The Crazy Six

A Little Brother

David swung his sword down and Jack stopped it with his switchblade. At that moment, Jack tried to slice his face with his other blade. David swept Jack's feet from under him and they both fell to the ground. Jack still had both blades in his hands. With his free hand, Jack swung and aimed for face again. But only got David's red spiky hair. Jack was stuck and didn't know how to get out of this situation. He was panicking. Then something clicked in his brain. His attitude changed and he yelled. Jack snarled at David like a dog. David got up and got back. Jack got up and immediately went after David without a beat in between. Jack was giggling under his breath. "I'm a wild animal." Jack said. "No one can tame me. You don't stand a chance, boy!" He said as he lunged at David with both blades. David tried to stop Jack with his sword but one blade cut his arm, and Jack bit David's neck. David grunted in pain. Blood dripped from his neck and his arm.

"Are you done?" Jack asked. "I'm more experienced and stronger. Just give up." Jack added. "Giving up isn't a trait of mine." David said. "Well isn't that admirable." Jack said, in a sarcastic tone. Jack got out of a fighting stance and stared into David's eyes. "Where is your family?" Jack asked. "Does it look like I have one?" David asked, looking in Jack's eyes. Jack paused. "I thought this was a fight." Alice butted in. "Stay out of this." Jack snapped at her, shooting her a angry look. "I'm sure you want one, right?" Jack asked. "A family, I mean." He added. "Of course. Why wouldn't I?" David said. Jack walking toward David. "Come with me." Jack said, putting a hand on David's shoulder. "We'll be your family." He added. David looked at Jack and then at Alice. "And we'll always be there for you." Jack said, reaching his hand out to shake David's hand.
