Michael threw clothes in a bag, he knew his father would be home soon and he also knew he'd be banging on his door soon. He threw leftover clothes across his room, he looked around and started to run around his room he moved his chair and grabbed a picture of him and his sisters, Judith and Laurie, he loved them more than anything in the world but he couldn't handle his father's abuse anymore he needed to get out. His father has already beat him to an inch of life and he knew he'd get more violent the older Michael got, today though he needed to get out, why? It's Michael's 11th birthday and his father finds the older Michael gets the more he's likely to fight back so in order to avoid that be beats Michael into submission like he did with his mom and his older sister, Judith Myers, but Michael wasn't going to be like them though, he was going to live his life and be who he wanted to be what he wanted to be. He perked up and looked at his door as he heard the front door burst open, Satan himself was home, Eric Myers, his father was home. He quickly shoved the picture in his bag "where's that boy? Where's my disgrace of a son?" Eric yelled as soon as he was inside "dad please he's just a child" after she said that Michael could hear he fall to the ground "don't you ever talk to me like that again do you hear me?" He yells at her she whimpers and curled up in a tight ball. Michael opened his window and swung his legs out "Michael" he didn't want to turn around because he knew who's voice it was, Laurie Myers his little sister, he took a deep breath and slowly looked at her and their eyes met, her light blue eyes met his dark blue eyes. He quickly looked away and jumped to the ground below his window, once on the ground he started to run away from the house he closed his eyes when he heard Laurie again "Michael" he shook his head and ran all he could do was run and get as far away from this hell house as he could. He stopped running and panted as he looked back down the road, he set himself free.

Four years later Michael dug through the garbage behind a restaurant, he thinks it was Italian but he wasn't sure frankly though he didn't care food was food. He grabbed some bread and started to eat it. He could have gone back to the boy's shelter but he didn't want to go back they would have called his parents and he'd have to go back to that demon he called father, he groaned and covered his face when a bright light shined at him suddenly he ran behind a trash can and hid he knelt down and looked at the person as he heard their footsteps, it was Sheriff Brackett, someone must have called the police when they heard him dig through the garbage. Leigh looked at him holding his flashlight "son what're you doing out here?" Michael just looked at him and gripped his bread tight he looked at it then Michael "come on son I'm taking you home" Michael looked at him and pushed the garbage in front of him and started to run away Leigh chased him and grabbed him by his arms "relax boy I meant I'm taking you to my house" he said that while he tried to wrangle Michael in. Michael eventually calmed down and looked at him pure fear was in his eyes Leigh looks at him "come on let's get you in the car" he leads him to the car and helps him inside. Michael didn't realize how cold he was until the heat from the car hit him, he held his damp hoodie and shivered Leigh put a blanket around his shoulders he kept them in the back of his car in case he found a kid on the streets "why is this kid so scared of going home?" He looked at him until he realized something, this boy was Michael Myers, the boy who escaped his father's awful abuse, like his sister Judith but little Laurie was still there but they didn't have enough evidence to put Eric Myers in jail but maybe with Michael's help they can throw him in jail and get little Laurie out of that hell. He got in and drove back to his house occasional glances at Michael to make sure he was fine "we'll get you in some warm clothes soon" Michael just shivered and closed his eyes his brown hair covered his face.

Leigh helped Michael inside the house he rubbed his arm and walked inside the house Joanne looked at him "Leigh you're home early" he looks at her "well I needed to bring someone home" she walked over and gasped seeing Michael she ran over and grab his arm bringing him to the bathroom "take a warm shower and I'll get you a nice warm meal" he slowly nods and closed the bathroom door. After an hour, he left the bathroom and walked to the kitchen and looked around, he accidently bumped into a 10-year-old girl he gulped as she fell on the ground he started to shake as Leigh walked over and looked between the two of them Michael covered his head and expected to be hit but when nothing happened he slowly opened his eyes and saw Leigh pick up the little girl and brushes off her clothes he looks at Michael as the fear drained from his ocean blue eyes "Michael this is Annie my daughter" he looks at her she smiles "hi Michael" he looks at her and waves she grabs his hand and drags him to her room he follows her she smiles making him sit on the ground he looks around before looking at the ground Annie grabs his head brushing his hair "your hair is long and tangled." He slowly nods looking at her she smiles "mom will take to get your hair cut and get you new clothes tomorrow" he slowly nods looking at her she yawns rubbing her eye Michael looked at her and laid her down on the bed covering her up, he leaned on her dresser and watched her until she fell asleep not soon after she fell asleep he was asleep holding her hand like what he use to do with Laurie when she was scared of their father. Leigh looked at them closing the door "he'll be our son Leigh" Joanne walked over he looks at her "he does deserve a nice family" she smiles "and you did want a son" she smiles walking to their room. The next day Michael woke up and rubs his eye Joanne smiles "morning Michael" she hands him a plate he takes it and looks at it and smiled for the first time in years he looked at the eggs and bacon and started to eat she smiles "time to get you a haircut and new clothes."

Michael followed Joanne around the town Joanne smiles "haircut first son" he nods walking inside the hair salon he sat down and looked at the man who walked over "so what haircut do you want?" He looks at him staying quiet he looks at Joanne "well?" She smiles telling him how to cut Michael's hair he nods cutting his hair. After a while Michael shook his head and got rid of his lose hair. He stood up and followed Joanne to a different store he walked inside looking around he grabbed a white shirt and a blue hoodie and jeans Joanne smiles "you want those?" He looks at her and nods she smiles "get changed and we'll pick up Annie" he nods smiling slightly walking to the changing room, he got changed and followed her to Annie's school he looked at the school doors as kids ran out and ran to the correct families Annie was one of the last kids' out she looks at Michael and smiled big and ran over hugging him her small arms couldn't quite get around his waist he kneeled down and hugged her she smiles climbing on his back and sat on his shoulders he looked at her and smiled standing up holding her legs, Joanne smiles and looks at them "they're like actual siblings this will work well for him." Michael looks at her Annie smiles "come on mom let's get home" she smiles "alright kids" she walks home Annie smiles looking around not use to the height that Michael had she started to pout as Michael took her off his shoulders and placed her on the ground Joanne looks at her "Annie you should do your homework" she looks at Michael and grabbed his hand "help me big brother?" Michael looked at her it's been five years since someone called him big brother and honestly he missed that, he looked at her and nodded sitting at the table helping her with her homework. Like last night he sat next to Annie's bed and leaned on the dresser Annie smiles holding his hand and got comfortable "night big brother" he rubs her head and smiles closing his eyes he started to drift to sleep. After 15 years Michael finally felt safe in a house but that wasn't going to last long once Laurie was set free into the world and ready to kill.
