1. Da beating

~~~~~~~~

London: 2007

~~~~~~~~

"Hey, Aron how ya doin" a Child like voice sounded out in a mocking tone, just before I felt two hands pushing me towards the Ground, as I fall.

"H-Hey J-Ja-jack, h-h-how w-was your d-day" I said forcing a Smile onto my Face, as I looked at the Obese Figure in front of me.

The Boy Had short Black sweaty Hair, Brown Eyes with slight cruelty seen in them, and stood at 4,1 feet (1,25m), behind him stood a skinny Blond haired boy with Blue-Green Eyes and fine Garments, just a few inches bigger than the other.

"Pretty good I have to sa', and I got to hear somethin Interesting from our Math Teach, cause it look like you gave m' da wrong answers on ma Homework." He speaks crookedly while looking me dead in the Eyes as he comes to the last part

'Shit, I knew it was too late yesterday' it was already after bedtime when I did it, and my Mind wasn't in the right place.

"So, Im sure that i' was just a mistake this time..." I sighed in Relieve as he said that, believing that I wouldn't be beaten today.

"Bu' tha don't mean that we shouldn't teach ya a Lesson, So ya won't repeat tha' in da Future." he stated threateningly, as a Devilish smile appeared on his Face, and the Kid standing behind him joined in with the Smile.

My Face dropped. 'Bollocks'

I tried to run away, but I quickly noticed that it was futile with my scrawny built, the End of the Alley was just too far, and even though the one was skinny and the other Obese, I experienced on multiple occasions that I am even slower than them, but I did it anyway, hoping for the best.

Standing up my whole Body trembled thinking about them being behind me, as I pulled myself up with my Hands, but then my left hand slipped on the wet Concrete still pushing my legs off the ground I rush slowly beginning to balance myself again from the mishap.

After running a few seconds something heavy -very Heavy- fell on me as I plunged towards the Cold and wet concrete.

I felt as If my Ribs were breaking, while Jack sat on my Back he said "Oh no, it sems tha' thit little doggo i' tryin to run away from us" He chuckled at that "What do ya think we shoulda do Chuck?" He asked the Tall Kid who responded by walking nonchalantly towards them.

"Well shouldn't disobedience call for another Punishment?" As he approached a smirk appeared on his Face and it slowly became wider and wider until it was almost at his Eyes.

Jack turned me so that I faced them as I was still lying on my Back, and they looked at me as if looking at a Toy.

I had Short Light-Brown Hair paired with Brown Eyes that have a tinge of Yellow inside of them, my Face looked pretty decent if we overlook all the Bruises and sticking plasters on it, I was still 8 years old so I didn't have any Acne or the like.

Seeing the two Smiling like Hyenas after finding their Prey, the only thing that came up was something my Farther is always saying when working on a Stressful project.

'Oh, Bloody F#cking Hell'

And before I could come back from that I saw a Fist flying towards my Face, I tried to Block it with my Hands but I was too slow, as the attack landed, my Face flung towards the side, spit leaving my Mouth, and before I could really realize what happened another one came at a Rapid speed.

Being able to shield my Face this time as for my Arms already having moved a little towards it before, he hit them, but contrary to what I thought would happen, the Fist just went in between my two sloppily placed Forearms and hit my Face again and again. . and again. . .

After a few Minutes of being beaten like a Sandbag and me still trying to defend myself, Jack stopped as he looked over to Chuck and said "Wanna try too?" but Chuck only chuckled a little as he walked past us saying "Maybe another Time but let us go first.".

Jack stood up from me as I felt Relieve, right after which Jack kicked into my Stomach saying "Get it right nex time, Cocksucker." after that he left after Chuck with a smile on his Face, as obviously being proud of himself.

'Who sucks the Cocks here?' I wondered because of the relationship Chuck and Jack have, where Jack is akin to a Loyal dog.

After lying there for a full Minute having to calm down from what just happened and getting a Grip over myself, I took both my Hands towards the End of the Alley where the two boys left to, and slowly raised both my Middle Fingers, wanting to shout out "F#CK YOU GUYS" but it only came out as a whisper.

"Argh, Shit what time is it even?" I questioned myself quietly as I took out my phone to look at.

It showed that it already was [14:11], "well gotta hurry otherwise dad will worry" I said aloud with slight melancholy.

'Wait. . . I feel like I'm forgetting something.' I said before looking around, but in the end ignoring it 'Well whatever, if I can't remember it, it probably wasn't anything important'

I think as I make my way Home.

Walking Home I look at the surroundings, I walked through here so many times but today something felt odd, I couldn't quite put my Hand on it but it was weird.

So I went through my Memories if I maybe heard that something happened at the 'Cockspur Street' that I was walking by, but I didn't remember anything unusual happening.

After thinking about it for a while more I decided to just ignore it and walk further Home.

After a few more minutes I arrived at a Building and went in, going up the stairs to the upper most floor I take out my Apartment key, unlock the door and enter.

I say "Hi Dad" as I know that he is probably just in his Office programming something or doing paperwork, he really did much paper work the last few Weeks.

I walk through the Apartment Ignoring the 'Woman' that is on our Couch, and walk into my Dads Room. There he is, sitting on his Chair in front of his Computer where some sort of Simulation is being played.

He was pretty Big, about 6,3 feet (1,92m), he has Blond-Brown Hair and Yellow-Green Eyes, with a decent Built even though a little neglected as of his working hours.

"Hi" I say again in Case he didn't hear me the first time.

He looks over his shoulder to see me, a smile forming on his Face directly after, as he says "Oh, Hi I was already wondering where you were. And? how was the day?"

"It was pretty good, even if we mostly just repeated the things we already did." I said smiling, because that was the Truth, Jack and Chuck only Bullied me after School or while Breaks, because they are in 5th Grade while I am in 4th.

But them he suddenly stood up from his Chair and walked towards me, crouching down right in front of me so that we are at the same Eye level.

He says with a Voice full of authority and worry"Who did this?" as he looks at the new Bruises and such, because before today the injuries were still believable, if I told them I fell or something but this time it was on another Level.

The seriousness of the Voice took me by surprise as I stuttered slightly "A-Ahm, I-I J-just f-fell down t-the Stairs. . . 'again'"

He sighed at that "You know that no one can help you if you don't say whats wrong, don't you?"

.

.

"N-Nothing is w-wrong" I say looking at the groundwith thinking to myself that I am not even able to say what's wrong to my own Father, how pathetic.

He sighed with a little disappointment before asking "So I wanted to go buy some Stuff at the Mall, want to come with me?"

"S-Sure, when"

"Mhm, let's say about 18 o'clock, you alright with that, or do you have another thing you don't want to tell me?" he teased with slight sadness evident on his Face.

"No I don't have anything else." I say resolute, before going back and walking into my Room before closing the Door behind me.

Feeling the Pain from my Face I walk towards a Shelf of my Desk, opening it I take out a First Aid Kit and started treating my wounds.

I learned that from the School Nurse, because I came so often to the Infirmary because Chuck really likes 'hittin n' kickin'.

After I was finished with tending to the wounds on my Face I walked towards a Pile of Books stacked on top of each other, taking the one on top of it, It was called 'Jerick and the World', I started flipping through the Pages until I was at Page. 257, and I read further into it.

The Story of the Book was about a Man who wandered the World, found treasures, Woman, Love and unleashed the Mysteries of the World, It's a World where Monsters as Big as Mountains and stronger than the Strongest of Weapons are, there exist Legendary Artifacts, even Gods do, but our Main Character had nothing until an Accident suddenly flung him into that world, forcing him to walk the path of Adventure.

I like the Story personally it has drama, love and such, but the most interesting part is how he tries to solve his Problems, he doesn't just destroy everything ahead of him, just attacking without a Plan, or forcing a Negotiation with Overwhelming Power, instead he tricks his Opponents to then completely annihilates them, without them even knowing about it.

After a few Hours of reading comfortably in my Bed, I hear a few knocking sounds coming from my Door, as I look at it in confusion, before remembering that I agreed on going shopping with Dad.

Closing the Book and putting it to the Side I remember the Page. -370- and walk towards the Door, opening it I was Greeted by my Father standing at the Entrance putting on his Shoes.

Taking after him and doing the same we go out the Door and walk towards the Mall.

"Look I know that you probably think that I wouldn't be able to help or would even make it worse for you, but it's clear that you are being bullied or something, so I'm going to call your school and maybe we can find a Solution, but you would have to help me with that, Okay?"

I look down in thought for a couple of seconds before just nodding my Head agreeing to what he said.

"And Hey, It's not all bad now, I for example got a Job Offer from Stark Industries..." As he says this my Eyes start to shine as I think about the Multi-million Dollar Company reigned by Tony Stark, even though they mostly just produce weapons as of now, they are the Elites of the Elites when it comes to technology in general, as he continues "even though we would have to move to New York for that."

Oh that's Awesome then it's like a New Beginning, the chance of a Bully-less life maybe even.

Just as I wanted to Say how Awesome that is, I noticed this weird feeling return back to me, the same as when I walked by Cockspur Street, wait where am I right now? I wondered before realizing that I again am at Cockspur Street, I just didn't realize we already walked this far.

Right Before . . .

*#'BOOOOOM'#*

A Enormous Explosion came out of a Car, the Fires Engulfing Everything I could see as people in the Background began to Scream
