Brothers

The Final Chapter

I've been staying under this fallen tree for about a week now. Never moving, just thinking. "Why would Blake do a thing like this to me?" I sighed at my rumbling stomach before getting up for the first time in awhile. I guess I'm done thinking, and ready to move on as a loner. But I can't help but wonder why. Why did we have to fight in the first place?

Then, I heard a rustle in the bushes and backed up. It turned out it was only a rabbit. "Wow, I'm so jumpy today." I muttered to myself as I moved to catch the rabbit. It never saw me coming.

After I had eaten, I turned around to walk back to the fallen tree. Once I reached the fallen tree, however, I noticed that something else had occupied it while I was gone. Standing in between me and the tree was the biggest bear I had ever seen. I was shaking violently in fear. Maybe I should just back up. No, that was a bad idea. Now the bear was chasing me through the forests' thick undergrowth. Eventually, I would have to turn and fight. I sighed, annoyed by this, before turning around and jumping on the bear. It growled in rage and threw me off immediately. Owww, that hurt! I saw the bear rushing towards me, and I braced myself for the impact that was sure to come. I waited a few seconds and, confused, I opened my eyes to see why I wasn't dead. Tyler!

Tyler was battling the bear with such ferocity, I couldn't believe it. Once he had knocked the bear out, Tyler raced towards me. "Blake, are you okay?! I'm so sorry! I was so mean to you! Once you got exiled I couldn't believe it! I missed you so much! I'm sorry we ever fought!"

I chuckled, then paused, hacking up blood. "Why did we ever fight? I'm sorry too Tyler." But before I could feel the darkness envelop me, I saw Blake get tossed to the side by the (now fully recovered) bear. "Tyler, no!" I whined weakly. "Why the hell did we both have to die, brother?"

"My brother."
