Ray as a child was very... Unique. He acts like a grown up despite his real age. A mother more often than a younger brother.He often reminds people about their schedule and tries to help out in cooking. Everyone was afraid and tries to tip toe around the topic of demons and the house around him.
Because he knew even at this age how cruel life was. Therefore as cruel as life is, he too is cruel to those who hurt the people he protects.
" Pfft! Loser! " A child outside mocked Carol. Carol sniffled before crying out loud. Loud enough that Ray who was inside, near the front door at that time, heard it. He went outside and frowned at the disgusting sight of the rodent childrens picking on Carol.
" Hey! Stop it! " Ray raised his voice. The people in the house haven't heard the fight due to their individual activities and hobbies.
" Aww! Is little baby gonna cry? Go run along now! " The boss mocked while his two underlings laughed.
Ray stretched out his hand to Carol before glaring at the three when he had taken a better look at how Carol's face was bruised up. They must have tripped her and threw mud at her.
" Carol... Everything's okay now. Go inside and wash your face. I'll handle this. "When Carol went inside, Ray closed the door from behind him. Ray glared at the three children before smiling like a devil he was.
" You sure like to act tough for a couple of hooligans, Huh? " Ray took a step forward and stood his ground in front of them.
" You think you're all tough just cause you have some underlings.. hm, don't you? "" Huh? Acting arrogant now are we! " The underling took a step forward and punched Ray on the cheek. Ray had to turn slightly to lessen the blow. He looked back at them while still smiling as if he was mocking them.
" You little-! "
Ray lifted his left leg and used his foot to trip the kid over. He kneeled down and used the side of his hand to smack the back of the kid's neck, the underling was immediately knocked out cold.
Ray's smile widened while he narrowed his eyes at them. The small violet glint caused by the sunlight on his ryes making it seem intimidating in front of the others who stood close enough to see it. " Did you know- " Ray casually and repeatedly show his hand touch the back of his neck as if showing an example. " If I hit you hard enough over here. You can die. "
The boss growled at him before charging forward to punch him. Ray sighed and dodged his attempt making the boss fall on all fours.
Ray kneeled down and touched the boss's hand. " I know you're still a child but... " Ray took out a fork and stabbed the child's back hand on the ground. His scream was loud. Loud enough to make his family inside freak out. Ray's lips turned to a frown before it straightened to a thin line.
" Ray!? " Emma and Norman came out. Carol pointing at Ray from inside. Gilda and the others soon followed before turning pale at the sight. Ray fiddled at the fork making the child's hand bleed. Ray stared at the blood for a moment before he pulled out the fork. He stared at the edges of the fork, seeing it still have droplets of the child's blood.
" Ray what are you— " Norman was about to speak up when Ray pulled the child's hair to look up at him.
" Listen here. You don't get to hurt my family like that okay? They've already went through shit and you adding to that isn't something I'll stand by on, okay? Even if I'm small, I can make sure I can put you in pain where you'll never ever feel safe again. Got it? "
The child nod their before crying out loudly. The underling clenched their fists about to step forward to get their friend. Ray stood up and walked over to the other. Immediately, they stepped back and back as Ray moved forward. Ray stabbed the fork on the trunk of the tree dangerously near the child's head.
