《Kiss of the Silent Night》


 Prologue 1: The childs first job

    Within the year of 2029 a child was born, and they had heterochromia. This child would constantly get picked on for having two different colored eyes until they entered an entirely different realm completely. Within this realm, everything looked like it was made out of nothing but code. Though everything within this realm was made out of nothing but code, it looked and felt real, portraying the same kids that bullied the child in front of them. Due to curiosity, the child ended up touching the kid in the middle. Then the other kids disappeared, and the child was placed in an unfamiliar place. The child would try to get the attention of the woman within the unfamiliar house. However, the child was unsuccessful no matter how many times they tried. Scared and what seemed to be alone, the child went to a corner of the realistic coded house and curled up crying their eyes out.


    The child¡¯s cries didn¡¯t last long when they heard a familiar voice coming from the house within the hallway. When the child lifted their head, they saw the exact same bully running up to their mom. Despite having both parents who loved them, they never received the type of love and care from their own mother before. The mother of the bully cooked and even smiled once they came home giving them a big hug. Though the child knew that neither the mother nor the bully was real, they still wanted to join in on the hug. For just a single moment, the kid wanted to know what it was like in a mother''s warm embrace. Just when the child got up to head over to the mother and her kid the child froze as they heard heavy and unsteady footsteps coming from the hallway outside the kitchen. Then suddenly, within seconds of the person being in the house the child screamed in pain.

    The child¡¯s left eye poured blood as they screamed holding it, trying to get the bleeding to stop. When the child removed their bloodied hand and stared at it in shock, their vision in their left eye went completely red. The child was hunched over breathing heavily as a man walked into the kitchen. Smack! The kid''s head shot up when they saw the man hitting on the woman who was holding her child close to her. As soon the child saw the scene of what they assumed was the father hitting his wife, their eye started to bleed even more. In an unimaginable amount pain made the child hold onto the bloody eye and stumble backwards into the wall.


    Thanks to the loud arguing that the mother and father were doing, they didn¡¯t hear the loud thud for when the child hit the wall. Unable to move thanks to the blood loss, the child had no choice but to sit there and watch the mother get beat. The more the child watched the scene unfold the more they bled. It wasn¡¯t until they were on the verge of death did something happen. A teenage boy who seemed no older than the age of 17 knelt down in front of the child and held out his hand.


    ¡°I will help you. Try to gather all the strength you have left and accept my hand.¡±


    Those few words gave the child hope, which was something he lost within just a few minutes. Although, due to the child having no idea who the guy was the child hesitated in receiving his help. But the child¡¯s will to live was greater than his sense of danger at the moment, therefore, the child gathered what was left of their strength and took the boy''s hand. Slowly the teenage boy closed his hand around the child¡¯s and smirked. He said not but a word as this coded boy then fused with the child.

 Prologue 2: The fathers blood debt

    The child then threw their head back and gritted their teeth in pain as the young man fused with them.  Cyberware appeared on the child¡¯s face.  It was like a mask.  It covered the bridge of their nose, while the sides curved under the child¡¯s eyes and behind their ears, Then another set of steel on the same mask formed but it was way shorter than the first.  These little wings hand a sharp tip and sharp edges through them.  The kids'' breath then finally steadied after what felt like hours of torment.  Color then returned to the child¡¯s skin and his consciousness was very slowly coming back.  While it was coming back the child¡¯s body got up, grabbed a knife, and stabbed the father in the back.  The child wasn¡¯t aware of what they were doing as the father looked back and started to fight them.


    When the child regained their consciousness back fully they saw the bloody mess that was made of the father.  Shocked and scared, the child slowly lifted up their hands and saw that their arms were covered in blood.  Their hands and arms shook as the memories of their crime came flooding back. They grabbed a knife and stabbed the father in the back.  When the father felt the knife he looked back to see who did that and saw the child standing there not saying a word and his eyes unfocused.  The child was like a walking, breathing corpse as they fought between themselves.


    The father went in for the punch but the child blocked it, however, thanks to the force it made the child go flying even after they blocked it.  The child went flying into the wall but the code kept it from breaking.  Ignoring the pain within their back, the child then charged at the father and dodged his attack.  Once the child finally got behind the father once more, they took out the knife which made the father yell in pain.  Thanks to the father¡¯s pride and not wanting to lose to a mere child, he continued to fight.  The child then threw the knife away and grabbed another one that was sharper than the last.  Once an opening was in plain sight the child slit open the father¡¯s throat, which made the father grab his neck and fall to his knees.

    Once the child recalled what happened with the father they started to feel an unthinkable amount of pain in their right arm and in their back.  The child fell to their knees screaming in pain and terror.  However, their screams of terror didn¡¯t last long, as they soon heard a voice in their head laughing which gave them a killing headache.


    ¡°How naive of you to take a stranger''s hand! Haha! It was almost too easy.  If only you didn¡¯t have the strong will to survive and get out of this place, your body would¡¯ve been mine for the taking.¡±


    ¡°Why¡­ Why did you make me kill this man?¡±


    ¡°Is that a serious question? Are you an idiot? This man deserved to die.  Beating on women and his own child? Even as a sinister myself I refuse to do either.¡±
