Nathen pov.

I lay there on the ground of my room clutching my ribs. I was just abused by my 'family'. I was born 6 years ago and I was found by my family. Ever since I could remember the beatings never stopped. My so called 'family' was Tai, Summer, Ruby and Yang. Summer died a year ago and the beatings got worst. Today was Yangs 7th birthday and she got a very special present from her father. "Ha ha these work great!" Yang said happily after she used her new gauntlets on me. "I'm so lucky to get these weapons. I also hear that Uncle Qrow is going to help Ruby make her weapon. I guess it's a good thing he never found out about you because you aren't worth his time." I didn't respond faking that I had been knocked out. "DAD HE PASSED OUT AFTER I USED MY NEW PRESENT!" I then hear footsteps leave my room and my door close. I get up and limp over to my closet pulling out a bag. I put my other shirt and pants in it before setting it back in the closet. I'm tired of it. The abuse and neglect. The hunger. The pain. Tonight I would run away.

Timeskip.

It was midnight and all was silent silent in the house. I quickly and quietly grabbed my bag and opened my window looking out into the forest. I smiled before climbing out and jumping onto the grass. I stayed still waiting to see if I was heard. After about a few minutes I run from the house hurriedly despite no answer coming from within. I felt trees whip past me giving me cuts on my cheeks and arms. I didn't care I was free. I don't even care if I died right now I was free. I then saw a ship coming down from the sky. I started to make my way over confused by what it was when a voice.

"Why can't Ikora go? Or better yet any other Guardian?!" I heard a voice yell. I was able to get to some trees when I saw a man with a metal face and horn talking to a flying box. "I mean I'm in charge of the hunters. I'm glad to get out of the Tower, but still." I was about to investigate further when I heard a growl come from behind me. I turn just in time to see a pair of black jaws closing around my face. I yelled out in fear. All I saw next was a blackness.

No one pov.

Cayde 6 walked off his ship talking to his ghost while complaining. "I mean I'm in charge of the hunters. I'm glad to get out of the Tower, but still." I say when I heard what sounded like a kid yell I pulled out my hand cannon and run in that direction to see a wolf eating the throat of a child. I shoot the things face because I'm awesome and watch it turn to dust. I go over and see the kid with a gapped open mouth and wide eyes. I shake my head. "Damn animals." I mutter before closing the kids eyes. I turn away before hearing a beep. I look back to see a teal ghost that didn't belong to me scanning the kids corpse. "Ya can't help him buddy he's dead." Next thing I knew the kids shone brightly with light and laying there on the ground was the kid perfectly fine. "But shouldn't guardians be....." I started to say before the kid sat up with fear in his eyes. He looked around before his gaze fell on me.

"What?" The kid said before I decided to give him a introduction to being a guardian hunter style.

"Welcome back to the land of the living kid. You got extremely lucky being who you are." I say as the kid looks at me scared. I let out a sigh. "You got a family kid?" I asked causing him to scramble back.

"Please don't take me back!" He pleaded looking at me with more fear than before.

"Woah calm down I won't take you back. Come on with me to my ship. I'll take you to my home okay?" I held up my hands to calm him as he nodded. I then hear a clucking. I turn and see my chicken walking off the ship. "Turn your feathered behind around and get back on that ship." I tell it as I heard a bit of giggling. I look back at the kid and smile. "Come on kid let's go introduce you to my family." I say picking the kid up and carried him to my ship.

"Why is your face metal?" The kid asked.

"Because I thought it would be cool to come back as a robot." I told him as he stared in awe.

"That's cooool!" He said making me laugh.

"What's your name kiddo?" I asked.

"Fucker." I stopped in my tracks and looked at the kid. "At least that's what my family called me."

"Well then you need a new name huh?" I say wanting to shoot this family. "How bout....... Nathen?"

"I love it!" He smiled and hugged my neck since I was carrying him in my arms. "Thank you."

"No problem. I'm Cayde by the way." I said as I got to the cock pit of my ship.

"That's a cooool name!" Nathen said happily. He then started to stare at everything in the ship with amazement.

"Nathen can I ask you something?" I looked at him as I set him in the chair next to the pilot seat. He nodded looking at me. "How did your family treat you?" He looked down sadly.

"They hurt me." He said quietly. I kneel down and hug him as he hugged back. "You promise not to take me back?"

"Pinky promise." He smiled widely and we held our pinkies together shaking them. "Now strap in. We're going to the tower." He looked at me weirdly before he put his seat belt on. I pulled up a giant star map choosing Earth as my Destination. Nathen watched in awe as I selected Earth, The Tower. "When we get there kid I need you to stay by me as much as possible okay." He nodded as my ship started its launch sequence.

Tai pov.

"WAKE UP RIGHT NOW FUCKER!" I yelled banging on the little Fucker door. After awhile I kicked it open and saw it completely empty. "Oh fuck......"
