Destined to save them all

6. Why Me?

SEBASTIANS' POV

Fuck I can't move. Everything hurts. I try to open my eyes. My left eye won't even open. I roll over from where im lying on the floor just inside the door. Argh f**k my hand goes straight to my right ribs. Wincing while trying to get up to go to my room. What the hell did he hit me with. I dont even Remember what happened. All I remember is coming home from work the lights were all off. Which isn't unusual if Chad is passed out on the couch. That douche doesn't do anything all day but drink.

I remember a fist coming for my face then nothing. f**k.

I finally make to my feet, took me 10 minutes but I have to hold the wall so I dont fall.

He was always a drunk but not as bad till mum disappeared. No one knows where she went. She didn't take anything with her, didn't leave a note or anything just gone. I sigh as I grab at my pendent around my neck. No one knows I wear it the chain is long enough to hide. My mum always told me never to take it off. It was given to me at birth from a very important friend. It is a good luck charm Keep it on always never take it off.

"Well hopefully it can help me find you mum. Only a few more months and I will be 18 and I can leave this place to start searching"

I'm trying to save as much money as I can doing what ever jobs I find so I can finally get out of this hell hole. The neighbours are all good they don't know what happens in side the house well I dont think they do, they haven't said or done anything if they know. They all give me odd jobs like mowing the lawns, fixing broken fences, cleaning gutters just to name a few. Im a good kid my mum raised me right. They don't pay much but it all helps. I have even been in a couple of fights won some good money. Im a big guy. 6 foot 3 solid, broad, muscular I work out every chance I get. But I still can't top Chad he is bigger then me. I just seem to be weaker around him. Makes me so mad I just wish one day I could deck his arse.

Looks like no school tomorrow. Not that I care I hate school and everybody.

I finally make it to my room and slowly lower my self to my bed. I look to my clock and see its 10pm. Once I lay down I can feel the darkness coming and I pass out.

I feel my eyes slowly opening but im not in bed anymore I'm laying on damp grass in the middle of a field from what I can tell. The sun is only just coming up. I slowly sit up only to notice my ribs dont hurt infact nothing seems to hurt. I get to my feet turning in a circle to my left looking for any signs of where I am. I dont see anything I reckonise.

I swear I made it to bed last night. Did I sleep walk, did I not make it home? Where the f**k am I. All I see are trees to one side and mountains to the other and a river. Nothing is familiar at all.

Have I died and gone to heaven? Is that why I'm not in pain? Am I dreaming? I must be dreaming. I wouldn't be lucky enough to get away from that hole, and I need to find my mum.

All of a sudden I hear screaming coming from the mountain side. I see a girl running telling me to run. I stand there dumbfounded who is she and why do I need to run? I'm about to ask why when i start to feel the ground shake and in the distance behind her I see why I need to run.
