Prompt Time

Did The Big Bad Wolf Ever Cry?

In a bedroom painted red in a simple house in the center of vale sat a woman at the edge of a small bed, to her left were posters of super heroes, cars, and cartoon characters, on her right was a window giving her a glimpse of the starry night sky. The woman who had dark skin and long brown hair held a book and a small boy with golden amber eyes and grey wolf ears that twitched looked up at her with a tired gaze. It was late in the night and she had kept the boy up past his bed time to help wash dishes. With a smile she closed the book and set it down on the bedside table near her son's alarm clock. A figure stood in the door frame leaning against the wooden frame in a leather jacket, hands in his pants pockets. He had been quietly reciting the story being read to his younger self.

"Mom, did the big bad wolf ever cry?" The boy said rubbing his eyes.

"Hm? Why did you ask that huh?" The mother said in response.

"Well daddy said that when sometimes when you're mean it's just because your sad. So that means the big bad wolf was sad yeah and you cry when you're sad." The boy said moving his hands to help get his point across which prompted his mother to hold his hands still.

"Kacen, your dad is kinda right and I'm sure the big bad wolf did cry. But not for this, he was just being a bully to the three little pigs." She poked his nose and turned off his lamp. "Now go to bed my little puppy wuppy." She responded before kissing his forehead and leaving his room. The sounds of gunshots, hate-filled voices ,the overwhelming smell of trees and blood filled the air as everything became warped and distorted. The sensation of falling could be heard.

Jumping awake, Kacen could hear before he could see, the sound of a voice droning on and on about some lecture that he assumed he fell asleep to just like a few students in the class. Golden-amber eyes blinking as everything slowly came into focus around him, he felt a familiar warmth against him which he assumed had to be his girlfriend who just like him dozed off. He was honestly surprised his waking up didn't startle her. It hadn't been the first time he had a nightmare about his mother nor was it the last but he was just glad this one wasn't as bad. Looking around tiredly Kacen began to drift off again but the ringing of his scroll woke him and several others in the room up. Pulling his scroll out of his pocket he answered the call ignoring the teacher telling him to not do so.

"Hello? Kuki, why are you calling me? Shouldn't you be calling my dad?" Kacen asked pretty confused it's not like he ever really has Kuki call him for anything sure the man checked up on him on behalf of his dad if he was busy but other than that he never had the detective call him. A sigh came from the other line almost as if the person were weighing their options and trying to choose their words carefully.

"Kacen, your father was found at home dead. Gunshot wounds to the chest. It looks like someone broke in and caught him by surprise. Your sister just arrived back the house. You should get down here and see his body before we perform an autopsy later." Kuki said in a frustrated voice with a hint of sadness.

Gripping his scroll tightly Kacen could hear his heart thumping in his ears all four of them. His breath picking up as his emotions went wild, his usual golden-amber eyes now a stunning yet dim combination of red and dark blue, in his head Kacen could bear the voices of his other personalities shouting and fighting and urging him for answers however the loudest of the voices were anger and sadness they seemingly both fighting to have control so they could tell Kuki to eat shit and what does he mean his father was found dead? His father couldn't be dead this was some lie, some sick joke, another nightmare expect it wasn't. As irrational his emotions and thoughts were he knew deep down Kuki wouldn't like to him, not about something like this. However he was wasn't thinking straight and did the only that made sense.

"YOU'RE LYING! THAT'S BULLSHIT!" Kacen gales shouted half growled into the scroll before hanging up and looking around, whoever was still sleeping were now awake and all eyes were on him. Before anyone could really say anything to him he bolted out of the classroom, his teammates left confused soon followed after him one in particular speeding up to him in a crackle of red lightning displaying a young woman her name was Sinopia.

"What's the matter with you Kacen? Why'd you just shout and leave?" She said running beside him.

"I have to get home so stay away! It doesn't concern any of you." He using his semblance to make his go to jetpack construct and flying off leaving a trail the same color as his eyes. He rocketing through balls and the courtyard towards the airship dock. His teammates still giving chase, he stopped as an air ship landed at the docks he walking towards it and making a dome-like barrier around the docks keeping people out and allowing enough space for airships to enter and take off, he wanted to be alone on the airship. He stepping on board the airship taking a seat awaiting take off.

Kacen's barrier breaking down not long after he exited Beacon's airship, his teammates hopping on another airship, they were all aware he could be an asshole, but they could tell something was wrong. His constructs weren't their standard white color first off, secondly they knew the red was anger and the dark blue something else which meant something was angering him. They didn't have to follow him long after they landed, Sinopia filled Ebony and Leon about him saying he was going home leading them their, though however what the found when they arrived wasn't pretty. Cops everywhere with police tape keeping anyone from getting too close and an ambulance sitting in wait, two paramedics bringing a body out on a stretcher in a body bag. That's when they saw Kacen walking out of his home with his head hung low.

Kacen had arrived home a few minutes earlier and bolted past all the cops, Kuki and the paramedics on the scene, he had to see for himself that his father was dead that this was now a reality he had to face. He felt as if someone had gut punched him with all their strength because he felt his stomach flip and the breath he was currently sucking in leave his body as he stopped before the entrance to his kitchen. There he saw more than enough, his eyes snapping from one spot to the next in a dizzying whirl. Mid racing with so many questions with answers to them nonexistent, he wanted to scream and shout and fight but it never came. He felt numb in the moment as one thought lingered foremost in his mind that being the fact he wasn't a good song after his mother's death. He raised so much hell to spite his old man, to serve as a selfish way to deal with his mother being gunned down in front of him. He was a failure of a son and he never apologized to his father about it.  The emts currently putting his father in a body bag gave him a few minutes to look at to which he refused and walked out of the house after them. He saw his team and let his head drop as he sat on the steps leading into his house, he didn't respond to when his teammates ran over and hugged him or when Sinopia held him in a hug that best she could. He was trying to hold it together for his own sake. He needed to calm down some he knew how bad things could get if his emotions got out of control and more the negative ones. In his dream earlier today he asked his mother if the big bad wolf ever cried and he was positive he did, for he was crying into his hands as his team members watched him, as his girlfriend tried her best to comfort him. Kacen swore whoever did this would regret it not because he would kill them but because he would make it a slow and agonizing process of torture before he killed them. One thing was for certain as the sun began to set, this big bad wolf was plotting to do more than huff or puff.

(Done. Uhh this is not my best work by far but I was sick when writing this and that was just terrible and frankly I don't have the time to rewrite this. Maybe in the future. Sinopia belongs to That_1_Bi_Chick you guys should check her out. Kuki belongs to me along with Kacen and his parents. The two other teammates not mentioned by name  belong to That_1_Bi_Chick and Fracc90 respectively. Hopefully you enjoy)
