Long ago there was a young boy, who was a little over 13 when his parents were killed in front of him. For the next 8 years, all that the boy could think of was that the person that killed his parents was being degraded and passed around in jail just as he had degraded his parents so long ago, This is a story of revenge and how the boy learned that the world doesn't care if you are a kid or if you are an adult it will take the people closest to you and leave you empty inside but before we get to how the story ends we need to start from the beginning.
The Tragedy Unfolds
For as long as he could remember, his family was a common family with little to no money but always happy. His mom was a stay-at-home and his dad ran the family woodworking business by himself; it was a small family with him being an only child. One late afternoon when he was on his way home he ran into a man he was lost and was trying to ask people for help, But car after car kept driving right by him as if the man had not existed to begin with, it was as if the man was not but a shadow.
"Boy," the man said with a firm heart-crunching voice, "I was left stranded here by the people I was traveling with and I don't have a way to call anyone. Do you have a phone I can borrow?"
"I am sorry but I do not have a cellphone I have a phone at home if you would follow me." the boy replied.
So against what he had been told he helped this stranger and brought the man back to the house where his mom had been all day. When the boy and the man got back to the boy's house the mom ran outside to greet her son but when she opened the door she got a sour look on her face, a face that one could only describe as absolute disgust.
The mother asked the man with an angry voice, " What do you think that you are doing with my son?"
The man said calmly, "I have done nothing nor do I have any intention of doing anything to him. All I asked was to use a phone and he brought me here."
"I am sorry I was so hostile, our phone is inside please use it if you need to.", the mother said apologetically.
The man said "thank you" and went up to the phone that was hanging on the wall and presided to call 3 people before looking back at the mother and the boy and asking, "May I please stay here for a night, I got in touch with one of my friends who said that he could pick me up in a day ?" The mother was going to say no until the boy asked if the man could stay, The mother hastily said he could.
Later that night when the boy's father got home he was startled to see an unfamiliar face sitting there at the table with his son and he asked his wife who he was and what he was doing here, she told him what had happened and how the boy brought the man back to the house and because he needed to use the phone and how he ended up needing to stay one night until the people that were coming to pick him up, He finished his conversation when he was done the dinner that the mom had been cooking finished so they all sat down to eat. After the meal, everyone in the house thanked the mother for the meal and went to sleep. The strange man slept on the couch and was told that in the morning he would be going to the boy's father's work and that his friends could pick him up from there. The man agreed.
Long after the family was asleep, the man got up, walked to the phone, and proceeded to call his friends and ask them where they were. The person responded, "We are parked a little way down the road just like you asked."
After the man heard this he quietly put his shoes on and walked down the road to the car, when he got there three men were standing there next to the car dressed in completely black outfits and each had a weapon. The tallest of the three handed the man a long slick black katana with a gold and red dragon carved into the sheath, the man took the sword and all of them walked back to the house where the man had left the door open they walked in to the mother standing in the living room.
Before the mother could say anything one of the men had his hand over her mouth and another was zip-tying her hands, they put the mother on the floor and walked over to the room that the boy was sleeping in after a few minutes the man walked out of the room with the boy after a few minutes the man dragged the boy out and tied him to a chair. As the man stepped away from the boy to talk to his partner the mother got a full look at her son. The boy was bleeding from his mouth as his lip was broken open, He had what looked like three large gashes covering his body, He had a lump on him that was turning into a black eye, He had blood running down his face from a broken nose as he remands half awake. As she sees what state her son is in, the only thing that she can do is scream with all the might that she has left before the shock sets in and she passes out.
After all of the screaming his father had awoken from his slumber due to the noise that echoed through the house. As he opened his eyes there was one of the intruders in his room on the way to restrain him. He reached his arm under his pillow where he had always left a 6-chamber revolver the intruder had gotten distracted by a pile of cash that the father had on his dresser as he was distracted the father took the revolver and shot.
Intruder number 4 fell to the ground followed by a loud crashing sound after the sound of a gunshot rang out it caught the attention of the other intruders two of the remaining intruders went to investigate what had just happened in the parent's room and if their friend was still alive.
As the two people approach the room they can hear the faint cry of their friend pleading for help, but it is hard to fully make out what the man is trying to say. One of the two ran down the hallway and right into the room after hearing the sounds that her friend was making. She was just barely through the doorway when you heard two shots ring out and she hit the ground seconds later. As she lay there bleeding out she thinks to herself, " If only I hadn't listened to the man with the sword then I wouldn't be dying on this floor." After this fleeting thought, the last bit of her light faded away.
The second one that was still in the hallway was frozen in fear as he just stood there and watched as the person that was closest to him was just shot down in front of him. The boy's father swung out of the doorway firing a shot to try and hit the guy standing in the hallway but unfortunately, he had seen him as he was entering the field of view the intruder turned and tried to run away but ended up falling when his legs didn't want to move, After the first shot missed the father aimed the gum better and put a bullet through the head of the man crying on the floor.
After all of the commotion ended the final Intruder slowly started to move to the doorway. With every step closer the man took he was watching out for the last shot that the father had in his chamber. He had gotten five steps away from the door before that stress was over as the sound of gunfire was heard. The man then realized that he had been hit in the lower calf as he realized this he let out an ear curtailing scream. As he screamed the father went running out of the room to try and keep the intruder from being able to get to his feet and harm his family anymore. The father made it to the man on the floor in a second but by the time he got there the man had seen him running to him and pulled his sword he pierced the father in the stomach as he reached him.
The first thing the intruder did after he killed the father was think that this was one of the worst jobs that he had ever taken. But what he did not realize was that he had been saying this out loud as he was thinking it so the boy had heard every word he said. He then walked over to where he had the mother and the boy as he got there he looked down at the mother on the floor and stabbed her she screamed in pain. The scream made the boy look up and see his mother in a bad condition she had been stripped down to her underwear and was being stabbed over and over by the man she was covered with blood as the moonlight hit her skin through the doorway the blood sparkled with a crimson red glow.
In the end, as the boy sits there tied to the chair, he cries out to the gods, "Why, why, why did this have to happen to me why did my mom and dad have to die why did I bring that walking trash to my house if I had just walked passed him and didn't listen to him they would still be alive." For the good part of the next three days, the boy sat there in the chair surrounded by the bodies of the intruders and his parents until one of his dad's coworkers came over to see why he hadn't been to work in days as he entered the house he instantly knew why.
