Alex and Alice Messor are a happily married couple living in a small house in the country side, but when Alice gives birth to a healthy baby boy, she fears the baby is somehow abnormal and will kill her. She expresses her fears to her husband, who dismisses them and tries to comfort her. Their family doctor, Dr. Tomas, explains that it is not unusual for some women to experience such feelings after the birth of a child—especially in Alice's case, as she almost died of complications during delivery. Alex leaves for a business trip and is gone for a few days. On his sixth day away he receives an emergency phone call from Dr. Tomas, telling him Alice is seriously ill, Alex rushes home, and a frightened Alice tells him, "It was the baby again." She claims she got pneumonia because the baby cried all night to keep her from sleeping; she believes he is deliberately trying to weaken and kill her. One night Alex hears the baby crying and gets up to fetch milk from the kitchen. At the top of the stairs he slips on a soft object, but he manages to catch the railing and does not fall downstairs. He finds a large patchwork doll at the top of the stairs, an object he had bought for the baby as a joke. Neither he nor Alice had placed it there. He begins to wonder whether Alice is right about their child. When Alex comes home from work the next day he finds Alice dead, sprawled and broken at the bottom of the stairs. The patchwork doll lies beside her. Horrified, Alex tells Dr. Tomas about his suspicions, believing that the child was born with the awareness and intelligence of an adult but with the inherent selfishness of a baby; the child hates the mother for removing him from the womb where all his needs were attended to and hates his father as a co-conspirator. 3 years pass and Alex believes it is time to start training his son in the ways of martial arts, on the first day of training he gives his son a name and this name is Torva. For the next 9 years Torva went through hellish training under is father one that to the outside world would say is torture, but somehow Torva managed to excel through training which made Alex fear what might be heading his way fearing that he created a monster Alex tried to assassinate Torva in his sleep. Torva feeling that something was off made a pillow outline of himself in his bed and covered it with a blanket and slept under his bed with a knife and this wasn't a new thing for Torva he’s been sleeping like this for the past few weeks, because of the trauma of his training. Little did torva know that tonight would be the end the life that he thought was normal, Alex waited a little past midnight and crept into torvas bedroom sword in hand making his way slowly towards his bed with the light of the moon shining through the thin curtains. As Alex stood next to Torva's bedside looking down at the human imprint that he thought was his son silhouette lifted his hands above his head sword pointed downward and thrusted the Sword Down Center Mass, the sword went through the pillows in the blanket and continued through the mattress penetrating Torva’s right shoulder has he lies underneath. Torva now being startled awake buy a blade piercing shoulder covered his mouth with his left hand trying to be quiet, once Alex lifted his sword she noticed that only the bottom the sword had blood on it Torva took the opportunity to grab his knife and slashed at the ankles of the person that tried to kill him and with this Alex fell back onto the floor and Corva dashed from under the bed holding the knife to his father's throat. Torva look Alex in the eye and said “Why did you try take my life after all you taught me after all the time you spent with me why not just kill me when I was younger why wait until now". Alex let go of the sword and said" I created a monster in you and this was supposed to be Revenge for your mother now end me so I may join her…...Do what you were born to do". And with this Torva inserted the blade into his father's throat, and Torva Laughing to himself said" and with this your chapter ending how it was supposed to but there is still one more that needs to follow". Torva gets up cleans himself off and calls for Dr. Tomas come to the house hours pass and Dr. Tomas finally shows up at the house but the door is already open he walks in and looks around but everything seems normal calls out for Alex and received no answer then he calls out for Torva and also gets no response but then he notices a light from Alex's study as he approaches his heart races fearing the worst opens the door to see torva sitting looking out of the window at the Moon sitting so big and high in the sky as if it was close but yet so far away. Dr. Tomas treats Torva wounds and says You must not come back here and forget that we even existed because if not I will have to come looking for you and we both know how that ends when my family has to come looking, dr. Tomas it's up pack some things and hurries to leave yelling back that the family will not have to worry about him telling of their existence. For the next 4 years Torva takes assassination contracts under the name Deadshot and becomes notorious in the underground known for never being seen and never leaving Witnesses.
