This imagine was inspired by the Korean movie "A Werewolf Boy". I love this movie so much :)

"Honey, be careful! Wait, wait! This is heavy, don't touch it!" your mother said, running to you. She tried to grab the box from your hands
"I'm fine mom... it's not that heavy." but you won't let her, instead continued carrying it into the house.

Every time your mother would do things like that, you'd get mad and feel worthless. However, you didn't have the power to think about that right now. You had so much work to do. 

You didn't want to move into this house in the first place but since your doctor insisted, there was no choice!

"No, no it's ok!"
"But it's heavy, I wanna help you!" you hard your mother say to one of the neighbors.  
"You have enough work to do.. please let me help! And let's not forget that neighbors should look after each other!"
"Yes, yes, you're right. Thank you!" their faces were covered in smiles and you felt like throwing up. All those smiles and courtesy made you sick to your bones. World was cruel, why did they have to pretend it wasn't?

You returned to the truck to take another box.

"Hey, young man, could you give us a hand here? This is heavy!" your neighbor said to your "future husband" Eric. He, your mom, and another woman who was one of the 3 neighbors, were trying to lift a commode. Nick, took off his sunglasses, gave them a look and ignored them. You were walking on the path towards the house with another box. He tried to start a conversation.

"So, YN.. do you like the place?" but you ignored him by picking up speed.

You couldn't stand this man and didn't know how you've managed to be friends with him ever since childhood! Well, you did know.

You father and his were business partners. They had big company so the families were friends. You used to meet very often and this begun when you and Nick were only 5 years old. You've become very good friends and ever since, have decided to get married when you grew up. The only problem was that Eric has changed. He wasn't the same person. He did drugs, drunk alcohol, turned into a hooligan, had bad friends and didn't respect people at all, especially women.

You were going to tell him everything between you was over but when your father died 2 years ago, his share of the company went into Nick's father's hands. You didn't know how that happened because you knew your father well and there was no way he would give his share to someone else and not his family. Nick's family cheated and stole your money but unfortunately there was nothing you could do to prove it in court. They were very smart and covered things and contracts up so well.

Ever since, your mother has been preventing you from telling Nick how you really felt about him because his family was helping you financially. They were paying your doctor's bills, provided food to your entire family and found you this place.

After your family and the neighbors had finished transferring the boxes and stuff into the house, you all sat around the table for dinner. They helped you move in so your mother felt she should treat them well with delicious food.

"If it wasn't for your help, it would have taken us eternity!" your mom said covered in smiles, bringing more plates to the table then sat down on her chair.
"Don't mention it!"
"It was nothing! We're glad to help!"
"Please, help your selves!" your mom said.
"Thank you!"
"I have to go greet the other neighbors too!"
"But this is the whole village! It's only the 3 of us!" the woman said while chewing her food. You tried taking some sauce from the bowl but all of a sudden, three other spoons dug in, leaving no place for yours.
"Yes, yes. The village is small only few houses! That's why we try to be friendly and look out for each other!" the man said, then, wiped away the food that was dripping from his mouth. You wished they would keep their mouths shut when eating.
"We're so glad that you moved in.. Before you.. there was this weird man here!"
"Yes, yes" the man begun "We never got to meet him. I've been here for 5 years and this is the first time I get to see the house inside!"
"A weird man?" your mom asked. "What do you mean by that?"
"Well.." the man coughed, causing food from his mouth to spill all over the table. You lost your appetite. "He kept things to himself, he didn't speak to others and died of heart attack!"
"In the barn outside" the woman added "he used to keep coyotes or wolves of some kind!"
"What really? Why would he do that.." your mom hardly believed it "F-for the meat?" she asked.
"No.. he did some kind of experiments on them.. or so we've heard."
"So, where's your husband?" one of them asked, changing the topic.
"He passed away 2 years ago. I'm sorry I didn't have much time for cooking but I hope you like the food!" she quickly changed the topic. The death of your father was a sensitive topic.
"Ohhh I see! It's very nice, very tasty!"
"Honey, " the man turned to you, showing his empty bowl "can I have some more soup?"
"Of course." you got up and went into the kitchen to pour soup. While doing so you heard them talking
"So where are the kids going to school? The younger ones will go to XY school but what about the older one?" meaning you.
"YN doesn't go to school." you hated when people would ask about you "I like this place very much, there's plenty of fresh air and green fields!" she changed the topic again. You brought the soup to the man, placing it on the table and said
"Mom, I forgot something outside, I'll go get it." you just wanted to leave.
"Ok but don't be too long, it's chilly outside!" you ignored her words and went out.

Author's POV

"We can't really afford this place but we had to move because of YN... Her doctor insisted." YN's mother said with sadness in her voice.
"What's wrong with her?"
"It's her lungs..." she patted her chest "She studies home for her diploma because she can't go to school.. Ahhhh..." she sighed "I can't remember the last time I saw a smile on her face!"
"And she has no friends too!" YN's little sister said.
"Honey! Don't talk like that!" her mom replied.

Your POV

You looked at the sky. It was clear and full of stars that shined above your head. You put your hands in your pockets because the air was cold.

You were thinking about this house and weren't happy at all that you've left the city to come to live here, in the middle of nowhere. There were only few neighbors around! What kind of a village was that! It was all because of your lungs... Sometimes, or rather most of the time you'd hate yourself for being ill and helpless. Why'd ask yourself 'Why me?'

You went over to the car and opened the door. Your guitar was there and you grabbed it.

When you were younger, you used to play and sing a lot because it brought joy to you but lately, things have changed and you stopped. Your illness became even worse and you felt depressed, completely ignoring the guitar. You even forgot that it existed, you remembered now when you had to move in and pack your things so you found it in the basement of your old house in LA.

Your body froze so you decided to return inside the house.

3 hours later

The guests have left, you helped your mom clean up and do the dishes in the kitchen.

"How is the smell, honey?" she asked while tugging you in.
"Terrible..." you couldn't stand smells and dusts because of your lungs.
"Tomorrow, I'll give this place a thorough scrub down!" she yawned "But right now I feel so tired..."
"Go get some rest."
"I think I will honey... Did you take your medicine?"
"Yes, mom..." you said from under the blanket.
"I'll leave the window open so that you'd get fresh air. Now" she leaned down and kissed your cheek "goodnight, baby!"
"Goodnight." she turned off the lamp and left you alone in the room, closing the door behind.

Finally alone. You turned on the night lamp, lifted your mattress to pull out your diary. You opened it and begin writing.

That became a habit of yours. You've had that diary for almost a year now and loved writing things inside. Well, they were mostly sad... you felt helpless, weak and useless because of your lungs. You couldn't really tell your siblings about your feelings so wiring it down on a paper gave you a sense of relief.

You thought you heard something! It seemed it came from outside. You looked at the open window but there was nothing. Maybe it was only your imagination, after all it was a new house, so you returned back to writing in your diary but after like 30 seconds, you heard it again. You immediately jumped out of bed and slowly approached the window. Then all of a sudden, you thought you saw something moving outside! You got really scared and run out of your room, going to your sister's, because her room was the closest to yours.

You shook her body, saying

"YSN wake up wake up! There's someone outside!" she opened her eyes, sat in bed and yelled
"MOM YN WON'T LET ME SLEEP!" then laid back down and covered her head with the blanket.

Great. Your own sister has just ignored you in the most terrible way.

You walked up to your mom's room and cracked the door open to hear her snore buried in a deep slumber. 

You grabbed the lantern from the table in the living room and went outside.

There was nobody in the garden maybe it really was your imagination... but you heard it twice! How can it not be real! Then you saw the barn and thought it was a great place to hide if you were a robber.

You knew you shouldn't do what you were about to do but your curiosity was way bigger than your brain. Do you know the feeling when there was something you were strictly forbidden to do and you knew doing it was very wrong but you just couldn't control yourself.. It seems the barn was whispering to you

"Come inside me! Open me! Open me now!" how could you just resist? Besides, no one cared about you so it didn't matter if you lived or died.

You slowly approached it and opened its door. Good thing you had a lantern in your right hand because it was dark inside.

On the left and right side, were the places where the horses used to be once and at the end of the long barn was a door. You couldn't help but think what was behind it? You very slowly begun approaching it. It was probably empty since the door was short and there was space between it and the floor, so you could see it was dark inside. No robber would hide in there besides it stunk so bad, you covered your mouth with your free hand!

You decided to head back in the house. It was cold, there was nobody and you wanted to go to bed. You begun leaving but then heard a sound. Your eyes quickly looked at the door. You were one hundred percent sure the noise came from inside!

The smart side of you was screaming in your head "HEAD BACK! DON'T GO IN THERE!" but you'd never listen to it.

You slowly opened the door and saw a pair of eyes glistening in the darkness. Whatever that thing was, it was sitting on the ground like dog and his eyes looked like the ones of a wolf. You could hear it breath heavy and growl at you.

You freaked out. The strength in your whole body disappeared in the air and you dropped the lantern on the floor.

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" you screamed as loud as you could and the thing in front of you growled louder and jumped with such a force that it pushed your weak body on the ground and you fell down. It run out of the barn and you had completely lost sight of it. What was that? Why was it in the barn and where did it go to?

Next thing you knew, your mother, sister and brother came running inside the barn.

"HONEY ARE YOU OK? WHAT HAPPENED? JESUS LORD, YN, ARE YOU ALRIGHT?!"

Next day

First night at this place was terrible. After that little accident you had last night in the barn, your brother and sister have been making fun of you all the time, saying you were making up stories to get everybody's attention. But you knew, what you saw was real and it was probably hiding somewhere in the forest that started behind your house, waiting for the night to fall and come out again.

You mom believed you a little more than your brother and sister. She said it was probably a lost dog but that thing seemed too big for a dog, maybe a wolf? Whatever it was, you hoped you will never run into it again!

However, you were hanging the clean sheets outside in the front garden on the cord while your mom talked to the neighbors. The man and one of the women, you never caught their names, came to pay you a visit and see how the first day here was going.

"Oh thank you so much but you shouldn't have, really!" your mom said as she received a small basket with boiled potatoes from the woman.
"Please, YMN, we're neighbors after all! And I boiled so many potatoes early in the morning that I decided... maybe our neighbors would want some too, so why not! Please enjoy!" 
"Thank you so much, really!" your mother gently bowed down to them to show them how grateful she was.
"So everything's been fine?" the man asked.
"Yes.. well, last night.." oh please God don't let her tell them about last night's disaster! "we had a little problem in the barn with YN.."
"Oh my! Is she ok?" both of them looked at you and you bowed your head to greet them, then quickly hid behind the big sheets.
"Thank God she is! I think there is a lost dog around here.. could it be some of yours?"
"No, we don't have dogs.. there are no dogs around here so..."

Your brain stopped hearing their words for its attention has been caught by something else.

You looked in the distance and you thought you saw something moving between the house and trees. You looked again and there was definitely something. Your mom came.

"The neighbors are such a nice people, look at what the-"
"Mom!" you grabbed her hand.
"What is it dear?"
"There's something moving right over there!" you pointed and she saw it too.
"Oh God! Is that what you saw last night?"
"I don't know, could be..."
"Wait here, honey!" she placed the basket with potatoes on the table and grabbed the broom that was resting against it.

She took few steps closer to the thing.

"Mom what are you doing!" you got scared.
"It's okay honey..."

She pointed the broom against it, trying to make it come out. You saw it moving in the trees.

"Come out!" she yelled and pretended to throw the broom at it. Its reaction was to step backwards. Whatever this thing was, it was scared just like you. Your mom got it and threw the broom on the ground. She raised her hand and waved it in a 'come' sigh and

"Come here! Come now! It's ok you can come to us!" her voice became soft.

The thing slowly begun to come out from the trees and bushes. First thing you saw was its hand.. they were human hands and very big ones. Then its head, that was looking at the ground, and its shoulder followed too, afterwards, its back and legs until it completely showed itself to you. It looked at you, his eyes were filled with fear.

"It's a human!" you said out loud.

It was a young man with black curly, shoulder length hair that was a complete mess and big dark eyes that pierced through your soul. He was wearing jeans and a dark green blouse. His clothes were all dirty and ragged. So was he too. His skin wasn't white or dark, it was somewhere in between. It was hard to tell its true color for it was covered with mug, grass, leftovers from food and you could also see some scars on his neck too.

He was looking at you, his body slightly shivered. You and your mom were looking at him too in shock, not knowing what to do...Then his eyes went to the big filled with potatoes basket on the table. You mother slowly pointed at them and said

"D-Do you want some?" she walked over to the table, grabbed the basket and slowly approached him.
"Mom what are you doing?" you didn't want her to get close to... that. Whatever he was!
"It's okay, honey..." she took one potato and, keeping her distance, threw it in front of him.

He looked at her then at the potato, then back her and back at the potato when all of a sudden, he quickly grabbed it with his hand and shove it in his mouth. There were straws on the potato because it was on the ground and he didn't mind it, he didn't even think about it, he just ate it all in less then a minute! That was so disgusting to you.

"You want more?" your mom asked and begun walking towards him.
"Mom, stop, just shoo him away.. tell him to leave!" you held her by the arm to stop her.
"It's okay, dear, it's okay..." she approached him and put the basket on the ground. He quickly walked over to it on hands and knees like a dog and without any hesitation begun eating. He had no manners either. He ate like a dog, shoving the food into his mouth with his dirty hands. You also noticed his nails were long.. when was the last time he cut them? He stunk too. You had to cover you mouth.. this man needed a bath like right now!

On the bright side, he wasn't dangerous at all. He was more like scared and... strange! After a few minutes he had eaten all the potatoes in the basket.

"Why isn't he going, mom?" like he was standing there in the straws playing with the empty basket! He can't just stay here, he's gotta leave!
"I don't know, honey..."

Your mother decided to take him inside the house to which you absolutely protested but she didn't listen, and called the neighbors over here. Maybe they've seen him before and know him. However, none of them did and that's when she decided to call the police.

"Seems like he can't talk!" the woman said while all of them were staring at him. He was sitting on the floor with his back against the wall. "But I think he understand everything we're saying!"
"He's some tramp just shoo him away!" Eric said as he got up from the chair and walked over to your mother. She just ignored him and turned to the police man who was writing things in his note book. 
"What are you going to do about him?" she nervously asked.
"To be honest, lady, there isn't much we can do. They say there more than 60,000 children orphaned by the war maybe he's one of them." then the police man took a closer look at him "He looks young but definitely more than 20 years old... orphanages won't take in adolescents like him!" he waved his hand at him, approaching him even more. This must have made him feel nervous because he jumped at the police man, growling. The police man immediately backed off. "Jeez, what's wrong with him!"
"Listen, Mr. police man.. shouldn't you take him in and look into the matter!!" your mom protested.
"JUST THROW HIM OUT!" Eric jumped in again but everyone else ignored him.
"I'll see what I can do.." the police man replied "Can you look after him in the mean while?"
"What? Noo! Why should I?"
"Like I said.. there are more than 60, 000 children orphans!"

In the end, he had to remain with you until someone figured out what to do with him.

Your mom went to different institutions to try and fix things but is was useless. All they did was took her phone number and say they'll call when they've found solution to the problem which, to your opinion, wasn't gonna happen any time soon. You had to live with this weird stranger. Life sure gets easier for you!

Same night, you came downstairs for dinner. You and your sister set the table together and waited on the for your mother, which reminded you... where the heck was she??

The door of the bathroom hung open and your mom came out from there pulling the boy along with her.

"Come here, it's time for dinner!" he didn't wanna get out of the bathroom but your mom was quite strong and pulled him out. She gave him a bath!??? Because he looked clean and had fresh clothes on!! The stains in his skin were gone, his hair was clean but still wet and the curls more defined. You had to admit he looked pretty neat and... kind of handsome. "Food over there!" she pointed at the table and as soon as he saw it, he literally stormed over to the table and begun eating from everything with his hands, resembling a dog, not leaving any for you. He had absolutely no manners! He was shoving food into his mouth, not even caring to chew it properly.. sauce was dripping from his chin and hands, and when he reached to take rice or bread, the sauce from his hands was dripping all over the food, mixing everything all together. Oh man....

"Jeez... what's wrong with him?" your sister asked. You wanted to know the same thing.
"I don't know honey.." your mom replied, looking at him "He must have been.. starving?"
"I'm starving too!" your sis tried to grab a slice of bread but he quickly snatched it away from her hand and shoved the whole slice into his mouth. You couldn't take it anymore.
"What are you gonna do with him?"
"I talked to the country office today... they'll get in touch soon with solution to the problem so... "
"And until then?"
"They have a lot of connections so it shouldn't take long so... " she made the puppy dog face "how about we take care of him till then?" and gave you a big smile.
"WHAT?" now that was too much for you! This thing living in the same house as you?!!
"Only for a few days! We can't just throw him away, you know!?"

You got up and left.

"Honey! Wait!" your mom yelled behind but you didn't stop. You went inside your room and closed the door.

Your life was getting better and better every day...

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

You decided to look for your books today so that you can continue with your studying. For this purpose you were downstairs in the living room, searching through the boxes for them. You were enjoying a small piece of corn while searching.

"Honey, it will spoil your appetite!" your mom said, walking over to you.
"I'm not eating with him." he was playing with a pencil on the floor, pretending to be writing.
"I'm going to the post office but... I was wondering... are you going back to studying any time soon?"
"Yes, mom. I'm trying to find my books right now."
"Good luck with that, honey! I'm going now, see you later!" and she left.

30 minutes afterwards, you heard Eric come inside the house. Oh God... you decided to just ignore him.

"Anybody home?" he walked in without your invitation "3 women in the house and you're still unpacked... that's why you need a man in the house!" you continued searching without saying a word or looking at him. "What's he still doing he here?"
"Can you please leave now? I have to study." you decided to speak otherwise no one knew when this man will decide to leave you alone.
"What's the rush now? You know, YN, one thing I don't understand... why do you need a diploma when all you need to know is how to make me a nice dinner and" he took your hand in his "take care of me?" he still thinks he's gonna marry you...
"Let go of my hand! Don't touch me!"
"Don't be like that! I'm going to the city for a few days so.. how about a proper goodbye?" just as he was about to lean in to kiss you, "the new member" of the family got his hand and must have squeezed it really tight because the expression Eric made was the one of a man who's in great pain! "Ahhh!" then he let go of his hand and started walking towards Eric, who was slowly heading in direction front door. The boy was growling at him and Eric had a terrified expression. "What the fuck..." he tried to play the big man and approached the boy a little but he begun growling louder and Eric got scared even more. "Creep!" Without any hesitation he quickly walked out of the door.

Wow.... He scared the shit out of him!

He helped you!? He actually "saved" you from Eric's claws? He turned around, now looking completely calm, and looked at you.

"T-Thank you.." he sat down on the floor, where he was before, and got back to playing with the pencil.

That was really sweet of him.. you never thought he could do anything like that and to be honest, you were glad he was around otherwise no one knew what Eric could do to you!

However, you managed to find your books and something else too - a dog's training manual. You were not the type of person to read this kind of books but since Mr. dog- boy was staying with you for a while, you decided to try something in the morning.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The first thing you did after waking up was to scurry in the kitchen and boil some potatoes. Your mom was there too, sitting on the table and doing some paper work.

"So, mom..." you begun a conversation.
"Yes, dear?" she said with her eyes focused on the paper.
"I was wondering... where he is?"
"You mean Michael?" she was now writing things down.
"Michael?" did she give him a name?
"Yes. You father wanted that name for a son when I was pregnant with your sister. Then your sister arrived and I felt guilty it wasn't a boy even though it wasn't my fault.."
"So where is he?" you were eager to know.
"Your sister took him outside to play with the other kids. Can you believe that girl? We've just arrived here and she has already made friends with everyone, even with Michael!"

After the potatoes were done, you put your coat on and put them in your pockets.

There was a big, green meadow on the hills behind the houses and that was probably where the kids were. It was far away and you had to walk a lot to get there so you got tired and felt how your chest begun to tighten, making it difficult for you to breath. Your illness again.. you hated it.

"I called you thousand times! Why won't you answer!" you yelled at them from the distance. "I got tired of chasing you... Didn't you hear me?" you had to stop for a few minutes to catch your breath, you didn't wanna faint!

"Whatch you got in your pockets?" you sister asked, everyone looking weird at you.
"I got something for... Michael. Come here, Michael!" and he did. He knew his name! WOW!

You sat on the ground and so did he. The kids stood behind you, watching what were you gonna do. You took one potato out of your pocket and held it in your hands in front of Michael. He licked his lips at the sight of the fresh potato. Seemed like he loved eating, yet he was so slim and tall!

"Michael... when I say 'wait' don't eat but wait, ok?!" you brought the potato closer to him "Here we g-" but with the speed of the light, he snatched it from your hand and shoved it in his mouth. So much for waiting.
"What is she doing?" the kids looked at each other.
"This is boring.. let's go see the goats-" and they run off.
"Michael!" he looked at you. "When I say 'wait' you don't eat but you wait! Don't eat..." you showed him your hands "You wait, got it?!" slowly, you pulled out another potato. "Let's try one more time.." he tried to take the potato again but you managed to react really quickly and pulled your hand away from him "I said 'wait' you idiot!" he growled at you. This was the first time you noticed how beautiful his eyes were... so dark and deep like an ocean. "What? What are you gonna do!?" all of sudden, he jumped at you and begun eating the potato from your hand. "NOOO! NOO! WAIT!" You felt his teeth bite onto your little hand and screamed. He stopped and looked at your hand to see he bit you so hard that there was blood. He must have done it involuntary while trying to eat the potato but it really hurt! He jumped back away from you. You looked into his eyes and saw how scared he was. He looked like one scared animal there was also this innocence inside his eyes that you couldn't explain. He seemed so... pure.
"See what you've done! It hurt! But you did good though! You wait like this when I tell you, ok? Now when I say 'eat' you eat like this ok? Here.." you begun to slowly bring your hand over to his mouth. He was hardly keeping himself from eating the potato. "Not yet... " he licked his lips "Wait.. not yet!" he was actually waiting! That was great! "That's a good boy! Now... eat!" but he didn't. He looked at you, making you wonder, why won't he eat? "Eat!" you invited him again but he won't. "I said 'eat'!" and you shoved the potato in his mouth. "When I say 'eat' you eat like this!" he was looking at you while chewing his food. You placed your hand on his head to stroke him but he jumped in fear. "It's ok.. hold still I'm supposed to do that!" they wrote in the book that it's good to pet a dog once it's learned a new command. "Ahhh, that's a good boy, Michael! You did great!" you said while stroking his hair. "I'm not doing this because I like you.. I'm only trying to work out a way to eat with you! Now... let's try this once more!"

He actually learned! He really did! You were so happy, you couldn't believe it! And tonight when you sat down to eat dinner, with the help of your commands and learning, he did great job at the table! Your mom and siblings couldn't believe this either, they were amazed and you - proud of yourself. Maybe you could teach him more manners and stuff because it seemed he knew so little about life, however, he had the will to learn and did it incredibly fast.

You spend the next few days teaching him simple things as how to tie his shoe laces, how to use a fork or a spoon (you were still afraid to let him work with a knife), how to bring his plate to the kitchen after dinner, how to brush his teeth, how to wash his hair (which you adored, you even came up with a little hairstyle which was to tie his hair in a bunny) and how to make his bed. You even begun teaching him how to write. You wanted him to speak too and you tried to show him how to move his tongue and lips but he just couldn't. It was probably too early for talking, you wondered, did he have someone to teach him how to speak?

Each time after learning something new, he'd bring his head to your hands for you to give him his reward - the stroking. Seemed he liked that a lot. Maybe no one has ever stroked or touched him before? Maybe he's never had a family to give him love?

You've spent all this time with him and somehow.... your eyes started to see him in a different light. He had no manners, didn't know much about life but was somehow sweet, tender, caring, lovable, very gentle with you, his heart was good. Every time you'd look into his eyes, you'd forget your thoughts.. they were a dark brown color and very, very deep, warm and calm. His curls were soft and you loved playing with them.

When you two would go out to the meadow, you'd sit down to rest and he'd lay down on the grass and place his head on your lap. You liked to touch his head and hair and swirl his curls around your finger like a spiral, then stretch them and let go to just to see them bounce. He'd just lay there without moving an inch, looking at you, almost forming a smile on his face.

He was very warm. You loved touching him. He was very handsome too... but then something happened.

One day, your mom send you to the market to buy some groceries and you decided to take Michael with you. He wasn't gonna leave you alone anyway because lately he's been kind of glued to you. He'd follow you everywhere like a puppy. When you got up from the chair, he will too. When you go into the bathroom and then get out, you'd find him standing in front of the door, waiting for you. He was even sleeping on the floor in front of your bedroom door! The funny thing was that you were enjoying this, a lot. Not because it made you feel special or liked or whatever other selfish feelings there were, but because you liked his presence. He made you feel... happy. Something you haven't been in a long time.

Anyhow, when you finished with the shopping you headed back home. Since you were very tired, you decided to take another road that was going to get you home faster.

There were workers doing some kind of construction on the top of the building which was on the road. All of a sudden, you heard them scream in panic, looked up to see a huge metal column falling down, coming your way, right above your heads. Your whole body became weak and froze, the last thought that came into your mind was death. But you didn't die.

Before you knew it, Michael wrapped his arm around you and raised up his other one and caught the column, then threw it away in the distance. You heard the loud smack it made when it hit the ground, you even felt it bounce, that's how heavy the column was! And he... he caught it with only one arm???!!! Like it was a feather?

"THE COLUMN FELL DOWN!"  you heard the workers screaming from the top of the building and grabbed Michael's arm. You begun running so that they won't see the two of you.

You were in shock. You couldn't believe your eyes and froze but then managed to quickly pull yourself together and take Michael away so that now one saw. No one must know about what happened at the market! If they did, they'd take him away or something... it was just CRAZY! How could a person have this incredible strength? That was impossible....

Later you looked at his hands, but they were completely fine, not even one single scratch!

You just didn't know what to think or believe! You only wondered....

what exactly was Michael? What secrets did he hide?
