Burning Impulse

Two Sides

**********chapter 6: Two sides***********

Just as there are two sides to every story, there are two sides to every person… …one that we reveal to the world and another we keep hidden inside. A duality governed by the balance of light and darkness. Within each of us is the capacity for both good and evil. But those who are able to blur the moral dividing line hold the true power.

There can never be an us, at least not for a while. I need to make the people pay for every second that I was not with my father or brother. Maybe even my mom, of course she died of a car incident 16 years ago. Before the world collapsed.

And hopefully I will..we will find them alive.

"Aiden" I wisper "I cant do this." I wisper getting up and walking towards the door.

"Where are you going?" he asks

"I need to get some air" I say not much louder than a wisper looking  at the ground.

"No, not with those fivecats out there, and the redbelts, and that luna diaz girl, not in this world, im coming with you." He says.

"Wow, where were you when I was ripped from my father at 12 years old, where were you when I was shot in the leg with an arrow to have to run miles just to be able to rip it out by myself. Where were you when I watched people being slaughtered. Where were you Aiden?! I'm still here and I got here without you, I Think I can handle my self as I have been for 5 years." I choke on my own words.

I quiclkly exit the door, but not before grabing my bow.

I was always better at my bow. I can control it better. And I always have my knife that my dad gave me when he trained me.

He only gave those knifes to his students.

I walk outside and on to the ground. After walking about a 100 yard I run into a fivecat. I don't make a big deal about it.

I just pullout my bow and shoot it between the eyes I run over to and yank my arrow out of its skull.

I sit trying to think. But my mind is completly blank.

Before I can think she sees an arrow fly into tree next to me.

After I hug her she runs away.

Did i do something wrong?

I think it has something to do with her past. Maybe it's time I find out what happened to her. I walked across the old soft wooden floor. I go over door and open it revealing all of her past.

I grab a photo album.

This is all the files and all the records and pictures of her past family. I use my arms to lower myself into the little room. Then I pull out the photo album of her family. I open the book and see a picture of her mom? Its a really old photo though. I flip through the album to find more resent photos. But I dont find anything but a old memorial service photo on the top it says

R.I.P Heather Jean Shields

Then I look into a file . Then I looked into her brother. He was 5 years older. And by the looks of it he was very buff. It looks like the recent photo had to be at least 5 years ago. That fits the short description Taylor gave me. And the album find pictures of her dad. I have met him before. He is the one who trained me. But I cannot tell Taylor. If I did she would already be really mad. I might as well wait a little bit longer. But I must find her brother.

But I'm not sure he's alive. I hope so but I'm not sure. Realize that soon she should be back and I don't want to get caught.

"What, are you doing here this is my land!" I hear a girl yell.

"Um, sorry to burst you bubble, but no one owns any land anymore." I snap back at her.

"What do you want?" She sighs, rolling her crystal blue eyes. And fliping her long blond locks held together by a pony tail. Shes about 5 inches taller than me. About 5'10

"Um, your the one you shot an arrow at my head." I say poining at the arrow thats still in the tree.

"Touchè" she says

"So you got a camp around here?"I ask

"I did," she looks down at the ground like its a touchy subject.

"Are you hungry?" I ask

Her eyes emedietly grow big.

"I havnt eatin days. do you have food?" She asks

"Yes and lots of it, come on ill take you there." I tell her

She looks to be aroud my age.

I know aiden will be mad, but what was I suppose to do leave her to starve?
