Blood lust.

Chapter 19- Red X.

The next morning would come as Mel slowly opened his eyes. His vision was a bit blurry as he felt soreness surge throughout his body. A growl escaped his throat as he slowly leaned forward. A sharp pain in his side causing him to yelp a bit. Lyla would run upstairs. Looking straight into mels eyes as Mel slowly got off the table. Lyla rushes to him, wrapping her arms around his waist. Holding him in a tight embrace. Mel would slowly hug back. Smiling as he checked the time on the clock upon the kitchen wall. 5:39 am. Mel would slowly walk downstairs. Zach would look over at Mel, sipping coffee as a sheet of cloth covered over something. Zach would nod his head. "Thank god you're awake... that fight made me realize something. We can't have you just going out in cloth anymore. So I made you this." Zach would remove the cloth showing a brand new suit. The suit was pitch black. Military grade tactical gear. The suit had cargo pants with r.a.t boots at the bottom. Instead of a vest. It was a entire jacket. A slim jacket with a red X on the right chest. A helmet laid on the desk, the eyes of the helmet glowing blood red. "..." Mel would walk over, lifting up the Helmet before putting it down. "It's cool and all. But it isn't me." Mel would put it down, walking over to Zach as the two embraced. A tight warm hug within them as Zach broke away. "It's made of small sheets of titanium and an extra layer of Kevlar. The sheet of titanium and Kevlar are able to be extremely flexible to your needs. The pants as well, the helmet is bullet proof. A voice modifier built in within it. Always disguising your voice. It's also able to scan through certain metals and also has x-ray vision." Zach slowly broke away. Tossing Mel a pair of clothes. "I'm not gonna force you to have it, but it's always here for you brother." Zach walked upstairs. A small component attached to the right forearm of the suit. Mel would get dress, the outfit was a simple white t-shirt, blue jeans and some converses high tops. Mel would then look over at lyla who just stood there. "You know you need it right? She could of killed you. That suit can withstand so much, and it's nice on you."

Mel would lightly smile. "I'm fine. Still here aren't I?"

"You look like hammered shit."

"Damn fuck you, didn't need to hurt my feelings like that, dick." Mel would chuckle as lyla laughed. Mel walking upstairs as the time read 6. Mel would nod at Zach as the two began to walk to the school. Zach wearing a black shirt and black shorts. Black sun glasses on his face as he walked with his brother.  The two would eventually make it to the school. The earliest kids there as they simply leaned against the wall. Mel holding his side as he growled a bit. "It stings with movement."

"I bet." Zach would fold his arms, resting his head against the back of the wall.  Mel would crack his neck.

As time flew by, more kids began to arrive as school has begun. The boys went through their appointed classes. Not a care in the world, now lunch begun. The boys would sit down alone. "We need a new plan."

"For Emily?"

"Yeah, I was thinking instead of fighting her. We trap her... yeah, so? Next idea!"

"I mean.. it could work."

Suddenly, the boy from before would turn his head towards Mel and Zach's direction. Yelling. "Hey! Mel and Zach? You guys can sit here if you want." The boy was talking to the same girl who cried in mels arms. Mel would look at Zach. Zach adjusting his shades as they both exchanged a nod. Mel and Zach stood up, ambling towards their table before Mel sat in front of the boy, Zach sitting next to the girl.

"Hey man." Mel said smiling.

"Hey beautiful." Zach said towards the female.

The boy would look at Mel. "What's up? How is everything situated?"

"Nothing really." Mel would give off a warm smile. His side aching of pain as he groans a bit. "Everting is situated pretty good. So far at least."
