Sometimes I watch time pass and I just observe, but I was not ready for the thing that happen in that day. My name is Edward “Dark” Alexander, i don´t like my first name so people start calling me Alexander, even my teacher, I live with my mom, my father died in the war 2 years ago, my mom receive some money but it’s not enough for both of us, so I start to work while I study, I have 19 years old, my hair is black and long, like gothic, but I just a normal kid, my face is normal I guess, girls say I’m handsome but I ignore, I’m thin and sometimes e use glasses, that´s it.
Friends, none, enemies a lot, I ´m bullied at school, a bunch of guys have jealous of me, I don´t even know why, but they don´t need an excuse to beat me. I hate Los Angeles, crap town, shit people, and places. Sometimes I want to have my own world. And that day I think I win the world.
It was 4 pm and I was coming home, I notice something was strange, but with my music up I keep walking, always with an empty look and a pallid face. Then I figure it, a black van was following me, I see it throw the screen of my phone, I start to walk faster to get home quick but the van was always behind me, “shit” I think, so I turn and take an alley, my grandpa was teach me free run , or parkour. Yes I know what you think, how could a old man teach parkour to a boy, simple, he just show me what to do and made me repeat more than 100 times each exercise. So I learn flips, climbing, wall run and all possible shits, but no one knows about that. Since nobody was there I have no choice and I run, jump from walls to walls, climbing alley and running. But the van was always waiting for me. “For fuck sake”.
I need to be more faster, but I wasn’t seeing my way and I end up in a small park, and in front of me where the bullies of my school.
“Where you going Alexander?”
That was Michael, the leader I tall guy with muscle, blonde hair and green eyes, always using fancy clothes, since his parents were rich.
“I need to go to other place, sorry for the disturb.”
I wasn’t looking for trouble, but sometimes I think the trouble is after me.
“Wait a moment, I need some money, can you give some?”
Good, always the money, but I didn´t have none.
“Sorry Michael I don´t have money”
“What?!”
“It´s true believe me”
“Bring me the money”
The other 5 guys start walking into my direction, and from the corner of my eye I could see the van. Shit, I just love my luck. But I didn´t have time for that, if I could pass them and follow my way home that would be great. So I start running the other way and the guys where right behind me, I need the escape so badly that I didn’t realized that I was running to the van. “Ho c’mon” but it was too late one of them throw himself to my legs and we both fall in the dirt. I try to get up but the other guys surround me and start beating me. But only for 5 seconds, I see a figure running into my direction and jump to the bullies. He was fight with five guys; the fight didn’t take much time, that man was breaking arms and legs without hesitating. Then I walk to me and lift me up.
“You´re ok boss?”
What the hell, “Boss”, I’m no boss, I'm just a normal kid who got spanked by a bunch of freaks.
“I-I´m ok”
“Good, c´mon let’s get you in the van, will explain later”.
I passed out when I enter the van, I take a small beating in the head and passed out. When I woke up I was in a large office, alone, I was lie on a bed a big table and chair where in the far side of the room, the room was painted red and black and a wolf insignia was in the wall above the chair and I didn´t know why a painting of my grandpa in the wall, a big painting, it was him sitting in a big chair with a wolf beside him. I get up and o could watch more of the room. A small drink table full of alcohol. A black carpet was covering the entire room ‘floor. Some chairs there, a billiard table with a small lamp above and a shelf full of vinyl records. A cloakroom at the door and that just it, that room was so damn big. Suddenly I hear a knock.
“Yes?”
Shut up you stupid kid, why did you answer.
“I'm coming in patrone”
“Y-Yes cumin”
