Part 10 | Brontide |

Lance- "When I was 12 my life took a sharp turn that hurt. A lot. People I loved and trusted turned there backs on me. Especially my dad. He would always come home drunk and my mom would always try and get the night shift so she could avoid him."
Keith- "..."
Lance- " So no one was there to stop him. That man would beet me till I bled. I never did anything wrong,  but in his eyes I did."
Keith- "..."
Lance- "One night he came home as wasted as ever. He went after my little sister for not picking up her toys in her room. I gathered up all of my siblings and locked them in the basement so he couldn't get them. I guarded the door with my b-b gun. He came down the hall cursing the day she was born. He yelled at me asking were she was and I said that he'll never find her."
Keith- "..."
Lance - " I tried to shoot him but I had the safety lock on. He pushed me aside and I fractured my arm. Dad broke the hinges on the door and stormed down. All I heard was screaming and a ran down the basement stairs. I say he had started to de-clothe her. I yelled at him to leave her alone, then he dropped her on the cement."
Keith- "..."
Lance- " I shot him in the eye with sheer luck. I told everyone to run to the neighbours house and get them to call the police. He was arrested for child abuse and all these other crimes."
Keith- "... I had... I had no Idea. That's why you came to school with a cast on your arm. You said you fell out of a tree! You would come to school with random bruises and lashes all over you."

Lance eyes started to spew tears again. Keith didn't need to think, his body leaned in and wrapped his arms around Lance.

Lance- " The words you said... He said them to, but worse."
Keith- " I'm sorry. Will you ever forgive me for bringing back the pain?"
Lance- " You didn't know so, yes I will forgive you.

Keith pulled his sleeve over his thumb and wiped away the tears that scattered over Lances face.
A tiny smile grew.

A loud crash of thunder shook the sky and rain dripped down over their heads.

Getting down the cliff was harder than getting up. The rocks slippery, it was hard to decent.  Keith slipped on a loose rock and fell the rest of the way down. Lance jumped down after him and screamed Keiths name his voice strained from crying.

Keith- " I'm okay!"
Lance- " No your not! You just fell like five feet and landed on your back!"

Keith rubbed the back of his head. It felt warm. He pulled his hand back to find a deep shade of red blood streaked all over.

Keith - " Well shit..."

The rain came down even harder from the dark sky.

Lance swung a bag off his back, then looked through all the stuff inside. He pulled out a small red bag and opened it up then took out a roll of gauze. He wrapped it around Keiths head being carful to not get  it dirty as to not cause infection.   

Lance- "There! Not even Lost for an hour and we are both already hert."
       Keith chuckles
Keith- " your right! But we need to get out of this rain."
Lance- " Agreed!"

Lance helps Keith up and starts to walk back into the forest, not to far from the beach the spot a clearing  and walk over. They decide to make a small shelter with tree bows and other things they could find. After 10 minutes of struggle the finally made something that closely resembled a shelter.

Low rumbles of thunder could be heard over the face of the ocean.

A Brontide is a low muffled sound like distant thunder heard in certain seismic regions especially along seacoasts and over lakes.
