Born in the small port-town called Dead Coast, Rainn Crown was a small boy with black wavy shoulder-length hair with wide dark blue eyes that matched the Re’nee Sea. He walked on the beach every morning hoping to see his father’s ship sailing towards home. But, like every day he walked back home without his father’s hand on his shoulder telling him of his travels. Rainn’s mother, Essa was working in their cafe shop that was busy as usual with regular customers, other locals and tourists. Their shop is a popular tourist attraction, the family grown, picked, crushed coffee beans are loved by all. The shop is made up of four selections: a couch layout were customers that take their time to drink their coffee and relax doing other things sit there, the tables of different shapes and sizes that hold customers that want a quick drink or chat with others sitz, the small counter where the coffee is made right in front of the customers and handed to them personally from one of Rainn’s three older sister. Then, lastly is the counter where Rainn’s mother rings up the customers.

Rainn walked in a maze through the people socializing and waiting in line to get to the counter where his mother worked. Essa watched Rainn walk towards the counter and met her behind the busy counter he grabbed his apron off the hook and tied it around him. He grabs the slips of paper that have orders written and walked toward his sisters. His eldest sister, Tonya handed him a tray of coffee and slips of paper with the customers name and order fee.

Essa, although busy, silently watched her son serve the customers with a smile and kind words. She frowned at a the thought of her husband and blew out a breath of air. Night came and the Crown family was busy cleaning up the shop. When they were finished they locked everything up and put the cleaning supplies back, hung up their aprons onto the hooks and turned off the lights. Behind the counter where the cash resigner sat was a door that lend to a hallway with stairs going up to their house that lied above the “Crown’s Shop”. Essa turned the key and opened the door to their home and smiled at their empty livingroom. Essa and the girls threw themselves onto the couch. Rainn walked off to his room and closed the door behind him. Essa closed her eyes and envisioned Rainn as a baby being held in her husband’s arms, she turned her head towards her daughters that layed on top of each other on the couch and smiled, she then closed her eyes and fell asleep.

When, she woke up again it had been three hours later and she could smell dinner cooking. Rainn was in front of the stove stirring soup. She could smell the scent of bread being baked as well and her mouth watered. She wanted to get up and help her son with preparing dinner but, the soreness of her muscles told her otherwise. She knew that Rainn didn’t mind making dinner and knew about her back pain; however, she felt that she must have failed as a mother. Serving people all day in the cafe but not doing so for her family afterwards hurt her inside. Her girls were still asleep, the lights outside the windows of the city were glimmering inside the kitchen.

“Rainn do you need any help,” she asked hoarsely.
       
Rainn turned his head towards her giving her a smile, “Of course not mom, I’m fine. I’m actually almost done,” he answered.

“Yes, I’m sure but it’s always good to ask for help, you’ know.”

“I’m grateful but we’ve had a long day and I only imagine your pain right now.”

“I can bear with it.”

“I’d prefer if you didn’t. Sit and wait. I’ll serve you soon.”

Essa eyes filled with regret, she hoped that he’d ask for help for once. She was sure if she heard him ask she’d have enough energy to pull herself up and help. Looking at Rainn’s shoulder move in a circle reminded her of her husband. She remembered the times that Rainn as child around the age of four would stand on a stool and watch his father cook, his short chubby arms and legs were adorable. Her husband would explain every step, tell him every ingredient and important techniques. Rainn would laugh his baby laugh in excitement when his father called “I’m going to make dinner!” She missed those times, thinking about it now made her loathe her husband for leaving his family and that’s when a pain would fill her heart for thinking of such a thing however the hatred didn’t leave.

Today was a Saturday and dark clouds filled the sky and rain poured from them. The shop was closed on the weekends which gave Rainn the freedom to explore the shoreline and the woods that lined the side. Many of the local men wearing large red raincoats were scouring to coast’s beach for the sea’s salt deposits. This always happened when the forecast called for heavy rainfall and high tides. As the sea threw waves on the beach the men rushed to their chance of finding huge chunks of salt. Mr. Wallets an older man with a long white beard was happily walking along the splashing waves while he waved his bucket and hummed to himself. His right eye was blind with a jagged dent down the middle, a scar that began at the top of his brow through the jagged dent of his eye and continued on to his face until it ended at the bottom of his chin. Rainn walked over to him and smiled at the man’s humming and playful movements like that of a child. Mr. Wallets turned his head and smiled and continued to hum. Rainn always enjoyed this man’s insanity. He joined in with the joyful tune and copied Mr. Wallets swaying movements. They hummed until they got to the line that separated the beach and the woods.

The wood was named “Death’s Forest” and had a tree that was only natural grown on Dead Coast’s soil. “The Black Oak”, trees with huge trunks and a diameter over 50 feet, grew no leaves but blossomed black, five petal flowers that covered the branches and bark as black as coal. The grass that grew there was also black along with other plant life. However, the odd thing was that none of them were dead. Many rumors had been spread across town about these woods, saying how Xai’re himself walked there and cursed the land for it’s once beautiful and shining colors. But no one can actually say that its fact. None of the locals go in the woods they are too afraid of the unknown. Yet that didn’t stop Rainn from his curiosity about that dark forest, he attempted to investigate the ground but he always seem to get caught by someone from the town.

Is almost seemed as though the townspeople knew of his whereabouts at all times, he could not prove this notion of course, because of the lack of evidence, actually it’s more about not having any evidence to prove it. Mr. Wallets and Rainn stood there looking at the forest, watching for something to pull them in, however this did not happen. Rainn’s curiously wasn’t the only reason he wanted to go in the woods, it was a feeling, a feeling of belonging. The tree themselves seemed to call his name in agony for his arrival. The flowers felt as if they were pulling at the ground to release their roots and crawl towards Rainn in a desperate attempt to bring him into the forest with them. The grass moving hysterically for Rainn, for him to touch his feet on them, joining them in the woods of darkness.

Rainn wasn’t scared however, he questioned this sensation, wondering why he felt this way and how it felt so familiar. Mr.Wallets had be staring at Rainn, as if he himself knew of all the sensation Rainn had been feelings and understood his pain. Yes, pain. Rainn was hurting. He longed to walk the grounds, as if it was his home. His home where he was born. Like the ground itself gave birth to him. Such a strange thought.

Rainn sat down facing the forest, he stretched his legs out in front of him and leaned his head back with his eyes closed and felt the wet breeze flow through his hair and move across his face. Rainn opened his eyes to Mr. Wallets giving him a small smile of reassurance. Rainn returned the smile and raised up his hand, Mr.Wallets in return grabbed it and hoisting him up. They walked back in silence as if they waited for a call to be heard from the woods telling them that’s it time to return home.

Rainn walked to the town’s library, he searched for a book about the town’s history. Finding about five different books, Rainn sat down at one of the open tables. The town’s library wasn’t like a normal library, many of the locals gathered there for information of each other instead of books. So the place was quite loud, Rainn and the other people that came there to read didn’t mind the chaos because of how normal it had became so long ago. While Rainn was reading on the salt deposits that get washed ashore, he couldn’t help but overhear a couple of women talking.

Rainn secretly moved his eyes to find them making quick glances at him while they talked.

“He doesn’t look like Essa and Richard at all,” said one of the women sitting at the table. The woman looked to be in her mid-30’s, her hair was long and a bit of a reddish color, but she had it tied up in a large bun on the back of her head.

“Yes, I agree but, you don’t actually believe that Essa cheated did you,” questioned the other woman. This woman appeared to be a bit older and had short brown hair that frizzed to the side of her face from sweat, the library had more people walk in making the humidity horrid.

“I have no idea, I can’t say that Richard bought the child from a mistress because, I was Essa nurse and helped deliver Rainn!”

“That’s so odd then, how does he look so different, and now that I think about it. He doesn’t resumable anyone around town either,”said the older woman. She wiped her face and looked around aimlessly to further prove her point.

“That’s true! But, how can that be?”

They both looked at him and Rainn moved his eyes toward the page he had skimmed. He too began to wonder of his indifferences, he was Essa and Richard Crown’s son, but he looked nothing like them at all. His mother had thin straight blonde hair with hazel eyes, her chin wasn’t very big and she had swollen like cheeks. His father had thick, short hair that was a medium brown hair with brown eyes, he had a butt-chin, medium sized button nose and a strong jaw line.

Rainn did not share any of their features. He rested head on his arm, he started thinking of impossible reasons why he was divergent from his parents, but he knew that none of them were possible. After the library closed, Rainn slowly made his way back home. The living room was empty, the only light was coming in from the outside where the sheet light was glimmering. When Rainn closed the door, his mother’s bedroom opened and she walked towards him, pulling him in for a hug.

Rainn didn’t push her away, but he didn’t embrace her.

“Is something wrong,” she asked. ‘Something happen?”

Rainn looked at her with tears in his eyes.

“Mom, are you really my mom?”
