Turn Back the Pendulum

Chapter Eighty-Four: Abandoned Orphan

Note: If I don't have any homework tomorrow, which isn't fat chance that I won't, I can likely do a chapter for that day as well. Just saying; also, for those who hadn't realized, this will be the first chapter of the Turn Back the Pendulum Mini-Arc, which will cover the pasts of more than one character. Now, time for the new chapter...!

Twenty-Nine Years Previously

Almost three decades ago, years after the Great Invasion, a couple had birth to a baby in the poverty-filled Cami Islands, in the majestic Taka Seas. The baby was birthed on the back of a large car, the two were simply horrified at the sight of the nude baby.
Sickened, the couple threw the baby out; however they also pitied for the baby. Covering it with a large blanket created out of rags and setting it in a worn-out basket, the two then gave the infant a scrap of food. Setting the recently-born infant quickly in a dark alley under the cover of night, they quickly fled the scene, abandoning their baby, now an orphan, behind. Fortunately, as the couple left the scene, someone quickly arrived later. An hour or so later, an elderly woman tramped by. She had a stingy mean face, accompanied by brunette hair tied into a bun and more wrinkles then the number of fingers you have. Strict dark bole eyes stared at the young orphan wrapped in his blanket and in the old basket. The old woman wore a long-sleeved shirt along with simplistic clothes for old ladies.
Gazing steadily at the baby, she said, "You poor child," with a hint of deep sarcasm as well as amusement in her voice. Seemingly grinning wickedly in a way, the old woman slowly crouched down onto one knee. She then quickly put her hands on the cradle and lifted it. Carrying it roughly in her arms, the old lady then looked at the small infant. Her name was Kat Narita.

With a sharp glance at the alleyway, the old woman then existed the alley, carrying the asleep baby in her arms.

__________________________________________________ ________________________________

Seven and a half years has passed since then. The elderly woman had in fact been a caretaker for the local orphanage of the Cami Islands, and also had delivered the baby onto the arms of the orphanage. That particular infant was now six and a half years old.

"Y' know, I could do some more food." the older boy complained as he sat on his simple small bed, sighing in frustration. The older boy had messy, short, light blue hair, accompanied with dark tan skin and light gray eyes. He wore a worn-out gray shirt that had been passed on and on, from children to children. Under his worn-out shirt was a set of poorly-sewed pants that had likely been ripped before, but was sewed back.
"I'm pretty sure you can survive the night, Hari. Besides, we just had dinner, broski." the younger boy replied lazily, too sitting on a similar small bed. He too wore an identical outfit of the older boy named Hari. However, the younger boy instead had messy dark brown hair, along with eyes of varying colors. The two boys were in a small cell-shaped room, surrounded by walls where the paint had already peeled off. The cell-like room was occupied by several small beds; the two boys were alone.
"You know I can't, Pat. Besides, three green peas, a strawberry, and less than one-twelfth of a fried chicken leg isn't a dinner." the older boy named Hari Jackson replied, as a complaining growl from his belly then emerged. In reply, the younger boy named Pat then sighed in frustration. "Ugh, fine, here..!" he muttered, his hands searching for something in his pants' pockets. Quickly reaching out his hands from his pockets, Pat then revealed a large object, hidden by a napkin. As Hari glanced at the object in interest, Pat meanwhile was slowly unwrapping the napkin. After unwrapping the napkin and then setting it aside, Pat held up what looked like a whole fried chicken leg. "I stashed this during dinner from the kitchen."

Hari meanwhile was drooling without even noticing. As a strange glimpse in his eyes glowed at the sight of the fried chicken leg, Pat sighed and then set the chicken leg on the napkin. Slowly breaking it apart with his hands, Pat then held up one half of the fried chicken leg and then tossed it at Hari, who almost immediately caught it in return and immediately began eating it. Pat meanwhile began wiping the grease from the fried chicken leg with his napkin. He then lifted the half of his fried chicken leg to his mouth's height and then slowly began to bite it.
As Pat reached in for the first bite, he could taste the greasy aroma coming off from the fried chicken leg. As his eyes remained half opened, he then brought the fried chicken leg to his mouth.

Just as his teeth touched the chicken leg, Pat suddenly saw it whip away in a flash, replaced with the air. Surprised, he then glanced upwards, as he found himself glancing at an elderly lady.

"Well, well, look what we have." the old woman said, smiling in a dark fashion.

Turn Back the Pendulum

Chapter Eighty-Five: Punishment

Note: If I'm not too lazy, expect this chapter to be released fully by sometime tonight. However, if I am lazy, as I normally am, then this chapter should be finished either late late tonight, or tomorrow afternoon. Just a heads-up, folks. On a side-note, for people who hasn't realized it yet, Pat is Patty. Seriously, I had questions about who in the world Pat is. Anyways...!

"I knew that it was you...!" the old woman murmured to herself pleasantly, also known as Kat gazed down at the young Pat, who remained silent, seemingly glaring at her. Meanwhile, Ms.Kat's grin was broad, as if she was pleased to find Pat and Hari in trouble. As for Hari, he too remained silent, but he was fuming angrily silently. His half of Pat's fried chicken leg had been confiscated as well; however, he had managed to devour over than half of it before it was taken by the old woman.
"What do you have to say, brat?" Kat asked amusingly, her smile now disappeared although remnants remained. Pat in return shrugged. "I think...that you're a fat old lady who had no life besides for messing with adorable orphans. Also, a skunk smells better than you." As he said so, Hari, who was behind Ms.Kat, broke into a case of snicker. However, before the old woman could notice, Hari quickly stopped altogether, and then continued to steadily glare at Ms.Kat, who seemed oblivious to this fact.
Ms.Kat however, had clearly heard Pat's comment. As an expression of anger appeared on her face, Ms.Kat's hand almost immediately lashed towards at Pat. Immediately, her hand latched onto Pat's neck collar shirt, as a strange gleam glowed in her eyes. Managing to suppress a portion of her large anger, Ms.Kat gazed at Pat, who said nothing.
Ms.Kat then slowly whispered to Pat, "Listen here, you damn brat. You should be happy to have a roof over your head and foods to eat. If you were living in those damn streets down there--" The old woman then made a sharp gesture towards the unseen streets below. "--This will happen to you."
Pat then said nothing, as Ms.Kat's grip on the young boy tightened. With a sharp pull, Pat was pulled towards the old woman, whom's face was unveiling her unleashed anger. As Ms.Kat said nothing, she immediately pulled out a small knife from her pocket.
Pat's eyes widened, as his eyes glanced at the small knife in Ms.Kat's scaly-like hands. Hari meanwhile had too noticed the strange gleam of the object that Ms.Kat was holding, which bounced off from the dim light-bulb above. Now alert, he said nothing, as Hari crouched on his bed, prepared. Pat meanwhile, was paralyzed in fear. As Ms.Kat's expression abruptly changed into a broad smile for some dark reason, the knife she was grasping slowly began to move towards Pat.
Hari meanwhile was ready to pounce. However, both actions were dispelled by one single action. Now, there were four persons in the room. The fourth person had somehow appeared in the center of the scene from nowhere. Wearing a sleek black raincoat which reached down to his lower knees with the hood pulled back, along with black boots, the figure was somewhat tall. Standing with his back facing the surprised Hari, the figure's left gloved hand was steadily grasping on Kat's hand, which held the small kitchen knife. As Ms.Kat seemingly tried to shake the figure's hand off hers, her experession drastically converted into one of caution.
Reluctantly, her grip on the kitchen knife loosened, as the knife dropped, plummeting to the wooden floor below. It landed perfectly, burying itself. Meanwhile, Ms.Kat's expression quickly changed again, as she slowly turned around to face the figure holding her steadily. "Now, now, Ms.Kat." the figure then said within earshot of Ms.Kat and Pat. He had fair skin, along with somewhat spiky long red hair which reached past shoulder length. Calm azure mist eyes glanced at both Pat and Ms.Kat.

"The higher-ups, or more precisely, 'HE', wouldn't like it if you somehow injured one of our many experiments-- I mean adorable children, would 'HE'?" the man in the raincoat then said again, as it suggesting a subtle warning as well as putting a heavy emphasis on the word "He".
Pat said nothing, still paralyzed from the shock of almost getting stabbed by the old lady; meanwhile, Ms.Kat's expression was one of a mixture of caution and horror at the man's words. "I apologize, Mr.Jonathan. But these 'adorable' brats--I mean children, had defied rules." she replied after a brief moment of silent. Meanwhile, the man in the raincoat, referred to as Mr.Jonathan attempted a weak smile. "I see," he murmured, his eyes watching the silent Pat.
"I suggest you leave the punishments to me, Ms.Kat." Mr.Jonathan said with a hint of coldness in his voice. Meanwhile, Ms.Kat said nothing, her face suddenly having been drained of all its color. Now pale, she simply nodded and then left the room. As she did, the clanks of her shoes echoed across the hall, as Mr.Jonathan's eyes steadily scanned her leaving.
Meanwhile, Hari had sighed in relief. Now in a resting position, his stomach continued to growl. Mr.Jonathan then glanced at Hari sharply and then began to unzip his raincoat. Fully unzipping it, he then took out a slice of freshly baked bread and tossed it to Hari, who's expression quickly turned positive at the sight of food. Meanwhile, Pat remained silent, his face somewhat pale.

"Here, have a bite," Mr.Jonathan then suggested, holding another slice of warm, freshly-baked bread under Pat's face. Pat could smell the warm aroma of the bread, as the smell of butter slowly penetrated him. "It'll help you. Mr.Jonathan then further suggested, as the buttery aroma overwhelmed Pat. Quickly, he took the slice of bread from Mr.Jonathan's hands and began to devour it. As he did, a burp emerged behind him, signalling of Hari's slumber beginning to start.
"Uhh...thank you, Mr.Jona.." Pat mumbled as he took bites from the slice of fresh bread.

"Allen Dante Jonathan, at your service." Mr.Jonathan then replied, a smile on his face.

To be Continued..
