Shattered Eyes

The Shattered Eye

Shattered Eyes were closing in on us, but one of them stood out in particular. He wore a large jacket, while the rest wore regular hoodies. "Patricia, why hello there." he uttered. We stared as the homeless man slowly walked away, and he signaled me a thumbs up. I knew we would be fine now, and he quickly ran away. "Harm me, not these three innocent teenagers who have experienced events because of your people!" Patricia yelled. He glanced at all 3 of us, but he suddenly glanced at me. He stared hard, and he began moving closer. "You there.. what's your name?" he asked. "My n-name? What do you need that for?" I asked. He stopped walking immediately. "I am the Shattered Eye. I lead all of these Shattered Eyes," he explained,"and I want to know your name." Patricia looked at me and put a hand on my shoulder. "M-My name is Harry." I replied. I was terrified, I was shaking, I didn't know what to do & I had Linda with me! He was suddenly surprised. His eyes widened. That's when suddenly, two men jumped on them. One of the Shattered Eyes members grabbed me from behind, but Patricia punched him. Brad jumped on one of the guys behind me, and I quickly punched the third guy in the face. Linda latched on to him knocked out his defenses. Patricia grabbed one of the pistols, pushed the gang member who tried to grab me, and shot him in the head. We screamed in horror. Brad was knocked to the floor, and Patricia reacted quickly. She tackled the other gang member, and Linda repeatedly punched the third gang member. I pushed him against the trash bin when all of a sudden, a gunshot was heard from behind me. He shrieked in horror. I turned around and saw the homeless man pointing at him with a pistol. "Y-You helped me, I help you!" he exclaimed. We quickly turned around and saw the gang member grab his pistol and blast Patricia in the neck area. He pushed her down, but Brad latched on to his legs so that he wouldn't go any further. The homeless man pointed at the gang member and fired at his head. "This is what happens when you mess with a U.S. veteran!" the homeless man yelled. I quickly grabbed Patricia, who was on the floor, but she had been shot in the neck area, and I knew she had been killed.

Suddenly, Brad grabbed me and told me to look. The Shattered Eye punched the veteran in the head with his pistol, kicked him to the floor, and shot his chest multiple times. Everyone was dead - and it was only us 3 and the Shattered Eye. Sirens were coming in the distance, but the Shattered Eye didn't seem to care. He pointed his gun at me and aimed. He was about to fire but Brad pushed me out of the way. The Shattered Eye ended up shooting thin air, and Brad had picked up a pistol, so he aimed and took a shot. He hit the Shattered Eye in the chest, but the Shattered Eye shot his hand. Brad screamed in pain, and I quickly grabbed the pistol and aimed at the Shattered Eye. He was about to die the exact same way as the Shattered Eyes's member that died at my house, except in this case, the Shattered Eye was still going to be able to survive. Pedestrians were slowly closing in on the Shattered Eye, but I signaled them to stop. I wanted answers.

"YOUR PEOPLE HAVE HARMED MY PEOPLE ENOUGH, AND I'D LIKE TO KNOW WHY!" I yelled. The Shattered Eye stared at me, hard. "You.. Do you even know why we're here..?" he asked, quickly. I aimed at his head, just in case he tried anything. "Tell me why, tell us ALL WHY!" I exclaimed. The sirens were getting even closer, and I knew I had little time to gain answers. "We were a small gang in the past.. but.. your father reported us to the police and we were imprisoned for years.." he explained. I began to shiver, hard. "He had some kind of power.. we were afraid of it, so we wanted to hunt him down.. I used to be best friends with your father," he continued,"but he betrayed us when he found out we wanted to start a gang.. I lost all of my good friends because of your father.. all my respect.." I continued to listen, but it was starting to make sense. "Your father had something in him.. and he said he was going to pass on his power to his son.. we were afraid of his power.. so we made a plan to hunt him down after exiting jail.. and it was so.." he ended. He stared hard into me. "Harry.. I know who you are.. Your mother and your father kept this from you.. but you have the power of your father.. the one we're all afraid of.. the one power that was the reason Shattered Eyes became a gang.." he continued. "Your father was ready to die because he knew we were after him.. he would always warn you about us, wouldn't he..? That's because he knew what we were after.." he finished. The sirens eventually arrived, and the police quickly started to break the crowd of pedestrians. "We tried to destroy you.. but you.. you're something else.." he explained. He fell to the floor, but I don't think he's dead. "PUT YOUR WEAPON DOWN NOW, KID!" an officer yelled. I dropped my pistol quickly and put my hands up, along with Linda. I finally had my answers..
