"Desious, get the hell up before I knock you up!" The threat stirs a young boy from his slumber and off the stiff mattress, his bright blue eyes opening and readying for the new day.

"Huh? Oh…Sorry, Dad. I'm getting up now." He says through a deep yawn and wiping the short, tousled hair out from his eyes.

"I swear to god kid, if you make me late to work again because you can't get to school again, I'll make sure you won't oversleep." The male voice says irritated from beneath a flight of stairs within the house

"No, its ok dad I'll be quick."

Fear fills everyone of his words. His father is a brutal parent and his mother is non existent. His room is a hollow living space that contains a simple bed with a single sheet and an even less than standard dresser. It meets his needs though, only containing a few days worth of worn out clothes that he had outgrown long ago.

The room is dim like normal since its walls lack a window and his ceiling light had been broken long ago. A result of a painful lesson regarding staying up past his bedtime to read. Desious doesn't know why he overslept again. His routine had remained the same ever since he could remember. Wake up. Get dressed. Hope there is breakfast. Go to school. Stay late to study and dread the time for him to arrive home. Hope there is dinner. Study. Sleep. Repeat. It was a depressing and bleak life, but it was his life. Thus far at least.

The minutes fly by as he walks down the corridor to the front door. Beer cans sprawled along the stained carpet floor and empty ravioli cans littered the table. His father was a alcoholic in denial, refusing to acknowledge his life in poverty and neglecting his son. Was his anger and personal issues derived from the death of Desious' mother? Or was it because of Desious' own birth? He didn't know and it didn't seem matter anyways. He greets his large father near the door with a courteous and respectful nod before grabbing his school supplies.

"Boy, the bus will be outside any minute and if I have to drive you to school again-"

"No, It's ok I'm heading out right now."

The bulky man raises his hand to a closed fist and swings it against the frail boy's abdomen, causing him to let out a painful cough.

"Don't you ever interrupt me!"

He continues to cough despite his best efforts to stop the wheezing and gasps for air and crutches down to move outside the door to the bus. Squeezing his side in an attempt to quell the pain he closes the door behind him and moves along. He passes by what might have been a yard long ago, but weeds and trash have overtaken the area and turned it into a display of hardship and carelessness. Desious stopped being ashamed of his upbringing long ago, before he had even known what a normal family and childhood looked like. He takes a long deep breath, trying to recover from the injury and brings out a worn poloroid picture. In its image, is a beautiful woman smiling. Her eyes glisten a deep blue and her ebony hair draped over her shoulders. Her carefree attitude and joy can still be felt through the captured moment in time and brings a spark of bliss to the young boy.

Placing the photo back into his pocket he continues on with hope.The doors to the yellow bus swing open and to his luck, slap him in his already injured torso. He manages to hide his pain well and smiles instead while flashing his bus card to the driver. He nods in acceptance of the proof of school attendance and gestures towards the back. Turning to his peers, Desious offers a humble wave. The entirety of the bus ignores him and a few roll their eyes, dismayed that they have to deal with the company of a peasant on yet another school day.

That is until a young girl props her foot into the aisle, causing Desious to trip and face plant into the hard metal ground. The school children laugh in hysteria at his embarrassing fall, but yet again, Desious just smiles and moves along to his seat.

"Way to go Kid Hunger."

"Yea, pitiless wonder."

He despises those names, but doesn't show it. The titles they call him are derived from his malnourished figure and the enormous portions he scarfs down during lunch break at school. They all know he doesn't eat at home, but they don't care. They know that his father ignores his son's basic needs, but It's funny to them. Its humorous that he's in a desperate situation they can't possibly comprehend nor imagine themselves in. The short trip continues with laughter at his expense. He tries to ignore the taunting, but it would be a lie if he said it didn't hurt. He wouldn't be completely honest with the question if he asked if he enjoyed living. The bus pulls up to a large and beautiful school with ivory stained gates and lion statues on pillars at the main gates entrance. Intimidating? No, but extravagant? Yes.

The children file out one by one and prepare themselves for the 'terrible' day of learning. Their joyous smiles of ridicule are replaced by gloomy frowns. Well, all except Desious who's facial expression brightens. He loved school. Hemmingway, Ezra Pound, Albert Einstein and even T.S Eliot were his friends. In their poems, essays and words contained his salvation. They didn't laugh at him or beat him. They encouraged him to move forward and continue on. They showed him a path that wasn't contaminated with insults or beer cans, but a path with no foot prints towards a destiny unknown. His path. He was, by testing standard, a genius in every aspect of curriculum, but his father couldn't afford to move him to more fast paced classes. Nor did he care enough.

"Get off the bus, Kid!"

The Driver yells, motioning with his hands to move. Stepping off he walks joyfully across the street and to the gates, the wind slightly pushing his small figure around. Bringing out the picture of his mother one more time his smile grows wider and he imagines her waving good bye to him. He fabricates her voice in his ears whispering words of encouragement.

The breeze grows stronger again, though and lifts the picture from his palms and back across the street to where the bus was parked and without thinking, he chases after. He chases after his mother. The mother that was torn from his hands and one of the few things that brings him joy. He runs after her and her fabricated words that seem to whisper quieter and quieter until she is muffled.

Then….Black. Nothing, but darkness. Desious is swallowed in a sea of darkness. He hears a car horn, but he is numb and that is all that his senses can perceive. "Mom?" He thinks to himself. "Am I finally with you?"

"Ah!" His mouth opens before his eyes and his wails reverberate around him. Again, he is afraid. Waking up, his eyelids finally snap open and panic overwhelms him."Mom! Mom!" He shouts louder than the previous screams.

A small group of three women dressed in white and adorned with red crosses on their hats charge into the room as one grips a syringe filled with yellow fluid. "Its ok! Your'e going to be ok!" One nurse reassures him from a distance, being careful not too come too close. "What happened!" He says more calmly, but still confused.

The nurse hesitates before replying, but manages to be honest with Desious. "Two weeks ago you were hit by a car across the street from your school. We nearly lost you, but you're ok now, Honey."

Two weeks? I've been sleeping for two weeks? And….I almost died? No….I did die. I had to. Mom! Where did her picture go?

"Where is she?! Where did you take her!"

"Just relax please. We'll phone your'e father and he'll be on his way soon." She tries to capture his attention to a different subject and away from the nurse holding the syringe, but it fails.

"Why does she have a needle?! I just want my mom! My dad will try to take her away! Don't bring him here!" He begins to throw his arms wildly and falls off the bed and crawl backwards to an adjacent corner of the white hospital room. His patient gown hindering his movements.

"Just calm down!" The nurses yell and run towards him, gripping and pinning his arms down, but he still manages to flail his legs in a flurry. A valiant effort, but to no avail, as the last nurse injects him with the mysterious fluid.

"No! just give me!…." His words trail off as his eyes become heavy and his body limp. "My mom….Mom?….Why?" Slipping into the darkness again, he can hear words once more. Not from his mother this time, but the stranger that injected him. "Were….Were his eyes always red?"

"Desious? Desious, wake up. You're father is here!" His eyes flutter this time instead of snapping like earlier. He tries to move his arms and legs to sit up but can feel leather restrains holding him down. An obvious precaution to take in light of the events that occurred before. The large man is at the foot of his treatment bed wearing his normal stained tank top and jeans, veins bulging from his arms, and his face in a mean snarl.

"Stupid boy." He says through his crooked teeth. "How much is this all going to cost, Lady?" He says turning to the nurse rudly.

Taken back by the lack of concern for his son, the nurse stumbles over her words. "Well, perhaps thats a conversation for a later time. Your son suffered from a traumatic event and we still need to-"

"How much! I don't have insurance! Are you trying to rob me!"

"Dad…" Desious whispers in fear of his father, "Where is my picture?" Refusing to acknowledge Desious he continues to shout at the nurse.

"Just say it!"

She finally musters up to reply to the hulking man and prepares for the worst response to the cost. "With all the expenses of medication, hospital stay and critical care units that were utilized….Approximately $350,000."

"What!" His words louder than Desious' wails from earlier. "I can't afford that!"

"Dad!" He interrupts again to compete with his fathers own yelling.

"Where's the picture of my mom!"

Finally looking towards the boy he replies with more anger than ever, "I threw it away! She's dead! Get over it, Dumbass! You know what? You should have just died with her and my life would have been so much easier! So much better!"

Desious goes numb again as the nurse is astonished by the outburst and tries to escort the man out of the room….Instead of slipping into darkness this time, Desious' vision is shrouded in a sea of filtered crimson. The cracking of his gritting teeth hushes every other sound around him and adrenaline pumps through his veins. His normally beautiful blue eyes widen and transform to a similar crimson shade.

"NO!" His words echo throughout the entire hospital and his wrists and ankles tear through the restraints, "No!" he yells again, refusing to acknowledge the news of the photograph. "No!" He leaps from the bed and towards his father. His speed and strength is remarkably fast as he squeezes the man's shoulders, gazing deep into his eyes with his own that emanate hate and years of suppressed fury. Desious drops his mouth down and clamps down into his father's neck. Biting wildly, he can hear the collar bone snap like a twig between his jaw and blood fills his mouth and spills onto the floor.

"No!" he repeats over and over, then spinning his body and sprinting towards the nurse. "No!" He chomps down onto her bicep, completely severing the limb from the rest of the body and swallowing it whole. She drops onto the floor, paralyzed by shock and pain as he continues to crunch and consume her.

Completing his meal in ravenous frenzy, he looks at the floor that is no longer white, but stained red. Consumed by rage and hunger, his mutant gene had finally manifested through the years of torment and neglect that had been piled onto the young boy's mind and spirit. He drops to his knees with tears of blood flowing freely from his eye

"What have I…No….Who am I?….Mom….Help me. Please."

@dark_desire:

OOC: no worries he keeps his three lives separate

Serial killing out on night - so many parts to collect, so many 'chosen' people

Hero on the day - gotta save the people, there are killers on the loose

Toyman during opening hours - can't kill customer's now, that would be bad

@wiseguy: I mean yeah. You're going to hate me for saying this, but I hated the animation. It makes watching old school anime a pain. Except for G Gundam, I could watch that all day.
