Unnatural

Time is coming

He grabbed the rake and went outside running.

''Wouldn't you like to take the green one?"

"No, I don't like to sweep with it."

"As you wish then. Don't forget, I don't want to see any leaf on the ground! " The old man raised his voice so the boy could hear him.

"You can count on me for that!" The boy shouted from outside. "Now," he said to himself after seeing the big garden almost fully coverd in old leafs "in what have I put myself into?" he sighed and started to sweep the dead leafs. He started in the morning but finished after afternoon.

He came back in the house tierd.

"Are you done?" Said the old man cleaning a gun.

"Definitely!" He fell on the couch.

"Then take this." The old man threw a gun to the kid." It's yours, you deserve it." Said very pround. The kid caught the gun and smiled. It was a silver Colt 1911. "It's the one that you wanted, right?"

"It's exactly the one that I wanted!" the kid made a break."Can I test it now?"

"No, even if we are in the middle of the woods someone may be around and hear you."The old man stood up to put the cloth at it's place.

"But Isaac, even if that happens they will think that is some hunter and most probably they will get away not to be shoot. And a matter of fact, we are hunters!" Said with a smile on his face.

"Not that kind of hunters. You're right, but better not to risk. What if they see you and then we get in trouble because I let you to play with a gun, all alone?"

"Since when are you like this?" Exclaimed the boy while turning to the man.

"Since I started to see more sings that you want to go to haunt them." The man said bluntly. The kid sat still and said nothning. He started to move the gun from a hand to the other. "I'm not that young anymore." He said almost sad about that.

He really begun to think more and more about this than before and even to train more to gain all sorts of things to help him in fights.

"Stefan?" Said Isaac." Are you ok? I wasn't arguing with you."

"I know. But... " he breathed out.

"If you don't want to do that maybe I can try to help you."

"No, you can't. The deal says I have to kill them. No one else can."

"Those are the rules." Isaac sat on the couch handel and put his hand on Stephen's back." If you want me to come with you, even just to drive you, maybe be your back up..."

"No, it's ok, I don't want something bad to happen to you too. And you already said that I can go alone. Don't worry, all will be good, you trained me well." He pat Isaac on the back.

"Yes I did." The man muttered to himself while getting up from the couch. Stephen laughed.

At dinner was quiet but Isaac broke the ice:

"Tomorrow we will go to a hunt."

"What? Ghosts, deamons?"

"Honestly I don't know. In the next town it started to be more paranormal activity than usual and we have to go and see."

"Ok, thanks for dinner." He got up, washed his dishes and went to the door. "Now I will try my new gun." He disappeared on the door.

"I hope you will not use the special bullets!" Shouted the old man.
