“Why are they hurting me” thought a boy with crimson hair that spiked out of control as he was being stabbed by the villagers that chased him into an alley way filled with bags of rubbish, a dumpster and one way in and out as day became night. “Stop “screamed the little boy, as his pleas were returned with the villagers giving him more fatal wounds, “What did I do to you?” screamed the boy earning one of the villagers to stop attacking him only for the villagers to return back to attacking and saying “you know what you did demon” as the villager hit the boy with new found strength.” leave me” started the little boy but was cut off when felt one of the villager’s feet connect with his ribs and felt the air rush out of his lungs and fall unconscious.
“Let’s kill the demon “shouted one of the villagers that was attacking the little boy, retrieved his knife.
