A beast in the making ⅠⅠ

“Remember son, one day I will pass. I will cease appearing from your own story. Mine will cascade down the mountain peak. Never to be recovered from the ravine. But you must understand. Your story will continue. The boundless amounts of pages seen before your very eyes. Infinite at the start, but every few chapters or so. You begin to see the endless shimmering pages begin to dwindle. That is when you begin to die, yet you must not fret. For that is when we begin to understand who we are. What we are capable of. Whether those around you will be safe. That is what I am doing for you now. Soon the sun will rise without me, just as it did for my father and I.” He uttered barely a whisper. He looked at me. A Tired man 28 years old and giving out all he can while the Tides of life kept pushing him twenty thousand leagues under the sea.

His Vibrant honey haired had switched seasons to winter. His mood reflected this fact. And his energy mirrored the rest that came before. His honey colored irises display an infinite depth. But the darkness around his eyes told me that his metronome is slowing.

“Are you going to die soon dad?” I looked towards the ground. Not knowing what else to ask. “Are you going to leave mom, me, and Lala (Claura) alone. She is only six. She needs her dad, mom needs her husband, I NEED YOU!” My megaphone of a mouth began to reverb across the soccer field.

“What if I don’t see you tomorrow?” I faced away from him and started walking towards the car. No longer caring as the hue of the world from my point of view began to take on nefarious shades of grays.

“Come son!” he Roared.” now standing proudly. Showing that this lion still had a few more scratches that he can take. He begins to direct me, his cub. “Soon I may not be here. But I want to show you this world. That even if it is not fair, there is beauty to be had. I will hang out with you all I can. While at the same time, teaching you how to be a man. Every cub must grow. Now you must become all lion.”

His memory kept playing back on me as Claura began to explain what went down.

“There had been an incident after school. Rickie, a junior below us. Had been getting bullied severely, It was especially bad the night of the party the day before the incident. Jared, the numero 2 in the group, had found his mother on OF. (She didn’t want to elaborate further) but she told me that they tried to strip him down and make him an account on the site. This led to everyone chanting Only fam. He ran from the scene and wasn’t at school all of the next day. Until after school when most of the teachers were gone. He began unloading from the gym, where most of the bullies were. The cheerleaders were meant to be there but they were thankfully held up by an excessive makeup session for the joint practice. That is where you came in.” her voice began to quiver but held. All of her joints and flesh vibrating at the retelling of the story.

“Y-y-you saved most of the cheer squad. you came running after hearing Leynie scream at the passing of Lisa, one of the cheer members. You jumped rickie and saved Leynie and the rest from getting shot. But he still unloaded five shots.” she whispered towards the end. Tracing all of the gunshot wounds that started to the left of my belly button and worked its way up to my heart. Her inquisitive eyes never once leave mine. Not even a blink. She probably thought I was about to disappear into thin air if she missed me for even a single second.

“Rickie only stopped once he unloaded into you, the only person who would ever try to be nice to him. He stopped firing and that finally gave enough time for those pussy officers to come in. they only came out of their fox holes once they heard a lack of spats and lead.” she said. She mimicked a fake bullet entering the side of her head.

I could only laugh at how dumb she acted. My younger sis always knows how to charm a room and get them to talk to her. I pulled myself together and looked at my mother. Who could only stare in horror at what she just heard. Holding my hand even tighter. She brushed her midnight black hair to the side.

“Why haven’t any of you ladies said anything to the principal or police yet? They are investigating but this could expedite it much faster.” her eyes full of disappointment towards the now panicking princess of the fam.

Claura began to tell mom “Mom! You wouldn’t understand. We had beverages and some people even had more at that party. I was going to wait a week or two so that some of them can get it out of their system.

Now my mom had steam coming out of her ears “The police will find out before then most likely! How could you be so irresponsible! When we get home…” I began to drone out the noise as we arrived at the hospital where I spent longer there than I care to admit. Paparazzi and being resurrected also played a big role in why I was out for a whole month before they gave up on finding out why my bullet wounds healed and why I even came back to life in the first place… for now.

Enough of this and that. I need to get some rest for school tomorrow. Who knows what is going to happen at school tomorrow.

[I am currently writing as you read this. Unless I am on the next chapter XD. I didn’t want to add many author comments but I feel this is Justified. In all honesty, this is the first story I have written in ages (first was fanfic, not gonna say what it was :D) but I got thrashed hard for my bad storytelling. I am hoping that this story will keep you all reading towards the edge of your seat. This story will feature adult content that you like but I have to set up characters and threads. This chapter was a little shorter but I wanted to set up the protagonist as a beast. A person who is ruthless but his heart is gold. Caring for everyone. Yet he is targeted for his priceless meat and bones. Always subjected but willing to fight the suffering that his fellow man will bestow upon him. Thank you for reading. Will try to type less of these as time passes.]
