A few years later
A boy ran through the woods, tears streaming down his cheeks. There were gashes all over his body. Every little bit of his body hurt like hell.
"Faster, faster, faster!" He thought.
Behind him the trees were rustling and he saw shadows lurking around.
"They're coming." He thought and he sped up.
A trident flew by his face, nearly skewering him. It crashed into a tree right beside him. He quickly summersaulted and took cover behind a tree. He tried to find his pursuers and then he saw them. Monsters. The monsters had reptilian features and held tridents in their hands.
"Where issss the boy." One of the monsters said
"He mussst be here sssomewhere." another one said
The boy knew he couldn't run anymore. They would find him sooner or later. The only way to get of their was to kill them. He slid out the bronze knife that was on his leg. It belonged to... no he couldn't go into flashbacks. He had to stay focused. He grabbed the hilt and held it in a icepick grip. He waited for the monsters to come near him.
"We mussst find him. Master will have our heads for thissss." The third one said.
"Come out little boy and we will give you a sssswift death." The first one said.
"He issn't resssponding."
The dracaenas started to come over to the direction of the boy. He got into a squatting posititon and braced himself. The first one came over but the boy waited for the third one. Finally the third one came by his tree. The boy jumped on to the third one and stab his knife into the monsters neck. The monster screamed and turned to dust and the other 2 dracaena turned towards him.
"Were you looking for me?" The boy said innocently
"You killed our sssissster! Now you will have a painful death." The dracaena threw their tridents.
The boy flopped to the ground and the tridents harmlessly flew above him. He got up and ran towards the monsters and slid under one and stabbed her in the chest. The dracaena disintegrated. The last dracaena watched in awe of a little boy killing two of her sisters. However the boy didn't wait any seconds and threw the knife at her. The knife got imbedded into her chest and she disintegrated.
The boy fell to the ground from exhaustion. He crawled over to the bronze knife and held it. He thought of what happened before he had to run away.

Flashback
Aiden POV
"Aiden come downstairs. Breakfast is ready." Mom yelled
"Coming." I rolled out of bed, shaken from my dreams.
I jumped onto the railing and slid downstairs. I ran to my mom and jumped and hugged her.
"Morning mom."
"Good morning Aiden." my mom said with a smile on her face. Suddenly, with a frown on her face, she said "You know you shouldn't slide down that railing like that. What if you got hurt?"
"I'm fine mom. Nothing is going to happen to me." I said rolling my eyes.
"You're only 5 years old. Me, your dad, and your brother can't watch you 24/7. You need to be more careful. Anyway we're going out today so go and get ready after your pancakes."
"Pancakes!" I run and jump on to my seat and grab a fork and a knife. I drench my pancakes with syrup and start munching away. My mom, smiling, walked upstairs to get ready. I grabbed the remote to our T.V and turned it on. I started blaring sponge bob squarepants and started singing the theme song. I finish my pancakes and put the dish into the dishwasher. I turn off the T.V and ran upstairs to get ready.
Line Break
"Hurry up Aiden!" My brother yelled.
"Coming!" I run downstairs in jeans and in a hoodie.
We're about to leave when my dad comes rushing in, slams the door and locks it. He looks at my mom scared and is about to say something when suddenly the roof and walls are ripped away. The sky turns dark purple, the lake behind us turns into a massive whirlpool, lightning strikes everywhere causing fires. However everything is focused on one spot. A man appears, made out of black gas, purple flames for eyes. He looks at us, scanning us, and smirks when his eyes land on me. My dad moves in front of me, shaking from the raw power emitting from the being.
"So this is the little boy that will kill me." His voice sent chills down my spine. I felt like jumping off a cliff. My brother inched towards the cliff, looking over the dark lake. It seemed like in slow motion, the man raised his hand and snapped his fingers. Out of the woods, it seemed like a thousand monsters jumped out and rushed towards us. My mom turned towards me and yelled
"RUN! GO GO GO! DON'T LOOK BACK AND RUN! Take this knife and run!" My mom yelled and gave me a knife in a sheath. She pushed me towards the lake behind me. Tears sprang into my eyes, thinking that this might be the last time I might see my family.
"GO HURRY UP AND GO!" I jumped from the cliff, following my mother's orders and not looking back.
"Survive Aiden. Find your real father and become stronger."
Line Break
The fall hurt like hell. The second I hit the water, I was winded. I couldn't breathe for a while but then I felt rejuvenated all of a sudden. I grabbed the knife my mom gave me and came out, spurting water and swam to the shore. I was always good at swimming and I reached the shore quickly. The forest around the lake looked super menacing but I had to get away from home as fast as possible. Out of the blue, there was a massive explosion above me. I turned around and I see flames coming from my house. I look in shame that I left my family in there. I see 7 things coming towards me. I squint my eyes and actually see that those were something that looks like snakes. I widened my eyes when I realized that those things were the monsters that killed my parents and brother.
A ball of rage exploded in me and I wanted to kill those things and make them suffer. The monsters land and look at me hungrily. I felt aggrieved and wanted to torture these things. I felt a sudden rush of energy rush through me and I clench my hands. I screamed and I feel something explode. When I opened my eyes, I wanted to vomit. 4 of the monsters had been chopped into many pieces and the organs had been cut up. The organs turned into golden dust all of a sudden. The other monsters looked at the dust in shock. I took that chance to run.
Flashback End
3rd person
The boy got up, knowing that he had to keep on running. He knew that if that he laid down for too long, the monsters would find him. The boy started to move again and tied his knife sheath onto his leg. He started to walk towards the nearest city, Manhattan.
