I was amazed by how beautiful Naturaus was and the sights I saw. Then something hit me in the back of my shirt. The world grew dark around me and I started to fall. I was in this endless hole yelling for help. "Help! Help!", I yelled but no one came. Now, before you know the rest of this story, you must know the beginning. It all started on the Night of May 2, 2016...
Chapter 1
I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw my mother. She was bloodstained and almost ripped to shreds. My father was taken to a mental institution and I could not bear the thought of him leaving although I despised him for what he did to my sweet mother. My brother was in jail serving time for murdering his girlfriend and stealing priceless jewels. Now the only person to comfort me is my aunt who is drunk all the time and smokes at least one pack of cigarettes a day.
I felt depressed for days and almost choked on the fumes of my aunt's cigarettes and resorted to staying in my room all the time. All I could afford were tea and crumpets and some cheese at times. I nearly decided to run away to somewhere safe or to my friends but I knew there was nowhere to go. That changed when I saw a note on my door.
My mother sent it from the hospital and I was frightened when I read the contents.
"Dear Liam,
I know you are depressed now and are thinking of running away but don't. I have disclosed a gift next to this note and you must follow the instructions. I have no time to explain and they are coming after me. Hurry my son!"
I looked below and saw no gift but when I looked again there it was, the gift my mother sent. I took it and packed my bags. I left a note to my aunt saying that I was supposedly going on a school trip. I drew the symbol on my door and opened it when I was blinded by a light. I walked forward and opened my eyes. I could only get a glimpse before I collapsed and was knocked out hearing the word "Naturaus" and that was all I knew about this mysterious place...
