Book 1 Chapter 2

The tiger was paralyzed for a moment, but it dropped dead on the ground. Theodore walked closer to the Fallen tiger, putting his hands on its chest. Black fog started to spread from the Beast body, it's flesh decaying as if some prehistoric creature, bones melting like candle wax. The giant hole in Theodore's throat started to heal at a visible pace, his broken bones we're being mended and reinforced.

When Theodore finished the body of the huge Beast was all gone and so was the blood. It's as if the fight was all a hallucination. Theodore got up touching his throat, " well that was traumatizing. " he thought in a jokey voice. He looked at the spot where his foe had just been slain. Shaking his head Theodore grabbed his box to return home.

' I really should train my devil fruit powers more, ' Theodore thought as he was on his way home, ' there's a lot of abilities I still can't use on reflex, ' Theodore saw his massive House up ahead, ' there's no way that tiger would of been able to tackle me and rip my throat out if I had a better grasp on my abilities.'

Theodore went into his house, greeted his parents and siblings then went up to his room. The room was quite spacious, with his bed, a nice looking dresser, and a whole lot of toys. Laying down on his bed, Theodore gazed at the ceiling, ' but what am I training for? Do I go to venture out in one piece or do I stay with my family.' Theodore lifted up his hands, staring at it. Black fog shrouded his hand for a second. After the fog disappeared his hands were now skeletal, ' a devil fruit huh, ' Theodore thought touching his throat, ' there are so many times I should have died in this world…. I wonder to what extent does my devil fruit Powers go? If someone stabbed my heart would I die? ' Theodore looked at the Box with his heart, ' well I hope I don't find out. '

After a few more thoughts, it was time for dinner. Theodore went downstairs in the dining room where the rest of his family was sitting down, " hey, theo, how was your day? " Theodore's father asked while his mother was preparing their dinner. Looking down at his plate of rice and vegetables in a bowl of meat soaked in honey barbeque gravy with cinnamon rolls as dessert. Theodore suddenly felt his stomach Rumble like thunder during the lightning storm, ' man…. That woman sure can cook. ' Theodore sat down as his mouth was watering, picking up his utensils Theodore was going to devour the meal in front of him.

His father sitting at the head of the dinner table smiled at his son, " looks good, huh theo " his father said noticing the boys grumbling stomach, "uh, yeah, dad it's making my mouth water, " Theodore's father laughed, " well, Dig Inn, honestly even after a long day of work… seeing you guys like this makes even that job Bearable, " Theodore's father said while smiling as if he's won the lottery.

Theodore looked at his new father, " I love you too Dad, " Theodore said while looking straight into his father's eyes teared and his smile got even larger, the corners of his mouth reaching all the way to the Temple of his skull, " well thank you, son, now let's eat. " Theodore's father said to everyone at the table.

Theodore does love his dad and everyone else in this family for that matter, as he didn't get to spend much time with his last. after dinner you know what you go brush your teeth and then go to sleep. After waking up, he ate breakfast, then went out to play in the woods with his siblings Adrian the third oldest, the twins Oliver and Adam, and the youngest his sister Sarah.

" hey let's play a game of freeze tag, " Oliver suggested.

" play what you want, I'm only here because Mom and Dad force me to supervise Brats, " Adrian said while walking behind the group.

" don't be like that man, we should spend all the time we have with our family, " Theodore reprimanded Adrian for dismissing such a valuable moment.

" what are you? an old person? " Adrian looked at his younger brother who always seems to be lecturing him.

' remind me of the younger me on Earth, who didn't know the value of having somebody that wants to be around you, ' Theodore thought, he shook his head, ' or maybe it's because he's just a kid. '

Adrian narrowed his eyes at Theodore " you're weird " he proceeded to ignore his siblings after that Exchange.

Adam looked annoyed with both his brothers, " can you guys just hurry up, we're starting already. "

Theodore looked at his youngest sibling Sarah " why so quiet sis, "

Sarah looked back at him, " oh nothing, I'm just happy I get to play with you all. " she smiled while gesturing to all her siblings.

Theodore laughed proud of the Innocence of his sister, " you're right we're all together except for Rye and ski. " Theodore thought about his two eldest Brothers who we're helping his parents clean the house right now.

" you're it, " suddenly everyone except Adrian who was sitting down on a Boulder ran away.

" hey…. That's not fair…. Ah whatever. " the O'Quinn siblings played for a while until they heard screaming and smoke coming from their Village.
