Chapter One: The Rescue

I'm free? What does that mean? I couldn't believe it. It had started out like any other normal day, I was late doing my chores and mother was mad. She had smacked me around but I stood there and took the hit. That's always the worst thing to do though. She let me have some of my brother's left over breakfast, it was Lucky Charms. I do not know why mother punishes me so; I try so hard to be a good boy. Mother had bashed my head into the tile counter top, she told me to the them it was "just an accident." I love school. It was my chance to get away from Mother. But at the same time I hated it, when I walked into the room the other kids would cover their noses and hiss at me, if only they knew though. I thought I was going to jail that day. Mr. Hansen had called the cops on me, they knew I was a bad boy. But then the police officer took me away from the school, and told me that I was free.
