I woke up and stretched feeling something on my body I raised a brow removing the covers to see my body wrapped " What" I whispered to myself, I didn't do this, I removed the bandages to see my body and bruises from yesterday were healed.

My eyes widened I heard a soft chuckle and my head shot toward the sound to see the man I yelled and back against the wall.

" EVAN, Evan are you alright" I heard Henry yell from behind my locked door, I stared at the man he held a finger up and I nodded swallowing " EVAN OPEN THE DOOR" Henry yelled pounding on the door.

I got up grabbing a shirt and putting it on and pulling my sweat pants that hung low on my hips up, his stare didn't break from me as I walked slowly towards my door I froze hand on the handle looking at him and he nodded.

I took a deep breath opening it slightly and pearing around the door " Evan are you ok" he asked in a worried tone " Y-Yeah I had a bad dream" I said looking down " Are you sure can I come in" he asked and I looked away at the man in the corner.

I returned my eyes to Henry " No I-Im not dressed" I said in a low tone " Ok are you sure nothing is wrong" he asked and I nodded my head " Ok well when you are dressed come to the yard we will start on defense" he said and I nodded.

I stared at the masked man for a moment before I took a deep breath and closing my door leaning my head on it as I locked it again turning my head.

I found nothing but the knife stuck into the wall I started to panic a small bit as I walked over removing it to find it was the knife from that night the blue shined in the light, I looked around seeing no trace of him anywhere.

I took a deep breath as I grabbed proper clothes watching over my shoulder getting dressed I was scared because this is my third time running into him and I'm not dead yet, maybe he is playing with me like a toy awaiting the moment he finally kills me.

" You alright" Henry asked putting a hand on my shoulder and I nodded my head " Yes I'm still just shaken a bit" I said and he nodding as we took a turn and started to walk, I hung my head running through thoughts in my brain.

" The park" I questioned as he walked over and sat down staring at the water and I sat down leaning against a tree " Talk to me" he said and I sighed " Evan I know you don't want to but you need to get it out" he said.

I looked down at my feet thinking of all three times I was scared but there was something deeper down that hurt me and I closed my eyes tightly " Evan come on you can talk it will be between us" Henry said putting a hand on my shoulder I opened my eyes and he removed his hand looking back at the water.

" Well we never talked about my past" I said in a low voice trying not to get worked up " No but listen when you came to town you gave us money and gave my family a home while others hurt us Evan you gave me more than I ever could have hoped for your friends treat my son like their own and your like my son and a brother to my own so don't ever feel scared to let your problems out with me" he said in a caring tone as I mentally prepared myself.

" Well I just, when I was younger a time before this all of this I was happy I had a loving family but as I grew the happiness went away my mother lost the life in her eyes as my father started drinking more he was always angry and well one night I was talking to my mom about a boy I met his name was Tom I liked him and my dad found out well he ended up throwing me out of the house" I said looking down and blinking with a tear rolled down my face.

" I was alone I was scared and hurt so I ran I ran far away from that home and I was alone a group of homeless people took me in and I felt bad they ate from the garbage of others so one night I stole from a restaurant and came home I gave them food they offered me some but I refused to eat just seeing them smile and enjoy a good meal warmed my heart" I said playing with my jacket.

" Eventually they got sick and died it hurt me so much I was so broken and so I turned to stealing and thieving from people the rich and I would slip to the homeless and poor giving them what I scavenged I didn't worry about myself because I just wanted to make others happy since my life was so wronged" I said wiping tears from my eyes.

" And well the next part I told you about, Tyler and Craig were on the run as their orphanage threatened to split them up but they refused and ran because they would rather die on the streets then go without each other they loved one another and that warmed my heart so I took them in and we cared for each other for once I was happy" I said smiling at the memory of that night.

" And well I eventually saved money to get us a small home I would take care of the poor and them as I saved money once I had enough we ran away, away from that city and its memories to start new a happier life where we can start new and well we ended up here and when I found you it reminded me of myself protecting the ones I loved so that's why I offered you all a home plus Tyler and Craig love your son it makes them happy it also makes me happy seeing all of you happy and alive" I said staring at the ground waiting a response.

" Evan I will tell you this now, there is nothing wrong with loving the same sex I see no wrong because we don't choose who we love our hearts do and if it's the same sex then so be it I will support you and you have such a big heart so your past shouldn't matter I know it hurts but look at all the good you have done and all the people you have helped someone will come alone and treat you better but until that day they take you I am happy to call you a son" Henry said.

I smiled leaning my head against the tree and once I opened my eyes I froze I saw that mask as he was perched high in the tree he tilted his head at me I took a deep breath wondering why he would let me see him I didn't even hear him coming so why is he letting me see him now.

He nodded slightly at me and I smiled I don't know why I did but I did " Well we should get home I have to clean the yard" Henry said standing up I stood up with him and we started to walk I turned around and saw the masked man sitting in the tree watching.

I turned around and started to walk next to Henry, maybe he won't kill me or is he waiting for the right time to do so I don't know this is all confusing and scaring me.
