Never Ending Dark

Chapter Four - The Past: Part 2

As I heard the sirens closing in I felt the man tense up against my back. "FUCK! HURRY UP, BITCH" He said starting to freak out.

The closer they got the more paranoid the robber got, that and added with my father pleading him not to kill me. Why was this happening? Why did I have to be the one with the gun to her head? What did I do?

I was more annoyed and pissed now than I was scared of him, I just wanted him dead, or finally out of the store so I could feel my scalp again. He's pulling so much on my hair it"s starting to burn. I just want to be in my Dad's arms right now.

"Daddy." I said.

"Yes baby?" He asked tears filling his eyes.

"Stop pleading or he will kill you or me possibly both of us... please." I added at the end, I didn't like that my Father was almost crying in fact I've never seen him cry.

He didn't respond to me after that. The man was now losing his mind till next thing I knew, he had the money and fired the gun, at what I thought was the waitress. But of course I was so wrong.

BANG!!!!!! Everything went silent, as if time had stopped.

I heard a thump behind me. Like what sounded like a body had just hit the floor. NO NO NO PLEASE TELL ME IT'S NOT WHAT I THINK IT IS, I thought and looked behind me at what I thought could of been a table falling or the plant pot close to our table falling of the counter.

But it wasn't. When I looked behind me there was my dad on the floor fighting for his breath and bleeding uncontrollably from his abdomen.

"DADDY!!!" I yelled, falling to the floor on my knees, pulling his head onto my thighs, blood started pooling out of his moth as he tried to speak to me. "Dad! Dad! you can't leave me. fight this please, the paramedics will be here soon!"

But he knew he wasn't going to make it, and so did I, so I let him say what he had to say. I leaned down closer to hear what he was saying. "I love you Sweet-Pea, so much I will watch over you and your mom... I love you both so much take... care of her...I will look after you" He said hoarsely.

"I love you too dad please don't leave me, fight it, don't go." I pleaded. He put his hand on my cheek and stroked it.

Then it went limp and his eyes closed.

I looked up, seeing nothing but red as tears streamed down my cheeks and onto my father's stilling body. My eyes focused my dad's murderer and he looked, we made eye contact. I saw terror flicker across his face, he was almost shaking under my stare.

He mouthed I'm sorry at me and he generally looked upset and surprised that he shot someone.

"I WILL FIND YOU AND I WILL KILL YOU WITH MY OWN TWO HANDS I SWEAR TO GOD I WILL." I yelled at him with venom in my voice.

He looked at me, now I defiantly saw terror in his eyes and his knees were shaking a lot, he fell a few times when he was running to get to his car.

~End Of Flash Back~

I shivered as I remembered this, after that a lot changed in my life. Once I turned fifteen I started to train. Even started to go to street fights. My guard is always up. Now I'm a junior in high school, I'm seventeen now. you may think that it's a little crazy that I do that but I don't want to feel as weak as I did then, so I changed myself. Mentally and physically.

I go to Nolan High School with our mascot, The Jaguar. I always loved that animal, I don't know why but they just seem mysterious and warrior like. I always thought it suited the school, all of the students that go to this school work so hard. Plus we'er all part of a strong community it's awesome. When my Dad died, Everyone in town pulled together and help my Mom and so much.

The teacher walked in and took a few minutes to get the class lesson up. I took my headphones out, not happy about the lack of music but I'd get over it. I'm manly in this class for extra credit, it usually passes by quickly. All I want to do to do honestly is get to second hour.

After the assignment it passed out I pull out my school laptop to do the reachsearch done so I have no homework for this class when I get home. But I'm not looking forward to the group assessment after this, I always get suck with doing all the work half the time.
