Louise’s childhood.

Sorry, this isn’t really my usual thing, but I’ve been rather down in the dumps lately so I hope you guys allow me to vent on my stuff through the use of a short story and writing Louise’s childhood in detail. Don’t worry, it won’t be too much of a tragedy for my character, Louise, is a cheerful pervert hehe ;D

Okay here goes.
All his life, Louise had been on his own. His father, whom he admired greatly, was always at work for he is a well respected law enforcer. His mother died of Leukemia when he was only a year old. He never really had anyone he can call a friend for nobody wanted to go near him. It was not because Louise has a physical defect, nor was he mentally deranged or had a sadistic tendency…. Let’s just say he had a world of his own. Louise pretty much enjoyed his own company, though sometimes he wished he could go up to the kids on the playground and play with them. It wouldn’t hurt to wish for human contact every once in a while right?

As an independent child, Louise took care of himself. He cooked his own meals, he cleaned the house, did most of the household chores and even took care of his father whenever he’d come home after a busy day of work. Louise did it all. He was quite proud of it. School, of course, was something he never forgot. He studied hard even though he would fail at Government and Mathematics. And of course as the strange fellow of the class, being bullied was inevitable. Contents of his bag tossed out the window; being called names… all of it was just cliché stuff that Louise did not bother with. He kept striving to finish his education.

Louise did try to make friends once, even had a little crush. The girl’s name was Amarita. She was a kind young girl who most of the kids adored. Along with the pretty face, she also had a good personality. Louise would always leave out small presents for her in her desk; it was just unfortunate that she thought it was another guy who left those small handmade conjured astral drops. Eventually, Louise learned that Amarita ended up with a boy named Alestar who just falsely claimed those gifts were made by him. Even so, Louise did not mind, as long as Amarita continued blooming like a delicate flower that she is.
Recently, murders and massacres became rampant across Luca. Louise was worried for his father for the old man worked straight for days and never came home for even just a wink of sleep. Little Louise would always wait by the window all night, hoping for his father’s safe return.
Police always roamed around town, along with those fellows who wore bright costumes and masks. Louise would always ask those men he saw on the streets about his father, he’d only be shoved off.
When will his father return?

And one day, he did return. Louise was relieved for that. Although the old man was sickly for being overworked, Louise immediately prepare his slippers, a copy of Lucky Lucan, and a cup of coffee in his father’s favorite mug. His father would give him a tired smile and pet his head. Almost due to his relief, Louise fell asleep while watching over his father in the study room. His father, too, fell asleep. But that served as their biggest mistake.

Louise stirred from his sleep when he felt a warm, almost too warm, sensation envelop his small body. A pained scream followed by a sickly sound of stabbing flesh reached his ears. Louise shot his blue eyes open and saw what could be the most painful thing he could witness in his young life. His small shabby house burst into flames and his father lay on the burning carpet and on a puddle of crimson liquid he assumed to be blood. Louise wanted to scream in fright, but he instead chocked and wept silently. The flamed crackled around him, his lungs suffocated with smoke and his body trembling from fright.
Is this the end?
Louise was scared. He did not want his life to end like this. Alone like he always did… he pictured himself at least dying by the side of Justice like his father did. Not as a frail child who people did not really know existed.

As he sat by his father’s burning body, Louise smiled nonchalantly. He almost felt death beckoning him to follow after his honorable father. He nearly lost consciousness when a man in a mask burst into the room. Louise stared up at the stranger weakly, almost begging the man to just leave him be. But the man scooped the child up and escaped the small house before it collapsed down on any other living thing inside it.

Louise did not know who his rescuer was, but when he came to, he was all alone. No one else left by his side, no one to live for. Most would have just killed themselves or sought revenge, but Louise decided otherwise. He decided to live on and follow his father’s path of justice. No matter how hard his life had become, he still managed to smile. He decided long ago that he would be alone all his life.
Of course, over the years as he became a member of a secret society named Corte Reale, he made a few friends. He cherished them and respected them, Louise was happy to finally have human contact. But he also knew his own curse and life decision. No matter what, he’ll always be alone, it’s better that way and that’s how the universe wanted him to be. His smile, his affection… all of it is nothing but a hollow mask he puts on just so he can experience what it’s like to be treated like a human.
Outside may be a smiling young man, eager to please, always making it a point to have people around him smile and dedicated to justice and for the greater good…. But behind the mask is that lonely child who had no one in his life but himself and wishes to stay that way for he is convinced that’s how life wanted him to be. He knew that companionship is nothing but a mere illusion and all he can ever do is to be useful for the ones who made an effort to consider him as a human being.

That’s his story. That’s his truth. Louise le Blanc.

Ahhh done. I must say, I feel better after writing this. Though I doubt anyone reached to this point… it may have been too long to read… I am sorry. I just can go back to making Louise all pervy again 8DDDD

thankyou for reading if you have ^_^
