The Bryne Runaways (Updated)

Chapter 7

"I really don't want to meet your friends Jacob, it's okay, you can go" I say to Jacob not really wanting to go anywhere but stay here on this very couch reading books and comics the rest of the day.

"And you think I want to go over and see those butt heads alone? So come on, being outside isn't gonna kill you, I got your back" He says and manages to get me off the couch with his convincing words. I grab Uncle Ben's sweater and we walk out the cabin as I close the door behind us with the cool wind blowing a fresh breeze into us.

"By the way is Benofferson your uncle?" Jacob says.

"Yeah he is, but he's the interesting one, not me" I say to him and I forgot that he doesn't know about Uncle Ben at a all.

"He announced it last time that he has a nephew but I didn't notice you're his nephew. I thought he was just your friend" I lost him at announced. Why would Uncle Ben announce that? He knows I don't talk to other people.

"Yeah he's my Uncle" I say but much likely as a whisper than talking loudly.

"How do you know him?" I ask Jacob as we walk.

"He's a hunter. Him and his squad are always training, everyone is quite fond with him for the way he is" Says Jacob as we cross the bridge going over the pond that is already far from the cabins and the other places.

"Who are your friends Jacob?" I ask looking around the scenery until the sound of a snapping branch interrupts from behind me. I turn around to see another camper behind me where I immediately identify the one piece of jewelry on his ear. The camper stands high and I examine he's a tall and bulkier fellow who seems to have no certain sense of joy in him. I quickly step away from him but to trip over a thick log.

"Oof" Was the sound I make once my bottom has hit the ground. Another camper falls from a tree landing perfectly on their feet. That other camper is a girl with this gorgeous symmetrical face, red pink plumped lips, and this Spanish brown hair down to her shoulders. She has a nice figure and her aura is quite satisfying. Then again someone else appears from behind me but this time he looks down at me with these strong coffee like brown eyes that are filled with only from what I see positivity and humor within them. He contains this ginger brown hair showing off a weird but a nice toothy smile, his brows are thickly big too giving him much more of a friendly feature to him.

"Who's this Jacob?" The first camper I made contact with is the stranger with the pitch black hair and killer vibe in front of me speaks then Jacob helps me up from the ground pulling me next to him to see them all.

"Bones, Dean, Margaret this is Norman, the camper I was telling you guys about" Jacobs says presenting me to his friends. If that's what he calls them.

"Replacing us already Jacob" The only girl here with gentle words says. As she talks I'm able to hear the lightness in her voice.

"No, not yet" Jacob says with a smirk on his face.

"Well, welcome to the group, I'm Dean!" The foolish outgoing guy yells who seems very much less dangerous comes over pulling me into a firm handshake then into his arms for a hug.

"Bones look, we have another member. Remember you said we needed another person" Dean says very excited to the guy with this dark but quiet look on his calm face seemingly like he'll never smile in his entire existence.

"Why did you bring him?" Woah, by the tone of his voice sounds like Gordon all over again. Stern and rough.

"I thought you guys would like to meet him" Jacob says and seeing by the faces of the other two they approve but looking at Bones he doesn't approve. Looks like he's cold hearted. No type of light in him.

"He's Benofferson's nephew" Jacob says to them and the rest of them smile at me but not Bones. Some people have gone cold around here and by looks of it I found one here. His name is Bones.

"That's so cool" Says Dean making me feel a bit better.

"Looks weak" Bones says and I feel hurt by his words.

"Well he isn't" Jacob retorts getting pissed off by hearing all the comments that's been dissed at me already.

"Yeah he's weak, if I gave him my knife he would immediately hesitate to take it" Bones says harshly.

"Well I think he's special, he doesn't need a knife to be a badass you know" Margaret points out then sending me a friendly wink.

"Yeah he's already badass being the nephew of Benofferson. I think he already has what it takes to be badass just being his nephew" Says Dean who sits on a log.

"Quiet you two!" Bones says to Dean and Margaret then pulls out a knife he has in his pocket. He then walks over placing the knife roughly in my hand then walks back to his spot.

"Throw the knife if your worthy" He says putting his hands on his hips waiting patiently to get stabbed.

"Bones this is stupid, let's just drop it and take Norman how he is" Jacob says to him getting involved into this. To be honest I really don't want to throw this knife at him. I don't hurt people even though they can be a jerk. I'm not going to do it.

"Shut up Jacob, I have had enough of you!" Bones yells and Jacob just stays quiet but gives him a death stare.

"Go! Launch it or you are no longer existent to me nor any of us" He says waiting for the knife.

I look at him mercifully. I really don't want to do it. This why I don't want to have any friends. They'll end up making me do something reckless. I look at the knife and just shake my head dropping the knife down and looking up. Bones just chuckles and looks at me with disapproval just like Gordon, then says.

"You aren't the nephew of Benofferson, I pity you just being in this world, you should've just died with the rest of the others out there" That makes me feel utterly terrible about myself and a bit reckless having the courage to pick up the knife in a sudden swift movement, and as he walks away turning his back to us that's when I chuck the knife to the tree that is close to him grabbing his attention and the others as well. What did I just do?

"Your friends were nice" I say to Jacob weirdly since we haven't said a word on the way back from his friends and to where we can see the cafeteria.

"I'm sorry about all that, especially Bones, he's not really like that he's just hard to open up, you know?" Jacob says to me and I nod. I didn't know I threw the knife it was just the heat in the moment.

"Don't worry about all that, Bones will get to you little by little, just like the rest of us"

"Jacob I think it'll be better if I have just you as my friend, I think one is better" I say looking at him putting a smile on my face.

"Come on Norman" He says but I really want to continue this.

"No it's not like that, I think having one friend like you is better because, I can trust you"
