This isn’t a fanfic okay? Nor does it have any relation to DotA. This story has two reasons why it’s made:
1. For a test to me, if i can bring emotions out
2. As there is a message there. Try to decode it after reading!
OH YEAH, Make sure you read in a silent place, as the story hopefully become moody.
PS. I haven’t re-read the story, so I may do a remake when I feel it didn’t brought emotions ^^ Have fun! Or maybe have sad? o_0

Redemption
Everyday is a normal day. I wake up, finding myself alone, with cold food on the kitchen table. The school bus arrives at the usual time, and the flying papers were thrown to me as everyday it is. In class, I would be on the corner and silently wishing the day would end quickly. The bullies would make fun and humiliate me, obviously envious of my ability to answer almost all questions that the teacher may ask. At break times, I would be alone eating, or sometimes with the bullies eating my food. After school, I would be on the bus on the way home, while the others still throwing me pieces of paper, doing everything to annoy me. All their efforts are wasted, with not even a smirk from me. When I arrive at home, I would be alone as usual. I would then order from a restaurant for my dinner. This was my everyday life.
But living through that, it wasn’t easy. I’ve hid all the pain, after those 15 years. I’ve hid the sadness, the fact of no one around to comfort me, not even my parents were around. My smarts was only wasted, as I didn’t have any motivation to use it. My parents doesn’t seem to care, I didn’t had any friends to play with since my first day at school. Most of my classmates would just annoy me everyday.
I finally decided to end everything. I feared death, not knowing what would be after it. But all these torment, I decided to face death now. After the everyday torment I always felt, I ran to the kitchen, and took out a knife. My mind was still thinking the other way, but after a few minutes of spending my time thinking, I decided to do it. I held the knife near my chest, ready to thrust it in me. I took a long breath, my final breath. I finally pressed on, as I fell down. The pain was rather quick; it really didn’t felt a thing.
I woke up and noticed a cute girl, somewhere probably 14 yrs. old. She had a bright, long and energetic red hair. Her skin was rather bright. The girl went near me, telling me comforting words. "Hey, let’s go! The sanctuary is waiting!" the girl told me. Without any hesitation, the girl pulled my arms, as we ran outside my old house.
"Here we are!" the girl said with a cheerful voice. In front of me, was a rather small house. The girl opened the door and pulled me in. I looked around, and it seemed weird. The house from the outside was rather old and small, while inside was a big house, with very attractive design. I felt excitement in me, something that I’ve never felt.
The girl pulled me to the back of the house. She opened the door, leading me in. Inside was a small field, rather complete including grass. There was a small dog there, and the girl quickly ran towards it. She hugged it, and they played for a while. The girl then, decided to throw a stick, for the dog to fetch. The girl threw the stick with all her might… or too much. She then fell over, due to the high force she used. She fell in a small pool of mud, with the side of there face first. It was rather a funny moment, I couldn’t help laugh, which was the first time I did it, as nothing was funny in my past life.
I stood up, and helped her up, although it seemed that my body was controlling itself, as I didn’t order it to move. The girl, while holding my hand, pulled me into the mud. She gave a laugh and smiled at me. I smiled back at her, although I didn’t know what I looked like when I smiled, as I never did that before. We quickly stood up, and she told me to wait here as she ran inside the house.
She then shouted from the window above, "Hey, come here!" I went inside, figuring out how to go there. As I found her, she wore a beautiful robe. "How does it look?" she asked me. She fitted in the robe very much, I gave out a smile and nodded a bit, signaling that looked good, where I was never asked for my opinion before. "Go ahead!" she then said, while pointing to the nearby door, which leads to the bathroom. Without any hesitation, I decided to take a bath. The girl then went out of the room, probably went down the house.
After that lovely bath, I saw the clothes I used earlier, cleaned. It was rather mysterious, but I decided to find the girl. I saw her downstairs, cooking. "Hey you’re done? Sit there for a while, dinner would be served soon!" she told me. I felt a funny feeling, as it was the first time I felt someone looking out.
She finished cooking, and me ate together. Her cooking was quite good, although I wasn’t sure if it was that good, because I’ve never tasted a fresh and home cooked food. "How did it taste?" she asked me. I thought to myself, that I was rather shy to her, but thinking that she would be with me the rest of eternity, I decided to become more open to her. "It was… rather delicious." I told her. "Thanks!" she told me with another smile.
I was rather tired, "Do you want to take a rest?" the girl said as she noticed me tired. "Ok.." I replied. She took me upstairs again, and pulled me in a room. "Here! Sleep here!" she told me. Inside the room was rather a big and looked comfortable bed, and the usual cabinets and drawers inside a room. Beside the bed was a wooden chair. "Well? Go ahead!" she said to me. I was feeling quite shy, but the girl then pushed me in the bed. "Ok! Since it’s your first night here, you might be feeling alone and frightened. I’ll accompany you till you sleep ok?" She said to me, while sitting down on the nearby chair. I felt another weird feeling inside, due to the fact that someone was caring for me. I chatted to her bit by bit, until I fully became asleep, but I was sure that she was just near.
I woke up, only to find myself on my house, lying down on the kitchen floor. I was wondering, but as soon as I remembered the girl, I quickly looked around the house. She wasn’t anywhere on sight. I went back to the kitchen, and noticed the knife I was going to use. It seemed that I didn’t killed myself, and everything about the girl was a dream. It was about 11:30 PM at that time. I decided to cook food. It was the first time that I actually did it, but it went well. The food I cooked was quite good. I noticed that I cooked quite many. My parents then came home, I offered them the food I cooked, and they seemed to have liked it. For a second there, we were quite close, as I watched them eating, while they were wondering why and chatted a bit with me.
That day was quite weird. I decided to sleep, after I volunteered to wash the dish. The sleep I felt was very relaxing, for the first time. The next day, I woke up early, even my parents weren’t still awake. I decided to make breakfast for everyone. My parents then appreciated me again. I felt really happy inside, knowing that I still have worth.
While on the way to school, no one seemed to have annoyed me. I arrived at school, but everything was weird. No one wanted to bully me there. I participated more, and decided to listen more to the lessons. It was already break time; time went fast as I didn’t felt it. During break time, I saw my bully classmates bullying a small girl. With a sudden beat on my heart, I rushed and told them to stop. They were quite shocked on what I did, and ran. The girl then, pulled my arms, running as she ran around the campus while dragging me. She stopped, as she saw her sister, it was quite fascinating that her sister was a classmate of mine. "I guess, thank you for helping my little sister…" my classmate said to me. ”Hey sis! Is he your friend? He seems to be a good guy!" the little girl said. The girl then, offered her hand for a handshake, which would probably mean that she’s accepting me. I accepted her offer to be friends, as the whole school slowly accepted me.
My life changed from the day I met the red-headed girl from my dream. She made me realize what I was missing. I was missing a role to play; she gave me a role to play. My life went on, never seeing her again. But then, I realized, that she was rather an angel, sent to Redeem me.
