supernatural fanfic (Whatpad)

When my 13 year old child decided to start writing fanfiction on whatpad she asked me to join and put something up so i decided to do a simple supernatural storyline.  Below is the first part of my story i am still to write the second but as you can guess i am pretty busy with the other writing project i have.   Oh and as usual i will be putting the links to both accounts at the bottom of this blog.

FANFIC – New dawn for the Winchesters

Sam looked to his brother he could tell Dean felt deeply for Lisa, for some reason every time he picked Ben up dean smiled He seemed to be happier. Sam hoped that his brother could be happy for once they both needed to have something good. When Dean pulled the impala into the parking spot which was hidden from every one but Ben knew where to meet them. Dean stepped from the car he waited for his son who seemed to run over to the car high fives his dad and jumps in.

“Hey uncle Sammy.” Ben greeted his uncle
“Hey my names Sam not Sammy.” Sam moaned

The sun seemed to warm up the cold winters sky, which was always something to be grateful for as the child looked out of the impala. while trees and fields whirled passed the window. Dean Winchester looked to back of the car with a smirk when he noticed the small chubby faced boy playing with the toy soldiers just like him and Sam used to when they were children years go. In some ways he hoped his son Ben even though the boy had been through lot witnessed much in his short life, Dean hoped his boy would never follow the hunters path. Just like his father once hoped for better things for the boys he hoped for better for the teen. It was something that came up in conversation between him and Lisa in-fact a promise he’d wanted to keep.

“Dad there’s talk in school something weird going down,” Ben piped up when he looked to his dad

“What’s up son?” Dean wondered what could be going on they had moved back to Lawrence for the serenity the place brought.

“Eight kids..” Ben stopped for a minute “Eight kids fell into coma’s, the doc cant work out what is going on,” Ben looked over “Jerome told his father his brother was attacked by something but they don’t believe him and he’s been sent to some psych home for disturbed kids.” Ben looked over stopped playing with the toys.

“Al right kid, calm down…hey Sammy what you doing?” Dean asked

“That sounds familiar either something in dads journal or we have seen it before? Strange coma, open windows, not being able to identify the cause? ” Sam replied then looked to the kid “you did good for telling us.” he smiled and watched Ben shrug.

“I know I’ve seen it before sounds like sghtriga but wont know for certain until we investigate Sammy.But we wont do that till we have him home with his mum or she will have my hide.” Dean looked over to Sam

“and no apple pie dad.” Ben smirked when he saw his dad pout

Sam could not help but to chuckle even he knew Lisa had not forgiven his brother or him for the times Ben had been taken by the shape shifters. When he looked back he noticed Castiel sat behind his brother and ran his hand through his hair with shake of his head.

“Will you stop appearing out of thin air Castiel.” Sam groaned”You seriously need to put him on a leash Dean.” he heard Ben chuckle.

“hey uncle Cas,” Ben smirked but noticed the family home in the distance “you know that you cant hide the supernatural from me with cas popping in like this daadddddd……….”

“BEN DON’T….” Dean growled

“BUTTTTTT……” Ben replied

“No way knowing is one thing, hunting is different, even Sammy wanted out.” Dean replied

“Well Sammyboys a wuss,” Ben replied playing his uncle up

“Oi I’m not a wuss if it was not for me this dumbfounder would be dead by now.” Sam replied even he had to admit dean was useless researching. “I just wanted to settle down do what the normal life does but got taught there’s no such thing as normal for us.”

“I have told you both before your destined for grater things, sam going to college was deviation from the plan. I’m sorry you had to go through that pain Sam.” Cas interrupted and noticed the look in Sam eyes when the car pulled up onto the drive Ben jumped out with Dean and sam. While Sam and Ben walked to the house de an looked to cas and whistled.

“Get over here, How many times do I have to tell you do not suddenly appear in the car when I’m driving especially when I have my son in the car with me Cas. I thought wed discussed this he’s not going to be a hunter, he knows its out there and how dangerous things are out there. Ben is out of bounds.” Dean growled when he noticed Lisa walk out of the house and stride toward them both then punch hard in the jaw cas. It pissed him off he could not control his own or his brothers destiny but hell would freeze over before he let Ben hunt.

“Next time you do that I will roast your angelic ass, rip the grace out of it and force it down your god-damn throat you got it?” Lisa growled glaring daggers

“I told you man Lisa is not some one to upset.” Dean stood back and tried not to smirk, when he noticed his kid sister Jael walk over “Hey sis, Sam and I have a hunt later you girls going to be al right watching the angel and kid?” Dean looked over

“Yeh, if you need us let us know.” she looked to her brother and could see John and bobby stood in the door waiting for them all when John decided to shoot at Castiel narrowly missing.

“If you wasn’t a friend of my boys I would have killed your angelic ass.” John shouted But noticed cas disappear “angels are the same as demons,” John could not see the difference neither helped when his world collapsed round his head and he’d lost the love of his life.

“John you’re a bloody idjit.” Bobby growled

“Nah that’s you old man.” John replied when they walked into the house dean walked to ben’s room and knocked on the door.

“She got you grounded huh?” Dean walked into the room

“Yeh uncle Sam told her I wanted to hunt, two weeks to think bout it. She hit gramps for telling me he’d train me but he wanted me to get school done first.”

“Schools important, more important than being out there killing demons do school and college everything me and uncle Sam didn’t do we just want a good life for you.” Dean looked over he could see so much of himself in the kid and remembered how difficult teen years was. “What you playing?”

“Nightmare creatures its a good game, I just want to help I remember thinking you guys was superhero’s when I was little. It’s not like I don’t know how to fight I’m in trouble enough for fighting.” he sighed

“They’re different kid, your dad and uncle had no choice I did not give them the option but if I could have it any other way then they would have gone to school, college the works I got caught up on my personal hunt kid. Don’t want that for you, enjoy yourself kid and boys you need help on the hunt let me know.” John finally admitted it to the kids s he toyed with the wedding band on his finger.

“Thank you sir, we will have some food then head out to strt work,” Dean looked over to sm

“We will be fine sir, we have tackled it before we think. But you and bobby will need to stay here keep n eye on Ben.”

Moments later they herd the call for dinner and walked out to get washed up before headed to the table John noticed the pork roast on the table with all the trimmings.  Finally they sat down john at one end of the table with Bobby at the other end.

“You know your not my dad don’t you?” Ben looked up from his mealhe did not care the man was his  hero the best, considering hed never known his father.  Lis nudged him slightly.

“But that dont mtter right im here for you now+, your my son if you want to be? I will always think of you like your mine. ”  Dean smiled.

The Redemption – Chapter 5

It was many hours before the doctors wheeled the teenager back out hooked to various machines and with drips feeding through the blood to replace the blood he had lost and a machine breathing for him. Marnac looked to the monitors and notice the boys blood pressure had dropped below what it should have been he could not do anything but shake his head.  As he saw the kid strapped and out cold he needed to know what the score was with this child, would he pulled through or was he going to die? Could any one answer his questions? The order to keep him alive came from some high order no one new why no one took the kill shot.

 

The room seemed to fill with the beeps from the machine and the ventilator movements as the boy was sleeping. Marnac sat back and shook his head for a minute as he tried to work the madness out. A brief moment in time everything seemed to stop as Marnac lent forward and whispered in the boys ear “Come back kid, you need to find your way home.” Marnac was not ever sure the kid could hear him but in a way hoped he could. As nurses walked into the room and checked how the boy was doing as they checked the monitors and change the bags.

 

“Hows he doing” Marnac looked to the small oval faced young lady dressed in a blue and white pinafore dress.

 

“He will survive if that’s what your asking, he’s been in three weeks and they are thinking about waking him up. Or trying to wake him up we know who he is and his crimes his body seems to be healing and lucky those shooters knew what to aim at they missed his major organs.” The nurse looked over for a minute as all the medics had figured it was a miracle the injuries was not worse and the kid survived.

 

“He’s a good kid at heart like most kids but something set him on the wrong path something we never got to the bottom of. Then again we never really got passed the attitude he had with us but if he survives then there is plenty of time for that to happen.” Marnac looked to the teen in the bed and saw the kids hand move slightly “I don’t think you need to wake him up hes coming back.”

 

The nurse hit the panic button as Iuan’s eyes started to open and panic spread across his face as he realized he could not move and felt something hard down his throat instantly he thought he was choking and wanted it out. As he looked to Marnac who was now lent over him.

 

“Alright kid calm down the doc will be in soon, just do as your told.” the soldier ordered as he looked over aware he had another hour of duty before he could go anywhere else.  As a tall dark haired olive skinned doctor walked in and looked over for a minute as he walked to the bed.

 

“Welcome back to the world Iuan, I am Dr Ranolph Raven I have been in charge of your care since you came in. Lets get this tube out and make you more comfortable!” he made sure the boy was comfortble and started to remove the tube which was not nice for the child as the kid started to panic “Take a deep breathe and hold it” the doctor ordered and saw the kid do it A few minutes later he looked to the kid “Alright breathe out as hard as you can.” he ordered and removed the device as he looked over “let him have a drink of water his throat will be sore.” the doctor stated he knew the pain the tube could cause and sat him up to drink a little

 

”Do you know what happened?” Marnac helped the child with the water “take sips not big gulps.”

 

“I was shot..” the kid tried to remember the last moments but it was disjointed and in bits instead of complete sequence of events “Hostages? Garage?” he wasn’t sure but it was what he saw or what he remembered briefly “I killed my dad” he stumbled over the last few words kind of in shock as he looked over.

 

“Yes you killed your father which is why your under-arrest that the primary charge, secondary was holding ten people against their will at a gas station.” Marnac told him to try and jog the boys memory not thinking the damage it could do when he saw the kid blank expression on his face.

 

“I sort of remember your Copeland right? I don’t know the others though.” he looked to the other soldiers dressed in the same uniform as him “I’m too bad for heaven and not bad enough for hell.” a small smirk appeared on the boys tired face as the kid took steady breathes.

 

“Hey kid do you know where you are?” the doctor looked over as he checked the boys statistic over for a few minutes.

 

“N..no”

 

“Your at St Jowan’s memorial Hospital in intensive care, Do you know the date and day?” the doctor asked and looked over for a minute.

 

Iuan shook his head as he tried to take it all in and looked to his guards and the doctor for a few minutes. As he tried to work it all out and thought about things for a while with a frown he could not put it all together and again tried to move his hands but found he couldn’t.

 

“You have cuffs on attached to the bed we could not risk it kid.” Marnac looked to the child fave him a look telling the teen to calm down and relax.

 

“Alright it’s may 23rd 2020, you have been in a coma for three weeks and can you tell me who the President is?” the doctor was running through the preliminary checks as he thought about what had happened aware he would have to inform the police and security he was awake.

 

“Mr Wilhelm Heinzner” he stated as he thought about it how could he forget his fathers boss, the man who had changed his life for ever when he gave his father the position of head of security commander of the presidents personal guard. With this he closed his eyes and tried to force the memories of his family to the background of his mind.

 

 

Marnac moved slightly so the doc could ask Iuan the necessary questions aware it would be a long road for the kid. But smiled when he heard the teen say that he remembered the presidents name as he figured this meant his memory was still good and hoped what he’d forgot would come back to him over the proceeding time.

 

“Alright I will inform the security he’s awake and the police, on top of that I want him to undergo evaluation in a few days but for now he is not fit enough for trial or appear in court.” The doctor looked to Marnac for a minute

 

“That’s fine, I believe he can be tried in his absence doc just get him fit enough to be moved to a more secure facility and the doctors over there will deal with him.” Marnac looked to the child aware the kid would need to be moved back to the institution once the checks was done and the docs give him the okay.

 

“You looking at a week minimum we have to ensure he’s eating and drinking, theres no risk of infection before I sign off on this kid.  I know others would send out with out checking him but tell the truth this hospital likes to keep its reputation intact Major.” The doctor looked over aware the boy was lucky but could not let him out without making sure the lad was fit enough for the journey.

 

“Alright then the cuffs and guard stays I just hope that you have the help you need, I am sure here you will I know a good few doctors all of them are fantastic at what they do.” he thought for a minute and looked to the kid with a smirk “I will be back my duty is over but Stewart here will watch you and there’s plenty of soldiers as well as cops outside ready and waiting to make the kill shot.” Marnac warned the boy as he got from the chair and walked to the door when the two guards went out to talk this left the kid confused over what was happening but Iuan just shut his eyes for a minute.

 

A few minutes later the soldier walked in with a magazine and sat back to watch the kid. No one dared talk to the prisoner as the room filled with an air of anger and mistrust as Iuan looked to the soldier for a few minutes then back to the ceiling.. For weeks this was the routine medical guys walking in and checking the statistics or the catering putting food down and Marnac or whoever was on duty feeding him as no one trusted him to do it himself. Iuan had been trained to speak when spoken to and no longer in the mood to do much talking as he found the memories hitting home harder each time.  Until a tall man in black trousers and boots, leather jacket looked over to the teen as he walked in.

 

“Hey there kid I’m Jediah Walker, I am a consultant psychiatrist sent by the court to carry out a evaluation they call me over when ever they need approval to..” the doctor although was upbeat in his speech and mannerisms found he had been cut off.

 

“Yeah I know, Doctor De’ath and Tavian Instutions deal with me for Oppositional Defiance Disorder and ADHD. I guess you need my life story right or going to bring in the priests to exorcise me? Trust me father tried that it don’t work.” he thought about it and looked over for a minute the pain and suffering was all gods fault and Jesus certainly did not die for him or that was how it felt. The more Iuan thought about things the more he realized his life was hell and he was alive, something kept him alive.

 

“That may be the case but the courts want me to evaluate you to see how you are, and I can make a report and we can discuss might be able to put into place things that could help you.” The doctor had heard a lot about this teen and read his file to make enough decision on the child’s well being but knew he needed to talk to the child over everything.  Iuan knew he did not have much choice as he started to tell him every aspect of his life from the first time in the institution through to the last time and all the abuse from both parents and their friends.

 

“that last day I did not want to kill him just talk sure when I first met him I did but when I saw the tired old man who seemed so frail I decided against it. Something was wrong with him and I wanted to know what, but we argued and I just saw red before I lashed out at him it was like something had control of me. By the time I came through it was too late and he was on the floor in a pool of blood, I just sat there for a few minutes listening to the voices around me but no one was there apart from me and him.  After a while I ran through the back streets my top covered in blood and trousers as well I was numb did not know what I was doing. But got to the lake and took the top off and..”he shook his head as he tried to remember everything from that moment and saw Marnac in the door.

 

“He is definately mentally ill and should be committed to the asylum rather than a prison he needs serious help. In prison they don’t know how to handle this and he’ll just get worse I am going to say he is not well enough to stand trial due to deminished responsibility.” the more doctor listened to the boy he knew that the illness was caused by social events more than anything else but it was enough to prove his guilt by deminished responsibility. “I will request a second opinion and most likely a third to double check what I think but it is safe to say he has suffered a psychotic break caused by everything he suffered. If I had to give a diagnosis I would say Multiple Personality Disorder with Psychosis. And depression” the doctor had given the first major diagnosis and knew he could get a couple of doctors but noticed that had taken a lot out of the child and decided to leave it until another day.  But walked out and started to write a series of drugs on the chart to try and get the illness under-control.

 

Iuan settled back and looked to Marnac who was sat in deep thought but still on guard incase iuan got out of the straps or needed something. As the doctors was outside talking to each other over the treatment he heard doc De’ath and Raven talk about him and grew cold but tried to hide the panic he had in his mind.

 

“Why did not you tell us that was happening kid we could have stopped it?” Marnac looked over he always had a feeling something was wrong but kept quiet and looked to the kid. Marnac’s was angry with himself over it but his job was to follow orders and not interfere in the day to day life of the prisoners as he looked over and noticed Bastian stood in the doorway.

 

“No one would believe me it would have been seen as disrespect to my folks and put down as my illness. You would not have acted even if I said anything so there was no point to it.” Iuan looked over he was scared but felt a little better for telling the doctors over the abuse he had suffered his dad was dead now he could not suffer any more by his hands but he did not know what would happen next. Could he ever recover or achieve a life the thought of that was never on his mind he did not even stop to think about the impact it all had on his brain.  Bastian walked in and helped Marnac check the straps as they noticed Iuan settle down and try to get some rest for the next few hours Iuan remained still and resting while the soldiers filled out the papers on the prisoners care and the doctor brought in the declaration of insanity. The days soon filled up with the observations and talks with many different psychiatrists and psychologists all declaring the same diagnosis and cause.

 

Many left apollogising to the child for what had happened and knew life in the asylum was not going to be pleasant for the child as many high security hospitals was still very archaic places but it might work with the teen.  Eventually the teen was allowed back to his feet and cuffed so they could take him to an awaiting prison transport by which time he was heavily sedated and unable to fight back at that moment.

 

Iuan looked around as they walked him secured with cuffs and arm restraints as well as shackled down the long winding corridor towards the main corridors aware the medics beep the door open and out where the press was stood waiting for him to walk snapping his photo as soon as they let him out of the intensive care ward almost falling Marnac and Chad grabbed him tighter to stop him falling and walked to a silver metallic lift as the door opened.

 

“All right step in kid,” Marnac ordered aware there was a unit of heavily armed soldiers with them when he nodded to Stanton and Erickson. To wait for a minute as Iuan stepped forward “Okay boys you two head out soon as we get down there and bring the wagon over to the door. The rest of us have the prisoner secured and tight he wont be getting away.” Marnac ordered and saw his boys nod.

 

“You got it boss, and I believe they have his old room secured and prepared for him.” Erickson stated as he looked to the kid as he remembered the kid with Charles on the military barracks when they was younger now he was in serious trouble. But with the trial not far away and the clinicians willing to stand up and defend the boy, or at least give their professional opinion which meant the boy would be tried in his absence. The plead of guilty by deminished responsibility was set and evidence had been gathered to prove his guilt but also the illness.

 

Once the lift hit the basement floor everyone knew it would be hard but it was the floor that did not have any press for the boy to react to. They knew to keep all the stimulation down to a minimum if they needed to they had a body bag with them that could be used but no one liked that mode of transport for ill patients as this cut them from everything whether the stimulation was good or bad even though they had greater control it Marnac had made the choice not to use it on Iuan this occasion. As the boy was compliant and doing as he was told to, as Iuan walked out of the lift with assistance from the soldiers and down a badly lit room towards the outside doors.

 

When two soldiers ran to get the wagon and pulled up outside after a few minutes. They was secured the teen into the chair in a large caged off section of the transporter, he just looked to Marnac and shook his head as he knew not to talk until told to with the asylum and given the fact he was known for biting they’d fixed a device which was soft in his mouth but tight around the back. Something Iuan hated wearing but he had caught them off guard several times over the years as he had hurt nurmerous guards through bitting.

 

”I know you don’t like it but its only for an hour and you’ll be back in your old cell soon.” Marnac knew there was not anything he could do he needed to safeguard his men as well as the prisoners safety and welfare. As he made sure that he was secured and the door closed and locked behind him with the loud clinking of the locking mechanisms.

 

Marnac sat down in plain sight of the child and with the others dressed in green and black combat trousers and khaki top with their hands poised on the guns he looked to the soldiers for a few minutes with a sigh as he saw the panic in the boys eyes but knew he could not take anything off until they arrived at the asylum.  He looked to the unit of soldiers with him and tried to work it out as he noticed a couple of other prisoners being shipped over to the asylum from specialist holding wards at the hospital but restraint free other than the handcuffs to stop them attacking or running from custody.  As the transporter progressed through the main roads of the town and down towards the the land of the asylum Marnac looked to the prisoner in the back and then to the others.

 

”Alright we allow them to disbark first and get them to where they are needed to go then we move this one out and over to the isolation echo-chambers. Once there leave him in the restraints it should help reinforce that running wont be allowed in any way shape or form. Then we have work to focus on we will see how long he is in the restraints for at a later time. Could be half hour or a few hours may be we leave him for a few days.” Major Copeland stated seeing the kid so sedated he could not move as they waited for the others to leave the transport and saw the signal it was safe to move him. After a few minutes the cage was opened and Iuan felt them grab him to his feet and drag him out when they manovered him out of the van even though he fell out of the van rather than stepping this only seemed to give them time to kick him while he was down.

 

While Marnac copeland’s back was turned as soon as they saw him looking they got the teem back to his feet he was thirteen and in a world of trouble.. As soon as they noticed Copeland look over they helped him to his feet and walked down the wide open plan courtyard of the prison over to the main asylum.

 

No matter how scared he was Iuan didn’t have a choice but to do as he was being forced to his legs would not move in accordance to his own will so he was dragged through the yard with many children shouting obserdities at him and threats. As they watched him being dragged away from the van and down a small narrow bricked passageway designed to shut him from everything an everyone around him as they led him through a maze of underground tunnels and to a cell which was near to the beasts he was raised to be terrified of.  As they took him through he tried to constantly get away but due to the heavy sedation they was stronger than he was and he walked to the bed where they put him on the bed face down onto the col hard stone bed. Before they all walked out and slammed the door shut made it echoed around the room almost deafening to the child contained with in the cell.

The Redemption – Chapter Four

As he raced through the muddy tracks of the woodland he could barely focus as he thought about his family and friends. One man he needed to locate and teach a lesson it was a frame of mind he had been forced into a state that he knew if he did not deal then it would happen again but this time he would be damned if his friends stopped him. The burning pit of anger and hatred burnt deep with in the very core of his soul the anger and hatred for a man he knew had hurt him over the years since he took his first breath possibly even his first step. He could not remember in that moment, his attention was on the ride while the wind blew in his hair he narrowly missed the trees and could hear the sound of police sirens screeching around the woods as he rode through and spotted one parked at the exit he wanted to use he quickly turned the bike quickly as his baby would go to the north-eastern exit and hoped that no one saw him.

 

As he drove from the woods and along the main country road as he near the tall sky scrapper building in Willenhall that his father worked at he slowed the bike and disappeared into the back roads. As soon as he had climbed from his bike he took his phone from the pocket and instantly sent a message.

 

-Dad meet me on Rosella the school, the by the market and bingo hall we need to talk dad and going to need the car” he hit send and settled back aware Millennial was a quiet calm community where nothing ever seemed to happen and he walked into Rosella chippy with a little bit of lose change where he looked to a small tanned skinned woman who talked with an Iranian accent.  “Cod and chips with a can of coke and three scallops please .” Iuan ordered as he looked to the lady for a minute.

 

“Yes sir, that will be five pounds please sir.” The man stood dressed in a white overall with his hair up in a net as he took the order and looked to the television screen. While serving the chips and Cod along with the rest of the order all wrapped in the same bag and the can on the side with salt and vinegar.

 

“Thank you Rashid, take care my friend.” Iuan stated and handed the man what he owed for the food before opening the pack and taking a fork. As he walked back out the shop and down the road aware the nearest large police station was several miles away from the small community he walked down the street and realized that Rashid had hidden a small magnum with in the papers with a few bullets he could not help but to smirk remembering Rashid was once one of the renegades someone who refused to bow down before his father became chronically ill.

 

He realized that his friend and comrade would always help the boys and him when he could. Because throughout the racist events and bullying the bikers have always been around to protect and help.  Many saw the young boys as the Guardian angels of the towns and villages able to get where the authorities couldn’t but this gave the men and women of the local gangs and criminal fraternities turned their backs on the street children who often found themselves falling foul of the local authority. Iuan walked through the town market keeping his eyes on the local attractions of the busy markets stalls.

 

 

Which displayed various and wide selection of sweets and cakes, clothes and DVD along with an extensive selection of wild rabbit and pheasants strung from the metal poles.  He smiled at the sight of such a beautiful glorious array of sweet delights that was until he had walked towards the dale bingo hall and Rosella school and noticed his father.  He stopped for a minute then looked to his dad as he saw he was alone, Iuan walked over to his dad as he looked to everyone for a minute as he studied the lay of the land as if looking for the men who usually accompanied his father.  But sighed a sigh of relief as he walked over and looked to the 6ft short brown haired squared faced man which had stubble along the jaw line and even he looked like he’d not been to sleep in months for the first time he noticed the tired look.

 

“Your here son? Looking well?” the man looked to his son for a few minutes and then around them “Come on lets go somewhere to talk, I come alone.” he stated almost robotic in his manner and tone.

 

“Dad you can talk here or we go to the warehouse where my bike is,” Iuan could feel the hatred building almost like clock work ready to explode at any minute but kept his fear back and looked to the men for a minute.

 

“We go there somewhere no one can see us, and we can talk with out the fear of you being picked up by the local law enforcers. How are you keeping son?” the old man looked to him with a smile.

 

“Um I’m fine dad, but dad I don’t know what is happening to you but I can’t let you do it to me again or to the others.” Iuan settled into a steady pace aware he had decided on where they would go and watched his dad so no call could be put through to request assistance. Iuan thought for a minute as he looked over to his father and walked by his side calmly and collected he drew his old man away from the crowds and to the isolated spot.

 

”We realize your mother and I that I was a little harsh, but you push me to it son. You honestly do not give me any other option but to beat your ass and all I want is you to obey us. Stop the way your going and obey what your told!” the man looked over

 

“Obey who your word or the overseers? You know I am sure there’s laws about beating your children no matter how bad they behave father and that institution I am not going back Ever.” Iuan

 

”Son see this is the reason your sent there they can help with the attitude and the temper you have reign it in son.”

 

Once they was clear and without further hesitation, Iuan launched at his father with the knife and ensure the knife pierced the man’s heart. With in a minute he was stood over the surge of power and a release of hatred he watched his father fall but did not stop stabbing him as he let every inch of the anger out on the man who had caused him so much pain over the years. The mix of excitement and anger with fear conjoined into one in that moment as he thought about everything and the world around him exploded with joy as he took down the one thing that stood against him in the world.

 

“I don’t need there help and you don’t need to worry any more father, just lie back and prepare to meet your maker old man.” Iuan stated and looked to the man lying bleeding on the floor multiple stab wounds to the man’s chest as the anger subsided within an instant the red cloud had vanished and Iuan sat back out of breathe as he stared at his fathers cold still and definitely dead body. It suddenly dawned on him that he was in deeper than even he had ever thought possible as he stared point blank at his father unsure how long he had been there he moved slowly away from the corpse still holding the knife in his hand.

 

“Well done Iuan you’re a bona fide murderer, you finally killed the demon.” Iuan looked around him and then to the old man on the floor “What you going to do now?” he asked himself in a low tone with a shake of his head his heart was still pounding as he noticed that his hands was covered in blood and so was his clothes stood up quickly and ran from the scene as his mind raced with thoughts he did not recognize, the thoughts that was designed to keep him moving.  The more he thought of what had happened the more he got distracted by his thoughts and the negativity of his actions. As he ran through the back roads and down to the local river where he washed his hands. And removed his top cleaning the blood from his hands and face before he wrapped the top over stones and threw it in the river. He did the same with the knife which was his pride and joy since his early days of the fights.

 

Once be had got rid of the evidence he looked behind him and walked through to the main roads which led back to his bike. As he walked through the main streets towards the dale barely noticing the blood down his trousers it was crazy almost like he was in a mad daze a state of semi reality. As he walked over and picked the branches up which had been covering his bike, before he jumped on and sped away back down the country lanes the wind seemed fresher in his hair this tome almost sweeter than ever before. The sense of freedom washed over him as he looked at the road ahead of him and rode back to the home to where he thought his friends would be waiting for him when he became aware of the sound of bike engines behind him and the loud roars of the jeep engines.

 

“Shit” he looked back a little noticed the other bikes seemed to have the local police markings he realized that he had to draw them away from the direction he was headed to protect the boys location as he weaved his way through the trees. As he pulled back on the throttle sped the bike up to maximum speed aware it was not wise to do it in the woods but seeing the cops and institute cars. He swerved narrowly missing a large oak tree in the center of the woods. By this time an all points bulletin had been raised as the body of the tall slim business man had been discovered by a unit of men who’d been sent out to look for the missing operative. The boy of Macgregor Sinclair was found at the disused warehouse on the south side of Willenhall earlier this afternoon. It is believed that the victim was the father of Iuan sinclair who escaped from the Darkhaven institution last week.

 

Police believe he is responsible for the murder of his father and believe he is armed and dangerous and advising people don’t approach us but call 911 as soon as you see him. He was last seen wearing a red Man U t-shirt and courdroys” the news reporter on the radio to clearly stated as a photo of him flashed up on the visor of the black helmet he wore with big red letters Armed and Dangerous as well as Wanted flashed up on the screen. Although Iuan was not really paying attention he noticed he had lost the cops and skidded his bike to a halt along the dirt trail leading to the old O’ryan house.

 

With the details and his picture every where he noticed the young boys turn to look at him curious over it all.  But he walked in and grabbed a beer from the fridge as he could see his friends nudging each other. Iuan looked over as a pair of trousers was thrown at him.

 

”You lose them kid?” a rough voice asked as he looked to the kid

 

”Yeah, he had it coming man you know that! But no one will want to believe me that I was abused will they he drove me to it I don’t even remember it. But they will send me back in now wont they?” he was panicked and looked a small well built muscular man.

 

”They will be we can keep you hidden from here for a while, Like we usually do while on the run, but you can’t go near the towns or any other buildings any one sees you and your in danger of being copped. Been on the run from the law before don’t forget you do not want to face the santrinsical penitenuary boys.” Antero stated and looked over to his friend he could see the panic in the boys eyes and shook his head.

 

“That’s going to be hard but if I can talk to my dad then we might be able to give you a attorney who will believe you. But you took a life man, they will throw the book at you and no return if your caught before he can work something out.” Kitto looked to his brother and best friend with a shake of his head when he noticed the killer look in Antero’s face.

 

”Hope is a dangerous thing and false hope is even worse, that can make a person lose control bro when thing don’t go according to plan. So stop feeding false hope and focus on the here and now, the facts and truth of the events.” Antero snapped aware his kid brother was right in a way but trying to protect Iuan from when things hit the fan.  “Alright police will be looking for you no doubt a man hunt after you, we need to burn those trousers and those shoes your about the same size as me so take my spare sneakers bro. Food there’s enough here for a few days yet and that supermarket bin is always good for snacks and stuff.”  Antero tried to think on his feet over it all. “Tech phones, ipad, bike, helmet all have trackers we need to get rid of all of that.”

 

”Bike about half mile down the road, phone I threw in the river with the knife weighed down with rocks the institution has the other tech they always confiscate what an inmate shouldn’t have when they go in.” Iuan disappeared to the showers outside the house and cleaned up before he headed back in and got changed not caring the girls was around as he stripped and revealed the extent of the scaring all down his body and along his chest from the beating he had from his father. “Looks worse than it is, you kinda get used to the scars and pain after a while.”  Iuan quickly changed into the other trousers and bagged his old one up ready to be put in the incinerator down in the basement along with the sneakers he wore when he killed is old man. Iuan looked over to his friends and looked to everyone in turn he knew that moment he was lucky to have them but he had to run. How could he live in hiding with them risking everything to help him, he was bound to be caught in the end of a week from running. As words from the only soldier he knew entered his mind “running from your problems will only serve to make them worse. Stand and face the horrors of the world and your actions stand and be counted Iuan.” with this in his mind he looked to his friend Shane hunter a royal, Jace his kid brother, Antero and his kid brother Kitto both dukes of the realm they was in, he looked over with a shake of his head as he heard they all wanted to help but how could he let them.  Perhaps for a while he would stay, another few days a week or so until he figured out what had happened was it the training from the institution he could not figure it out. As he crumpled to the floor shaking badly so as his friends would over and picked him up walked him to the sofa and sat him down.

 

”Shock of what he did, grab a beer and some of that weed it might help him calm down. Kid you’ll be fine just drink this and I will make you a smoke, those who don’t want to help clear the fuck out of here. Just remember this kid has had your ass more times than you had hot dinners.” Antero growled and smirked when none of the children moved as they watched their friend take a sip of the beer as Antero made a spliff as he took a toke on it and passed it over to the teen. Iuan took it and started to smoke as he lay back trying to calm the thoughts running rampant in his mind first his fathers voice telling him he was “look at what you did your useless and stupid will amount to nothing you worthless piece of shit” then the soldier who dragged him out to the procedures and therapies seemed to be telling him to face his demons. The more he thought about it the more he had to sit up.

 

“If I give up then they send me back to the asylum, you boys will be fine no matter what happens to me! “ he watched the news on the screen in front of him from the police statements urging people to come forward with information in regards to the murder or whereabouts of Iuan Rydderch Sinclair. When he noticed his older brother Dayton stood in front of the camera he looked over “turn it up I want to hear what he has to say.”  the teen looked to his large framed red haired brother who was stood next to the cops in his leather jacket and white shirt.

 

”I know you can hear me or one of your friends can, you need to give yourself up bro we want to help you but running is making it all worse bro please listen to us and come forward before the man hunters find you than there’s no return.” Dayton looked into the camera “Please bro get somewhere safe and call in, so we can help you.” no one realized that day had his right hand clenched but Kit looked over.

 

”He wants you safe sure but not in custody look at his right hand the ring on his index finger. His trying to warn you of something but if your ready to give in and spend life in prison then nothing we do can stop you in that frame of mind. Best for you to give up now but then again take time to think they might not execute but the punishment is harsh for murder of someone in the presidential service let alone the head man of it.” Another boy stated and knew eventually his friend would be found but no one in the house would rat him out they understood why Iuan took his dad out but they all knew they were now prime targets to be dragged in and interrogate over the whereabouts of their friend. Over the next few days no one left the house as they watched iuan sink into a pit of despair and depression Kit and Antero as well as the royals left the house for a matter of hours aware they had to show their faces at school and home.

 

Last thing they needed was the royal guards sent out after them to search for them. Iuan sat on the sofa not doing anything but continued to be distant from his friends the kids who he ran with everyday since kindergarten as he struggled to deal with what he had done until he got to his feet and picked up a gun when he walked out an down to his bike in a daze as he tried to work it all out.

 

“IUAN SINCLAIR WHERE THE HELL ARE YOU GOING? FOR THE SAKE OF THE SAINTS OF ROSLYN USE YOUR GOD DAMN BRAIN.”  several of the children shouted at him as he walked out while the older boys tried to stop him but no one seemed to get through. Dylan and Kit charged at him and knocked him to the floor as they hit the hard dirt track they fought with him but noticed he got away from them and sped off down the track on his motorbike as he left them stood there as they shook their heads.

 

With the sheriffs and the police searching the bounty hunters out along with the man-hunters he rode through the dark desolated country roads. Far from his mind was listening to his friends who he could distantly hear calling out his name in an act of desperation to stop him from going blindly out into the world. Everyone knew that Marnac’s unit would find him and drag him back to answer for the crime no one cared if he was damaged at that time of the crime. Iuan raced through the woods and out to the warehouse something had snapped deep within the synapses of his brain and he was spiraling out of control.  As he raced through the street and back alleys down the cul-de-sac and through the grave yards he saw police after police car joining the high speed chase. As the cars and motorbikes as well as the helicopter followed the young boy looked over with a smirk as he brought the bike to a screeching halt down the road from where they was and walked into a packed gas station grabbing a little child when he noticed Marnac park up and looked to him.

 

“Iuan come you’re a smart kid walk out with your hands up and surrender.” Marnac remain calm and flat tone to his voice as well as a neutral stance, he was trying to make it look non threatening to the child as he radioed through for back up as he found the boys location.

 

“NO I WANT A WAY OUT OF THIS TOWN, I WANT A HELICOPTER TO TAKE ME WHERE EVER I WANT AND TWO MILLION DOLLARS.” Iuan started as he threw bags at the cashier “Fill them up I’m getting out of here and running.” he smirked as he looked to the 6ft tall brunette lady with hazel brown eyes wearing a long purple dress with her hair tied back in a bun.

 

“You know I am not authorized, but I have some one coming over now who might be able to how many have you got in that place? Any one need medical attention kid?” Marnac looked over as he tried to count the heads he could see as part of assessing the situation. As police cars turned up Johnston Kash a tall man with dark hair and beard climbed from the car and walked to the specialist van.

 

”Whats the low down” Johnston asked as he looked to Marnac aware he had to set up some sort of dialogue between the officer and the teen.

 

“He’s given his demands wants a way out,, helicopter and two million dollars.” Marnac replied and saw some one hold up ten fingers he hoped he was right and looked over to his friend “If I am right there’s ten people I n there. His name is Iuan, not sure on weapons he might have but I can try and get in there he might let me through. I know him from the institution he was in, “

 

”All right thanks, we need to get a link through to him open dialogue.”

 

“There’s a phone in the shop just got the number “ Sheriff Leighton Knight looked over to his friend and handed him a phone number as he looked around “Pegasus are setting up along the roofs with ready to shoot if the order is given over.” Marnac stated as he knew the institutions boys was lining up out of sight.

 

Sheriff Knight looked to Marnac with a smile “We keep this within our department and the private security firms if we can I know he has to go back to your work and we will ensure he is charged and dragged back once we get them out safe.” The sheriff looked over and hoped this would be done quick as he noticed Kash on the phone and waiting for the kid to answer.

 

“What you want? No one home!” Iuan stated as he heard the officer down the phone.

 

“Calm down Iuan is it alright if I call you Iuan?” Kash inquired and looked over for a minute as he waited for a response.

 

“Yeah, my name I am in control it is easy as this you get me a free passage from here to a helicopter and two million dollars.” Iuan demanded

 

”Iuan is there anyone you want to talk to, I can see you looking over at us.” Kash looked over and saw the men on the roof tops and scattered along the ground.

 

“I don’t want to talk to you that’s for sure Copeland, I’ll talk to Marnac.” the teen looked over “Lock the doors  and you run I will shoot you.” Iuan ordered a small stocky dark haired man dressed in a Gucci suit who promptly locked the doors Iuan knew this place inside and out. “Everyone else on the floor hands above your heads and shut the fuck up.”

 

As he watched the situation outside the Garage and shook his head aware things would get worse before they got better as he heard the warning tones from Marnac Copeland a soldier they all knew better than to argue with.

 

“All right I’m here this is the game plan, how about you come out with your hands up and the weapon on the ground?”

 

“Like hell, in fact hell will freeze over before I give the hell up.”

 

“Well let’s stop and think Iuan just calm down I know your not seeing the full picture. Even if they was to secure what you want they will still know where your going and will be waiting for you.  That’s if you make it out of the building alive kid, you know the odds of that happening plus there’s some of your fathers men with itchy trigger fingers but you release the hostages and we can talk.” Marnac figured they had enough food in the building so that wouldn’t be called out for.

 

“So no way out? You’re wrong man I got hostages here Copeland people I can use collateral bargaining chips. I shoot one of these and they’ll realize I mean business Copeland.” Iuan was serious and made sure that Marnac knew, as he thought about it but shook his head he wasn’t going to fall for what Marnac said he knew the security would be intent on getting as many out alive that they could.

 

“Alright Iuan calm down lets talk and work something out let the sick and injured out show willing and we can do more. They wont give anything if you don’t let some go.” Marnac thought about it and looked to the officers as if expecting some sort of cue.

 

“Nothing to talk about, you get what I want or I will shoot the hostages.” Iuan growled down the phone as he looked to the men and women especially the children “Alright there’s three children aged ten to fifteen I am sending them out with a lady who is in labor but the others are staying. I have a cop in here and looks like the metro-mayor of this forsaken place and a couple of hoodied teens.” Iuan stated as he signaled to the kids small teens with sandy colored hair and a tall thin heavily pregnant lady with strawberry blond hair and blue eyes.

 

As he allowed them out of the building the teen watched everyone carefully through the window and out to the awaiting units. He knew there was not much he could do but had already spotted the soldiers and police stationed on one of the roof tops. He tried to show he was willing to work with everyone and looked over when he noticed everyone in the building was scared of him. As the police approached the children and only adult to be let out of the building while the medics checked them all over. While the police was busy with the people he had let go those police not trying to find out what was happening in the shop was trying to find ways to talk the kid out and it seemed as if Marnac and Kash working as a team was working like clockwork but could they get them all out.

 

”Iuan I’m coming in and seeing what the trouble is, you need the medication you was supposed to have hows the head?” Marnac looked over to the doctor with a worried look.

 

“Heads clear,” Iuan stated then heard a familiar voice which interrupts him from the deepest darkest recess “Your stupid boy, look at the mess you have created their going to kill you for this, your going to be harvested lie others of your kind.” the voice stated as Iuan looked around and shook his head for a few minutes as if trying to get the voice to shut up.. The more he thought the chances of him coming out in one piece decreased no matter how much he demanded even he had to stop and think the pilot would be theirs the driver as well under orders.  He looked over alright you lot go I have this one, he dropped his guard and let the hostages go he had no idea how long he had been in the building for but figured it had been a few hours.  This got the soldieers and men off guard as the cops was talking about heading in but after a while iuan walked out his fun in his hand and started to pick off the soldiers which forced the snipers to open fire maximum impact was what iuan had in mind and he would go out in style. As snipers pumped his chest and knee with iron from their bullets which forced his body to jerk and twitch back until he fell on the floor.

 

“It’s going to be a miracle if this kid is still alive…. PUT YOUR WEAPONS DOWN.” the sheriff ordered as him and a team of medics walked over to the boy who wasn’t moving and stretched out on the floor with a pool of blood around him as the medics ran over and started to work. Heriff looked to the medics an could see the kid was still breathing “I am arresting you Iuan Rydderch Sinclair for the murder of Danillo Sinclair and the hold up of the Grenfold Station you have the right to remain silent but I shall caution you that anything you do say may be used in court. If you can’t afford an attorney one will be provided for you.” Sheriff Knight stated as he went to cuff the kid up but saw the medic shake his head.

 

“He might have heard the rights being read but he wont need to be cuffed he can barely run he’s out for the count Sir. He wont be going anywhere for a long time apart from the st. Jowans hospital now move out the way and let us work.” The fair haired black medic knew time was against them any one else and the shot would have been a kill shot the man thought and figured there wasn’t a clear line of fire. But what ever the reason Iuan was for all points of concern down and out cold.

 

”Alright but my boys will follow on Copeland, I staying to help clear u here and Erickson you call in once he wakes up.” Knight looked over once the medical team  stem the bleeds they placed him on a stretcher and strapped him down in case he regained consciousness and continued to work while they transported it through to the hospital with an armed unit consisted of two men with them. As the men watched and listened the medical crew working on the prisoner to stabilize him they looked over for a few minutes.

 

“Their hypocratic oath thing is still intact through a lot of changes have been made everyone is entitled to the medical care unless found guilty by a court of law.” Marnac stated a he looked to the young boy on the bed, once at the hospital iuan was pushed directly into the theater where the doctors worked on the kid although no one understood why they was wasting time on the child. No one truly expected the child to pull out of the situation he was in as Marnac ensured the straps was tight enough to hold the kid if he came through but once in theater it was out of his hands and Marnac like the other police and soldiers found they could only wait around for any news of the prisoners condition.  What ever made the boy do what he did they did not think they would know perhaps this was the sad end to the boys life like so many in his situation.

The Redemption – Chapter 3

Iuan lay on his bed days after the scans was taken as Trave walked in and handed the drugs over. Aware if he wanted to go into the common room the prisoner would do as he was told and watched the kid take the tablets. He smiled and walked out shutting the door behind him and clicking it locked. As he checked Iuan schedule and noticed he was down for an exploratory surgery while being awake as he looked to the kid all any one could do was hope the six months would go fast. With the doctors cutt into him as they went in with the intent fix something or take samples to find why the prisoners bone was the way it was.  Everything they did for weeks seemed to bring more questions and they needed answers but every time they operated they never found answers.  The following weeks consisted of the cell and treatment rooms tests it became as if time, no longer existed for him. As if he himself had somehow got stuck on ground hog day. As the treatment routines fell into place with in the first week.

 

Everything seemed to be as they worked through the damage which could be causing the the complications in his life which for some reason always led him back the center he was now stationed in.  No child liked to have their freedoms restricted or told what to do but in many ways the children and teens needed to be instructed stricter in their lives on how to handle themselves.  Iuan sat in his cell and looked over to the door as a small fair haired child and another tall dark haired young teen walked in with a smile. He was instantly to his feet and looked to the young boys he did not know the time of day let alone what day it was as he looked to the prisoners.

 

“Morning Iuan it is 6am, the others are in bed your due to go out to the yard for a morning run.”

 

“That makes a change kid, I been coup up in this Chicken pen since I got here. All right kid your following orders it is time I did what they said having proved I’m calm enough to have some freedom but what happened over the week I cant remember much?” Iuan asked he knew growing up in these places was hard and at a guess the children could not be any older than eleven or twelve years old.  Iuan thought back to when he was their age and knew they had to follow orders as he looked to the kids and half expected a guard to walk in and cuff him like usual.

 

“You don’t get it do you, there’s armed guards and starving dogs around the place. You make a wrong move and they shoot then ask you questions at the end of it if your dead they bring you back and ask questions then kill you again they have fun doing that.  I hate this place and the stupid soldiers, “ Iuan looked to the children and thought recognizing much of him in the one.

 

“You know they hear you say that and your in trouble, what doctors are around this hell hole now?” Iuan asked and looked to the kids trying to work it all out for a minute.

 

“Doctor De’ath, Professor Raven and Professor Lansop those are the main three. My names  Deacon Road I have been here for two years they keep finding a reason to hold me in this place.  This is Paul otherwise known as Palestar, I’m not sure on his story he don’t talk that much. I believe you’ve been In before so know the score.”Deacon said as he walked out of the room behind Iuan and towards the end of the tunnel.

 

“Yeah this is the fifth time my first I was eight, dad found out about the fights I was in at school and showing my mom as well as him disrespect above that I was doing drugs and beating a brother up. So he threw me into this place, some kids I know back home have been in and out of here since they was two or three. This place screwed them up more than sorted them out and the folks don’t know what is going on with the kids.” he looked over for a minute and thought about everything from the therapy rooms to the prisoners cells and the militia walking about armed with the AK 47’s and machete along with small hand held weaponry. The younger boys looked over to Iuan with a smirk they had never met one of the original few before but now they was walking with one of the original kids of the facility.

 

“So this must be a kick in the teeth or something, After breakfast your wanted with the docs in theater. Something to do with the structure of your bones or something we don’t get the full detail but they like to get us to escort you so your going in with friends rather than a soldier..” Deacon looked to Iuan and noticed the kid nod he understood as everyone knew doc de’ath was a nasty piece of work.  He looked over with a smirk as he had met one of the original subjects with in the base. “You know there’s more of these places around the world and according to some people a few off world places. “

 

“I know I’ve heard and experienced it but this is the first port of call.” Iuan stopped suddenly as he saw an officer he knew well and looked over to a 6ft muscular man with short cropped military hair cut and square face the teen stopped and shook his head for a minute.  “Marnac figgin Copeland? One of the best dang guards I know in this place thought you retired years back.” he smirked as he looked to the only guard he ever respected.

 

“Oh look its the very important pipsqueak, wait if your here where’s the motley crue?” Marnac looked at the teen sarcastically and looked over “The motley crue, that was a bad band man” a small framed soldier retorted.

 

“It’s what he called my friends, always seems to be one in at the same time as me or all of us. But not this time they are safe and well ans I am not informing on any one so go screw the professor.” Iuan looked over to the soldiers and saw them shake their heads.

 

“Watch the tone young man, or we will send you to the pit.” this made Iuan stare at the young officer. He figured the man was aged around twenty five with auburn colored hair and hazel green eyes. He noticed the oblong shape to the officers face and the pale blue complexion to the soldier.

 

“You and whose Frick army ass, you don’t know who your dealing with here I’m the king of this damn castle and pissing on your parade.” he smirked as he looked to the soldier and Marnac stepped forward Iuan noticed the headache from hell hitting home.. As he played up more and looked to the others who was backing away muttering something under their breath.

 

“Me and my army ass, do you think the beasts of nevermore are hungry yet? ” As Marnac and the other soldier grabbed Iuan and dragged him down to the catacombs deep underground and cuffed his hand and ankles before throwing him into the tunnel.

 

“I should think those beast are ravenous they have not had a human too feed of for months surviving of the scraps of meat that is thrown down so they will definitely be ravenous.” the young soldier smirked a little and thought everything through for a minute as they looked to the prisoner.

 

“NOOO! COME ON YOU CAN’T LEAVE ME DOWN THERE. GET OFF MEEEEE……” he screamed as he noticed the corridors filling with the echo of his fear. Iuan heard the soldiers laughing as they walked away from the base and closed his eyes briefly. As he tried to block out the howling of the hungry beast down in the darkened pit. The 9ft hairy red eyed creatures which feed upon the children and their fear but to hear one growl is stuff off utter nightmares and the fact you could not move intensified the fear in that moment.

 

He lay face down once he hit the floor, with  sickening thud then the sudden burst of pain which he could feel the pain of the cuts and what he figured was a broken bone. As he listened to the growls and howls of the beasts which came from all around him. The pain ripped through his body along with the sickening feeling which twisted his stomach into a sickening knot. As he looked at the red piercing laser like eyes which stood in the corner of the room. He was terrified of the creature as he saw it move.  He watched the creature as it stalked him ad seemed to slink across the tunnel occasionally, he felt the warm breathe on his neck and as if something was nibbling at his legs.

 

The teen knew that some times children never came back from the pits, he did not know if the pain was making his mind some how play him up. As if his imagination was making it worse on him, as he lay with something wet and sticky running down his head and into his mouth. It was at this point he could taste blood.

The teen lay trying to get out of the cuffs but knew they had been closed so he could not get out of the restraints and his body hurting he did not know how long he had been down in the pit. But the fear of the creatures was enough to scare him as he looked over to the door eventually he passed out due to the pain he was in and woke up when the soldiers marched in and took him out of the dungeons leading him down to the theater.

 

“Get off me you bastards I will have your job for this.” he tried to struggle but the pain worked through his body each movement he made he could scream out but was not going to give any one the satisfaction of knowing he was suffering. As he felt the bones ad muscles break more and shift out of place, as they took him down a badly lit stone corridor towards the medical bay.

 

“Put him in the side room and secure him the bones need to be reset, before he heads to the cells. Doctor De’ath is dealing with him, and may he be in a merciful mood.” The doctors all started to laugh along with the soldiers

 

“Is he ever in a good mood? I don’t think I ever seen him in one. He’s harder than the others on these kids.” Marnac stated made sure the order was carried out as he looked to the men around him. The soldier knew that the mention of Doc De’ath scared every child with in the facility. Iuan tensed as he heard the name and closed his eyes as he allowed out a slight grunt of pain, when they placed him on his back and strapped him down. The soldiers stood back and raised the gun ready in case he would try something. While they waited for their next order  Marnac turned to the kid “I hope you continue to think of your actions kid, what put you in this situation. Think long an hard and lose the attitude.”  Marnac might have been a soldier but he had lost everything dear to him and the worst was he could not remember why.

 

As he looked to the child and waved his finger to the door giving the signal for them to leave the room he hoped the kid would listen. As the door slammed shut lights started to flash around the room, as the teen did not have a choice but to watch the sequence the lights was in. A moment later the room filled with sounds of piercing noises and drills interwoven with the howls of the beasts and commands which seemed to be repeated.  Iuan lay In the flat chilled bed but noticed how soft the mattress was compared to the hard floor, he was used to but he wanted to shut off. But every time he closed his eyes the piercing sound made his head hurt more, and he opened his eyes for a brief moment. The teen knew this was him for six months, but that time would pass quicker than people thought it would. As the doctors ran tests and flashing lights resetting the bones and doing what he was told. Was just a course of the normal day or would soon be part of the normal day, soon it would be like he knew nothing else.

 

Doctors walked in and started to manipulate the broken bones as he looked to the young man. Who could be seen struggling with the pain he was going through, the process of the resetting broken bones hurt like hell but the teen got to his feet over the weeks he was there and looked to the doctors.  As he looked at everything for a minute and gently took in what was around him when they walked him down to the main office where he stood and looked to Patterson. The General just looked over for a minute no one really knew what the drugs the children was handed did to their system but the more compliant the child was the easier the soldiers jobs became and after weeks of being in the hospital the child was not likely to fight.

 

Iuan looked at the tall dark haired man dressed in royal blue army uniform a man he never thought he would see again. But now he was in front of him again with a smirk the man got to his feet and walked to the prisoner with a slight shake of his head.

 

“Well less than a year this time a new record for you, now time to work here and do what your told to do. I want him out hunting for new children those people wont miss we have new experiments to try and the professors need fresh meat as well as this you can aid in the care of the inmate in isolation.” he smiled and looked to the boy as he saw the kid shake his head a little.

 

“Yes sir, when do I go out sir?” he asked and figured it would be with another kid as he looked to the general for a minute as he tried to work it all out and then locked back for a moment.

 

“Now you have three hours to scout out and bring back anyone you see, failure to do as order means you will find yourself in the pit for two days. And the lighted chamber for a further three days.” The general ordered as he looked over to the prisoner with this said Iuan ran out of the room and grabbed his pass which gave him a way out of the building.  In that moment he did not care why he was out but he cared he was going out to fresh air and civilization. As he walked through the prison grounds watched the children being escorted to and from their duties and some of the older bigger kids kicking up a fuss over the treatments or withdrawal of any outside time they had.  As he walked out showed the pass to the a soldier at the door and out to a large open planned piece of land with sentry guards around watched from the towers.

 

”Pass?” a tall dark haired soldier looked over for a few minutes an thought everything over as he studied the children in front of him. As he took note of the children walk out to him with a smile and shake of his head “What he doing letting you out? You know what will happen if you don’t come back.” the soldier gazed at the child for a minute and the back to the other one and shook his head.

 

“You send the flat foots out to search for us and they find us we spend two weeks in the pits with those creatures. In the dark and then the work with the doctors to screw our heads up more than we think is possible.” Iuan glared at the soldier handed the pass over when he noticed the soldier check it, as he looked to the young boy with him after a few moments they handed the pass back and looked to him with a smirk.

 

“Go on then and be back when your supposed to be or we will have the beasts looking for you and they find their targets.” the soldier pressed a button and the gates opened when the kids ran through.

 

“I am not coming back” Iuan whispered to his friend with a smirk

 

“You have no choice they will kill you if you don’t, we will not get far if we run.” the teen looked over for miles nothing could be seen but the vast countryside around the institutes grounds.

 

“That’s what they want you to think,, I bust out plenty of times when I was younger but dad found me. Besides I know kids who have broken out of this joint before and still on the run. Don’t let them get to you man, don’t let them get under your skin that’s how you beat them at their game and come out on top.” Iuan sighed as he looked to the waif of a child and shook his head life had kicked them both from birth he could tell the kid had the same tired look of rejection. As they walked down the road. They might have been mere teenagers but one thing they had was the weight of the world on their shoulders. A cold calculating world that no one gave a damn in helping the children but if they ran one thing remained the need for survival was strong in them both.

 

As they walked down the long desolate country road, they looked over to the building they had just left and thought about things. But started to run down the long path and out to the distance they did not know how far they could go in three hours but figured they would keep running until they found somewhere they could bunk down for a few hours.

 

“I swear that the O’ryan house is about seven miles from here, its been abandoned since the family went to Africa on some sort of mission for some big corporation.” the young boy stated as he looked to Iuan and saw him nod.

 

“I know Templeton O’ryan and his brothers, not bad kids and that house is haunted something to do with a curse.” Iuan slowed down to a steady walk and looked over for a minute as he ran his hand through his short black hair. “But Mister Jefferson wont hurt us he seems to help us kids not sure on his story though, perhaps one day we will find out.” Iuan had heard rumors but walked at a steady pace as he worked it out at the pace they was going. As they stuck to the country paths they’d not only avoid unwanted attention but would reach the house in a matter of an hour. “We head there’s food in the cupboards and drink still trust me it is all in date but there’s something I gotta do and cant take you.” Iuan smirked but knew the kid would not last on his own for long “what’s your name kid, what’s your story? Mine I got sent there for fighting and disobedience dad wants to crush my spirit but he can’t I wont let him do that.” he knew what needed to be done figured it could be done when he was on his own with the little one asleep.

 

“Tolstar it’s more of a nickname than it is anything else, my folks was used in some-sort of experiment and I was the result. Been in there since I can remember the work of the scientists don’t even know where the folks are. We get moved when the residents hit nineteen and I’m not told where to. Or even if they are alive dad got sent there by the courts and I think mom was the same not sure on that though.  I hear stories of the old ones the originals here, and those being shipped out after re-arrest.” The kid looked around the smells of the air and green grass was totally different to what he had got used to over the years.

 

“The originals you mean my time? Me, Antero and Kitto, and my gang of friends well some are still running from the flatfoots and rozzas. But they use o’ryans pad at times, especially out racing which is why there is food and we know of other places we can hunt and salvage food.” Iuan thought for a minute and knew there was bins full of food that supermarkets and shops threw food out no one wanted.

 

“Yeah your team, the soldiers talk about you all when they dragged you back the soldiers especially that Marnac was upset to see you back. But I guess that place once it has you it don’t let go right?” the kid looked over for  minute as he tried to work out why kids always got sent back.

 

“I think we have to go back a lot of us, have been shifted from one prison to the other for many years. Some get to go home but the parents send us back when we get into trouble with the authority or school boards. But this time it will be different if you want to run then you will have to learn to live on the streets, racing and fighting it is all part and parcel of life out here.” Iuan tried to think he knew it could get tough and people would be aggressive or fearful of the kids on the streets. “First thing first give me a lift up kid those clothes look like they will fit us both.” he stated as he looked over and noticed a red  soccer t-shirt and pair of black corduroys on the washing line next to a pair of black smart trousers and white shirt. “I will have the business trousers and you can have the soccer top.” Iuan smirked as he watched the kid cusp his hand together and spring him up to the wall.

 

“Damn man I support a different team,” the young boys chuckled as he supported the underdogs a team he loved since he could remember. But figured it was a forgivable act as he was now on the run from everything he knew moments later as he caught a look from Iuan who shook his head.

 

“Damn man they are crap not won the cup since the 80s, this one is far superior but heck if we all supported the same teams life would be extremely dull.” Iuan replied as he looked for a way back over and found a trampoline by the same wall he took a run and jump caught the top of the wall and spring boarded back over with the clothes “SSSSHHHIIIITTTTTT!!!!!!” he hollered as he saw a large framed man with snake tattoos going along his arms an the top of his chest along with band tattoos around his wrist and long hair wearing a leather jacket come out of the house with a large rottweiler cross. Once over the wall he glanced at his friend “NOW RUNNN!!!!!” he ordered and took off towards the hills which he figured just in the distance about two miles off course.

 

As they ran his heart beat rapid in his chest as his breathing became rapid the faster they seemed to run. Iuan looked back and could hear the dog growl and run behind them as he pulled the younger boy into a small cut out coal mine he remembered using a few times in the past and pointed straight ahead.  Iuan knew what he had to do and it would be a job he did alone, but it would be something that end up breaking his family apart right at this moment he needed to run and not let the large black and liver colored dog catch up to him it seemed to be an animal that would rip him apart.

 

“Don’t look back keep running, just keep going even if I get caught you run” He ordered and hoped the kid would do as he said and not what he did as he turned a sharp right down the main pass. The more that he ran the more he noticed his young associate fall behind but Iuan was too concerned with running and trying to get away from the dog to truly care about the young boy. Outside life was different you took care of number one on the streets unless you trusted the gang you was with the streets was rife with tales of the meat wagons. But for some reason he slowed down to a walking pace and looked back “Come on I think we lost him, lets take it slow here and walk the rest of the way stop and breathe.” he noticed the child had caught up and they must have been out of the man’s land with no sign of the dog or him.

 

Tolestar looked to Iuan with a smirk and thought things through quickly aware his friend was scared. As he placed his hand on the kids right shoulder with a smirk he nodded in a way trying to tell the kid he would be fine. In that moment the time he took to touch Iuan his mind became full of the hatred and beatings the teen had received but could not tell what would happen but the saw the struggle in the teens mind locked away.

 

“Who ever that is he can’t hurt you, not now.” Tolestar looked to his new friend as he noticed a limp.

 

“No one for you to worry about and I have a way to escape his hell.” Iuan tapped his head and the saw the kid shake his head for a minute not understanding what Iuan was on about. “In your own mind you can be anything when the doctors operate or your hit you can put yourself in the middle of an opera house singing your favorite opera or out on the motorbike cruising with your friends. Surfing the largest monstrous wave you can think of and each strike makes you wiser or reach the little pinnacle of what your doing. In your own head you are the wisest and most successful writer use the power of your imagination inside your head is the inner-temple of your own desires” Iuan smirked as he thought it might seem strange to the kid. Even Iuan had to admit at times it was hard for him to distance himself from everything but knew something had to be done to at least ease the pain.

 

As they kept walking down towards the wooded land Iuan knew he had to get in and hide with his friend he could not help but to wonder who was at the hideout. He studied the other kid while they walked toward the cabin which could be seen hidden within the woods. The boys walked through the trees and past the headless cross, a marker from the past of the building and lands or was it.

 

Iuan took note of the cross again and thought 1666 the plague that engulfed the land and many thought it to be a curse from the devil himself for their sins but was it? As the upper-classes often used the headless cross to hide their fortunes from any one who would take it. No matter what the tales was a hidden fortune or the plague no one had been brave enough to open the site of the headless cross for fear of releasing the plague.  As he crossed the land a cold chill ran down his spine and he pulled his friend into the house when he noticed a group of children sat huddled by the warming fire.

 

“Hey whose here?” he asked when he walked in and noticed a large framed teen sat back in his chair

 

“David Lloyd, Me, Colton and Casen Vaerncombe, Stuart Lucas and Kitto, Westie Mcgregor and The Turk.” Antero looked over for a minute as he threw a can of Cola to the boys “catch”

 

Iuan smirked as he caught the beer and looked back to his friends for a minute, as he pulled the ring tab on the cab and grabbed a couple of tablets from the table popping one he looked to the kid and shook his head before settling down by the fire.  He settled down and looked around for a few minutes he took in the kid in leathers with their bike helmets next to them and realized their bikes was hidden from sight, then the racers who sat in their jeans and tee-shirts with oil down the jeans. Then the girls who seemed to stretch around the house when he spotted Shane and thought for a minute as he looked over to his best friends.

 

“Your old man is out looking for you so are the flatfoots you bust out of Dark haven Institution right?” Shane asked and looked to his friend Shane handed the kid a sandwich.

 

“Yeah this is Tolestar, I need you boys too look after the kid while I am busy. Ads going to see me but it will be the last thing he ever does.” He looked over for a minute with a smirk as he stood and toyed with the large sharp bladed blue handled diamond encrusted hunting knife in his hand. As he looked to his friends for a few minutes before dropping the sandwich and heading out to his red Kawasaki ninja and kick starting his baby speeding away from the house and down the dirt track with only one intention on his mind and a job he would secure as he rode through the woods weaving in and out of the trees kicking up the dirt behind him he could sense the adrenaline surging through every inch of his body as his mind was clearer than it had been over the years.

The Redemption – Chapter Two

“Sinclair Rydderch Iuan number hu54398-shu21 come with me.” a tall oval faced long haired soldier aged around forty stated as he watched the young boy get to his feet and walk to the cell. The soldier stepped out of the way “Turn and face the wall.” he demanded watched the child for a minute to ensure the child did as ordered as Iuan walked out and stood the tips of his toes against the skirting board and his head rested on the wall. As he felt the soldier place his hands behind him and cuff them up he knew better than to argue and was not in much condition to fight with the guards at that time. As they turned him to look at them they knew he was going to be trouble. Iuan noticed two soldiers stood in front of him dressed in the black uniforms of the order guards and the others dressed in the normal uniforms.

 

”Iuan we are taking you from here to the dry shower, to ensure you are clean of mites and fleas, radiation and you will throw your clothes in the waste disposal bag handed to you.” The second soldier dressed in black stated and knew the kid had to answer.

 

”Yes sir I remember it from the last time Sir.” Iuan knew all they wanted was a yes sir as he felt one of the soldiers punch him in the stomach “Yes sir “ He growled in discontent but looked over to his main guards and then to the other base soldiers as he saw the look on their faces when he used a tone they did not like.

 

”You have been here before then you know the rules, you will answer Yes Sir to a soldier or Yes doctor to the medical teams that will be working on you. Do you understand?” the soldier growled and looked to the prisoner who had been put in privately under strict conditions.

 

”Yes Sir three bags full Sir.” Iuan started to play up he was incarcerated for six months and he would have fun giving them all a headache. No matter how much trouble he would be in afterwards as he caught the look from the lead soldier but simply gave a smirk.

 

”All right you had fun now move it Iuan down the hall and first right.” The officer growled and looked to the kid, with a smirk then back to the soldiers with him as the kid walked down the brightly lit corridor towards the end of the tunnel he did not know why but the tunnels seemed to echo their footsteps.  Even though this made him frown he thought about it for a minute. But he continued to walk down to the end of the corridor where he turned right and continued until he felt a hand on his shoulder and a soldier looking to an open door. “Five minutes in there shower and change your clothes I will be in to search you and so don’t think of doing anything stupid you have x rays and scans in half n hour to ensure you’ve not swallowed anything. “

 

”Yes sir” Iuan stripped as he entered the room and put his clothes in the bags provided. The stepped into the cubicle where he noticed an officer walk in and remove his clothes from the bins to be searched. As the water hit him hard along with the soap the wounds on his back stung as the dryer switched on moments later along with the antiseptics sprays before he was allowed out of the room.  Clean and presentable when a soldier walked in with some sort of machine in his hand.

 

”Bend over kid” the doctor stated as he put gloves on and saw the kid assume position almost instantly. The doctor started to work through the procedure to check for drugs or anything else the prisoner could hide on himself and looked to the soldier once it was over. “He’s clear half hour take him to the scans and x ray, we will take a sample of blood there and check him out properly. “ the doctor ordered as the kid was in a degree of pain through the search but took note on the orders.

 

”Can I go to the common room please?” he wondered if any of his old friends would be in the facility, or if they had been moved on like they had over the years.

 

”No your new here you know each time you come in you’re fresh meat therefore until you earn time out your in the cell. When not needed for something and no jobs are permitted to fresh meat.” A tall muscular fair haired soldier looked over and Iuan smiled recognized Trave he could never put his finger on him but he remembered when he was younger and first time in Trave was a friend and helped him get out. But he was younger then and Trave could do more for him then now he was older he could not do much for him.

 

“Yes sir I know but… It don’t matter.” he looked over for a minute and started to walk back to the cell he knew he needed to do as he was told and figured he was not needed for anything. As he walked back out of the initial engagement room and down to his cell as he walked back he could see a group of kids he knew stood talking although could not hear what they was saying he recognized the one to be Emerald Lucan one of his oldest and best friends. Secretly he hoped Emerald had got out of the facility. But at the moment Iuan was in strict isolation and moved from room to room.

 

”Lets head down to the x ray it will be half hour before the doctors see you at the rate they are working.  There’s a device all the inmates are having fitted so it wont be a straight in or out of the treatment room when your in there. We should know if your able to have it fitted or if we have to hold you under watch while your in the common room. Sorry kid it might not work for someone like you.” Trave looked to the child with a sigh as he tried to work it all out. As they walked down the brightly lit white corridors the soldiers made sure their guard was up and Iuan could not do anything with out their say so “SIT” Trave ordered as they reached the x ray department and one of the team walked to the desk to book him in.

 

”Sinclair Iuan, please follow me.”  moments later he was being called by a large framed tanned skinned doctor who looked over at Iuan as he was helped to his feet for a minute and led into a chamber. Where the soldiers removed the cuffs and helped him onto the bed strapping him back down so he could not move away.  Once this was dealt with he was flat and tight secured so he could not move a muscle as the doctor injected him with a muscle relaxant and started to put him through the cat scan and watched the images of Iuan’s brain on the screen. “All right he has a brain that’s the main thing but I can see it is healthy, although signs of ill health around the synapses some deterioration could explain his aggression and mood complaints. He will need the drugs for that and damage to the bone structure might warrant further investigation into that.” Doctor Henderson looked to Trave who seemed to be in charge of the unit at that time.

 

“I will make sure the professors are aware of that and will explore it further, as for the drugs is that something you can do? Perhaps something to help him calm down and relax more, stop him getting into trouble here.”Trave asked as he did not have a clue other than to control them by force it was the medics who knew how to drug the kids and medically restrain the children.   As he looked through the window at his team with the teenager shaking his head for a minute as he tried to think how he could help the child out.

 

”We can put him on sedatives and the old school anti psychotics given the record he has and the trouble he has got into here.  Believe there is sufficient evidence to state he has a psychotic illness rather than just being naughty.  I will prescribe them and a sleeping draft last things at night, should help you keep him under control and should help him get a better life.  You can take him to the cell now and let him rest when he can allow him to take two of these and let him sleep.” The doctor ripped the papers from the machine and attached it all the boys folder for his main professor.  As the order was given the team got Iuan free and carried him through to the cell when the doc looked to Trave. “In the morning give him 200mg of Solfolax and 50 mg of Quasmide, do that three time a day for the qyasmide and four for solfolax.” he stated and looked to the soldier for a minute as he looked over

 

“As you wish doc, I know few kids on the same drugs and will book him into one on one counseling. So they can work through what issues he has, when do you think he can start school?” Trave asked aware things could be up and down for a while.

 

”Next week he will sleep a lot between now and then, he should be stable on it by this time next week.” He smiled as he thought A lot of studies from the 20th and 21st century proved the value of human contact. If he is not behaving oddly and is in control then he will need to be given time in the common room socializing is important when children are like him.” The doctor stated as he looked to the  young man being taken out aware he was weak from the relaxants he’d been given.

 

“You have it I will ensure he has an hour mixing with the others under guard as long as the doctors are not working on him. We should have a schedule for him any day now and will let him rest until he has got used to the treatment.” Trave had been a soldier with in the facility for many years and had got to know how it worked. Even he had to admit he did not like it all that much as far as any one could see.

The Redemption – Chapter One

The sun beat down on the backs of the sports jocks dressed in the golden coloured shorts and white t-shirts. As they ran around the field practised for an upcoming inter-school competition. While another team enjoyed a game of cricket out in the large school field. While a group settled down the old dirt track which ran along the small cut, a lake which shut the school from the rest of the land. A large brown building used to be a paper mill, when a group of teens who appeared to be well dressed and neatly presented watched and laughed at the scruffy children of the lower classes.

 

Within minutes the smartly dressed teens had seen a young fair haired child, and started to jostle him around for a few minutes. Before a slim build 6ft dark haired tanned skinned man put his foot out with a smirk as he tripped him up, and watched him land in mud which made him more dirty than it did before. After the child hit the floor a group of teens kicked him in the guts although Iuan could not see or hear exactly what happened. He never did like five kids against one those was uneven odds. No matter what the fight was he did not like that, but before he knew anything he found himself in the Principals office. He lent back in his chair and thought about what he had heard, as he looked through the files and back to the parents of the teens in front of him.

 

“Why was you boys fighting? Think about your answer carefully kids.” a small stocky overweight man looked over for a minutes as he waited for one of the boys to answer aware the parents of both children was stood with them. Iuan looked over to the principal and thought for a minute.

 

”Because he was picking on other children younger than him, bullying them and beating them up. Demanding their dinner money and if they refused he’d flush their heads down the toilets but you lot did nothing about it.” Iuan sighed and looked to his friend and then back to the principal.

 

”You have no proof to say I was doing that your the one who jumped me first. Your the one who started the unprovoked attack and I was trying to pin you so you’d calm the hell down but you seem calm now. Their right you are a freak.” Templeton stated and jumped from his seat as he noticed Iuan trying to get out of his chair and over to attack him.

 

“I am bitterly disappointed in you both, Templeton I expected you to have calmed down since you was last in the hospital. I advise they deal with you, but I have no choice but to suspend you from school for three months. Depending on what your parents and doctors say.  Where as Iuan your suspended for six months perhaps that will give you time to think and above all else consider your future.” The principal was trying to be fair as he looked to the boys he shook his head he knew the school had a bullying problem but was or thought he was dealing with it. “While you boys are out of school I will be gathering evidence and if there is any signs either of you are bullying anyone I will ensure your thrown out of school. Do you understand me?” the principal growled and looked over to the slim dark haired children in front of him.

 

”Yes sir, “ the boys said and stood up as their fathers pulled them to their feet. “I will ensure they have a stern talking to and will make an appointment to see their doctor before the week is up. I apologize for my son.” the custodians stated as they went to take the kids out of the room Iuan looked to Leighton and shook his head

 

”Dad could not be bothered right, or has his arsines got too much to do for the twit of a president?” Iuan looked over aware everyone assumed Leigh was his dad or that’s how they acted Leighton shook his head as he listened to the attitude coming from the kid.

 

”Cut the attitude he is busy but he knows what you did and is not happy over it. He’s called the doc and you have an appointment this afternoon but we are going home first you can get changed pack a bag I got a feeling you wont be coming home.” Leighton stated as he knew the kid would not like that news being scared of the place.

 

The journey home was quiet as they drove through the main town and looked to the old houses and woods scattered around. Wych was a lovely quiet town many people thought it was too quiet, but it was a good place in the right sector of society which is why image was so important. After a while they climbed out of the blue Tesla car and walked into the house as Iuan walked down to the kitchen collecting his favorite knife with a dark smile on his face.

 

“IF YOUR DAD WAS HERE HE’D HAVE YOU LOCKED UP IN NO TIME! YOUR NOTHING SON, NOTHING BUT A PIECE OF SCUM ON THE BOTTOM OF MY SHOE. SCRAPING THE BARREL WITH YOUR WAYWARD DEEDS.” a six foot red haired lady with a rounded face and beautiful golden eyes stood in the large modern decorated  kitchen. While she made  rhubarb crumble as she screamed at her thirteen year old slim dark haired son who stood playing with his favorite knife and an evil glint in his eyes.

 

”Yeah well that ass ain’t here mother dear, your not going to tell him. I have gone out you do and you will learn to regret it mother. That I will promise you now, “ he turned raisin his hand and striking his younger brother he wasn’t thinking but did not care he wanted to go out and he would to enjoy himself. He was thirteen and things had changed. His dad had him in and out of secure facilities most of his life to the point he did not know when it would stop.  To him how he was acting was normal no matter what the doctors stated or diagnosed him with they were liars and bullies more than anything else.

 

”Come off it son what you hit him for now?” the lady looked to Iuan with a shake of her head and disapproving look as she went to get her youngest son to his feet and tend to the bleeding nose. She knew better than to report it to the hospital even if her husband was the head of the presidents elite service.  But Iuan just shrugged and walked away from the situation and out of the front doors before his brothers had chance to come and deal with it all. As his brothers screams got louder, Iuan ran through the streets passed cars and slipped into the darkened alley ways where he could vanish into the night and not be seen again for hours or even days. But the street kids and gangs knew all the hide outs dotted along the walk ways of the town.  Wych was a small picturesque town in the middle of Perrin woods it was a beautiful area of the local wood land with a history dating back to the Roman times.

 

As he ran through the woods and down the back alleys along the woodland trail his problems in this moment a million miles from his mind. But if that was the case why was he running?  Why was he so scared of his father? Life surely could not be that bad right? He shook his head as he thought about those questions and then tried to work it all out. He had been declared a mistake of nature a freak, an idiot above all else.

 

By a doctor De’ath that he had been sent to see under the guise of counseling after being involved in a car crash of a stolen black Austin Martin Mark 3 which belonged to the presidents fleet.  He shook his head as he tried to forget that, he could not imagine a worse place to be but the facilities which would be where he would be sent if they found him again. Those place’s scared him to death things they did to the prisoners to get them back under control were there was a time it was outlawed to do that.

 

But this was to be the start of his tale, the start of something but he did not know or yet understand what it was. Something had changed the air became charged with electricity. Something he could not understand what was going down as he stopped briefly and looked over to the old Roman fort. Which had been turned into a church he saw it glowing a bright orange halo around the building and stopped to admire it.

 

As people walked passed with out a second glance to the church, he wondered why no one was batting an eye lid. Even he knew it was not an everyday occurance that this event happened. When according to legend the building was situated on a temple of mythras a Roman god. As he shook his head he thought for a minute and figured it was an optical illusion but some how that did not fit right with him.

 

So he kept on with the run until he reached the center of the woods, and an old abandoned large black and white building which had been left to rot for many years. It was an old church with a curse attached that the dead shall rise again and destroy the who ever dared to tread upon its unholy ground. The marks of a large beast attack remained in the door. But that was the thing as he entered the church he noticed a group of fifteen children of various sizes and shapes huddle in the corner of the church.

 

He knew they was his friends he would rather be with them than at home with his controlling angry parents. Who took the chance at every opportunity to remind him how screwed up he was. Not once did they think that the work he went through at camp or the facilities could be the reason was he was messed up.

 

But they turned on his friends and him instead of seeking out the real reasons, behind him he did not want to be bad not all the time. But there was something deeply routed in him and many others he knew that made him that way.  As he stood and  looked to his friends with a smile he shook his head for a minute then worked through things he needed to think of .

 

“Hey Jerry, Michael, Wade, Shane.” he called out and took a moment as he thought about things. When he looked over to the oldest few who walked over to him they stood in front of him their arms across his chest and noticed another man stood in the corner “Hey Ant been a long time, good to see you home boss.” he smiled as he looked for Kit but could not see him he remembered the night they dragged Antero out of the family home and into the back of a truck.

 

”Don’t bother he’s not talking to anyone not even mom, something to do with some new therapy they have him on at the Institute. I hate that place always screws the inmates up more than helping them.” Kit stated and looked to his brother aware Antero should not be out of the family home at that time. When they all walked to the seats and sat down.

 

“Give the little ones time to settle down and we can watch him for a minute, I will have to take him home before the guards check his room. Mom don’t know where he’s been but dad is being a total control freak over Ant. “ D.c stated as he looked over for a minute and back to his friends as he noticed Iuan was shaking then back to the boys.

 

”What’s going on Iuan?” Kit looked to his friend curious for a minute then as he noticed the nervous look on his friends face. He didn’t know what was going on but got a feeling it was not good news.

 

“Mom and I had an argument, and I hit Justin think I bust his nose this time, I didn’t mean to hit him just got so angry with her at times and I can not hit her he was in the wrong place. So I took off and headed here, I can’t go home bro, they’ll send me back to that place again or I will do something.” he thought a minute and looked over to his best friends and the younger kids “Let me go out on a hunting squad or salvage route, I will work like the others and you know I’m good for it.” Iuan figured he’d offer something to his old unit they might let him stay.

 

“Al-right you don’t need to but you’ll have to go eventually they find you and it will be worse. But sit have a beer and smoke, perhaps we can go and see the santi’s race before you go home and I drag mister man over.” Kit smiled as he looked to his brother not talking to anyone. “You know what I guess we have to go to that place before anything gets better for us right? Before we can be who and what we are meant to be? “ Antero looked over to his friends and brothers for the first time since he came home talking.

 

“Yeah bro, but what they changing us into because it ain’t good bro, the pain we go through damn that’s something.” Iuan stopped as he knew the kids off planet was getting worse than they could, but the hatred and the feeling of being chained to the discipline was something that hounded the children everyday nightmares of the pain they was going through. “I don’t want to be like this, let alone having to huddle into this place but you boys are the only ones who accept me.” He smiled a little as he looked to the kids around him a couple of rich kids and a couple of street kids and runaways but they was all running from something and united through a strong bond of something that had happened to them. Iuan grabbed a beer as he looked to Antero.

 

”Who knows in this damned war we are stuck in but one thing I know is we will get our own back one day. I swear you that one will happen we will kick their ass but dad is stuck up the profs ass and thinking of sending mom back to the asylum from what I heard last night when they fought over me again. My damned fault bro, if I was not around dad would be better with mom.” Ant looked over for a minute and thought about it all as he looked to his friend for a minute.

 

”No bro he would be bastard anyway, he was an abusive ass when she was pregnant with me and threw her in an asylum then. But that Marnac chap she talks fondly of helped. And Iuan we are a brotherhood because of what we have gone through with the professors and demons in society.” he smiled for a minute as he thought of the times they had all stood against it all and saw the professors face full of fear he could tell the older kids remembered it just as much as he did.   Memory that seemed to give them kick of adrenaline, something sparked in them but they hated having to send Iuan back to that hell.

 

“I know bro, I just need to hang for a while and calm down before I head home.” he said as he heard his phone ring out he wanted to ignore it but took the phone out and raised his finger to his lips. “Hey dad,” he listened to the call for a second “I’m out, I know all about that father.” he took note on what his dad was saying aware the calm to his dads voice was an act “Yeah meet me out at the Bay dad, I will be there, I got to go dads meeting me he sounds calm.” Iuan stated as he looked over he did not know what he would do, or how he could get out of this as he looked to the boys and threw his coat over his left shoulder.

 

As his friends nodded and watched him walk out of the church so the trouble would not be brought back to the others, once again he found himself with thoughts which he did not like and memories but to protect his friends was his main objective. As the temper started to rise again but he needed to put the shutters up on emotions to deal with the problem.

 

As he walked through the woods and down to the coastal path towards the rocky cliffs and bay he figured it would take his dad half hour to arrive. Which would give him time to think about everything he knew, he could not get out of the doctor and the institution that he was going to. As he walked to the golden sands and sat down on the beach for a while watching the ocean slowly creep in and out as the tides natural calming magical charm washed over him and started to relax him.

 

While he waited for his father to arrive he started to enjoy the peace and quiet the only thing he heard was the birds in the sky and the crashing waves against the rocks. When suddenly the silence was disturbed by the sound of a heavy car engine which drew his attention to the road he noticed his dads car and got to his feet as the car stopped next to him.

 

“Son get the fuck in NOW.” the gray hired slim man looked over to his son with a look of hatred in his eyes “GET IN BEFORE I THROW YOU IN.”

 

Instantly the child opened the door and thought about running, as he looked to the young men in the car with his dad. He was scared enough so decided to comply with his dad and not make it worse. As he looked to his dad and put the seat belt on he felt a gun jam into his head he closed his eyes for a few minutes swallowing hard as the cold hard metal jammed into the side of his skull.

 

”Dad I’m not running tell Eric to get the gun out of my damn head,” he felt a blow to the side as his dads protection officer punched him hard.

 

”Sorry son you had a chance to behave and you failed, you had a chance to show you was better this time but you started trouble. There’s nothing we can do you going back your nothing to anyone now and your mothers given up. Eric will leave us at the hotel and then you and I will see the doctors alone in the morning.” Richard told his son and looked to him with a half smile with look of hatred in his eyes.

 

”All right dad I will be have and comply just tell him to stop pressing it into my head I got the gun one side and the window the other please.” Iuan tried to beg his dad to get them to back down as he glanced at the lock. He couldn’t help but to notice it was locked tight and he couldn’t open it. As other cars drove past them on the highway he looked to the men in the car and shut his eyes for a brief moment as he tried to force the fear he felt in that moment back.

 

Within minutes he noticed a black van with the red skull within a green triangle on the side of the van with a little red AS either side of the triangle. He recognized it as a transport the anger mixed with fear rose from deep within the child. But he had to hold the fear back he had no choice but to allow what was going to happen, to happen his fathers hotel was down the road only a matter of minutes from where they was then it would be over. As soon as they parked up the men made their exit from the car and opened the door.

 

The kid found himself dragged from the car and through to the back of the cabin when his dad took the belt off and flexed it as the others cuffed the kids hands to the study table so he could not run away. The old man prepared to hit him with the hard cold steel of the buckle bringing each blow of the belt down hard against the teens back.

 

”OWWW DAD PLEASE ARGH I’M SORRY DAD.” he cried out in sheer agony as each lash hurt and dug deeper Into his back ripping open old scars and creating new cuts. As he tried to pull away from the study table and get to his feet as he had been forced onto his knees with his head resting on the table and the constant force of the belt against the bear back.

 

“You deserve this son, you brought it on your own back now time to face the consequences of your actions.  It will teach you not to do it again, I do not care how long we have to stay here for but your not coming out. “ he put the belt to the side of him on a large wooden chest of drawers as he saw his son hold in the pain even though he wouldn’t flinch after a few minutes. Iuan found himself alone his head on the table and arms stretched out to the side as if he was bent over a cross but knelt on the floor when his father walked out of the room and turned the light off.

 

This left the teen in major pain and alone in the dark as he heard the growling of a wild animal. His dad kept locked into the cells at the back of the room, he knew the dogs had been starved and was half out of their minds to go with it. As his father mistreated them. As the saliva dripped from the gowls of the hounds mouth the snarling angry growls started to fill the room with terror as Iuan could hear them roaming in the pens.

 

He wanted to scream out to be let out of the room, but knew from experience this would not do any good and to pull free from the heavy cuffs on the special table would pull his shoulders out. But he tried and found he could not pull out of it all.  Every minute was agony as he felt his resistance waning due to the fact he was tired and hungry. As he looked over to the far wall and noticed the statue of Jesus stood straight with his arms out in front of him As if beckoning him towards the light of the lords love but in that moment he snapped and shook his head.

 

”No your the reason I am like this, your the reason I am sinning and “ the teen sighed and looked to the statute it could not be crying but then again it could be. “You are why fathers such an ass you don’t exist you can’t otherwise I would not be like this.” Iuan growled as he looked over for a minute then could be seen on his face even though he tried to hide it as the doors opened and a bucket of ice cold water was thrown at him from the door to wake him up more.

 

Than he was already as some young girl walked in and shook her head that she could not talk to him and poured salt water over his back. Every inch of him wanted to scream out in agony but he fought to retain the pain as he was left again in the room in pain, and this time cold due to the ice water.  “Damn you dad I will get even sooner than you think, “ he growled as he knew soon it would be him and his father no one else then he could deal.

 

He could look at his friends in the eyes once more and deal with the demons in the church the men, women and children who had nothing to call theirs. Was what kept him going until the moment he passed out being woken up by the rooms door slamming open a drunken man stumbling down the stairs. He could tell his father was drunk it was the main reason they left his mothers at times of punishment Iuan took a deep breathe and heard the scraping of the metal against the wood. Suddenly the pain of the metal meeting his skin and he allowed a groan out.

 

”You have no right to feel the pain, your nothing but a dumb animal back home you would be a slave or they would execute you. Look at Jesus and beg him for forgiveness, his sacrifice is wasted on children like you. He died for your sin.” The muscular man stated as he seemed to get a kick from having his son in this position. As he brought each belt down hard on his sons back he continued with the rants “You’re useless, both your mother and I regret the day you was born. Neither of us can believe scum like you can come from our lions.” the father got a kick when Iuan cried out in pain.  But could not understand why the lights was flickering with each strike of the belt which continued until the father collapsed due to the drink.

 

Early the following morning the father woke up and punched his son hard in the back several times “See what your turning me into, this is your fault and the fact your mother wants to leave me is as well.  I wish you was never born.” he stated as he released his son from the cuff a hand at a time cuffing the kid behind his back and marched to the car. Before they drove out towards a large country estate owned by the doctors and professors of Dixie Ranch Institute a private medical facility carrying out experimental procedures into criminality in young teens and children.

 

They both sat perfectly quiet on the journey as the boy was too scared to say anything and could barely move as he was secured tight. As they drove out along the country roads, and trees seemed to wiz past. But time seemed to stop or at least slow down until they hit the final stretch of road, and a large black and white building appeared in front of them. Iuan watched at his father waved the paperwork at the security and drove through to the bay he was to park in.  Once it was parked up Iuan’s door was opened by a tall dark haired soldier who seemed to have muscles everywhere and red eyes.

 

”OUT THE CAR SON AND GO WITH THE SOLDIERS, I WILL SEE YOU IN SIX MONTHS.”  he growled and watched the soldiers take Iuan out then walk him away to the block he would be in for the next few months with no visitors which was not permitted once you dropped the child off you walked away and collected at the end of their time in the facility

 

. No news came from the staff but the old man watched his son being dragged away and could hear the refusal from his son but knew there was nothing he could do as Iuan walked with the soldiers.  And into the building as the doors shut behind them Iuan walked down to the main isolation cells and was shown his cell. Which was a small 6 x 5 cold concrete room, with a small hole in the wall to allow in the air.  Once in they remove the cuffs and walked away from the room slammed and locked the door behind them.

 

Iuan found himself slammed back into the dark pit of hell, as he looked around the bare room and knew it would be hard work and painful for him.  As he sat and looked at the clothes wondered what would happen as he hadn’t been in for a while as the pain and fear flooded back as he sat contemplating everything.

The Redemption – Introduction

 Everything seemed normal with in the cold world people lying out on the streets known as rough sleepers or the nomads people who did not have any home to call there own. which meant they was easy prey to the young gangs who ran the streets. The worst of these was the Equinox gang who did not care who or what the person was they was always prime target.

 

In the late 20^th century society became uncontrollable as long as the streets with in the city had become run by the gangs over seen by one larger darker organization. The police all too often found themselves engulfed by the amount of work as many had turned their back on the work and could not be bothered to focus on the paperwork which often needed to be done in triplicate and the creation of private mercenary style forces soon came into existence.

 

Many punishments and treatments ceased improvement as work was done to try and help people and stop re-offending. Few organization wished to work with children and teens found guilty of belonging to the gang that ran the streets. The life of the Equinox organization started in the 1980s and by the 2010s it had spread and joined other smaller gangs as well as sprung many sectors of the boys through allegiances.   This tells the story of one child on his journey through the darkness.

WHAT’S GOING ON??

 

A lot has happened to me since my last personal post, I have moved many miles from where I lived this was due to running from domestically violent household with someone who thought it was okay to rape me, threaten & control me when he wanted. Sure when I was younger I was stupid  I screwed up much of my young life, trouble with the law drugs and drink basically I made a total twit of myself.  What else will you do if you don’t have the importance of good life,  good upbringing, people who believe in you. People who say its possible to change I remember no one had faith in me,  as no one had faith I did not see the point in myself, no one thought I would do anything other than cause trouble, My life would never mount to anything. my confidence had become low, motivation was non-existent when i was in my teens even to my late 20s.  Of course I’d miscarried by fourteen and  mum by twenty six, When I was eleven to sixteen I loved being out with my boyfriend Rob was his name we used to hang on the park doing everything possible to escape my life.  I ended up bouncing from home to home, job to job even being unemployed for years living on the streets well church graveyard. I had ambitions, plans but continually heard they would not happen and I was wasting my time.

So I never had anyone to tell me you know what sure you messed up but look this is possible. You have the ability to do everything you would like to set your mind to it and you’ll succeed.  Well since coming to my new home I’ve met people who believe in me. People who told me how much I have improved in confidence over the past few weeks. It’s hard to think that someone telling you that you count for something, would boost you that your belief that your just a screw up, and you’ve fucked up your life is wrong.   The past four weeks I have been on a course which aimed to boost my confidence, improve my sleep, learn healthy eating, relaxation plus many other things. Everyone ended our final course with how well I’m doing which gave me the much needed boost. I realised many things since being in this city, somewhere I know no body the main thing is I need to do things to make me proud of myself. I don’t need to care what others think of me, but my plans can come to fruition with hard work and dedication.  So recently I’ve gone from 27 units of alcohol in one day to 22units in a week, with intention for bringing it down even further next week.

Drinking is common coping mechanism when you have been through 20 years of hell. I’ve learnt that it is common for any one running from what I have, you know what I can tell you this above everything else I’ve learnt how to believe in me, the most important thing  I can do. You see Domestic Violence / Domestic abuse / Coercive Control strips the person of everything they have, so the first step is rebuilding myself from inside out. But know what I need to say this to everyone out there, if you have been involved in gang crime, knife crimes, gun crimes, in trouble with the law, been on drugs or alcoholic, mentally ill or simply lost your way. If this is because no one has given you  chance or crushed every dream you have had. Told you your worthless, never mount to anything, your wasting your time or you’re a worthless piece of shit.

 

Nothing can be further from the truth, I screwed up my youth and therefore remember the feeling of handcuffs, I remember the sensation of being in the police cell, even remember the feeling I got going through  booking in with in the police station. No one was there for me to steer me in the right direction, I remember threatening the police to throw them off bridges, through windows just like I did workers with in the hostel I once lived. The feeling of carrying the knife, sleeping with it under the pillow, even the feeling of using it. How it felt to smoke the weed and other drugs I took, being nicked for drunk & disorderly amongst other things.  I remember being threatened with CS spray, but now I’m rebuilding my life proving that I’m able to do better. I will do what I want to in this life with sheer hard work and a new found determination.   I don’t just think I can I know I can improve myself and rebuild who I am and what I was into who I want to be.

Just like I know everyone else with a bad past can do the same, I believe and have faith in your if no one else will. Because if I can turn my life round then trust me anyone can with the right support anything is possible. I have to rebuild from the inside out but im going to courses through Mind which is a mental health charity to regain my confidence & self esteem, motivation, help me deal with my anxiety & relaxation, I’m aiming to do one in regards to dealing with conflict. I’m going to CGL to help recover from the alcohol from this I hope to become a peer mentor, then study to be a specialist in this field but I would like to help other charities such like Valley House, Mind and the SVP Saint vincents de paul society and give tlks on the issues I have gone through in my life.  As for the books I’m currently writing a 40 poem chapbook, as well as being 65,937 words into a scifi novel. I’m also in the process of the planning a series of books on the subject of knife crime, gun crime, gangs, among other aspects of my youth.

DO I REGRET IT???    

Yes I do in some instances i wish i could take it back, see from the moment I pulled the knife on the kid when I was younger I changed.   My life took a wrong turn onto a bad road I wish i could take back the control earlier, there’s not a day I dont have nightmares about my life or what happened to me due to my ex.

I will post again next week on wednesday.

BETWEEN A ROCK AND HARD PLACE……

The moon was high in the sky as everyone filtered through the school which seemed busier than anyone expect. The night was a celebration not only the schools sport teams had a successful season two of the best player Taylor and Charles had been touted and chosen to further their education in their chosen sports.  But this Valentines day both Sunita and Taylor mere children in the eyes of the law. As he went down on one knee and looked at his girl with a smirk as he pulled a box out of his pocket “Baby we’re finishing school soon and have our baby boy you have made me the happiest kid in the world will you do me the honour of marrying me?” Taylor did not care in that moment that his friends and teachers were watching.

Most likely shaking their heads, seventeen and already a father of a handsome two-year-old child who seemed to be full of life that night.  A child who meant the world to his parents, a child who brought light into their lives. Since the day of the child’s birth Taylor striving to do better than he ever had in the past. Taylor’s grades hit the straight a’s, and a boy popular with in the team.  That moment they looked to each other and smile as she nodded. Both of them laughed at the way Avallech and Iuan was dancing but he looked to his love with a tender smile as he kissed her lovingly on the lips.

 

“Yes baby I would be honoured.” she looked over for a minute and back to his friends with a smirk as he got back to his feet. No matter how good they both felt nothing could remove the pain everyone felt for the teens in hospital and those who died earlier in that day.  The shooter was a boy the two teens had grown up with since nursery, but neither recognized how distant the child had become.

 

“I had fought a few times with that shooter when I was younger in the caves of skulls and raced a few times.” He stated as he walked from the school his young son in his arms sleeping.  After the events of the day Taylor looked at his son and was even more proud of the little boy when he put the toddler into his car seat.. As Taylor put the key in the ignition and drove from the school. He needed to take Sunita and his son home back to her parents. But noted that she looked over to him with a smile and ran her hand through his hair with a smile.

 

“Hey come on baby no one was to perceive he would flip like that.” Sunita looked with a warm smile and the caring deep set baby blue eyes.

 

“I can’t help reflecting that I missed something. Something that might have stopped this. I realize his old man pushes him past his limits all the time, in the aid to be the best and fastest at everything he did.  But he could not beat me out there on the track or in my car while racing. but something is not right about this.” Taylor looked over for a minute puzzled but focussed on his speed.  He prided himself on being the safest driver in town when he had his son in the car. Even his phone was left as he would arrive in one piece nothing would hurt his kid.  Not if he could help it even though he detected slight tension in the steering he expected nothing about it as he continued to drive.  ”

 

“I guess..” she looked to him and sat back for a minute, in her chair. As she looked at a black car pull up alongside of the car, she shook her head. “I understood you was getting out of it, what the hells going on?”   she was not sure but could see the tint in the windows. As it opened and acknowledged Taylor speed up to get away from who ever it was.

 

” JUST SHUT UP IT DON’T MATTER. He looked back their baby?” Taylor asked and looked to his best friend and lover but watched the black car. Which was now tailing them as they could not get to the side of the car.  Taylor took his eyes off the speedometer and focussed on the road and the men following as he looked at a red lotus pull up besides his car.  “I SWEAR TO GOD I HaVE NOTHING RANDY,” Taylor shouted out to the other car aware who it was but not willing to stop. As he recognized a cop sat with his old friend as he maintained the speed and follow on the road.

 

” JUST PULL OVER AND WE WILL TALK,” a voice came over the phone. As Sunita switch it to hands free when Taylor swerved to avoid another car and trying to get up in front of the lotus.

 

”baby do what they say, you will crash please.” Sunita was scared but trying to hold it together. She appreciated the boys raced, and he was the best driver in town but the speed coupled with the drinks he’d had she knew a crash was possible.

 

”talk you mean beat a false confession out of me for nothing ass. I don’t know what the hell happened. why he did that perhaps the drugs you gave him ass-hole,” he argued and would not stop as he dragged the car around the bends. Soon the land filled with sound of police sirens of the local bear. The last thing he thought of at that minute was the cops chasing him and Randy he was not stopping for anyone.

 

As the adrenaline of the fast speed and the fact he wanted to get away from the men hit harder than anything else in that moment.  Even the screams of his girl to stop ad slow down paled in that moment everything became a blur as he hit 100mph almost willing his car to go faster.

 

After a while its hard to tell what was the path and the road. But a bang loud enough to send him out of the trance state he had found himself in. Moments later the cops pulled up alongside the perp and then steered his front bumper into the Taylor’s car along the side and near the back, just behind one of its rear wheels. A combination of the speed of the car and the actions of the cops the black supped up Honda into a spin and landed upside down. Then everything turned black for minutes nothing but pitch black and dead silence.

 

Randy drove off and left the car upturned and the police arrived at the scene.  Taylor woke up and heard people shouting for him to respond. One voice his fathers but in that instant he’s unable to make out what his old man said.  The pain was all he could feel and something damp running down his head, he must have slipped in and out of consciousness for a while.  The next thing he’s aware of waking up in hospital with his father sat next to him he became numb as he lay there without knowing how long it had been since they dragged him in.

 

“It all depends on the kid if he remembers anything when he wakes up. Then it will help us determine what happened, but I can say if the police didn’t act. A simple misjudgement of the cop that baby and a young girl would be alive today.” the doc stated to a man even though Taylor’s awake he wasn’t taking anything in as he looked to his father he didn’t know what to expect but scared as the medics worked on him removing what they needed to and making him comfortable.

 

After days of lying on the bed and not listening to anyone many days later he listened to the police and heard it was his fault the crash happened and the police was clear of trouble but that no one would press charges on the teen. He just lay staring at the ceiling not talking to anyone about anything. “where are my son and Sunita? i want to see them.” he asked and looked to his dad.

 

“Son they died in the crash, she died two days after the accident and Little deputy died on impact. I’m sorry son you need to remember that, they have gone but I want to know what happened out there?” Frank asked as he looked to his son and saw the kid defeated and not moving he’d given frank.

 

“Hey Tay, they all miss you at school and dads gunning for the cop who clipped you.” the kid looked over to Taylor who stretched out on the bed. Even after many days of lying on the bed, he noticed a friend of his walk into the room and looked over for a minute as he frowned at the jersey.

 

“hey, ” the life had gone from the kid after the crash, “I realize they are both dead don’t look at me like that.” he growled as he looked to Colin Westmoor.

 

“hey, I don’t mean any offence but this is not you bro.  She’d want you up and walking about I recognize it’s hard but I wont giving up on you. No, now never she was my sister, and the best darn thing to happen to you.” Colin tried to get his friend moving but could see he was still sinking into the pit sunita’s worried about for so long.

 

“My fault she died, I should have gone with her.” Taylor stated and got to his feet it was a miracle he wasn’t paralysed but for some reason he spared that fate. as he stood up next to the bed and held onto it to steady himself so he could walk a little more and wanted home he could recover there. “Bring me my Jersey unless the cops have it for evidence or something, they’ll charge me for something.” Taylor recognized the cops would investigate the crash and events that led to the crash but for now he had a little leeway.

 

“You won’t get out man there’s cops stationed outside the room and out in corridor. According to dad the only reason you’re not cuffed to the bed is because you’re in a bad way and could not walk five yards without help right now.   But man you have to tell them what happened, dads trying to get you home to recover during the investigation he’s dragging in some hotshot from Washington to help.” Arturo looked at his friend and saw him trying to walk the pain in his eyes of everything that happened. But he needed to keep going and with help from his friend he learnt to take a few more steps unaided as a doctor brought a wheelchair for him he pushed it away not wanting to sit down with this said the kid walked away aware his time was up when the cop called him.

 

Every day Taylor pushed himself as his school friend came to see him and his family visited when they could the more he listened to the nurses and doctors along with the detectives he learned that they charged him for several crimes ranging from drink driving, driving under the influence of drugs and alcohol and manslaughter with speeding. He’d not allow himself to break as he pushed himself to get better as he looked over for a minute and walked to the door.  Only for the officer on the outside of the room to stand up and shake his head “Sorry kid my orders are to keep you in there till the doc says you can move.” he stated and looked over to Taylor who punched the wall harder than he had in a long time losing his temper at being locked up but tried to keep it locked up.

 

“All right kid calm down lets get you back to the bed and rest for a minute.  It must be hard on you kid just settle it’s been a few months since you came in ,” the cop stated as he helped the kid to his bed for a minute and would check on what needed done as Frank and Slade walked to the boys room with a smile.

 

“he gives you agro Francisco, ” Frank smirked “Hey son your coming home doc said you can come back to physiotherapy but you need to keep working on what is what with your health. Talk to us tell us what happened, then we can help you out.” Frank smiled at his son and tried to work it all out for a minute but was drawing blanks all they identified was his son was driving and blood work showed he had been drinking and showed drugs in his system so the crash was Taylor’s fault.

 

“Not using it, don’t need that dad I can walk. I’ve been working hard since you came last. Arturo Sunita brother has been here every day and pushing me dad. It’s okay you have work and with me in trouble you can’t interfere dad I have but Sunita dad got me a counsel.” Taylor looked at the chair and shook his head as he ran his right hand through his hair and looked away he did not want the chair but knew he might have to as he saw doc Hunter in the door.

 

“Hospital policy how about I push you or run through the hospital kid.” Damarian smirked aware the kid did not like to take things easy but pushed himself to the max and beyond in the hospital fitness centre.

 

“All right, I got no choice but I’m not resting at home doc I will walk it next time.  the sit-ups and press ups along with walking heck i will run next time you see me boss.” he smirked at Slade and Damarian for a minute as he walked through everything he knew he could do it but he did not deserve to breathe the air or anything when his girl and son had died.  That was the black cloud hanging over his head he felt one day it would break wide open, just that what would be a reaction to the largest storm he had on the horizon no one knew would it go all right or something go wrong that was something was answered.   He sat in the chair deciding to comply and chuckled when Damarian  ran through the hospital towards the exit leaving Frank behind them both to catch up as they reached Franks car.

 

“Now how are you doing?” Damarian smirked for a minute and looked around ensuring the coast was clear of trouble.

 

“Not too bad but still quicker walking your a little slow in your old age.” Taylor smirked. As Frank walked to the car and opened the door for his son who just got in the car and thought about that night. But buried it down deep and didn’t let the men see how he felt the pain and anguish buried deep deeper than he ever thought it had been buried.  As he heard the door slam shut he jumped and just heard “all right calm down son, we will be home soon.” Frank said and could tell his son’s still shaken and it surprised him he held it together.

 

After a few minutes the car started and Taylor took notice of the way they was driving past the site of the crash many months before.  As he noticed the turn and the damage still there, he saw the broken up car and his family trapped in the car it was as clear and vivid smells the screeching of the tires was crystal clear like he was reliving the events again. Within half hour they was back home and parked outside the family home.   He stepped quietly from the car not saying anything as he looked to his little sons play pit which had been filled in and covered over with sunitas favourite flowers.  He stood next to his fathers Pontiac with a smirk, but he looked to the flowers and closed his eyes for a minute. when it felt as if the floor had opened and swallowed him whole. his heart dropped through the floor when he saw it and the sudden release of emotions hit home hard but he fought to lock it up and not show he was breaking he had to be strong he had to be the man everyone knew before the accident.

 

He walked to the house and in he could see his cousin Trey who was a few years younger than him stood talking to his best friend, and the smile on Trey’s face when he noticed him registered it seemed like a lifetime away as he walked into the decorated hall.    The more he walked into the family home the more it seemed a daunting thing to do he could not remember everything about the house.  But he tried to stay calm as he walked to his room and just lay there for a while he was not in the mood to join the family for anything as he picked up one of his sons teddy bears and just looked at it.

 

After a while he heard his door being knocked as his kid brothers walked in and looked to him for a minute then looked around the room as they looked to the trophies on the wall.  Hunter picked the largest one he could find and looked at it for a minute.

 

“Bro what the hell are you doing? I want to be alone, bro. You know on my Frick own” Taylor snapped as he looked to his kid brothers. They jumped and looked over for a minute.

 

“Damn it Taylor, we thought you’d like  company we missed you bro.” Hunter retorted as he looked at his brother aware that none of them could see him in the hospital.

 

“I’m sorry bro, I don’t know how long I was away for but it was Christmas, when I crashed out,  Hunter I don’t know what to think about any of it. what has been happening at school?” he looked to his brother worried aware it would impact them all and as the oldest he was supposed to protect them from the shit that was happening not get them involved.

 

“We been worried bout you and I still have a few races bro dads not happy but he been more concerned with your situation.   School a few kids started on us was calling you name and said they hoped you rotted in hell and being nasty to these twos but Seth and nick and sorted it out.” Hunter stated aware that Taylor did not know gourdin and Teague.

 

“I’m sorry you got a tough time I will be back at school soon, mum and dad can’t keep me off due to the investigation. That’s unless Mr Copeland and his team boot me out which would be rare they’d have me locked in secure during the cops work.  There’s no telling what will happen but they want anyone then they can come for me I’m looking at being away for a long time, bro. ,” Taylor told his kid brother aware if he was to be sent to prison then he would serve at least twenty years but he missed his girl and son. He wanted to be with them he looked to his brothers and could see the fact they was tired even though no one dared tell their father what was happening.

 

“Hey man, how’s the junior cops going?” he smirked at his cousin for a minute.  When he looked over to his cousins friends After a few minutes of the boys crowding in his room he walked out and back down the hallway to the kitchen looked to Trey.

 

“Yeah hilarious man, you need to face off the horror of what you did before coming all high and mighty with me.  She was a good kid one of the best and I hope they throw the book at you. Bray come over here bro and out of his way the boys are right, he’s not someone to be trusted.” Trey was angry over what happened and knew with the old’s around no one could touch his cousin no matter how much he wanted to ram Taylor’s head through a wall.

 

“Yeah tight man, time for you to grow up that was not my fault but I can’t fucking say. the bloody cops rammed the car and send us flying nothing to do with my driving. I swear Trey on my kids grave I would never set out to hurt them, I loved that kid still do.” he stated and walked out in a mad rage to find somewhere he would be away from the olds watching him and the hassle he had coming from his cousins and brothers he knew Sunita and his son was loved by all the family. At this moment he felt as if he was on his own as he walked through the streets towards the stretch of wastelands they used for the dirt bikes.

 

The sound of the howling wolves ran through the air. As motorbikes screeched past him as he pulled the collar of his jacket around his neck and balled his fist’s into a ball in his pocket.  The cool kid a sport jock with everything going for him, a man aiming for sports scholarship’s now found his life hitting the bricks as the cold bitter world hit him harder than anyone thought it could.  Taylor kept walking and looked over to a small group of kids, but instead of heading to his friends he walked towards a dark alley where a small rat looking kid was hanging on the crossroads which had become known as the gateway from one territory to another.

 

”” Hey Manny, I need something to.” Taylor looked over to his oldest friend as they brought their fists together.

 

” I got just what you need, “Manny reached into his pocket and pulled out a see through bag containing a white powder. “ Coke and on the house man, I think you need it a damn sight more than me.” he smirked it had been a while since Manny dealt anything to the kid in front of him.

 

“Cheers man remember you need to get the old man off your back I will do it holler. He doesn’t know I’m out here,” Taylor smirked with a smile and chuckled for a minute as he looked over to his friends.

 

“Heck ol’e frank is no sweat man, he’s a good guy known him all me life ya know.  As for pop he’s an ass like the rest of my family but he loves us kids,  mom needs medical help still but you got that sexy doc to help and save ma’s life man I owe you for that.”  Manny settled back for a minute and rested against the wall a small rat like man, with short brown hair dressed in clothes which are too big for him.

 

“That was nothing, ” Taylor crouched down in the alley remembering when he found the kids mom out cold on the stone floor by the sewer pipe the family was living in. As he prepared the drug and snorting the drug.  As he sat back and waited for it to take effect he looked over “Um head to the shop and grab the jack man I need a drink make it four bottles Manny.” he stated and pulled his wallet out aware he could trust the kid to do as he asked him to within minutes he was alone.

 

The event of that night running through his mind as the effects of the drug took hold, and he rested. Over time the feeling of serenity kicked in and he was feeling human for the first time since the accident.  As he walked around and pace the ground a little more than before with a smile which stretched from ear to ear.  When Manny walked back for a minute and then over to his friend.

 

“You’re looking happier since I last saw you, here I got what ya ordered and ya old man is out hunting your ass. he was not happy but I told him i not seen you, but you will be fine and if I do, then I’m to call him and get ya ass home.” Manny stated as he opened a bottle of jack for the kid thinking it wouldn’t hurt him to have one after everything he had been through.  Taylor took the bottle with a smile and gulped the contents of the bottle down as he felt the burn of the whiskey hitting his throat he was drinking to forget and that was what he did.  He did not know how long he had been out there for as he kept drinking bottle after bottle and picking fights with the passers by who just shook their heads and made remarks he was hardly listening to until he passed out in the streets.  And walking home in the early hours of the morning listening to the early morning bird songs as he walked in.  He looked over to his father and uncle for a minute.

 

“Where the hell have you been son? and don’t lie.” Frank glared at his son for a minute and then to Trey who stood next to the door everyone knew it would be hard for him to settle back and get back to normal life with everything going on around him.

 

“I went out for  a walk and drink, needed to be alone and think. Now I’m off up to bed then I might go out later and check out school.  ” he thought he could do everything needed of him and bury his head in the natural course of life. As he walked to his room, not taking any notice of what his dad was saying then lay on his bed for a minute closing his eyes as he came down from the cocaine he took and knew he had a stash on him as he settled back.  Over time he drifts into a light sleep and every day it was the same as he walked through to events that life threw at him as he fell deeper and deeper into a drink stupor days past without him even thinking about it let alone noticing the passing time.  With each day he fell into a deeper pit as he drank and high no matter how his family and friends tried to save him from his own actions it became apparent he needed help.

 

“We give him one more chance he’s not done anything to hurt anyone.” Taylor’s mother looked to her husband and knew that Frank was probably getting a lot of pressure from his Captain.  But so far their son had not given them any reason to send him away it was something they would deal with it as a family.  As Trey ran into the family home before his father had chance to answer worried and scared written all over his face as the young teen looked to his parents out of breathe .

“Dad….Hunters unconscious over at rykers park he tried to stop Taylor whose over there about to fight Anderson and the gang. They called him out and his high on something we don’t know what but the rum ors are going around this is going to kill him dad.” Trey looked to his dad and cousins as they all ran for the park, their hearts felt as if it would jump out of their chests as they seemed to be running but not getting far although they reached the park and could see Taylor was out numbered nine to one.

 

Taylor stood in the field his shirt off as the moon shone down on the scars left from the accident spanned across his torso, and down his back no one knew the damage it had caused him as people looked over to him.

 

“Come on baby, he’s not worth it. he’s a dead man walking and he knows it.” A tall petite red haired lady stated and looked to Taylor with a smirk aware that something would happen. The red haired girl known as Alicia to everyone hoped the boys would back down and leave the kid alone aware he was a cops son.

 

“I DIDN’T DO IT I’M INNOCENT, JUST LIKE YOU AND HE’S GUILTY HE WAS THERE RANDEL.” he shouted at the top of his voice. But ready to fight if he needed an excuse it was the death of his family. Honestly he did not need a reason to fight. As he looked to everyone for a few minutes. But the one he wanted to fight the man who made his blood boil was stood in front of him. Instantaneously he charged at Randell fists flying hitting out targeting his head and chest. as he aimed kicked his opponents knees and took Randell off his feet. The air seemed to be charged in that moment with electricity and the adrenaline surged through his body as he punched and kicked the young man.

 

“YOUR GOING TO PAY, I WILL KILL YOU FOR WHAT YOU DID,” Randell looked to his friends and within minutes the others joined in the fight. As they  held Taylor tight and pinned him so that the others all had a chance in beating him up. “this is for Sunita and the child you murderous bastard, ” one man growled as they all ganged up on the kid who in that moment felt as if he could take them all on and would win. He did not care as he fought out harder than he had ever before as fists were flying into Taylor’s head and chest. As he struggled to fight against the mob who was trying to take him to the ground seeing Martinez and Lopez. Within the crowd suddenly splitting off when Trey and Leighton along with frank ran over to help Taylor out of the fight.

 

“All right get off him, before you all find yourselves under arrest now move it.” Leighton growled as he was pulling children off his nephew and looked back to his brother. As they found themselves having to save Taylor from a group of teens baying for his blood.  They got him out of there frank looked to his boy as he had him pinned to the floor.  As Taylor was in a mad rage fighting out at everyone in his way but he refused to say anything.

”All right son calm it down now, what’s going on?” Frank asked as he looked to his son while pulling cuffs out and securing him tight.

 

“It hurts dad get the cuffs off me NOW!” he frowned a little as he tried to pull away but couldn’t.

 

“Son slowly onto your knees and I will help you get up I will let you walk if you calm and stop fighting us.” Frank stated and knew it would be hard for him calm down but the kid did as he was ordered to.

 

“Dad they deserved it, It was them or me old man now let me go.” Taylor walked back with his dad the inner fight still going on as he heart was racing and he’d started to sweat profusely. As he started to shake a lot more than usual with the effects of the drugs he had been taking away from his family.  As they walked back all he could think of was what happened that night and the pain his actions had caused everyone as they walked over the green fields he could tell no one was happy with his actions.

”Son you will be lucky if they don’t press charges and If they do then we can say it was self defence. I will call Mr Talbot later and see what we can do about it, nine against one we could say he was set up? It was self defence given the number of kids that he was fighting.” Frank stated to Leighton aware this could go against him and the investigation into the death of the girl.

her concern but the thing is the old man isn’t pressing charges. All they have him on realistically is the DUI. We will sort it Frank.” Leighton stated and helped get his nephew back to the house and out of the cuffs once he was in.

”Now your grounded for a while, let me see how I feel in the next month.” he smirked and saw the disapproval on his face.

”But dad that not right I just got home so have to spend time with the boys I need to get back to normality dad. “ he was angry but kept mindful of who was around him aware he needed to sleep it all off before he got any more trouble as they walked him to his room to lie down for the night.

 

As fell into a drug induced sleep he allowed himself to drift into a deep sleep and waking up screaming as the events that robbed him of his family hit home. Even his sleep he was unable to escape from the events of that night every aspect played out in techni-color with surround sound as if he was watching it on play back.  When he woke up in a cold sweat the sheets soaked through with sweat and tears as he lay quietly sobbing into his son favourite blue and white teddy bear.

 

 

Taylor could never understand how he could remember the night so clearly but the effects of the crash took away a lot of his other memories. As he lay on the soaked sheets the event replayed on his mind from the issues with the steering through to Randell there was something amiss with it all but he had to hold onto the fact there was no charges to be put against him.that was something he had to think of during his long road of recovery.  He would get even with his rivals as he thought everything through for a minute, with a shake of his head he got to hi feet and walked to the en suite shower in his room.

 

As he stood in the shower allowing the hot water run down his over his shoulders and down his back for a minute. As if washing his sins away his family did not know the torment the anguish as he washed and scrubbed up.  Before he walked out off the shower to get changed into clothes for school that day, walking through to the kitchen when he noticed everyone sat around the large oak table he counted eight heads around the table in that moment as his mother walked over to him with a smile.

”Morning son come and eat, I made your favourite.” a tall blond haired lady walked over with a warm smile as she looked to her son she could see the pain but stayed quiet “If you need to talk we are here, always will be.”  she looked over to him with a smile no one knew what to say and trey looked to his cousin as he realised that his cousin was going through hell.
”What about there funeral mom?” Taylor asked as he did not know if he had missed the funeral or not through being asleep or in the hospital but noticed a tall dark haired muscular man look over.

”You missed the funeral son, that happened two months ago you was in the coma back then.  We could have lost all of you back then, its going to be hard son but we will help you through it all I swear. We can see about taking you to the grave and we have to talk to the captain down town see if your facing charges.” Frank stated he’d planned on taking his son into work to face the boys after school if he had chance. But was aware that the boys at school would of heard about the charges if anything was to be laid against his son.
