The Bryne Runaways (Updated)

Chapter 23

"What's a kid like you doing holding a big knife like those?" Speaks the guy who I can now see properly, he has black hair, stubble on his chin with his sleeves up revealing his tattoos and his friends were alike but much cockier. His grin is ugly with a foul odd sense in him.

"Huh?!" He says stuffing his hands in his pockets. I don't speak I just stay in place. Not knowing what to do. Use the knife? No I'd probably get hurt. I was thinking of walking away as a good answer but I don't have time to do so.. Bones pulls me back and he's currently facing them. I'm actually glad I have Bones here. Very glad if Uncle Ben were to get me it would be so much better for me.

"Hey! I was talking to the kid!" The guy gets upset with Bones and I didn't think Bones liked how he spat since he's fired up and his jaw is clenched. He's pissed off, like fuming. I don't know what I should be afraid of the other guys or Bones mad.

"He doesn't want to talk to you" Bones says sternly to them and I peek an eye at what's happening.

"It sure does look like it" The other guys smirks cockily. I wouldn't mess with Bones if he were like that but this guy is seriously pushing his buttons.

"So what are you gonna do tough guy?" The guy says and I don't want to see this fight occur. It's gonna be a bloody mess. Wait till the games. Release it all there. Not here. I pull on Bones to walk away because I don't want Bones to beat them to the ground. It's not worth it.

"Come on Bones, let's go back" I say as people at the field look at us causing some type of scene.

"Yeah go. Do what the kid says" The guy says irritating me enough to wanting to attack him already.

Luckily for that guy Bones turns around and we walk off when the guy decided to do something he will regret. He threw a pebble at Bones and that's when the beast has been unleashed. Bones tells me to run and I didn't know why till he runs to the guy tackling him down to the ground and I quickly run over to him till the two of the other guys decide to stand in the way. I look at them, they don't look friendly and I remember to run. I begin to run till I bump into someone from out of nowhere that I don't think would help much.

Jacob.

I look at him and he looks at the others who are after me. "Hand him over or else" They say to Jacob and I plead for him not to. He looks at Bones and then at me. He pushes me back and then the other two run at him.

"We told you" One of them says and they begin to brawl with Jacob but all he is does is just block their hits. He manages to get a few hits into the two guys, one on the nose and the other into the gut. The hits he's dodging were slowing Jacob down since they were stronger and much faster. One stays with Jacob fighting him off and the other to me. He walks toward me and I remembered the knife I have in my hand. I point the knife at him and he chuckles.

"You really think you can hurt me?" The guy says and he takes the knife out of my hands and throws it down to the ground.

"You've got nothing now" He says and lands a punch on me. I fall to the ground whining and clutching my pain, I see him coming and the first thing I do is kick him to where he breeds.

Yes! I got the guy but now. Run!

He falls to his knees and I get up and run when he brings me down with a pull on my leg where I fall to the floor being dragged towards him. He pins me to the floor and I reach for the knife quickly then the knife is thrown farther from me and the guy's hand converts into a fist and he pulls back for a punch and I prepare for impact. I shut my eyes waiting when the guy is pushed off me and I'm able to breathe normally. I roll to my side for the pain to disappear and I feel a hand on my side. A comfortable one.

I look to see Uncle Ben kneeled down with his recognizing soothing face looking down at me then his face expression changes and eye color turn into a darker shade, which means anger. He gets up and goes to the guy and hauls him up like a rag doll. I never have seen Uncle Ben so mad before but right now he's gone dark. He has the guy by the throat strangling him to a wall struggling for air.

This side of Uncle Ben is much more scary and very unreal that I have never seen which is terrifying to me.

"Don't fucking dare touch him again" Uncle Ben spits out anger in his voice and I wince at his words he's never said like when you pour lemonade onto your cuts. He begins to throw punches and it looks crazy already. I have to stop him or things will go bad.

"Uncle Ben, no!" I say catching his attention. I see him weakening the way I have looked at him. He drops the guy and goes to me quickly. He stands looking down at me not doing anything since what had happened that night. I shiver at his anger and it's weird since this has never happened before, he being pissed off like crazy. At first I am afraid to but I put my arms around him and push my face in him.

After a couple of minutes my heart felt there is a dark hole through it since I thought he didn't want to me hug back then he finally does. The Uncle Ben I know returns. The soft one I know. Not the violent one that shouldn't be seen or have been existed.

"All of you! In my office, now!" A roaring voice says coming from Gordon directly scaring the people watching the show that is now officially over.
