Once upon a time there was a boy named Jack Callo, he was a much ordinary child with a not so ordinary life. Jack was abused by his father to the point where he would wake up in a cold sweat, his only solitude being his loving mother and older brother who protected Jack from father. One day Jack's father arrived back home from work in a drunken stuppor and when Jack's mother came, his father lunged toward her and grabbed her neck, strangling her. Jack's older brother stepped in but was swatted away leaving a scar on his face as a vase crashes on his head. Mortified the young boy quickly ran to call for help but by the time help arrived it was over.
The police arrived not long after arresting Jack's father for the murder of Amaya Pierrot. As Jack stood there as the paramedics took his brother, all he could think was "Why?". A couple of years go by and Jack is now in high school, his hardwork had earned him a scholarship at his brother's old campus where he would now start his own journey.
"Settle down, Now! We have a new batch of students so first I'd like to congratulate all of you for getting here. Your hard work and dedication is a testement to who you are and what you are capable of becoming. Now without further ado let us get on with the introductions!"
As the teacher calls on each students seat number as to give them a chance to introduce themselves, Jack is nerve-wracked. His heart pounding like crazy he thinks to himself "I feel like I'm gonna hurl". All of a sudden-
"Seat number 29? It's your turn" he calls "Oh- right! Sorry" as he reaches the front he starts to feel his legs go numb, and his vision blur but he manages to stand up-right and keep his head on straight. He takes a deep breath and he speaks "Hello, my name is Jack Callo. I come from the Gotfried Middle School for Orphans, I am 14 years old now with my birthday just having been finished"
"Ok Jack, anything else you'd like to add?" his teacher said mindfully cautious about Jack's situation, but Jack thought not of it so he simply says "Well it took a while for me to get here and everybody back home gave me such a big send-off, so I hope that I can learn a lot more here"
His teacher chuckled lightly as he called on the next student "Thank you Jack, Ok! Seat number 30 please?"
To Jack the hardest part had seemed to be over, a moment of relief in an otherwise difficult road, to Jack this was progress
The day after...
As Jack was walking down the road he noticed an odd silhouette following him around, he hastens his pace as he reaches the gate and by the time he turned around it was gone "What was that?" he didn't know what it was but it made an impression on him, an impression he would not soon forget.
Later after school...
"Hmmm... No food. I'll just go down" as he walks to the mini mart down stairs he feels a chill on his shoulders rolling down his spine tingling, he looks behind him to see nothing he hurriedly shuffles his feet down the stairs, as he reaches the mart he feels a tall shadow looming over him. It reaches over! Covering his mouth and drags him back from the shops doors, a million things race in Jack's mind "Who is this!? What's happening!? Am I going to die!?" as he struggles to break free his body moves on its own and bites the hand covering his mouth
Jack runs with all his might to the building. Running up the stairs he looks back to check If the person was following him when out of nowhere he hits a wall
Bang!* "Ow! What??? That wasn't there before..." confused, Jack follows the wall wondering where it lead. After a good few minutes he stumbles a upon a long corridor with a door of light "What is that?" curiously staring at the long hallway he hears footsteps rapidly echoing. A startled Jack darts toward the doorway, the foot steps grow louder, And louder, and louder as the hallway seemed to shrink and the door along with it. He has reached the door but it is too small to enter, the person that was following him was now at the other end of the corridor. A dark shadow looming over him as he slowly approached its prey, Jack with nowhere to go decides to start breaking through the wall. He does not know what is on the other end but its better than the fate he is currently doomed to, so he bashes his shoulder vigorously against the wall, the man getting closer, he bashes it again with more force "Almost there!" He quickly goes for another shove and- the wall breaks
Jack having broken the wall is greeted by... The outside? Jack looks around and he sees a bustling road with markets filled with fresh produce, the wall he had broken was there on the ground along with little furniture that was about the appropriate size for a doll house. He could no longer feel the mans prescence, so his eyes dart around looking for an explanation of some sort, anything to make sense of. He runs around town seeing people wearing old country clothes, carriages pulled by horse and buildings that look too far removed from the usual ones he sees
Finally after roaming around town for a good few hours he reaches the town end only to be greeted by an open field of green that stretches far beyond the horizon, mountains that look almost look like they belong in a painting, forests that look like it was painted by a professional artist and a sky of purple and blue colliding to mix with a beautiful sunset. "Where in the world Am I?"
