Wisdom and Bravery

      I got cleaned up and walked into the kitchen. Everyone ate than we decided that we'd all go out to the shopping plaza that was close by. We all got in the car and started going when I noticed something was under our windshield wipers. It was a note. When we got to the plaza we all went infront of the car. Roman took the note off and read it.

      "You've started war with the devil, watch your back child!!!"

      Oh my gosh I can't even right now. I wasn't upset about this, more mad.

      "Are you f'n serious right now! I didn't do anything to them, I legit haven't even been in their house in 2years now this! They started this and I swear to got I'll finish it!"

      Roman Dean and Seth all had to calm me down. I was screaming in the parking lot when something came flying through the air in hit me in the head. Some group of teenagers threw a snowball at my head. I couldn't hold it in anymore. I walked right up to the boy who threw the ball.

      "DO YOU THINK IT'S F'N FUNNY TO THROUGH SNOWBALLS AT RANDOM STRANGERS!!!"

      "Yes..."

      "Well be careful cause not all strangers are friendly."

      After I said that I gave him a right hook to the face. I started to walk over to my brothers, who all looked shocked. I just laughed at their faces.

      "I'm done playing games. If you're gonna poke me with a stick then I'll burn it."

      They all nodded still somewhat surprised, and we all walked into the plaza. Their where Santa's ringing bells and lights hung up in store windows. It all seemed so festive, but honestly I never cared for Christmas to much. While growing up I never celebrated a Christmas or had a Christmas feast, and when my parents through the parties they'd keep Rebeca and I in the basement.

      We came across a stand that sold dream catchers. When we walked in an old Somoan lady greeted us. She had long white hair and vibrant blue eyes. She watched me as we where looking through dream catchers. I found one of four wolves and instantly fell in love. When we went to go buy it the lady was still staring at me.

      After we bought it the lady came around the counter and held my head with an outstretched arm. I stood still and looked her in the eyes, never breaking eye contact.

      "You are special my dear, keep your head up. Don't back down to anything and you will succeed."

      She took her hand off my head and hugged me. I hugged her back. Seth and Dean where standing a few feet away and Roman was standing next to me. Roman said something in Saomoan to the lady and she replied in Samoan to.

      We all walked away from the stand together. Dean was carying my dream catcher in a bad. Seth and Dean looked a little shocked by what happened between me and the lady, but Roman didn't seem bothered at all.

      "Roman did you know who that lady was in the shop."

      "I didn't know her personally kiddo, but there are old Samoan ladies that tell fortunes and give advice to people to have a good future. She was one of them."

      "Why did she give me advice I didn't ask for? Not that I didn't appreciate it or anything, but why?"

      "I don't know but in Samoan culture its said to be a great honor to have your fortune read or be given advice by onw of those ladies without asking. They say it means your special and will do something important before you die."

      I was surprised by this. Was I really gonna do something important in the future? I was so into my thoughts that I didn't even realize that we had stopped to eat. After eating we went to a few more shops.

      At one shop I felt uncomfortable. I decided to ignore that. I went to the changing room to try on a green shirt. When I looked in the mirror I noticed that all the marks on my arms where nearly gone and my neck wasn't purple. After I got changed back into my normal clothes I started heading back to the guys.

      While heading back someone came up from behind me and tried to cover my mouth. I didn't let them, I stepped really hard on their foot, making them scream, then turned around. It was my dad, shit. I started to run straight for any of my brothers when my mom jumped out of nowhere and nocked me down.

      She was on top of me. I started throwing blind punches left and right. I guess someone saw what was happening and told Dean. As soon as Dean walked over to us my mom started to run. She wasn't gonna get away that easily. She wanted a war, so for Christmas I'm gonna give her a war.

      I chased her out into the parking lot and jumped on her back, she instantly fell to her knees. I put her in a special type of chokehold. Dean Roman and Seth where short behind me. Seth was calling the police. In only seconds the police arrived thanking me and telling me about how brave I was.

      Soon a camera crew for Good Morning America came up to me. One man was asking me questions.

      "Hello, what's your name and how old are you?"

      "I'm Alisa and I'm 16."

      "Did you know the lady who attacked you?"

      "Yes."

      "Who was she?"

      "I'd rather not say."

      "How where you able to stay brave at a time like this?"

      "I wasn't brave. I was just as scared as anyone else was in that plaza, but I wasn't just gonna let her hit me than run off."

      He thanked me for my time and shook my hand. We got in the car and headed back to the hotel.  It was 9 at night and I was so tired I went straight to bed.
