The black lions (COMPLETE)

Part 1: last day but new day

June 18, 1998
New York, New York, USA

It was my last day of school ever, the last bell had just rang, the last school bell I'll ever hear. I was walking out with my friends Leighton, Austin, Tyler, and Isabella. We were all walking, I was putting up my dark curly hair in a ponytail, "it's so hot!" I say, "I'm sorry it's cuz I'm here" Tyler replies, "shut up!" I say and we all laughed.

We all went to the little cafe we always go to, "so how do you guys feel to be old?" Isabella asks, she was younger than the rest of us, so she would still be going to school for 1 more year. "How does it feel to still be in high school and not be an adult?" Leighton asks back, Isabella groans, "I'm gonna be so sad next year, you guys are like my only friends!" She replies, I giggle a bit, "it's ok Isa, it's not too late to drop out" I joke, "Ximena!" She groans again and we all laugh.

Then I suddenly got a weird feeling, I looked around the restaurant, there wasn't a lot of people in there, just us, a woman and a man at one table, and a man sitting alone at another. "Ximena are you ok?" Austin asks, "oh um- y-yeah" I reply.

After we were done we all went home, it wasn't that late probably about 5pm, "bye everyone!" I say and started walking home. My house was in what most people would call the "bad neighbor" I started to get that weird feeling again, like I was being followed. I looked around again and there wasn't anything suspicious. I started walking again, but that's when someone behind me covered my mouth and put a gun to my head, I squeaked a bit, "don't move or I'll blow your brains out!" He says behind me.

I didn't remember much of what happened after, but they took me to what looked like to be the stairs to the subway, but it was actually a underground bar. It was very nostalgic, when I there they had handcuffed me, then someone walked up to me, he's tall, he has dyed bright red hair, green eyes, and he had a big tattoo on his left shoulder, "what's your business here?" He says as he points a gun against my head, "I don't have business here, I was just walking home" I reply, "wait why did you kidnap her?" He asks the guy who grabbed me, "because you told me to!" The guy replies, the tall guy turns back to me, "who are you?" He asks, "Ximena Hernandez" I reply, and then his face lit up, "SMILEY!" He says happily, dropping the tough voice, "you should have just told me it was you!" He says as he un cuffs me. "What happened to you, Barmy?" I ask, "what are you talking about? What happened to you?" He asks, "oh well you know got older and stuff" I say, "got older and stuff'" he mocks and everyone laughed.

"Anyways why did you kidnap me?" I ask, "well I have a lot talk about" Barmy replies and we go into the little room in the corner. "Here want a beer?" He asks "no thanks" I reply, Barmy sat in front of me, "ok I'm just gonna get right to it" Barmy says, "The Devils are after The black lions." The Devils, The black lions are rivals, the had never gotten along mostly because my brother, the leader of The black lions, and the leader of The Devils, didn't like each other. "Well there not really after us," Barmy says as he opens his can of beer a takes a drink, "what do you mean?" I ask, "their after you" he replies, "ME?!" I say shock, why would The Devils want anything to do with me?! "Why?!" I ask, "well you are Blast's sister" Barmy replies, "yeah but I left all of this behind, after what happened..." I say, "I can't get back into this life" "well you're probably have to" Barmy says and takes another drink, "AGUSTIN!" I say blurting out Barmy's real name, "damn señorita you don't have to bring real names into this" Barmy says kind of shocked, "sorry, I-I just after Emmanuel died I promised myself I would go back, I had to leave the past behind, it was just to dangerous" I say, "well it's dangerous to not get back into it, if you don't their gonna kill you" Barmy replied, I sighed sadly, "Barmy" I say and hug him, "so is that a yes?" Barmy asks, I nodded, "welcome back Smiley."
