5 Tankers And A Dog In Another World

Chapter 7: Origins

I was born in the outskirts of Hamburg, Germany. We weren't poor or rich, we didn't lack in anything. I met Arran when I was 5, our parents became friends so we met during one of their visits. Soon later in, we met Peter that his father worked in a clinic. We met him when our fathers had gone a little overboard on the drinking and Arran's father got his arm cut with a knife they were playing with.

Peter's father:"Why don't you boys go and play? This is gonna take some time due to this men being drunk."

Peter:"Thanks dad."

Arran:"What do guys want to do?"

"Guess we can play football."

Arran:"Oh, we haven't introduced ourselves, I'm Arran."

"I'm Finn."

Peter:"Nice to meet you all, let's get along from now on."

We all rapidly became inseparable, we would always be together. To the point where our parents were used to it, they wouldn't question where we were going. A couple years later, we met Lucas, when we were going the theater, We found Lucas trying to pick a fight with another group of kids. Let's just say he got his butt handed to him, we jumped in so we could spare him some slack.

Lucas:"I didn't need help."

Arran:" Don't lie to your self, they were gonna feed you to the animals."

"Ok, anyways, why were you picking a fight with them?"

Lucas:" They have the reputation of bulling others."

Peter:" So you tried to fight them so they would stop?"

Lucas:"Yeah, got a problem with that?"

"No, any ways who did they bully?"

Lucas:"Follow me."

We followed him to a park, there were many children running around.

Lucas:"it's this fellas."

We looked at them both, we could see why they were a target. The one on the right had long streaks of grey running down his hair, the other one had a dark brown eye and the other was a white with a small tint of blue out the edges.

Lucas:"The one with gray is Marco and the one with an odd eye is Nicholas, I don't have to explain why they get picked on. It's pretty obvious."

"How about we stay in a group so they can't get the jump when we are separated?"

Peter:"Thats a good idea, they won't pick on y'all if you are with us."

Marco:"We can?"

Nicholas:" Does this mean we are friends now?"

Arran:"Yeah."

"Want to join us, what's your name?"

Lucas:"I'm Lucas, sure, I'll join you. I'm sure after that stunt I did, they are gonna go after me too."

And so, it was our friend group of six. We were all best friends, we would all go together to the same places. It was a very good time, we all got to know each other more and more. Peter was from an all doctor family, his hands would never shake to the point he could almost write the same characters in a book. Arran, due to him being from a very strong family was y'all and could easily beat us in arm wrestle. Marco, he was a book worm, he had the most knowledge out of us. He was a pacifist and did not like fighting, he would rather be in the back as a reserve if we got into a fight. Lucas, he was a loud mouth that would annoy a lot of people and us, we would keep him in check so he wouldn't say anything too far out. Nicholas, he was a mix of Peter and Marco, he was a pacifist but was not afraid of helping out, he was Jewish, but we didn't mind and instead thought that it was interesting. I wasn't bad at anything but wasn't the greatest either, both of my parents were aryans but I had black hair and eyes. We continued to enjoy being friends, that was until the Socialist party took over. We were hearing about how the Jews were responsible for all the misfortune that had befallen on Germany, we all knew that it wasn't true because Nicholas wasn't the person they said they were. Nicholas parents were very kind and didn't hold any grudges, Lucas once broke a plate and they weren't upset about it. It continued on for a couple more months, and of course one of our class had tipped the gestapo about him. When we were hanging out together at the park, a group of men approached us.
