The Picture On The Mantelpiece - Sully's Backstory - My Version (Homicidal Liu)

Chapter Seven- Settled For The End

Satisfied with his response I lead him across the backroom and out into the rundown garden with scrap junk scattered across the hay looking grass, we never really took care of the garden it was the least of our worries. Plus, not like they'll take much notice, fury was the main aurora at the moment.

Randy, however had stayed put in the room; quote on quote 'I'm not bothered, I know you'll get 'im anyways' so it was just me and the two brothers, with Jeff clinging onto Liu trying to talk him out of this.

"You ready, Woods?" I asked leaning against the fence, probably getting a splinter or two as the wood was already worn down.

Glancing over at me driving his attention away from his crystal eyed brother Liu nodded negligent of any consequence we might receive from this little brawl.

Hissing at the slight pain in my back from fragments of the fence that were digging into my back, I groaned knowing I was already disadvantaged.

Both of us got into some sort of fighting stance, it was an awkward starting contest at first each of us gesturing one of us to start the first move. But, we didn't we just...stood...eyes locking- judging eachother. His enchanting green eyes seemed to frown upon my faded mint ones, I just thought he was a pure coward just arisen on his feet.

Finally, my attention spam cut off and I swung an uppercut something I've seen done alot before, only for Liu to catch my fist and try and twist it forcefully around my back causing a yanking sensation like it was being spun out of it's socket.

Quickly searching for a backlash, I used what I think is called a knife hand strike and whacked him in the neck causing him to let my arm go, stunning the both of us for a second.

"Clever move, Woods." I snarled sarcastically, though I was impressed, what was I expecting? He went to martial arts, he knows what he's doing, I learnt of the streets.

"Could say the same to you, if you were any good at it." Liu teased in a response not looking half as taken aback as me.

As soon as Liu wound me up he threw a haymaker punch at me and it had a slight delay in reaction as it hit my jaw, making me slip backwards mouth open moderately as I'd bit my tongue.

"Fuckin' hell..." I mumbled flinging myself into a more comfortable position dazed.

Building up with anger I retaliated with a roundhouse punch at his nose, feeling it crunch under my fist; I became more confident than before.

Grunting Liu wiped the newly forming blood dripping over his lip hissing at the pain eyes fluttering trying to process our stances.

Taking my chances I attempted to trip him up while he examined everything only for him to twist his leg around mine and flip me onto my back, "Not so fast."

"Not so fast..." I mocked using a higher pitch.

Jumping forwards, I pulled him onto the grass by his ankle cracking it around to the side spraining the muscle as he winced.

We rustled around rolling on the grass for a bit throwing the odd punch here and there, it all became a blur for a while I could hear Jeff yelling in the background though.

The world was just a fuzzy spinning circle as I thrashed and kicked here and there, both of us just in pure agony and wrapped in hatred to even think about anything else.

That.. that was until I took it too far.

Hastily, I threw a left hook at his jaw and a splash of blood spluttered out of his mouth as he looked up at me in shock, I repeated that a few times until my hands were coated in both fresh and dry blood and he just laid there letting me, like it didn't even satisfy him. Like he wanted me to beat him up.

"SULLY! GET OFF!" Jeff cried out to me his voice quavering as his bottom lip was clearly trembling just by the way he stuttered.

I growled landing one last punch before sitting up on his stomach looking down at him, face looking like I'd just emptied fake blood down onto him like an immature child on Halloween. For some reason, I enjoyed this. Watching him look around weakly.

"You...haven't won." Liu coughed expectorating a thick crimson liquid slipping out his mouth like a syrup.

I raised my eyebrow until he picked up a rock and launched it at my face causing me to fall backwards, "Fuck..."

Hit.
After hit.
After hit.

He kept smashing the rock onto my face drastically until it was smothered with both my own blood and his that dripped from pretty much every angle, I squirmed attempting to retrieve the rock off of him.

"Shi- LIU!" Jeffery squeaked in panic, I think he was shivering but I had my eyes squeezed shut in order for my own blood not to seep through my eyelids somehow.

I managed to kick him off before I hunched over coughing my guts out at the seems and Liu bent over the fence letting all the lose blood drip out of his mouth, we were in trouble...that's to say the least.

"Liu!" The ocean eyed kid, who'd done nothing at all to support anyone, ran over to check on his older brother.

Soon enough, I managed to pull myself onto my feet a massive headache spinning onto me as the world spiralled around. Damn it...we can't go back in like this.

Jeff must of been pissed off because he threw something at the back of my head but I was in to much discomfort and strained as I panted with extension.

Then, being late as it was, Randy crept outside before darting across the burnt out grass patches of marron were now showing up soaked in the purplish red substance.

"Dude!" He ululated looking worrisome ignoring the other siblings as he lifted my chin to check what 'damage' had been done.

I pushed him away, "I-Im fine." I managed to whisper gasping and gulping; out of breath.

"What the hell did you do, Harrison!" Jeff shrieked at me blood streaks on his face from where he's wiped his brothers blood onto it.

"What did Sully do? Look at 'im!" Randy safeguarded me using his jacket to clean me up.

Exasperated my ribs felt like they were closing in on me as my breathing tightened, Liu looked like he was struggling to exhale too.

Well, this isn't going to look too good.

"OH MY GOD!"

Shit.

The Woods parents plus our mother were just a few feet behind me, frowning down at us.

"Sullivan! Get inside with Randy, now!" Mum howled out disappointed in us.

With Randys support: I managed to clumber inside...and I think I got a few samples of what Lius and Jeffs parents practically screeched at them.

"This. This is going to ruin our reputation! What were you thinking!"

"And we're going to have to definitely do something to take the blame off of us."

"We will talk when we get home, no excuses. After all, we won't cause more of a scene."
