A commission I brought from Zooshi back in 2017 as well as an extract of an old story that I wrote years ago.

NOTE: Kate is Leo's biological mother and Charlie is her boyfriend. This was before Leo ran away and met Angel.

Darkness, was all Leo could see. Nothing but empty, eerie darkness. It was so dark that he couldn't even see his fingers up close and he might as well have been blind folded. In contrast, Leo could feel plenty of things. He felt his damp tracksuit bottoms stick to his legs and crotch. Occasionally he would feel an insect crawl on him, but he didn't mind that at all. Suddenly without a warning, his stomach let out a painful growl, causing him to moan in pain.


LEO: "If only. "If bloody only, I hadn't wet the bed, then I might not be in this hell hole."

He clutched his tummy in pain.

As his stomach let out another painful growl, his mind flashed back to the shocking events that had occurred that very morning. Leo had woken up after having bad night sleep. His mother had left the volume of the TV up too loud, so he hadn't fallen asleep until it was about 2.00 am in the morning. He'd woken up about 10.00 to find that he'd wet the bed. Just as he was about to clean up, Kate had entered his room. Seeing his damp bed sheet's caused her to go ballistic and she had started screeching her head off at him. She then took him roughly by the ear down to the basement, where he spent the last 10 hours in complete isolation. She'd hadn't even let him change out of his soaked pyjama clothes or let him have any water to drink.

His mouth was now as dry as a brick so he desperately longed for a drink. He further feared that he might be left there for the whole night or worse mother might have forgotten about him. However, Leo's biggest fear was dying of starvation. The thought of dying all alone, slowly and painfully in the darkness made him feel sick. He didn't want to die yet as he was only 11 and he still had his whole life ahead of him.


LEO: "Maybe, just maybe an orphanage would be a better place to live, than here. I wouldn't get beaten by the care takers and I'll defiantly get more food there. Also would I really get bullied by the rough kids and would no one ever want to adopt me?"

Maybe it was just Kates and Charlies harsh words in order to scare him. They didn't have any proof that living in an orphanage would be that bad. Leo also wondered why his own mother would do these horrible things to him? While she claimed it was for his own good, he found it very unfair because even for miner things such as coming home a few minutes late for school or not tying the house up enough, would lead to him getting beaten or denied food. While Leo had hope that maybe one day after working hard enough, she and maybe Charlie might start respecting him, but what if that day never came and they continued to be mean to him. He would be working for nothing then and his very existence would be pointless.


LEO: "One day. Not today, not tomorrow, but one day I'll leave this place. I'll tell someone such as a police offer what's going on."

However, it would be easier said than done, because what if no one believed him and he was sent back to live with Kate and Charlie, damn. The mere thought caused him to shake with fear and his aching stomach to churn. Besides, he'd once considered telling his teacher in school about his punishments at home but when he'd approached her, he felt as though he was being blocked by an invisible wall of fear and uncertainty. Leo was also seen as an outcast by a majority of his year, mainly due to his scrawny build and quite nature, so that didn't help either as no one really paid much attention to him.

LEO "One day I will leave...."
