Charles Underhallow's Past

43 years ago,

"Charles get ready for bed" His mother screamed, " In a minute Charles yelled back, I just have to finish something " While his mother screamed at him, he continued to play with his dog, untill his mother finnaly came up to his room and tucked him into his bed. Charles looked at the flickering candle beside his bed for a while, and then rolled over in bed to look at his window, it was a windy and cold night, so the tree besides his window reflected a eerie shadow back onto the glass, Charles looked at the window for a second and then quickly rolled back over to look at the candle, he tugs at his blanket more beacuse he is obviously scared. After looking at the candle for awhile Charles hears a scratching at the window, he looks back to the window, but there is nothing there, Charles room seemed to suddenly get colder, he looks to the floor and picks up a extra blanket and throws it over himself, after throwing the blanket back over himself, there is suddenly a bang on the window, he jumps and looks at the window, and there is a withered, pale face in the window looking at him with dull lifeless eyes.

Whilst screaming for his mother and father, the withered old man comes and takes the boy from his bed, the boy screams for his mother and father, but the old man replies " They cant help you anymore " and then casts a sleep spell on the boy.

Hours later, the boy wakes up in a cave, he opens his eyes and looks around in fear to notice various bones scatter the room, and suddenly the old man appears, the old man says. " Do you know why I have taken you boy " the boy looks up in fear and says " N-no, please let me go " the old man replies, " Oh I'll let you go, in time. You dont even know your potential yet. " the boy looks up at the old man in confusion and fear and the old man says " Look around you boy soon you will learn to love what you see. " he indicates to the various bones scattered around the room. " You are a special boy Charles, and I cant let all that power you have go to waste. " Charles looks up and blinks afew times " W-what power? Im just a kid! Let me go please! " the old man replies, " As I said before, in time I will let you go, you just reek of power, and I will use that to my advantage. " The old mans hands glow red and he casts a quick spell on the boy, he coughs for a moment then indicates to the various bones around the room. " Trust me Charles, in time you will learn to love this. "
