Genos POV)
"Hey Geno guess what I was told at school today!" Fresh said with more enthusiasm then he was used too. I hated being told of all the things I was missing out in middle school. It wasn't fair I had to be home schooled, next year would have been my grade nine year, error was in grade 7 and fresh was grade 6 we where all a year apart giver or take.

"What." My words where disinterested as I stared out the window over looking out backyard that hugged against the dark alluring woods.

"So a kid heard from his parents that our neighbor hood is special." Scoffing with a non existent eyebrow raised "is it now?" Fresh only nodded unaware of my distaste for this topic.

"Apparently a lot of people always say the woods are haunted or some thing, a man can some times been seen wondering them dressed in all black! Isn't that cool bro?" Behind his glasses I knew he was just imitating being impressed because of his condition but I'll admit he is a good actor.

Shrugging I decided to entertain his idea. "Well if that's true how come we never see anything? Where the closest house to these woods." Fresh only shrugged "well we did just move here, maybe you can keep watch?" Looking back out the window the sun was starting to set causing the leafless trees to stand out against the multiple colours in the sky. "Perhaps" I muttered out scanning the tree line.

"Alright but I gotta go need to do school stuff bro" nodding with out looking at him I heard him leave the wooden boards squeaking under his weight.

Letting out a shakey sigh, it had been a while since I had gone out side, we've been living here for about three months, for the first month I actually did go and play outside with my brothers but for some reason I got really sick again, ended up in the hospital for a few weeks before being bed ridden till now.

I'll admit life if awful. Who would want a life like this.. snapping out of my thoughts when I noticed something moving outside. It was a injured animal bunny hopping on our lawn weakly. Staring at it I felt a immense amount of pity. Poor thing the back of its leg looked like it had been caught in a hunters trap.

Frowning until I saw a dark figure emerge to the edge of the forest. It can't be what fresh was... watching with curiosity and a bit of fear the figure crouched down to the injured bunny resting a hand on its head.

My mouth hung open, I wanted to call someone I probably should, but I was too stunned, the figure petted it's head gently before the animal then went limp dusting away.

Could animals dust? The cloaked figure paused for a moment before standing back up right. It had taken a moment for me to realize the figure had looked up, and that he was looking at me. And I was looking back. I felt my mouth trying to work but nothing came out as I was locked in to staring at this stranger. He was a skeleton it seemed. Even though his face was hidden he was not bulky enough to be anything else.

"gEnO" error called making me finally snap out of my trance to see my brother emerge the room, "mom says dinners ready, want me to bring it up to you?" Opening my mouth I looked back seeing the figure gone. It was like he had never been their. "GEno aRE yOu oK? dO You NeEd mOm?" Shaking my head I managed to look back hiding my concern with a half smile "no I'm okay, but I'll try and come down of your willing to help hah" error seemed unconvinced but went straight to helping me.

Was it my imagination? Perhaps, freshest story spooked me more then I thought, or I might be going stir crazy.. but anyways it's not like it matters, it's out their and I'm in here. Like I've always been and probably like I always will.
