The Bryne Runaways (Updated)

Chapter 54

My hands quickly grasps the fresh apple and admire the juicy fruit that is in my hands. Just having the apple in my hands gave me strength. I can almost taste it. Uncle Ben runs in the store right after me but I don't know why so I take my first bite on the apple. I instantly regret biting into it though. I hear the sharp heavy arrow blast out, I turn around to see it coming after me when Uncle Ben launches himself to me to get away from the arrow. We both fall on the floor seeing the arrow go directly through the thick brick wall I was in front of. As I stare at the arrow I realize it could've killed me like nothing. It could've gone right through my skull.

I hear footsteps coming and I grab my knife quickly from my pocket looking around this dark place. Uncle Ben walks in front of me with his axe ready to be sunk into something alive. We move around and everything in this deli has been taken so we couldn't take anything from here. In here there's only a bunch of garbage all over the floor, broken glass and knocked down shelves.

Out of nowhere blinding lights flash throughout the deli and I'm without any view. I see nothing but a white godly light. Suddenly I hear loud crashing noises surrounding me and I gain my sight to see Uncle Ben hauling some random outsider with tattoos down his hand sleeves away from us until another outsider comes in, he has a buzz cut hairstyle that grows, thick brown skin and a young aggressive face with a bit more muscle than Uncle Ben. He lands a huge swing to Uncle Ben making him fall to the filthy floor and the stranger kicks him around pretty roughly. When I see his actions continue I feel myself getting angry, I feel a fire rage inside me that I run to the outsider who dropped my uncle and plunge my knife on his back pushing it deep to where he groans loudly then I get launched to a metal shelf from far injuring myself terribly.

At this point I feel so hurt and hungry that I wanted to beg for mercy. I fall to the floor whimpering feeling a deep throbbing pain in my wrist. I hug my wrist looking at the stranger come after me with balled up fist. He kneels down in front of me and his arm draws back ready to hit me. I shut my eyes ready for impact until I hear some calling.

"Titan no!" A yell is heard then I watch as Uncle Ben takes various swings at the big guy; afterwards pushing him away from me. Uncle Ben comes over to my aid and more people begin to enter the room. New people. Uncle Ben stays by my side protecting me from the other people until they put there hands up in surrender even though they had there own bigger weapons to kill us with.

"We are not one of them" Someone speaks loud and clear then one of them comes over to me checking my wrist until Uncle Ben interfered with him and told him to back away.

"He needs medic" The random outsider with blue eyes and the dark brown hair says that isn't rough but handles it carefully. He tried helping but he kept his distance due to Uncle Ben.

"Get away from him!"

"Son, we can help you. Please put the weapon down" The random man with blank expression says and I can't bare the pain of my wrist. The conversation would go back and forth until what seems to be their leader enters, terminating it all. A man with dark ice cold blue eyes not like others that can look right through you. He contains black tar hair and is a bit bearded with this intimidating posture that can bring anyone down. As I look at his face everything about this man felt odd. Suddenly this weird deep feeling strikes through my risen chest. A feeling I don't appreciate. Something with that man felt completely different for me, like my world will come crashing down.

"Who are you two?" The man's voice is heavy, deep and clear, and then Uncle Ben carefully picks me up from the floor.

"We are runaways from camp 5" Uncle Ben says to the man and my wrist is in so much pain.

"Henry, the kid's injured he needs medic" 

"I think we should kill these ments here" The muscular young guy who caused my injury comes from behind and Uncle Ben is the first to send him a death stare.
