Jay's Pov.
The man grabbed the gun from my hand an started shooting all but one missed. I looked down at my arm which had been shot. I flinched but continued to struggle with the man. He grunted as if it was difficult to fight off a 100 pound 16 year old. We struggled for a brief moment then the man shove me off and ran. I was about to
fallow when I remembered Darius and turned to see him staring at me like it was all his fault. Watched him closely as I walked towards him. I saw his eyes dart to my arm multiple times. "Darius are you ok? How bad dose it hurt? Do you need to go to the doctor? Do you know what that man wanted from you?!" Darius looked at me and said, "you should get back to work. You don't wanna get fired do you?" once he finish his sentence he stood and grabbed his bag off the ground and started walking to school as if nothin happened as if he hadn't been shot in the shoulder. "Darius!" I said surprised, surprised he didn't wanna come to work with me and that he evidently didn't didn't trust me. He glanced over his shoulder and said, "you can walk me to school.... If you wanna...." Still surprised I ran to catch up to him. I glanced over at him multiple times before we got to the school. Once we were standing in front of the main school doors he looked at me and said "get to work, fix your arm, and I might tell you when we get home." Then he pulled his bag up more and walked into the school. I stared at him speechless. Then I could feel it. My arm felt like it was on fire. I looked at it an covered it with my hand. Bloody an worried I walked back to work.
Darius's pov.
As I walked into the school I saw the office lady look at me in concern. I looked down a my shoulder which ha been shot. I felt nothing but could see that I was still bleeding. I went to the library where I usually was and sat at the back table there was few people as always. Once I sat down I pulled out a book the librarian had recommended for me. I like it so far but wasn't sure I was gonna even read today. I latest my head down on the book an fell asleep.
(Darius's dream)
I was walking around in the forest it was dark an humid. I could smell the rain. I stuck my hands out in front of me searching for something I felt a rough yet soggy tree. I paused for a moment... I heard breathing. It was deep an shallow like a dog of some sort. I turned in circles trying to see but it was to dark. I turned in the direction I thought the tree was an reached out and felt nothing I took a step forward an my foot hit something. I reached my hands out once more and found nothing as I lowered them my left hand hit something rough and bristly. It felt like fur almost. As I moved my hand over more I felt an ear, an eye, a nose, and a mouth, which was now opening up. I pulled my hand away swiftly an herd a clap as the animals mouth snapped shut. I turned and started running. I heard the animal fallow. I was still running when I noticed I couldn't hear it chasing me anymore. I kept running anyway. What seemed like 10 minutes later I ran into something and fell to the ground. I heard a low growl like a dog. Next thing I know the sun is up and I'm staring face to face with a white wolf that does not look happy. I started backing up only to bump into something else. I looked behind me an was face to face with another wolf except this one was black. I turned to the white one and looked it in the eyes. "Where is it Darius? Your past overdue. You promised to pay up where is it?" the white wolf said to my amazement. "Wh-what?" I said scared. The black wolf spoke this time, "you know exactly what! You said you would pay for your old man! Wheres our money you little brat?!" I looked at the black wolf and said, "I don't have it I don't have anything! My brother can barley work up enough money to pay for the house bills and it's bad enough I take some of it every month to pay you people!" The wolves exchanged looks and looked back at me I looked up at the white one. "You do know what that means don't you?" I shook my head not sure what they were gonna do to me. The black wolf smiled as set a wolf could smile. As I was staring at the black wolf the white one grabbed the back of my neck. I screamed in pain. "You shoulda payed us back u little runt!" said the black wolf, he stepped back and lunged at m face with his mouth wide open.
I woke up all sweaty with a crick in my neck. I looked around the library, there was few people left the lady at the front was looking at me with a worried look. I looked down at my shoulder again an saw that I had stop bleeding and had left a small puddle of blood on the table.
