Memory #7
I ran away from the memories, I couldn't stop, and for the next few months, I never saw Catharine and I had to rummage down to my few skills to survive the harsh jungle of society, but when it was Christmas time, I saw Catharine walking along the streets with her parents, and I leaped in joy and ran to her for a hug, and she hugged back. -

Memory #13
Today, I faced utter horror, for I found a WANTED poster hanging outside of a building, saying, "All citizens, please contact the Paris Police Department if you happen to see this man." and I was shocked, for on the picture there lay the face of The Dark Man, but the poster also read his name...Ruslan Konstantinov, "The Mauler." -

Memory #17
After Catharine had been so caring and loving towards me, she decided that I could live at her house with her family, and she had said it was okay with her parents because they don't usually welcome people of my..."stature."

Memory #18
Today was my first day of school...ever, and I went along with Catharine to her school and was taught the exact same things as she had been taught, however, I did need to go to "special courses" because I had never been given academic education before at middle school standards, but it was new, and I was afraid. -

Memory #20
After years and years of tireless fear and discouragement, I was finally adopted...by whom?...by Catharine's parents, and I could not be happier, and my dreams continued on to be ever bright.
