The End of Marvin Hawk

Suddenly we saw a man running in our direction. The sleeves of his shirt were ripped and his skin scarred. My father seemed to know him and I had a feeling that it was Baldwood. Before my father could make sushi out of him he got his hands up and said ‘I’m on your side. I apologize for everything I did but now I have seen my mistake and I ask for forgiveness’ I didn’t hear any word he said I just charged at him wanting to punch him or kick or even kill him for what he had done to my father. Before my hand would pierce through his stomach someone held me tight from the scruff of my collar with a knife inches away from my neck. For some reason I knew this was not my father.

I didn’t dare try to tilt my neck or to even cry for help.  ‘Come one step closer and the girl’s head comes off’ said Hawking threateningly as he held a pocket knife close to my neck. I could feel the knife’s cold steel sharp edges dying to slit my throat open. My father had a glint of anger I had never seen in him ever. It wasn’t even the ager that comes in your eyes when you’re having a rough day.no it was the anger of revenge. Anger which could make your eyes’ colour to change and the eyes to become slits. ‘Let her go!’ I heard someone yell. I had closed my eyes just as the man Marvin had said, scared that he would kill me right there and then if I didn’t obey him. I was thrown on the ground with a thud and only had my leg to break my fall. I heard something click but didn’t care I just wanted to make sure that my Father and Feathers were all right.

I tried to get up but my leg protested and I stayed in a sitting position with my legs as straight as a ruler. My leg was scratched deep because Marvin had sunk his knife into my leg. I saw Bobble saying something under his breath and everything went black for a minute or so. When I opened my eyes I saw Bobble staring at me with his big grey eyes filled with curiosity and worry. It reminded me of the first time I met Bobble. I gave him a smile and told him to help me to get up. ‘No, no you must stay here you are injured.’ I didn’t care if I was injured I just wanted to end all of this. I dragged myself and with the help of a tree’s branch I got on my feet. I saw Feathers’ claws on the ground, his wings blocking the scene from the over-all surroundings while Baldwood finished of Marvin Hawk.

 I saw Marvin dead on the ground. I tried my best to walk to my father but  every time I tried to take a step my legs would wobble and I would collapse to the floor to my disappointment. With the help of my elbows I dragged myself to him but stopped half way because of all the bruises my elbows had got because of the hard ground. Bobble helped me to get up. At first I declined but then as I saw the situation I was in; I leaned against the small troll which was quite hard. He actually supported my legs and somehow with the help of God I made my way to him.

My knees collapsed straight to the ground. Feathers had his wings around me but I shrugged him off. I got closer to him and whispered 'Dad you can stop the drama'. I had started to bite my lip in frustration. His arms were injured really badly and his leg was stuck out in an odd angle. I started to bite my nails in frustration. I tried to look away as I started to silently sob when I heard him croak and he said ‘don’t worry, I’m fine now.’ I tried to squeeze his arm lightly and gave Feathers a big hug.
