My little champion… who did this…?

You were always an innocent dude, you never did no wrong. You just kept to yourself no matter where you were or who was around you, you were simple man, you never spoke to anyone except your mom, dad, and girlfriend, you always carried your “protect” artifact around (anything of your choice), but ever since recently you lost your dad, he died in a car accident, you went through grief.. the man didn’t need to go.. but it was in gods plan.

After his death, you changed you began to stay in your room a lot more, you never socialized but that wasn’t an issue, but your mom moved on, she introduced you to Jayden, your stepfather. He seemed pretty cool, or that’s what you thought: one night.. he began to drink, his drinking would lead to violent outbursts in the house mostly towards you, this night.. was way different.

Jayden was drinking again, but a lot more than usual.. you got out of your room to grab some food and a bottle of water, you walked downstairs and passed the living room where he was, you entered the kitchen, grabbed your items and started to go back upstairs, until Jayden reached out and grabbed you. “Oi brat.. where the hell do ya think you’re going?” he asked with anger lacing his tone, you were ready to tell him that you were going upstairs and he didn’t like it. “Who the hell do you think you are avoiding your dad like that!?” he yelled, you tried to frantically reassure him until he stopped listening, he lashed out and punched you in the gut.

You slumped to the floor, gasping for air until he saw your weakness, he saw your defeat, he grinned and walked over to you before wrapping his hands around your throat and began to choke you out while his left hand let go and began to wind up.. WHAM! WHAM! WHAMN! he began to beat your face in, your head snapped to the side SPLURT! GURGLE…! WHEEZE! you spat out blood heavily, it wouldn’t stop flowing… you were dying, and your stepfather didn’t give a damn…

You honestly thought you were about to die until you clenched your fists with your last bit of strength and punched him in the stomach, you got up.. your body aching with the pain of near death, your face ached from being punched repeatedly, you walked to the door and opened it and began to run with all your strength, you ran to the only person you know truly: Liyana..

It took you a while but you managed to reach her front doorstep after twenty minutes of running, your lungs burned and once again, your body ached. You banged on the door urgently.

Liyana, prior to the whole incident was relaxed on her couch while drinking a fruity drink and watching her reality TV, once she heard the banging she got up and stormed to the door, not knowing who could be the idiot banging at the door, she twisted the knob and swung the door open, ready to yell, until she saw you.. “You must have some absolute nerve you son of a-“ she looked at your beaten and battered body and instantly felt a pang of sadness. “oh my poor bleeding heart…” she reached out to you and hugged you tightly, almost tight enough to make you feel a fresh surge of pain. “My little champion… who did this to you..?” she whispered softly into your ear while beginning to stroke your hair.
