Killer-X -shadows of dark-

Chapter 20- rest

Walking for what felt like an hour through south side streets and ally ways wreckers arm over my shoulder as he leaped his way along with me. I grunted as the rain now light and gentle now trickling down throughout the neighbor hood. Guys standing outside and laughing and joking under the street light, the sound of dogs barking in the distance and every now and then cars passing by. "Around this corner..." wrecker groaned as he hopped with his free arm he held pressure to the wound the arrow still wedged in his side. I pulled around the corner to see another street "which one?" I asked wrecker. He gripped his side "Apartment complex ....third floor..ARGHH..324!" The wound began to cramp his side I quickly peaked over There was no apartment complex, Then I saw it an abandoned worn down building that said Henry's Houses. "That's been abandoned for years after the explosion..." I turned to wrecker who looked down closing his eyes softly he then leaned back resting his head against the wall. "It's home...please..I'm not feeling good." I quickly continued assisting wrecker kicking open the door and guiding him up the stairs to the third floor. "319...321..." I scanned further down looking until I seen it "324!!" I kicked open the door once more opening it, I looked around to see the room it was pretty torn down but it looked like it was cleaned to the best of its ability. Wrecker collapsed in the couch old and what use to be a green now a dirty yellowish tint to it, "medicine cabinet..." wrecker said holding his side. I rushed to the cabinet grabbing morphing, and ibuprofen along with lots of bandages and patch aids. I grabbed a near by bottle of alcohol and walked back into the living room. "Ok...I'm gonna take the arrow out..but you can't pull it... I gotta force it out the other side." I said wrecker gulped and quickly nodded taking down some of the alcohol and swallowing it. I gripped the end of the arrow and forcefully shoved it threw harder still the pain became unbearable for Wrecker, He now squirmed and shouted out in his purest form of agony wrecker grabbed onto my wrist his tight grip hardening as it caused me pain. "Hey! I need my wrist dipshit let go!" I restrained back as I turned him a bit seeing the arrow tip quickly I snapped the tip off and grabbed the arrow from the other side yanking it out once the tip was broken off.

"AGRGHHHH!!.." Wrecker looking Down at the blood now gushing from his side. Now grabbing the alcohol I poured some on the wound wrecker muffling his cry by hitting his shirt, I started to stitch it and patch it up Soon after I sat down on the floor against the wall Wrecker laying on the couch in his weakest state. "Where'd you get...your PHD in medical care.." wrecker weakly spoke lifting his shirt to check the bandaged wound.

"I didn't .. that's why your stitches look like the Flash symbol." I looked over at him.

"I don't know whether to laugh at that or be worried." He softly chuckled then stopped and coughed as the pain over took his joy. I looked by at a picture frame staring at it the picture was burned but what was left of it was Wrecker next to a pretty woman and beside his right you could barely make out a man his face now blacked out with the burned edging of the photo. "What's on your mind..?" Wrecker slowly sat up holding his side.

"Earlier you said something about having mercy on someone...they never change no matter how hard you try.." I looked over at Wrecker who was opening the bottle of alcohol.
"Yeah.."

"Only someone who's been through that type of pain would only know..wouldn't they.." I slowly held the picture and examined it taking off my upper armor part of the costume I looked back at Wrecker.

"Ryder...my brother...I knew what he was in the end but...I never wanted to believe it, Although my father chose not to follow darks path of destruction my older brother on the other hand Saw Dark as a God a legend ....a king ..After my father found out about what dark was planning he betrayed him and took me my brother and my mother we all escaped Bloodlust...moved here... a fresh start. Until They found us..Killed my mother......My brother ...turns out he sold us out to dark ..told them where we lived..killed my father ..in cold blood... People ..they don't change no matter how hard you try..I should of done something.. killed him as much as it pained me... but how could I kill my older brother...my family the worst part of it was they caused the explosion that's how my parents death were ruled out by ..hazard." Wrecker sat there drinking more.
