit. Ethan's shirt got ripped from getting caught on a stray branch. 

That's when I got to see how weirdly malnourished this dude was. I mean it wasn't like I was well fed, but for someone with more than one parent. It's kind of concerning to be honest.

"Damn bro, you're like skin and bones" I say.

"Oh, this.. It's nothing for you to concern yourself about" Ethan says with a little bit of distance in his voice.

"Ya know.." I say disheartened.

Ethan looked back curiously

"After this, we should go steal some rich fucks wallet to go by McDonald's" then he looked me with a big goofy grim, lookin' like a goddamn goober and everything. 

"yeah sure bro" he said while trying to return his face to normal.

"HELLLP! SOMEONE PLEASE HELP MEE!!" 

We hear a scream coming from a distance that sounds like a little girl. I'm a fucking genius. We both look at each other in shock.

"Yo.. you think that's who you're looking for?" I said while knowing damn well the answer. "What the hell do you think.." he said which, I can't disagree with but, damn.

We started to sprint as fast we could towards the noise, which led us to this abandoned house right in the center of the forest. We headed inside like the white folk we are.

"Goddamn this place is a mess" I say disgustedly "I wonder if a homeless guy is crashin' here?"

"If one was, we would be fucked" Ethan whispered "also keep your voice down idiot, we don't want whoever is here to find out about us".

 Then, we heard some commotion upstairs in one of the bedrooms.. I think. At that time it sounded like something I probably shouldn't talk about was happening to a prepubescent girl, which is crazy.

We hurried upstairs to stop whatever crime was going on in there. When we made it up the creaky grimy stairs, we looked for the most suspicious door we could find. 

That door was the one at the end of the haul, it was bashed in and everything. It look like someone was trying to get in their by force and fucked the door up. We walked closer to that door, and we started to hear that crazy sound more clearly. 

It sounded like someone was eating one of those giant gummy worms that were popular a while back. 

"Yo what could possibly be going on in there?" I wondered out loud. 

"Yo keep your voice down, all you know is that there's two dudes in there eating each other out" Ethan shushed me, that little shit.

"I wouldn't mind seeing that" I say, obviously sarcastically. I'm not gay okay.

We were so close to the door now, I don't know what we were dilly dallying for, like bro just GO IN DUMBASS!

The door creaked open by itself like we're in some horror movie. Then again, what we saw could count as one.

There were half-digested bodies, all around the room. The smell was horrendous. It felt like a skunk directly sprayed into my nose. Ethan immediately started hurling whatever was left in his stomach. Blood covered the walls of the room like some twisted art project. 

There was a girl, in the fetal position, crying her eyes out. It was not the one we were looking for. That one kept the door up I think. She had long black hair, stained with blood. She looked around a year older than that missing girl. A ripped green bridal dress covered her battered and scared up skin. She had what I think is her name on her left leg. "Maria" is all that is said.

"I'm so disgusting!!" she screamed, losing her voice in the process. We were booked so shaken up, we couldn't move a muscle.

"Holy.. shit.." I whisper, trying to hold in my own vomit. 

Then we noticed something, her eyes looked all cloudy and gray. 

"You think she got cataracts?" Ethen trembled, now with an empty stomach.

"Maybe.. I don't know" I said to myself.

"N-no, go away!!" she panicked, with a hint of desperation. She probably sensed us or something.

"Y-yeah.. We've come to save you Maria, just stay calm, okay?" Ethan said gently.

 "OH thank the lord! Thank you! THANK YOU!!" Maria thanked us, just as her voice gave out.

"Yo, who did this to you?" I asked while trying to carry her as gently as possible. "S-some mean business man bought me from my family." she started to tear up. "My father told me to my face, that this was the only thing I'm good for". My blood started to boil, who does something like that to their own kin, and what kind of sick and twisted person would even do something like this.

As I started to carry her, Ethan said to me that there's also blood, dripping from you-know-where. That shit sent me off the edge. If I EVER find who did this to her, I'm gonna do something much worse to them.

We got out of that shit hole, and ran around the forest. We forgot where we even came from because that shits was traumatizing as hell. 

While we were running, I guess she must've fallen asleep, which is good. I'm glad that she can still sleep from experiencing that.

"Yo bro" I whisper to Ethan, trying not to wake her up. "Where did we come from again?"

"I thought you were paying attention to that," Ethan replied.

We both sighed in disappointment in ourselves for being so stupid.

"Whatever, let's just go find somewhere for the three of us to sleep" I thought to myself. 

We continue our search for the exit, but then we see a warehouse. It looked abandoned, but not as abandoned as the other house. We were all like "JACKPOT!" because we could just crash here instead of some bumfuck homeless shelter.

We sneak up to the warehouse, trying to help her sleep. 

"HEY!!"

Someone yelled from inside the place, Maria jolted awake and asked why we screamed.

"It's ok Maria, don't worry about it" Ethan reassured her.

Then I noticed a glint that brought back some terrifying memories. I started to shiver a little. 

"Hey man, j-just calm down. All we're looking for is a place to crash" I say, stuttering a little.

"So your not that weird old guys that tries to make us his assistants" 

I think he must've been talking about that disgusting pervert that did this to Maria.

"No! We promise!" Ethan screamed, he was at his limit of bullshit that day. He then lowered his weapon, whilst whispering to someone deep in that warehouse.

"Ok fine, you can come in, but for only this night" we both sighed with relief.
