Chapter 4 - Chapter Four: The Fall of Innocence

Angel's life had always been filled with joy and love. He lived in a cozy home with his twin brother, Damion, and their parents. Their mother was a dedicated police officer, and their father served in the military. The family had a unique pet, a wolf with a mesmerizing galaxy pattern on its fur, named Luna. They were a picture-perfect family, always supporting and caring for each other.

One sunny afternoon, Angel and Damion were playing in the backyard with Luna. Their laughter echoed through the neighborhood as they chased each other around. Their mother, Officer Maria, watched them with a smile, her police badge gleaming in the sunlight. Their father, Captain John, was in the kitchen, preparing a delicious meal for the family.

"Mom, look at Luna! She's so fast!" Angel exclaimed, trying to catch up with the swift wolf.

Maria chuckled, "You boys better keep up with her. She's got the speed of the stars!"

Just as the family was about to gather for dinner, a sudden knock on the door interrupted their peaceful evening. Maria opened the door to find Reina, a fierce and intimidating figure, standing with her soldiers.

"Maria, John, you are accused of betraying Tokyo," Reina declared coldly.

"What? That's impossible! We've done nothing wrong!" John protested, stepping forward to protect his family.

Reina's eyes narrowed. "Silence! Soldiers, execute them."

Angel and Damion watched in horror as their parents were mercilessly executed in front of them. The world seemed to shatter around them, and their hearts were filled with unbearable pain.

"Run, boys! Run and don't look back!" Maria's last words echoed in their minds as they fled the scene, tears streaming down their faces.

From that day on, Angel and Damion were on the run, constantly evading Reina's soldiers. They moved from place to place, never staying in one spot for too long. The bond between the brothers grew stronger as they relied on each other for survival.

One fateful night, when they were sixteen, Damion made a difficult decision. "Angel, we can't keep running together. It's too dangerous. We need to split up."

Angel's heart sank. "But Damion, we're stronger together. We can't do this alone."

"I know, but it's the only way to keep you safe. I'll find a way to stop Reina, I promise," Damion said, his voice filled with determination.

With heavy hearts, the brothers parted ways. Angel found solace in the home of a kind school teacher who adopted him. She became his guardian and provided him with a sense of stability. However, tragedy struck again when she fell ill and passed away, leaving Angel alone once more.

Angel continued to live in her home, haunted by the memories of his past. He tried to lead a quiet life, but fate had other plans. One day, Reina accused Angel of murder, forcing him to flee once again. This accusation marked the beginning of Angel's journey to seek justice and uncover the truth behind his parents' betrayal.

As Angel embarked on his quest, a mysterious figure in a hoodie stood atop a skyscraper, watching over the city. The figure's eyes gleamed with determination as they whispered, "I'll find you, Angel."

Angel's journey was far from over, and the path ahead was filled with challenges and dangers. But he was determined to uncover the truth and bring justice to his family.
