It had been several days since the boy's parents had passed
away. Still, he could not forget the scene where his mansion was
depleted by the raging fire.
The bleary scene that his parents were trapped in the midst of the
fire still remains deep within his mind. Along with the loud and
clear cries of his mother.
Edward had just finish celebrating his 10th birthday not long ago.
And such a lamentable misfortune had fell upon him.
He was helpless, and was without any relatives within the country.
The only person that he had could trust was his butler that had
served his family for ten years.
Even at the age of ten, he clearly knew that his chance of tasting
happiness in his future days were bleak.
He had been travelling aimlessly with his butler for days already.
Switching from train rides to train rides. Oblivious of where he is
heading to.
And before he even noticed, he arrrived infront of a tenebrous and
suspicious gate, side by side with his butler.
Crows were singing in a raucous manner as if it was a formal
welcome to them. Cold wind blew and a baleful feeling chilled down
his spine.
Only during then, sadness was scuffed off his mind. And fear
bestowed upon him.
He swallowed his saliva hard and questioned his butler in fearful
manner "May I know why are we here?"
For each and every word he spoke, his lips trembled.
His butler did not answer, instead he turn and looked at him, with
a insensate and cunning smile.
At then, Edward got the shocked out of his life. He had never
witness that kind of expression from his butler before.
He knew something was amiss. And took a few steps back, still
staring into the eyes of his butler.
He did not know what to do exactly within the few seconds.
But there was one thing he was certain of. If he fails to escape
now, his life would just be concluded in a tragical manner, just
like his parents.
He dropped the luggage that weight a ton on his right hand and ran
for his life.
Still he was only 10 at that time. Hardly even 4 feet in
height.
After running for not more then 30metres, he was knocked out from
the back.
While Edward was un-concious. He dreamt of the paradisaic times he
had with his parents.
His parents were both sitting close to him him, with his birthday
cake right infront of him. And the huge pile of presents that were
almost blocking the doorway.
Even if it was a dreamt. Edward could feel the warmth that his
parents gave him.
During then, things could not get any better. How he wished that
time could be travelled back to then.
Still he could not avoid reality, his dreams soon shattered like a
kaleidoscope.
He woke up in a cold sweat. Panting in a agressive manner, unable
to clam down.
He turned his head around, looking at the surrondings. It was all
dark and cold.

Ish how to continue?
