Arthur felt the water pumping down his throat.. he tried counting.. trying to end this horrible feeling he was experiencing. It was worse than ripping off toe nails, he wanted to shout! As he fell lower and lower into the abyss of the dark sea.. he blacked out.. faded. Relief finally.
In America there lives a family, a golden spoon fed boy is being tussled by his older brother under instructions by their father. In this family, it was infamous for dropping their own kids into the street of the harshest of places. It was completely legal as long as nobody found out. This family was known as the Vampires in the Underworld. They only used those who were strong, and those who weren't.. they were left behind to serve a lower purpose. After their 4th child now, they thought, "Why not give Arthur a chance in the Dark Organization?", and proceeded to drop him in front of a dark room with a stone chair in the center. He was placed there and chained to it.
The father of the two boys.. named Filtar Vanner and his wife their mother is named Veronica Vanner. They are the Vanner Family. Never showing emotion to them was a good sign, that you were strong, and intelligent. They only liked those who followed orders. Veronica used to be an assassin till she went up the ranks and met Filtar.. the top of the ranks, Killer of the World.
She had been sold at a young age to a Dark Organization who's cover name is "The Planters", the Dark Organization would buy children who weren't so good looking, and torture them. Then feed them the bare minimum, and begin training them for following orders, and murder. Only those who accepted jobs and came back alive with the job completed were allowed better food, and access to other rooms in the Dark Organization. They were not trained to fight, and only to kill. She had been taught at a young age how to seduce others, do the deed and make them drink poison that tasted like coffee.
Her training partners were teenagers just like her. She grew up in this place till she met Filtar. At first with all the rumors about how he is cold to the bone, kills with one swing and comes back before morning, really frightened her and then made her excited that he was so powerful, she once had a glance at him during a feast they had after they took down another organization that called themselves "Weeders".
The moment Filtar saw her, he stared at her for a few seconds, turned and then smirked. Filtar never saw another person not be afraid of him in here. He was curious, and felt tested by her. He wanted her to himself and no-one else. He would climb this world to the top, with her or with her by force. Once Filtar's other companions saw his expression they felt goosebumps down their spine and proceeded to spit out their wine from their mouths, sprint off to find a place to shower to wash over this evil and hideous smile they just saw.
Filtar didn't think it was his smile that did it and it was just the wine.
