Our Story

Part 1

Why does everything end up bad? I try as hard as I can to make him proud of me, but nothing is ever good enough. No matter how much I give it'll never be enough, I guess that's just the life of a child in one of the most dangerous gangs. We call ourselves "the fangs''. Mostly because my grandpa had a creepy obsession with snakes, the other reason is our motto is "always bite first ''. There's not much that I do other than do my father's dirty work and go to school. Even though I'm in a gang, my father wants me to be the first one in our family to graduate high school and then once I graduate he wants me to work full time for him and one day take over which is hard since I get bullied at school, but I'm not allowed to say anything back because my father would kill me if he found out that I was doing something about " stupid high school problems. And let me just say that Living with such high expectations sucks. I have to be perfect at all times and never think of anything out of school and the tasks my father gives me. Friends are a big no for my father. He thinks that if I make friends then they will somehow figure out who I am and either tell the cops or will be someone from a rival gang and try and find a weakness in me and try to take me and everyone else down. That also means that I'm not allowed to have a boyfriend that's outside of the gang unless it's an assignment which sucks because all the members are in their twenties and thirties. My father said if I got one, he would shoot him in the head right in front of me if they weren't in the gang. So, let's just say that he's not the most welcoming as most fathers should be. He made me get a tattoo of the gang when I was only nine, I even tried reasoning with him, but he never listened to me so now when I'm at school I have to hide it because since the gang that I'm in is so well known it would only take one look at my tattoo to know that i was in a gang. He also never shows any emotions other than anger, and when he shows that he's angry he shows me by hitting me, He hits me wherever he feels like because none of his men would dare to say anything and like I said I have no friends at school so no one ever notices.im getting ready since I have to train new recruits today since everyone else is helping my father. I put on a long sleeve black crop top with high waisted jeans since it's the weekend. I don't have to go to school and wear a uniform. Once I'm ready I put my hair in a high ponytail and slip on a high top black and white converse. When I'm done getting ready, I go to sit down but my father's yelling." Aurora!! Come into the kitchen, now!!!". I rush to the kitchen, and I see my father, along with two of his men. '' Go outside and start training the new recruits now, the table, targets, and weapons are set up. Now!". I lower my head and say "yes father" then I head outside.
