Prince of Shadows

"Jason! Christian! Come here right now!" Me and my friend Christian were talking when she shrieked at us. Startled we turned around to face a very red faced Mrs. Lee."Yes Mrs. Lee?"Christian said calmly.I looked at him.We both knew Why she was angry  and just hoped we were wrong."you know what."She growled. Despite her anger i couldn't help but smile. Her face was redder than a apple and she bared her teeth like an animal. She saw my slight smile and turned on me with her molten face three inches away. Just as she drew a breath in to say something the final bell rang. The other kids in the room got up to get their stuff and leave."We will finish this tomorrow."She said then walked away Then Chris looked at me."Come on lets get our stuff."So we walked out to our lockers which were across the hall from each other,got our things,then we walked out the doors.My phone started buzzing and I looked at it.It was Brooke,so i answered."Hello?"Then her bright peppy voice answered."Hey where are you and is Christian there too?""We're at the front of the school by the flag pole."I said." Ok me and Michelle will meet you guys there,bye,""Bye."I remembered that my brother is picking me so we can go to the store for our parents.I turned to Chris and said"Hey Chris I got to go find my bro ok?I'll hang with you guys tomorrow.""Ok see ya." I walked away and looked for my brother's truck in the high school parking lot. After a few minutes i found his pickup and got in.He turned around in his seat to look at me."Took you long enough."Then turned around and started the truck.I looked at my reflection in the window.My bright blue eyes,shoulder length messy black hair and pale face.I sighed and looked down at my shoes thinking about how I'm going to have to see Mrs. Lee tomorrow.Mrs. was nothing compared to what i was about to get myself into.I looked back up to put my seat belt on and looked out the window."Jacob! Look out!"The impact sent me and glass flying to the other side of the truck and my head slammed against the door.I was in a world blinding pain and screeching metal.When it all stopped I was laying on my back,my vision blurry, partially from the hit to my head and the tears in my eyes. When I brought my hands up to wipe my eyes i saw that they were covered in blood and glass.I was crying a lot and i couldn't find the strength to yell.My body felt almost numb and when i tried to move i felt a searing pain in my stomach.I looked down to see a metal shard embedded in my stomach."Oh god.......Oh god no"I groaned.My voice was heavily muted from all the noise minutes ago.Then I thought of my brother."Jacob."I said almost mute to my ears.I looked over at the driver seat to see him sitting upside down with so much blood covering his face that i couldn't tell were the actual wound was.Then out of the corner of my eye I saw someones shoes as the walked over to the wreckage.Then I saw that it was a man as he bent down to look through the window.He looked at me then stood up and I heard faint yelling then he bent back down and crawled in after me.He saw the metal in my stomach and his eyes widened with fear.He said something but I didn't hear it.He gently picked me up, although the pain was still unbearable,and carried me out of the wreck.When I was outside the truck the air smelt strongly of gasoline.I tried to tell the man that my brother was still in the truck but he didn't notice.He picked me up again and was carrying me far away from the wreck. Now I could see that a SUV rammed the truck from my side.The crash was far behind us now and with every step it felt like i was continuously being stabbed in my stomach.I kept trying to tell him about my brother and this time he noticed.He said something but i couldn't hear him.He had a questioning look so I assumed he was asking what I said."Brother."I croaked deaf to my ears.I pointed to the truck and realization dawned on his face.He yelled at someone and pointed to the truck.Then the truck and SUV exploded.With my brother inside of it.I tried to scream at the man but the effort was to great.He put me on the ground and tried to comfort me but i kept crying.Because and my brother and the pain both.I felt my breath getting more and more shallow.The pain was replaced with numbness and my vision was darkening.The man was saying something but I didn't care anymore. I just wanted to sit here and die.So I just sat there and let the cold darkness cover me.
