"This story ends the same way it started," Marlin said. "I was alone, wandering the streets of Paris… My mother was a whore in a whorehouse… she left me some years prior."

(8 years ago)

"Please Mister" Marlin pleaded. He was on the side of a street corner, begging a baker for a slice of bread. "I haven't eaten in 3 days! Please just one pieceof bread!" He begged.

"Get out of my face you Fatherless fuck! You're scaring all my business away!" The baker yelled at him

"Can I get a piece of bread?" A woman asked the baker.

"My my you are quite the beauty!" The baker said turning around "Here have a free slice on me!" He said extending her the bread.

"Why thank you! Would you mind getting me your freshest slice! I want the biggest longest freshest bread you have! I can't tell you how excited I get when a man serves me fresh bread" She said seductively.

"Coming right up!" The baker said. He turned his back to Marlin leaving his rolls of bread behind him unguarded.

Marlin drooled over the rolls, dying to take one of the carts.

"How's this one!" The baker said handing the woman a roll. "Bigger! I want it Bigger!"

"Yes Mam!" He said once again digging through his bread pile. He was really far away from the bread now, Marlin would surely get it if he tried.

Marlin raised his hands over the bread inches away from its savory softness.

"I…. I can't, " Marlin thought, dropping his hands. "I'm just a coward!"

Marlin ran away, returning to the alley he lived in.

"It's not fair!" He cried as tears filled his eyes.

"Here child, take this." A woman said offering him a slice of bread.

She was extremely beautiful. Seemingly in her mid twenties, she had the lustful looks of any women of that age. With beautiful dark eyes and black hair that somehow had a sparkle to them, her fair skin and dark beauty was captivating to an uncanny degree. What truly made her special however was her style. She wore a black hat over her head that had a black veil dropping from it, partially covering her face. Her dark lipstick and eyeliner matched beautifully, highlighting her features.

"There there," She said patting Marlin on the head as he ate. "it's ok child"

"Thanks Miss" Marlin said cheerfully

"How would you like to never go hungry again?" She asked.

"I would love that Miss!" Marlin said tearing up.

"A ta santé!" A bar of drunk men applauded as Marlin was escorted by the woman.

"What's this? Another baby you had on the side?" A man with white hair laughed at her.

"Very funny Lindor, you're not still heartbroken over our breakup are you?" She said, making a face at him.

"Hmph! I'm doing just fine! I've had nearly 10 women this week!" Lindor pompously touted.

"That's not bad," The woman said. "Now, how many of these women had vaginas?" She gagged.

"AAHAHAHAHAH!!!" The bar laughed at Lindor.

"Very funny" He said callously.

"Felicia" A large man with a huge mug of beer in his hand said. He was sitting in a large chair at the top of the bar.

"What use do thieves have for a child like this?" He asked. "I heard the child wet his pants when he first met Varen, what use do we have for someone like that?"

"Varen has skulls hanging from his neck! And even a mother couldn't love that face! But that's beside the point" Felicia said waving her hand. "This place has gotten really dirty! We'll train this boy to clean up after our messes!

"He very well! I see no problem with that" The man said. "But Felecia, why did you choose this child?"

"Because he is an honest child," She said rubbing his head. "If we don't take him in hell die of selflessness."

"I see," The man said, scratching his head. "Very well but he's Your responsibility!" The man said

"Leonard!" Lindor cried out. "When did we become a foster home?" Lindor asked.

"The moment we started taking you to Lindor!" Leonard laughed.

"HAHAHAH!!!!" The bar laughed.

"Remember that?" A man with a hook for a hand laughed. "Please Leonard, allow me to pay of my debts!"

"HAHAHA!!!! That was good!" Felicia laughed.

"Just you wait!" Lindor yelled "One day I'll have my own Band of thieves! Just you wait!"

"You may very well do that." Leonard said. "But never forget Lindor, it is those who are abandoned who are the best soldiers! Because they have nothing to lose! You should know this better than anyone!"

"Sounds like you had a great family, what happened?" Jmi asked. "It was good for many years until one day… Lindor did something horrible." Marlin said

(2 years ago)

"Few! These guys really went crazy today!" Marlin said shaking his head.

He was cleaning the floors on a Saturday night as usual, when a young girl walked into the den. Her black hair was long and fell down to her back. From the looks of it, she was most likely from an eastern country. She was no older than 18 and was dressed very sexily, exposing nearly all of her skin through her lingerie.

"Is Lindor here?" She asked.

"Yeh, he's the 4th door on the 3rd floor.... are you... here for him?" Marlin asked nervously.

"Yeah, but I don't want to be…" The girl said, sighing.

"Then why do it at all? Why not just be with someone you want to be with?" He siad.

"Because… my baby is hungry… and I need the money" The girl said. "I have to do what I can for him… He cannot make it alone" She said sighing.

"Jessy! Your wolf is waiting for you!!!" Lindor called from above "AWoooooo!"

"I'm sorry" The girl said walking away.

"Wait" Marlin said stopping her.

"What is it?"

"My name is Marlin, its niece to meet you Jessy" Marlin said

"It's Jessica" She said smiling "Jessy is what that pig calls me.

"It's always the sweet women who end up as slaves to these animals!" Jimi growled "What happened next?"

"After a few minutes Jessica came running downstairs. She said something had happened with Lindor"

(2 years ago)

"Jessica, where are you going?" Marlin asked as she ran out of the room.

"It was horrible!" Jessica said running gout of the room. "He's a monster!"

"Jessica! Get back here you whore!" Lindor said running down the steps after her.

"Lindor please! Let her be!" Marlin said trying to stop him

"Stay out of this!" Lindor yelled smacking Marlin across the face.

"Lindor!" Marlin yelled
