Bloodbrothers:chapter2

When I was brought into this world of sin I cried for the light of tomorrow; with it I pray it brings me hope of a better future and with my death a new beginning; by dawn I shall rise up to a new world and unleash Hell onto my enemies and let God have pity on them…because when the time comes I will not show mercy on the battlefield. And to the ground they will meet their end, blinded by this wicked world of sin. For out the ground we were taken for the dust we are….and to the dust we shall return.

Blood Brothers Chapter2: Running late…..again

I laid there breathing hard trying to catch my breath. Never have I dreamed a dream like that where I thought I was dead. Could it be that it was more than just a dream or a sign in the future of where my life could be heading? All dreams have their meanings but I don’t like the looks of this one, the thought of it scared me. Neil…..That voice! I said in a soft whisper under my breath. I quickly looked up and saw my mom sitting at the far end of my bed. Neil get up! You’re going to be late! I looked at my clock and saw it was 6:25am. Mom it’s early in the morning and its Saturday what am I going to be late for? She rolled her eyes and looked back at me with a smile. Did you forget? You’re supposed to be meeting Franklin uptown at 6:35am. Oh crap! I said as I got out of bed. Hurry up I don’t want you leaving here without some food in your stomach. And this room better be clean before you go! She yelled while walking back down stairs. Oooook! I replied as I got ready to change my clothes. I threw on some red jogging pants, a dark blue T-shirt, a black Him hoodie with some black and blue Nike shoes then grab my wooden bat from my closet. Who knows where I’m going I might need it. Took a quick look around my room, and it was messy as usually. But I’m a fourteen year old kid what do you aspect from me? But I pick up a couple things and move most of the trash into my dresser; I’ll get to the rest of the stuff later. I went down stairs into the kitchen and seen my mother sitting at the table on the phone crying her eyes out while holding a picture of me and my other siblings. I have an 18 year old brother (Ben) the other is 12(Moses) and one sister (Miriam). I hate seeing mom cry and I didn’t know why she was but I don’t have time to ask. I’m going to be late if I don’t get out the house and meet Frank up town. Bye mom love you I said as I ran out the door. Ok sweetie be safe she replied as she dry her tears. I ran down hill with my bat hoping I was going to make it in time. Franklin and I have big plans today for the people up town and that is why we do what we do. Me and him cause trouble up town to get they’re attention. Why you ask? See up town is where all the cool, amazing, and good things are.

Where you can go shopping, eat out at restaurants, go see a movie, and have a great time. And that’s the problem, people are always too busy working and fixing uptown that they down know us downtowners need things like that too. We have broken down abandon houses, rusty parks, shootouts, crappy stores, and not enough power for our town. People downtown have to go through hell just to live in a dump like this. But the people up town don’t care. As long as troublemakers like us don’t bother them in their perfect little world. So do you get it? People who live uptown are called uptowners and people who live down town are called downtowners. Uptown is where all the good things can happen to you and downtown is where you can all ways run into trouble, for example…..Oof!

Out of nowhere I was close line by an arm as my body got flips upside down in mid-air and hit the hard ground. I heard the sound of laughter as I tried getting to my feet. Where the hell you think you’re going? Replied a voice. I looked up at the person who was walking away from me. Rainford!? I said in surprised. Good morning to you too. He said with a chuckle. I stood up and look at him. He wore a red trench coat, black pants, white gloves and black and white costume made goggles. I swear this guy look like a phantom. Rainford is one of my most hated enemy’s and most dangerous criminals in Greenville. He and I have a history of getting into fights. But the weird part is he looks a lot like me.

The only way you can tell the different between me and him is that Rainford has thicker dreadlocks then me and has them slick back on his head, he’s a little shorter than me and he talks as if his mouth is dry. Hey if you wanted another beating like last time, all you got to do is ask I said with a grin. Shut up! You little monkey! He yelled. That last fight you got lucky, but now I’m going to make sure I win this time! Look clown, I’m in a hurry so if you’re done running your mouth about a fight I won last week with not lucks but skill, you can move out my way I said back. Besides I won fair and square. You call using a school bus fair!? You could have killed me! Hey said. Heeeey I honk the horn like 4 times what else do you want from me? But I shouldn’t aspect more form a circus freak!

Rainford stood there without saying a word with an unpleasant look on his face. You’re going to regret saying those words you little monkey!!! Rainford pulled out some razor sharp throwing knifes and stood in a pose waiting for me to make a move. I stood there frozen like a frighten liitle rabbit. Only thing I can do now is stand here and think of something and think of something quick. Whats wrong? said Rainford i dont hear you running that mouth of yours. I didnt have much to say, all that was going threw my mind is how i was going to get past him and meeting up with Franklin. But still what worries me the most is how Rainford knew where i was going to be, me running into him was no accident. Tick tock Neil Tick tock replied Rainford. Im not going to wait for long, i might get bored ad play a game of bullseye. Well i hope you can hit a moving target. i said so try your best shot! I charge towards him without thinking. He waited for me to get a couple feet closer and threw the flying daggers as i thought he would. But that was no problem I quickie baseball slide underneath them and knock him over. I grab my bat off the ground and took off like a bat out of hell. Now some of you might think im a coward for running but think about it would you want to stick around with a guy who had knifes on him? didnt think so and besides if Rainford knew where to find me that means Franklin might be in some trouble too. Someone sent him to slow me down from getting up town and if its who i think it is........Franklin will need my help.....i have to warn him.
