Protector of Aura

Chapter 7: Why me?

Third-person POV

As Aaron pushed himself onto his knees, he could see Gary standing over him. It was weird, for the first time since they met. He felt kind of scared looking at him.

"Gary, what the hell was that for?" Aaron said in an annoyed tone.

"Shut the hell up, you freak!" said Gary as he walks up to him and kicks him in the face causing Aaron to be sent back to the ground.

"Gary! Stop! What are you doing!?" yelled Autumn and the rest of the group who arrived behind him.

"You have no idea how dangerous this FREAK is, he could possibly kill us all at any damn moment if it isn't kept in check!" he said while spitting on top of Aaron.

"Gary! What the hell are you doing?!" said Dom angrily at Gary.

"Yeah, you never told us about this!" yellow of Manveer.

Aaron had struggled back onto his knees looking up at Gary and his friends with blood coming from his mouth and nose, but also tears slowly falling down his face. He didn't want to believe it.

"G-Gary, wh-what the hell are you doing? Said Aaron with great struggle.

"Shut it freak!" screamed out Gary as he swung another kick at Aaron's face, blood splattering from his mouth.

"Gary! Please! stop this, he's our friend. guys stop him!!" Begged Autumn to both Gary and the group, but that didn't stop Gary from continuing to pound Aaron. All they could do was stand there in shock.

Both Gary's fist and Aaron's face grew redder and redder.

"Why the hell do you care about this freak huh?" he swung again, sending Aaron back to the floor.

Thud!

"He's dangerous and this is the only way to make sure he doesn't try anything!" he yelled back at Autumn and the group as he went for another punch. His fists were dripping in blood now.

"And Autumn you think I would never"

Aaron felt it.

"Be friends!"

He couldn't hold it back anymore.

"With a FREAK like him!" Gary yelled as he swung down towards his head only to be sent back several metres by a powerful shockwave from Aaron in defence.

The shockwave was so powerful that it sent everyone except Autumn flying back. The Logs that they would spend hours upon hours on were in pieces. The green grass was now burnt and ripped from the ground.

Gary then got back onto his feet, now furious.

"You see!! Now, do you see how dangerous he is and why we can't just be all nice!"

At this moment they looked at Aaron in horror and all the destruction around and had come to understand that Gary was sadly correct.

Dom was the first of them to get back up and walked up to Aaron. Looking up at Dom with tears filled with sadness, guilt, anger, frustration, disbelief. He hurt them, he felt exactly like what they used to call him.

"Dom, I'm sorry," said Aaron while crying.

"Me too," is all Dom said before sending a punch right into Aaron's face and smashing him into a tree.

As the minutes went by more and more of his friends joined in, increasing the pain both on his body and spirit each time. They showed no mercy, sending smashes to his face, stomping on his body, swinging branches at his legs, sending him flying into the nearby trees, and more.
