New life

Zane left the moon rose planted in the garden and went to the stables to calm down the already distressed horse. Zane sat down next to the foal and started stroking its fur and mane. Zane was humming to relax him and the horse because it was a way that he always used to fall asleep in the forests safe spot. Zane fell asleep soon after the foal did.

In the morning all of the villagers went to the castle and Zane took one of the horses out on a long ride during the day to clear his head. Before nightfall he returned the horse to the stable and gave all of the animals their food. Zane went up to the loft and lay down in a hamock.

*Why am I such a clutz, *Zane sat up and put the pillow over his head and lay back down he kept thinking that all of this was his fault.

Every night Zane would walk around at night to get food from the bakery and he would pay for it too. Zane would sleep in the barn all week and once his leg finished healing he ran home to see something he would never forget.

He bursts into his house and yelled to his family that he was back, he didn’t notice all of the blood all over the walls. Zane walked to the kitchen and grabbed some fruits to eat, as he walked up to his room he remembered that his dad was the only one home today, his sister was out of town and his mother was with her.

Zane’s dad would always yell at him for not liking women but for liking men. When Zane heard no screaming or yelling he knew something was up. He looked up from the ground and saw a hall covered in blood and writing in blood.

There were claw marks all over the walls and as he looked further into the house the smell of blood and rotting corpses got stronger, he bolted towards the smell knowing full well that he was sick to his stomach and was about to pass out from being nauseous from the sights.

When he got to the back room there were three bloody corpses. His dad, his mom. And his younger sister. His dad was battered and bruised with only one limb left on his body, his clothes were ripped to shreds and the face of fear was frozen on his face.

His sister was stabbed seven times by a ginormous claw that left giant holes in her still dripping blood with a fearful face.

Zanes mother was the worst of them all, her body lay there still, a giant hole in her chest and her head at Zane’s feet. He looked down at her head and noticed that her head had a face of terror. She was more scared than his sister and dad.

Zane had two mothers one of them was taking care of Zane while he was away. She was a beautiful woman and she had the kindest of hearts. Zane got his kind exterior from her.

Zane ran to her house before he could pass out and wait for the monster to return, he bolted out the door and ran to his mothers house. When he got there she was very surprised to see him all scared and startled like that so she brought him in and helped him calm down until he fell asleep.

Zane was asleep on the couch and his mother was in the kitchen making his favorite food for when he wakes up. Zane’s mother was a beautiful woman, she was his biological mother, he had gotten lost one day as a small boy and the people’s he was living with adopted him.

He grew attached the them, when ever they were hurting he would help them but they were rude to him because he was gay. His mother accepted him for who he was and found him a few years after he got lost. He decided to stay with both families so that they would each get what they wanted.

Zane was a sweet and kind hearted boy so if anything happened he would always find the bright side in the situation, but in the situation he was in now, there was no good thing about it to him.

His mother finished cooking the food for him and she finished just as he was waking up, “come eat Zane, I made your favorite.”

Zane got up and went to the kitchen to eat, “thank you momma.”

“Any time sweetheart, just know that I’m always here for you.”

Zane ate the hugged his mother and started to cry, “hey momma?”

“Yes sweety?”

“What do you do if the people you love all die..?”

“I would be sad and cry, then I would get everything they gave me and make a shrine to remember them.”

“Ok, then just you.”

“Just me?”

Zane’s mother looked down to see a little distressed boy who had just witnessed multiple deaths, “my poor baby come here.”

Zane did as she said and hugged her tightly. Zane started sobbing into his mothers shoulder.

Zane fell asleep crying again and he was clinging onto his mother the entire time. In the morning, when he woke up, Zane was feeling a bit better and decided to walk around town with his mother.

As they were walking around a mans voice came from the back of the crowd, “wait! You two up there. The lady and the boy.”

Zane turned around with his mother to see the king running towards them, “momma what’s going on?”

Zane hugged his mothers arm tightly and they were soon surrounded by guards, “ I don’t know sweety but let’s just wait and see what’s happening.”

The king got up to them and was out of breath so he took a moment to breathe, “madam… would you please be my queen.”

“I’m sorry but I have a child to take care of.”

“He can come too, we need a princess this week or we will all be killed.”

Zane flinched at the words be killed because he wasn’t over the deaths yet, **gone gone gone, nothing you can do but kill yourself, nobody cares so it would be easier, Zane started to have a panic attack and his mother helped him calm down.**

“It would be safe at the castle if you both come.”

“I’m thinking, my son needs help right now,”

Once Zane was feeling better, “I’ll be your queen and he will be the princess, it’s for our safety and the kingdoms prosperity.”
