Darkest Hour

.2.

Everything is going to be okay.

Everything I-.

Why can't I speak? I can only think to myself.

"Layla?"

Where are you you jackass.

I try to open my eyes and it's to bright. What in the fuck happen?

"What the fu-."

"Shasta?"

Why do I hear my name?

I open my eyes wider to see my mother and father standing over my bed.

Moms holding my hand and dads lighting a cigarette.

I know it's a hospital but he owns it and does as he pleases with it.

My father is a tough looking guy.

He's 6'1 with jet black hair and tan skin like mine. Tattoos cover his body and he used to be in a gang. This was years before I was born.

He left it when he met my mother.

I got his eyes and my mother's nose and lips.

As well as her shortness...

She's only 5'2 with whitish hair. I know white but it's her odd feature.

"What happen?" Is all I can say.

"There was an incident. We're not sure but we know it was gang related."

I silently nodded and took a deep breath when I tried to move.

"Be careful but if you wanna know there was a total of  10 casualties." My mother says saddened.

"Mom? Who died that I knew?"

I say getting furious more and more.

"Layla's friend was shot three times in the head." My father says flicking ashes into a tray.

"If their smart, they will stay millions of fucking feet away from my little girl. Or so god help them, I will drag their souls to hell myself."

He says pulling out his gun checking the bullets.

Jesus we are a very odd family.

"Who was it though?"

"It was Kayla." My brother says opening the door in time.

—- A week later ——

"Fuck!" I say attempting to stand up again for the 30th time today.

I was shot in my leg and it somehow missed bone and other stuff.

"Whoever did this I will find you and kill you."

I say clenching my jaw in pain.

I will hunt them down.

There was a hidden part of me.

It was dark. The native elders were right.

" There are two wolves and they are always fighting. One is darkness and despair, the other light and hope. Which one wins? The one you feed."

And I havnt fed the darkness in a while.
