Loud snoring sounds were heard from over towards the kids' room. The sound seemed to come from Gumball, who slept soundly in his bed. Darwin, on the other hand, sat in his fishbowl wide awake from the pain in his legs. The cut he has filled the fishbowl with blood. The thought of the fight he had between two boys rushed at him like a drama movie. And by now, his emotions started to kick in. He had to do something and fast. The weak and tired fish stepped out of the fishbowl with water sliding down his body.

     He made his way over to the door, leaving a wet and bloody trail of footprints behind him. Slowly opening the door. Darwin walked down the stairs as fast as he could go. His mind was roaming with thoughts he couldn't get out. Leaving him in a complete mess. Now, all he had to do was just leave the house that is filled with drama and emotions that Gumball started. He had nowhere to go. Except he could try to find his family.

     He snuck all the way back upstairs to his parents' room. Quietly sneaking inside the room to locate the box that is filled with his documents that lie under his parents' bed. He pulled it out, slowly opening the case that wasn't succored enough. His Dad was probably behind this. Looking through the files, he found his birth certificate, the day he was adopted, and his family. Looking over the documents only to find nothing that important or anything about his parents. Darwin closed the box and slid it under the bed. Now he was out of the house for good. Leaving a note behind telling his family, he's going to look for his real parents.

     His hands filled with nothing but a right foot as he walked down the sidewalk, trying his best not to look back at the house he had lived in for so long. His mind is filled with the thought of running away but also knowing he's going to get it pretty bad when he comes home. Or if they find him. He had no idea how they would act or how they would handle the situation. But he had one thing on his mind. To find his real family.

     And with that, he was off.

     Nicole awoke, feeling as if something wasn't right. Something felt off, and her mother senses started to tingle. She turned towards her husband, all sound asleep and snoring like a small baby all bundled up. Something was nudging at her, telling her to check on her kids' sense there was a faint sound coming from her son's room. She scrambled to her feet, knowing she had to do something and was not in a good mood to wake up at this time of night.

     Rushing to her son's bedroom only to find Gumball sitting on the edge of his bed whimpering and no Darwin in sight. "Where's Darwin, Gumball?" She asked, slowly opening the door. "Gumball, answer me now." Her voice echoed through her sons ears. She could smell something that wasn't supposed to be in the room. The smell of blood. Her eyes widened to find the fish bowl all red and the floor with small footprints soaking the carpet with blood.

     "I don't know, he just... just disappeared." Gumball cried out, trying to say the words that his mother wanted to hear. He watched as she examined the fish bowl. Blood, blood was the smell, and a knife was next to the bowl. Her mother instincts kicked in as she rushed downstairs to the phone. Gumball followed from behind while Richard and Anise peeked out from their bedrooms, wondering what all the noise was.

     "Hey honey. Where's Darwin, and why do you have the phone?" He asked. He sat down with Anise next to him rubbing her eyes as she yawned and Gumball stood at the stairs looking at the commotion.

     "Darwin ran away, and he's bleeding out." Everyone was in shock. But soon turned towards Gumball, who stood alone. They knew the fight Gumball and Darwin were having. And soon, I realized why Darwin ran away. Gumball pushed it too far, and now, the mother has some punishments she wants to give to her child. And oh boy, will he hate not seeing his girlfriend.

     Darwin walked down a dirt road. His stomach growled out to him, screaming for food while his legs almost gave way. His throat begged for water as he licked his lips with a small gasping sound escaping. Darwin's mind roaming with thoughts of his family, friends, and his birth parents. He wanted answers. Falling to the ground only to stand up and start the long walk again; only this time, he fell screaming in pain as he got a leg cramp. Darwin looked up to see a car coming down the dirt road. He screamed and rolled off the dirt road and down a hill, leading him into water.

     Looking back up at the mysterious car as it stopped. A young female walked out looking at him. "Down here, mother." She yelled, running down the hill. As she got closer to Darwin, Darwin got further from her. Her brown hair flowed in the wind as she pushed down her red shirt and dusted off dirt on her dark blue pants while her red shoes had mud and dirt on. She leaned forward just a little with both arms extended out as she tried to signal to the young boy she meant no harm.

     "Oh, the poor thing might be lost." Her mother said.

     "Zoe, go get a blanket." Her mother said her name. Darwin crawled on shore. He looked up at Zoe, who wrapped him in a blanket. For once, he felt safe and loved knowing that a family cared about him. At that moment of final embrace and being taken into a stranger's car, (Plz do not walk into a stranger's car kids.) Darwin was free to live a brand new life but also terrified sense he knew nothing about these people.

     It's a new world for Darwin and a new life to live.
