Icarus

CHAPTER TWO-THE FIGHT

I hit him on the right side of him face and he stumbled. He swung a low kick and I jumped it. Punches were flying after that. He uppercutted he and got a hit across the side of my face. I swung a kick at his shin and got him. Hard. I heard his leg snap and he cried out in pain before falling to the floor. He grabbed the gun from a few feet away and aimed it directly at Masies unconscious body I kicked it up which backfired because he grabbed my ankle and tripped me. The gun went off and hit the ceiling ricocheting and hit him in the shoulder. I got another kick on him before remembering Masie. He was moaning in pain but I ignored him as I picked Masie up and ran all of the way to the Med clinic in the upper semi. She was unconscious but alive. People rushed to her and within the minute she was on a cot with doctors frantically trying to save the young child. Mamá Gonzales was crying into her son, Eric's chest. Then people started swarming me. They led me through one of the doors and set me down in a room. A nurse that I knew as Cassilee handed me a mirror and I examined how screwed up I looked. And with every wound I noticed, more pain came back.
    I had a small  cut on my cheek from where his dagger had skimmed me. My eye was bruised but not swollen and my lip was bleeding. My knuckles were bruised purple and my legs were bruised. She hooked me up to a pain killer and I immeadiently got dizzy and tired but there was so much work to do....I couldn't sleep...I couldn't......

  Maisie's Doctors
The girl was bleeding internally from what looked like 2 stab wounds to the abdomen and her hand was broken in 2 places. We rushed her to surgery and now she is in recovery until she wakes up. She is critical and could stop breathing at any second. But she was alive.
     Miss Merrit has been unconscious for almost 24 hours. She has a concussion and a bullet grazing on her shoulder that will definitely scar. But she will be fine. Her concussion is pretty severe and she will have to be in recovery for a week to deal with an ear splitting headache.
      The waiting room is not meant to hold so many people. It is crowded and smelly. The one person I don't see is miss merits father.

Icarus and Daedalus
     "My boy, it worked" Daedalus yelled as his invention flapped to life after the wave of a willow branch.
     "It WORKED!"
      "FATHER, WERE GOING TO FLY!"
      "DARN RIGHT WERE GOING TO FLY"
   The duo embraced in a tight hug, celebrating the creation of wings. They didn't waste a second. Soon young Icarus was shirtless and face down on a table, a leather belt in his mouth to shield his screams. This may sound very wired for someone un firmiliar with this story, this is a story not very commonly known, it is the story of a boy named Icarus.
      It goes like this, a boy is given wings by his father, blah blah blah, the boy is warned to to fly to high or low, blah blah blah, the boy doesn't listen and ends up dead. That is the completely wrong story. This is the true story.
     So back to our father and son. The father, Daedalus, takes ice all around his sons back before plunging in with a knife and cutting. Icarus's screams were louder than loud. Then they stopped as he passed out from the immense pain. The father sighed in relief as he began to sew wings to his beloved boy. Sewn in with golden thread. And a lot of blood. The wings were held up by ropes on the ceiling. Daedalus was on the verge of tears from hurting his boy so much. When it was over, he slept on the floor, awaiting the wake of his son. The wings were sewn into flesh with golden thread and glued with hot wax from a hundred year old candle. The wings were beautiful. They were made of wax and feathers and tarp and metal and gold and hard work. The duos plan was coming to life. 7 hard years of work were finally paying off. 
     Icarus woke before his father and untied his own wings. They were as tall as himself and as long as his arm span. They folded perfectly into his back when he wasn't using them. Then his father woke when he heard the flapping of the flying boy.
   "ICARUS" he called out to his son, who was flying circles around the workshop. Daedalus ran to the window and thrust it open, just in time for his son to fly through. He flew majestically through the sunrise. Looping around and around and up and down. Daedalus was awestruck. He landed softly on his feet and ran towards his son. They hugged and Icarus ignored the throbbing pain in his back. He could fly! They were finally leaving this excuse for and island.  They left without a second thought. They flew across the ocean as the days flew by. They hadn't considered food. They were starving and Icarus could barely move with the weight of his father on his back. Soon they were falling into the water below. The adrenaline rushes to Icarus and he swings his father over his wing to his chest and wraps his wings around them. They were a human torpedo, swirling around like a rocket. The water was cold, but they were burning in the hot shell of a torpedo rocketing through the ocean. Icarus was sweating and he could feel his sleeping father stirring from the heat. Drops of water seemed to slowly fall through the hollowness of his wings. Then the air turned fowl. It's smelled and the heat got hotter. Icarus threw his hand over his fathers mouth and held his breath. His father woke up and went wide eyed. Then they were just fell in air.and landed on a stone floor. Then he blacked out.

    "With Ellie out and the new guys unconscious in the icu we are falling apart. Mama Gonzolas is a mess so the newbies are taking care of the children.were a mess." I wrote the words on parchment and gave to my messenger, Alby or Bobby or something like that to send to my wife at home. I spoke to her once a week. She was raising our daughter while I looked over Ellie. Now I was failing. Before Ellie's mother died she told me to watch over Ellie through everything. I was in the foster homes with her. I moved where she went and stalked her from afar. I followed her here and I wasn't leaving until she was dead. Now she won't wake up and I feel like I have failed poor Amelia.i was not letting Ellie die. Not yet.
