Secrets

Gang Fight Troubles

"Okay guys I was thinking. I need to get my appearence changed,"I stated.

"No,"Josh said quickly. "You just won't leave the house. I won't you change you looks." I gave him an annoyed look. I didn't want to be stuck inside all the time.

"There is another alternative but...it invovles my other secret,"I informed.

"Surely, you being safe is important than a secret," Josh reasoned.

"Josh...this secret. You have to understand that no one nows about. No one. I'm the only one. I-I can't just tell you. It's dangerous. I'm dangerous,"I admitted. My voice cracked on the last part. I wanted to tell them so bad but I just couldn't. Suddenly someone's phone went off causing me to jump. Zach pulled out his phone and answered it.

"Hello....what do you want...now but-that much...fine we'll be there,"Zach hung up and looked at Josh. "That was Derrick. He wants us now for a fight. If we win we get a lot of money but if we lose Derrick gets one of us,"

"Ugh...ok,guys get ready. We've finally gotten another fight," Josh commanded.

"Finally, some real action." I cheered.

"Uhuh, you're not coming,"Andrew scoffed.

"Did you not learn anything yesterday? You can't stop me,"I said.

"Fine, but don't get in the way," John ordered. I glared at him but he ignored me and headed towads the door.

"Wait,what about weapons?"I asked.

"This is a non weapon fight,"Zach said unsuspectingly.

"Idiots! What makes you think they won't doublecross you," I stomped downstairs and picked out ten daggers hiding them discreetly on my person. I went back up and outside to the van where everyone else was waiting. It still felt silly to ride in a minivan.

"Ug, I miss my motorcycle," I sighed.

"You have a motorcycle?Matthew asked jelously. I smirked and nodded as Josh pulled up to an abandoned playground. There was a group of 7 boys waiting for us. We climbed out and casually walked.

"I see you still have a minivan AND you brought a girl. Can't wait to take her home after we win," a boy winked at me. I got ready to act.

"Oooh, why did Ihave to be pulled into this horrible mess. You're all so horrible and cruel. I want to go back home,"I whined faking a few tears. Josh looked at me confused before he caught on.

"Shut up and let us fight," he growled at me. I smiled inwardly at how Josh was a pretty good actor too. He ran forward at the one boy who spoke. I guessed that was Derrick. Two guys from the other gang went for Matthew while everyone else enganged in one on one combat. That left one guy to come after me. He slowly advanced as I let out a fake scream and started to run like a pathetic wimp. He caught my wrist and yanked me towards him. Then he wrapped an arm around my waist.

"Hello beautiful,"he whispered in my ear. I turned my head to face him and smirked.

"Hello,"I said before punching him square in the face. He stumbled back clutching his face.

"You're gonna pay for that"

"Really, I don't think you can beat me." He growled and lunged at me. I cleanly dodged him before kicking him in the back. He went flying forward and there was a loud crack as his head slammed on the curb. I turned to find our other opponents backing up in surrender. Derrick wiped his bloody lip.

"Well done Josh. You all fight well even little girly. I'd really like to have her in our gang...and we will,"he pulled out a gun and pointed at Josh. "She comes with us." I chuckled and his gaze snapped to me. This is where a mind link comes in handy.

"Derrick put the gun down"I stared into his eyes and noticed his grip loosen on his pistol. Of course no one else knew what was going on. Only Derrick could hear me in his mind. "Derrick you don't want to get hurt. Give us the money or you can die. Oh, I just want to go home. That was pretty good acting wasn't it." Derrick's mouth dropped open. He ripped some money from his jacket before sprinting off. The other guys followed after him. Zach went up and pocketed the money from the ground.

"You just stared off the best gang leader in town...and won!"Andrew exclaimed. I was about to smile at him when I noticed a member from the other stayed behind and was pointing a gun directly at Zach.

"Zach,behind you!"I screamed. He turned around right as the guy shot. Everything seemed to become slow motion as the bullet flew forward and lodged itself in Zach's stomach. The guy ran off as Zach let out an agonizing scream and sank to the ground falling unconcious. We all rushed forward and Josh and John immediately picked up Zach's limp body. Throwing the van doors open they got in the back. Tears were streaming down the boy's faces. Andrew seemed to have gone into a state of shock. I jumped into the drivers seat.

"Hold on," I ordered slamming the gas pedal. The car sped off but I had gone faster before and was impatient. I could feel Zach dying as he lost more and more blood.
