Chapter 1- A New Beginning (Part 2)
Ellie's eyes widen in horror as she stares at the gun pointed straight
at her, she starts to move to get out of the masked mans view only to
hear the sound of a trigger being pulled. Ellie squeezes her eyes shut
as she hears the bang of the bullet being fired and waits for the pain
to hit her, suddenly she feels something shove into her and she falls
to the ground her eyes opening in shock. Her mouth drops open as she
takes in the scene in front of her, standing above her dropped to one
knee was Aaron clutching his shoulder blood running between his
fingers.
�You will harm no one...well I am here,� says Aaron his voice suddenly
ice cold.
The masked man laughs and raises his gun to fire another shot, Ellie
screams for Aaron to move and he does just that his entire body seeming
to blur and disappear only to reappear instantly in front of the masked
man. Aaron's hand comes up knocking the gun from the man�s hand and his
knee follows it quickly slamming into the mans chest who coughs up a
bunch of blood from the force behind Aaron's knee, putting his foot
down Aaron pivots and slams the side of his other leg into the mans
head. Ellie's eyes widen as she hears a sickening crack as the man�s
body lifts into the air and slams into the wall of the entrance, Aaron
puts his foot down again panting slightly.
Ellie moves to help only to see Aaron blur again and disappear, looking
around she finds him kneeling on the ground beside Joshua breathing
heavily, it was only than she noticed that Joshua's eyes were closed
and he was bleeding from the mouth and head...he also wasn't breathing.
�Oh my god Joshua!� shouts Ellie.
�His ribs are cracked but that's all I can tell, but being unconscious
and unable to breathe after hitting your head is bad...he needs the
hospital,� says Aaron looking up at Ellie.
�I'll call the ambulance,� says Ellie turning to run to the phone.
�Don't bother, they aren't fast enough...I'll meet you at the
hospital,� says Aaron lifting Joshua into his arms carefully.
�What are you talking about?� questions Ellie only for her eyes to
widen as Aaron blurs and disappears...
//////////////////////
A few minutes later a massive explosion of wind appears in the entrance
of the emergency ward, windows explode outwards and papers fly into the
air. Aaron steps out of the wind and towards the nurse sitting at the
secretary desk, �Get Dr. Mackenzie to room 120 tell him Aaron is here,�
says Aaron before disappearing in a blur again.
Aaron reappears in front of a large door with the number 120 blazed in
the metal plate on the door, kicking the door off its hinges Aaron runs
into the room lying Joshua down on the bed. Aaron then rips open
Joshua's shirt and runs to the side of the large room grabbing the
defib machine and beginning to charge it at the lowest charge, grabbing
the two paddles he puts some gel on them and begins to rub them
together.
Suddenly, a tall man with short white hair runs into the room spots
Aaron than spots Joshua and immediately moves into action, ripping the
paddles from Aaron's hands he rubs them a few times and begins to use
them on Joshua...For the next thirty minutes Aaron and the tall man
work effortlessly together to help Joshua until he slowly starts to
breath again and he seems to fall peacefully asleep.
�Aaron, it's been a few weeks...whose the kid?� questions the tall man.
�Joshua, he's the son of the new family I'm staying with, some robber
attacked and Joshua got hurt, I took care of the robber,� says Aaron
his voice cold.
�You've been through a lot for a kid your age Aaron, but don't forget
you are only a child,� says the tall man.
�I know Jacen...but how do we know I'm even human,� says Aaron sighing.
�We can start with the fact your bleeding and look like your about to
faint,� says Jacen.
�Oh that...I got shot protecting Ellie, the mom,� says Aaron before his
eyes roll into the back of his head and he falls to the ground,
unconscious...
/////////////////////
�He was so strong Edward, he batted the robber around like he was
nothing,�
..
�He got shot protecting you,�
..
�Joshua needs a change,�
..
�He should make a full recover...they both should,�
..
�No human could move as fast as him,�
////////////////////////////
Aaron awoke to find himself in a large hospital bed, shacking his head
Aaron looked around and examined all the monitors around him, he would
be okay all his vitals were fine. Opening his hospital gown Aaron
examined his chest and was happy to find the gunshot wound was gone and
he had healed over completely except for another small scar, he also
noticed that like normal for him in a hospital he was wearing a thick
plain white disposable diaper.
Sighing Aaron lifted himself up in the bed, and pushed the nurse
calling button on the panel beside him, a few seconds later Jacen
Mackenzie and a few nurses walked into the room. Aaron smiled and waved
at Jacen who smiled back and dismissed all the nurses before walking up
beside Aaron's bed, Jacen grinned at Aaron and pulled a small glass
container out of his pocket.
�Here's the bullet, what is this...your fifth one?� questions Jacen.
�I can't help that I keep getting attacked, at least I heal good,�
jokes Aaron with a grin.
�Yah, better than anyone I know, anyways thought I'd let you know
Joshua and his family are in room 56 they were moved so you could have
your normal room,� explains Jacen.
�How's the kid?� questions Aaron.
�He's made a full recovery but he injured his leg pretty good, he's
going to have difficulty walking normally for a while,� says Jacen
frowning.
�Normal routine?� questions Aaron.
�Yah, just don't go into the staff room this time,� answers Jacen
laughing as he walked out of the room.
Aaron chuckled quietly to himself as he swung his legs off the side of
the bed, wrapping his hospital gown tightly around himself he climbed
out of bed and out the door into the hallway. Turning he immediately
proceeded to the elevator he wanted to check on Joshua and Ellie, the
elevator arrived with a loud ding and Aaron walked in the door closing
after him. Pushing the button for floor three Aaron stood silently by
himself in the elevator as it slowly descended down the floors, the
elevator arrived on floor three with another loud ding and the door
slid open.
Aaron walked out of the elevator and turned to look down the three
hallways around him, it only took him a few seconds to figure out which
way to go and once he did he started walking down the hallway towards
room 56. Arriving in front of the door Aaron raises his hand and
knocked lightly, he heard some noises from inside and than the door
opened and a large man stood in the doorway perhaps 5' 11�. He had
medium black hair that was currently spiked in all directions, and his
bright green eyes glittered in the dim lighting of the hallway.
�Is this Joshua's room?� questions Aaron.
�Yes, who are you?� questions the tall man looking down at Aaron his
eyes seeming to pierce deep into him.
�Aaron, I'm staying with his family for the...� Ellie suddenly burst
out of the room interrupting Aaron and pushing past the tall man before
wrapping Aaron in a hard hug.
�Thank you! The doctor told me if you hadn't gotten Joshua here so fast
he cold have suffered severe mental damage from lack of oxygen,�
whispers Ellie quietly as she lets go of Aaron.
�So he's okay?� questions Aaron.
�Yes, thanks to you, but wait...are you okay?� questions Ellie.
�Yes, why wouldn't I be?� questions Aaron.
�You got shot Aaron, when you pushed me out of the way I saw the
wound!� exclaims Ellie.
�I'm fine the doctor took care of it, so is it okay if I go talk to
Joshua?� questions Aaron.
�Yes, of course go right in,� says Ellie moving aside as Aaron walks
past her into the room.
Ellie watches Aaron as he moves into the room as if nothing had ever
happened not limping or clutching his shoulder, how in the world could
someone recover so fast from a bullet wound. Ellie turned towards her
husband Edward and asked him what he thought, Edward stayed silent for
several moments before he answered with a phrase Ellie heard from him
quite often.
�His privacy should be respected, no one should be forced to reveal
things they do not wish to.�
With those words Edward turned and wandered into the room behind the
mysterious youth that was Aaron, Ellie shaking her head followed
quickly after him...
///////////////////////////////
Aaron walked into the room past Ellie and wandered over to beside
Joshua's bed and sat down in the chair nearest the monitors, leaning
back he waited for a few minutes for the fake sleeping Joshua to notice
he wasn't his parents. After about three minutes Joshua opened his eye
a tiny bit and when he saw his parents were outside the room he let out
a happy sigh and sat up in the bed, Joshua turned to look at his
monitors and his eyes widened at seeing Aaron sitting in the chair
beside him.
�Yo,� says Aaron waving his hand.
�Aaron, your okay!� exclaims Joshua.
�Of course, how are you doing?� questions Aaron.
�I'm fine, mom says that you got me here so fast that nothing had time
to affect me,� says Joshua with a grin.
Nodding Aaron rest backwards in the chair and winces as his hospital
gown falls open, Joshua stares in surprise and horror at Aaron's almost
naked body as his hospital gown falls open. Aaron's entire body was
covered in scars and cuts and he was wearing a diaper of all things,
Joshua was exited for a moment but than remembered that all hospital
people coming out of surgery had to wear a diaper well in the hospital,
Aaron probably hated wearing it.
Aaron quickly shut his hospital gown hoping that Joshua had been unable
to see anything to bad, shacking his head Aaron adjust in his seat to
make sure his gown doesn't open again. Aaron looks towards the door as
Ellie and the tall man walk into the room, Aaron nods and smiles at the
two of them. Ellie smiles back and sits in a chair on the other side of
the bed, the tall man sits down beside her.
�This isn't exactly how I wanted to do this, but why don't we all
introduce ourselves,� suggest Ellie.
�ME FIRST! My name is Syler Joshua and I'm eight-years-old, I like my
mom and dad and enjoy playing video games, I like skating and swimming
and I dislike bullies and people who are mean for no reason,� says
Joshua introducing himself.
�My name is Syler Ellie and you don't really need to know how old I am,
I like my husband Edward and my son Joshua, I also like skating but I
dislike swimming, I enjoy reading and writing,� says Ellie with a large
grin.
�My name is Syler Edward and you don't need to know my age either, I
like my wife Ellie and my son Joshua, I like swimming and not skating,
I enjoy archery and baseball,� says the newly named Edward nodding at
Aaron.
�My name is Aaron and I am fourteen-years-old, I enjoy skating,
swimming and hockey, I like reading and writing and puzzle solving, I
dislike bullies as well and I've already finished school because of all
my spar time,� says Aaron with a grin.
For the next three hours the three family members and one guest sit
together and talk about life in general, getting to know each other and
trying to bond a little. Aaron is also told the plans for the week he
is staying, they would be going swimming one day skating another and
going to the PNE on another day. He also found out that he would be
accompanying Joshua to school as a sort of personal helper, with all
his spare time at the orphanage Aaron had already finished learning up
to grade 12 level work and wouldn't need to go to school until he
decided to go to collage.
Two more hours later and the family was let out of the hospital, there
was a long drive home and then everyone went to bed...it had been a
long day...
////////////////////////
The Next Morning
Aaron climbed out of his bed in the basement of the Syler household,
taking a few breaths Aaron pulls of his nightshirt and tosses it into
the laundry hamper beside the bed. Than Aaron wanders down the hallway
into the bathroom ripping off the heavily soaked diaper from the
hospital Aaron drops it into the garbage can, he had been to lazy to
take the diaper off last night so he had just left it on and when he
needed to go in the middle of the night he had just wet the diaper.
Grabbing a cloth Aaron dampened it and wiped himself clean before
walking back down the hallway to the bedroom, grabbing a pair of
underwear Aaron quickly got dressed. A dark red t-shirt, black jeans,
silver belt and black socks were his clothing choices for today,
yawning Aaron walks down the hallway again and into the weight room he
hadn't asked permission but he was sure Edward and Ellie wouldn't mind.
Taking a few breaths and stretching Aaron sat down on the nearest
machine and began to work out...
////////////////////////
Edward splashed some more water on his face to wake himself up, after
drying his face he wandered out into the hallway and opened the last
door on the left, Joshua's big boy bedroom for when someone who didn't
know about his diapers was over. Edward glanced into the room to check
on Joshua, seeing his was sleeping fine Edward shut the door and
wandered down the hallway towards the living room. Passing the stairs
Edward stopped at the sound of something coming from downstairs, it
only too him a minute to identify it as the machines in the weight
room.
Afraid that Aaron would hurt himself Edward ran down the stairs,
through the hallway and into the weight room the sight that he saw
surprised him greatly. Aaron was on one of the machines lifting the max
amount of weight the machine could take and he didn't look strained at
all Edward stepped calmly forward and Aaron snapped his eyes open to
look at him, with smile a grin Aaron stopped lifting the bar and let it
slide back into the machine.
�Good Morning Sir, how are you?� questions Aaron.
�Perfectly fine Aaron, do you do this workout every morning?� questions
Edward.
�Yes sir,� answers Aaron with a nod.
�An impressive workout indeed,� says Edward before turning around and
leaving the room to head upstairs...
////////////////////
Aaron stared after the departing Edward with a grin on his face, Edward
hadn't mentioned anything about his ability to lift the total amount of
weight like he didn't care at all. Standing to his feet Aaron wiped his
forehead with a cloth and headed upstairs to the sounds of breakfast
cooking, by the smell it must be some type of bacon and eggs.
Aaron climbed the stairs and stopped at the top at the end of the
hallway a sleep Joshua was rubbing his eyes sleepily, Aaron blinked a
few times to make sure he was seeing what he thought he was. There was
no doubting it Joshua was standing in the hallway in a dark blue footed
sleeper, with a small grin Aaron turned and wandered into the living
room it wasn't any of his business what Joshua wanted to wear when he
slept and Sleepers were supposed to be very comfortable.
Aaron watched form the couch in the living room as Edward left the
kitchen and wandered down the hallway, to his surprise he took Joshua
by the hand and led him into the room that Joshua had told him not to
go into. Shacking his head Aaron heard a crash in the kitchen and flung
to his feet, he than heard a shout of �It's okay I just dropped
something!� come from Ellie within the kitchen and decided to go help
her...
////////////////////
Edward walked into the nursery with behind Joshua and immediately made
his way over to the large cupboard on the right side of the room,
pulling it open and looking through it Edward watched out of the corner
of his eye as Joshua skillfully removed his footed sleeper and climbed
up onto the changing table. Grabbing some baby powder and wipes Edward
started to reach for a few cloth diapers only to stop, they were going
to PlayLand today as it was the last day of the small break Joshua had
from school that meant disposable diapers.
�What brand of disposable do you want today Joshua, we only have
Pampers or Huggies left,� says Edward without turning his head.
�Huggies,� says Joshua as he lies stomach up on the changing table.
Edward grabs the half empty bag of Huggies diapers and walks over to
the changing table, putting all the supplies down Edward reaches
forward and removes Joshua's plastic pants. Dropping them in the diaper
hamper Edward reaches forward again and unpins the diaper pins holding
Joshua's thick stack of cloth nighttime diapers in place, pulling them
out from under Joshua Edward drops them too into the diaper hamper.
Edward pulls a few wipes out of the container and begins to thoroughly
clean Joshua, once finished he disposes of the wipes and unfolds a new
thick Huggies diaper. Joshua looks a little scared that the diaper
would be so thick, he really didn't want Aaron to notice but knew that
he would need the thickness so he didn't need to be changed so often at
PlayLand. Joshua lifted himself as Edward slipped the new diaper under
him, grabbing the powder Edward quickly powdered Joshua's diaper area
and rubbed it in.
Tapping the diaper snuggly Edward helped Joshua off of the table and
onto the floor, where he immediately ran to the closet and pulled out a
pair of baggy blue shorts and a red t-shirt. Smiling Edward followed
the freshly diapered Joshua out of the room, hopefully this would be
the beginning of a better day...
