The Day I Meet a Hero Chapter Five
I know that these are short but they all add up in the end into about 15 Chapters told (30 of these short ones)
It took us a while to get to the next town. We had stopped and had gone swimming in the stream that we were following to WarFang. I will fill you on the details here.
Chapter Five
We got up around my guess of 11. I was the first to wake, then my sister Nicole. She was talking in her sleep.
"But I am a dragon you stupid bitch! So get off him now before I eat you!"
It sounded like she was talking to her asshole of a boyfriend Paul, who always as someone else trying to become his girlfriend. It must have been another girl that wanted to steal Paul from her. That always made me laugh. But if she tells Paul that she is a dragon, my question is would he stay with her? So many questions and only thing I can think of answer. He says no more and Nicole eats him. That would be funny to watch but weird at same moment. She looked so pretty her body lying in the now risen sun with her golden scales shining so bright. It was amazing to believe that she was my sister. To be honest, that I am one to is still very shocking.
I moved over to her. I laid my paw on her cheek. It was as if I did not even know her any more. She was now smiling.
I sneezed and she jumped up "What!?" and then looked over to me. "Sorry about that, did I wake you?"
"No, that girl that was trying to steal your man from you did." I said with a sarcastic smile.
"Oh, yeah that stupid Paul always has some else for him! I wonder if he has some one there while I am gone? He just always wants someone to be with him." sigh. "Well let's wake up the others."
"No let's not do that, let's go and get breakfast for us and bring it back."
Ok so we went out and started to talk about how we felt about being here.
"Michael, do you like being here? You know, with the rest of our family?" I had to think about that. I liked being in charge of an elite group of troops, but know when I find out most of my life was just a lie.
I know that I am here to see my brother and all, but that still doesn't answer my feeling about Earth. Sure we were at war, having to write reports and see to it that every battle was won, or kill all the enemy troops our selves. All the battles that I have fought were not for my father but my sick power craving uncle. It is very good to know that he is not my real father, but Nicole and Dave still do not know this.
That broke my heart. They still did not know who are real father was. The pain of keeping this away from them tour through my chest, into my heart. Felling that I was not even breathing. As if someone cut out my lungs as air past right through my empty chest. The pain was unimaginable. I fell to my knees. My eyes got all watered up and I could only see a blur. She noticed this.
"Michael, why are you crying? Michael you ok?" She asked and bent down to my face.
"I am so sorry! About all of this, about the things we have done. All the people that we have killed for that assholes conquest! It hurts! The pain won't go away!"
The next thing I knew she was hugging me on her knees. Crying along with me. We both felt the pain from all of the damage we have caused.
"It hurts me too!" She said. She then pulled my chin up to have eye level. She had that same feeling that is kill me. "I am so happy that we do not have to deal with that anymore!" She kissed me as we hugged even stronger now. Don't let anyone know this, but she almost broke my back! Her strength over whelmed me. But I did not let her see that. I had to show a strong role model for her. We broke off and started to get up and gather food.
Just a few minutes after that, I found six deer all eating, the perfect time to attack. I did and ended up bumping heads with Nicole. "Whew.... That really hurt! What did I hit a tree or something?" She opened her eyes to see me out cold. For just a few minutes, then I woke up. She then hit me in the face with her tail. "That was for knocking into me dufuss!" "Say what?!" "You heard me!" "Oh...sorry about that."
We shook it off and then continued to search for food. Luckily in just around five minutes we found more deer and this time worked together. We got two quickly before any of the other knew what was going on. Then we hid in the tall grass and went around the remaining deer and then took them out I got one by taking it and throwing in the air using my black head horns. Nicole took all of the remaining three deer down by knocking them into each other then quickly going in for the kill. Straight to the neck of the one on top. It fell within half a second leaving its body mass on top of the other two that stood there in fear. I saw the look in their eyes,...the fear of death. I knew that look any where after all of the people that I have killed.
I could not look. It was too depressing. But then again remembering my favorite childhood cartoon by Disney The lion King. It was the circle of life. We did what had to be done, for the others at the camp site we set up last night. It's said to admit, but when we die we turn into the grass. Just like Mufassa.
"The toughest battle is to keeping living". I remembered an old friend saying that to me. It was his final words.
He jumped out and tackled me to the ground he had taken a bullet that was meant for me into his upper chest. I pulled him up into my arms. "Stay with me! Don't you dare die on me you ass!" Stay with me! Did you hear me?! That's a direct order!"
"I will save you! Don't you worry! The medic is on his way now." "Just shut up Captain! Do me a favor, and do not let these assholes dare kill you!"
I looked down at him in shock. He was actually smiling! That was my best friend there dying right before my very own eyes. He was like a brother to me. We met in middle school. He was the only person that would actually sit with me at my launch table. Always at my side. He was my only friend.
The next thing I noticed was the sound of a bullet coming in towards me from the direction of the last bullet. And there it came, fast, in a blink of an eye. The bullet went right on through his chest killing him instantly. And there he was, dead in a puddle of his own blood with his eyes wide open. I moved closer to him.
"Alex? Alex you ok? Tell me you're alright! Please don't leave me!" "Don't leave me." No reply. I banged onto his chest, there was no heart beat. No pulse. I was crying, tears of loneliness and sadness filled my eyes up. I once again looked at him. I bent down even more now, I closed his eyes. He did that trying to save me. He was a true friend. I will never forget him. That battle was my frist loss and my last time I will ever fight for my uncle.
Ever since that dreadful night, I have never had any one step into my group. No one to replace him. No one to replace my lost friend. No one could ever replace Alex.
I snapped back into the present, I looked at Nicole with a smile on my face. "Yes, I love being here with you Dave Spyro and all the others. I couldn't be any happier if I wanted to." I had finally answered her question. We walked back with our catch and Spyro woke up due to the wonderful smell of meat, deer to be precise. We all had our fill and began talking about what we thought so far of their world. We were happy to say that we do not ever want to go back to Earth.
"So let's set out and go to the next town." We went and we were still tired after our case this morning. I felt as if my wings were burning.
"It's so damn hot out here, my scales are turning red!" I said.
"We will go to the next town and then spend the night there. After we get there it should take only a few hours to get there by flying."
"So let's hurry and get on our way before you turn into a cooked dragon!" Spyro said. "Joking! My ancestors! You need to learn how to... child out!"
They all started laughing at me but not trying to hurt my feelings. But it did not seem funny to me at all. So then I got up and pushed Spyro into the lake. That made him stop laughing and turned an evil grin.
"Hey, you better have your ass in here in the next five seconds before I through you in!" I figured that was a great idea so I smiled.
"Well that's what I wanted to do since we got up!" We all jumped in and had a splash fight. It was no doubt that at the being, it was Nicole's game. She beat us all but we didn't mind. We just enjoyed our first break ever with our new family. The best one of all time!
