~ Prologue: Meet~
The deep green forest under the gloomy sky.
What a beautiful natural landscape.
But.why such a beautiful landscapes could somehow make people felt.sorrow?
There was some slight sound.a whimpering came behind the shrubs; it seemed to belong to a white figure..
Walked though the shrubs.Oh.there were a child!
The child's age seemed not more than six. A lot of mud upon his little hands and his pure white clothes
"What're you doing?"
Surprising by the voice came suddenly behind him, the boy wiped his tear away immediately, because he really didn't want anyone to see him.crying.
"My cat was dead." He said emotionlessly as if it really didn't matter to him.
In fact the boy was going to bury his dead pet.
"You.really do see me? " the boy blinked, locked his curious eyes on the stranger. That's strange! Usually everyone didn't seemed to notice his existence at all.why that stranger.but the boy believed that the stranger couldn't be a bad guy shortly after he saw the other man's gentle smile.
"It was killed by the other kids?" So many bloody scares still could be seen upon the miserable body of that cat.
"My older Brother did it." The boy bitted his lip coldly. "I know he did it."
Then the boy bitted his lips again, went on." My Brother always trick me, and push everything he did on me after his tricks coming out, then those grown up got mad with me! "
Now the boy laid his cat down to its grave, so gently as if he was afraid the poor cat could still felt pain even after it dead.
"If he trick you, go and tell your father!"
"Father.he's busy." The boy smiled bitterly. He was so sure it wouldn't do him any good for telling his Father, who always be cold to him, and have never lay his eyes on him!
"Then.what about your mother?"
"I.don't have Mother."
---Stay away form me! You aren't my son!
---That weird kid.I can't bear him anymore!
The angry shouting of his Mother-his step mother and her terrible looks suddenly echoed inside the boy's heart.
He knew the woman whom he called "Mother", wasn't his really mother, yet even no one have ever told him, instantly he felt that his really mother was already.dead.
What would it be if his mother still alive?
"Nobody like me.. isn't it because I'm a bad kid?" he tried to keep calm. However, his tear went out again uncontrolled.
"No, you're not a bad kid at all.I believe in you."The stranger said and reached his hand to wipe the boy's tear away.
"Really?" That person said.believes in me? And in fact no one had ever been so gentle to him before.
."Yes.. not a bad kid can take care to bury his cat like you did."
"Nobody like you? .Impossible.in this world there must be someone who care about you, and beside I'm fond of you!" That person said.he's fond of me? A wave of happiness he had never been before flashed though the boy totally.before he could answer.a female voice came far away.
"Young master?" the maid's voice came clearer now.
"Someone's asking you to go back. Look! It's truth! Isn't it still being someone here to wait for you and care about you?" The stranger smiled. "Now, it's time to go home."
"Will I see you again?" The boy asked in difficultly, not willing to leave.
"Yes, of course." He was too young now.better keep waiting for a while.soon enough time'll past though. It didn't matter.
"You must come here again for me!" the boy exclaimed for the other man's answered. "It's our promise!"
"Sure."
".Young master, is that you?"
The boy turned and saw the maid coming.
"Finally there you are! We better come back now!" The maid said. If someone found out Young master went out without permission, she would have a really big trouble.
Being force to walk out of the forest with the maid, the boy turned his head to the deepen of forest again, but inside the silence forest, no one was there now.
"Young master, had you talked to someone before I came?" The maid asked uneasily. Not only because it was the first time she talked to the Young master like this, and beside.she had already heard enough strange and terrible tales about this Young master before.
"No." The boy grinned innocently, such an innocent smile. Though the stranger had never reminded him to keep it in secret. Still he was sure that he should keep it in secret from everyone else.
The maid didn't ask any farther. The two walked toward the ca stranded near the edge of the forest in silence. Still the maid noticed that the boy seemed to be very happy, so she laid down her mind, too.
---Even Mother hated me, Father ignored me, and Brother and the town folk- kids tricked me. I won't be afraid anymore.
---Because "He" said, he's fond of me!
To be continue.
