The Wolf Who Slithered With Cobras

Chapter 2

Carlos-POV-----------------------------------------

It was nighttime and usually, me and Miguel are in the house right now getting ready for dinner. But mom wanted us to walk down to the local store to get Nanna some Pepto. But I didn't mind, I'm pretty sure Miguel didn't either. It was a good opportunity to get out of the house anyway. We walked into the store to see the guy from earlier. (Hi where's the Pepto-Bismol) (third aisle on the left) (thanks man) I said giving him a smile. I followed Miguel to the aisle "you think he let me get a job here" I asked. "I don't know, why" Miguel asked. I tilted my head and looked him in the eye. "Come on dude, you know why, I just need 500 more bucks to get this dirt bike" I said. "Dude you're still on about that I thought Mom told you no" he said. I groaned loudly before looking at him. "Ok, yes she did and I'm tired of being crowded in her car. And plus I already got my license" I replied. "What can't you wait for a little bit longer, just a little bit" he asked. "Why what's wrong" I asked concerned. "It's just, nevermind it's nothing"he said. "No for real tell me what's wrong" I said. "I don't want to lose my big brother to work, after all I just got you back" he said. "Is that what you're worried about you won't ever lose me" I said smiling. He then gave me his baby face which I couldn't refuse. "All right fine, I'll wait okay just stop giving me the face" I said. "yes thank you" he said happily.

We went back over to pay for it the Pepto. And the guy and Miguel kept staring at each other awkwardly. "Are grandmas not feeling well?" I said trying to break the ice. "I didn't ask, come on what's Spanish for just give you my freaking Pizza" he said angrily. "Actúa Como un niño pequeño con Nueces pequeñas" (he's acting like a little boy with small nuts). Me and Miguel both laughed to ourselves at his comment. "What did he say," the guy asked. "you don't want to know, "I said. "He said that you have a tiny you know". He then looks down at himself and then back at the cashier. "You said I have a tiny Wang" he asked. "I speak English asshole" the cashier replied. "Oh really, I don't care," the man said before throwing the money down on the counter. with that, the very angry man walked out of the store. As he walked out not even a second later 4 guys that look like they were in high school walked in asking where the beer was. I could sense they were trouble as I looked at the group. "Hey, I'm going to go grab the milk real quick do not say a word" I said in a serious tone. "Wait what do you mean" my brother asked. "I'm serious Miguel if you say a word you're going to get the biggest nuggy of your life," I said. I then went back to the isles to get some milk. When I came back Miguel was nowhere to be found. "Hey man, what the hell where's my brother" I asked panicking. "Some guys started to hassling him and took him outside"he answered. "dammit Miguel I said don't say anything," I said before running outside.

When I got outside they were surrounding him and poured the Pepto-Bismol on his head. And that's when I intercepted yelling "HEY" I shouted grabbing their attention. I jumped straight in front of Miguel shielding him from the guys."What do you guys want" I asked? "Your dumbass brother blew up our spot for beer" one guy said. "look he's sorry, but don't call my brother a dumbass," I said feeling my blood pressure rising. A smile crept on the guy's faces and one of them leaned into my face. "Your. Brother. Is. A. Dumb. Ass" he said it's taunting me. And the right thing in there is when I snapped. I threw a right hook knocking the guy backward. That's when the rest started to act. One grabbed me from behind while the other was punching me in the stomach. I could hear the pleads of Miguel but I chose to ignore them. I used my legs to kick the guy in the face to get them away from me. I then through my head back hitting the guy in the face. But I have forgotten how many people were there during the fight. and one of them came out from behind me and hit me in the back of the head making me fall. the guy I punched earlier than pick me up and punched me in the face making me fall on the hood of a red car. Two of the guys started pinning my arms down. Miguel tried to stop them only to be shoved on the ground. "Leave him alone you prick" I yelled threw the blood in my mouth.

The response came with a backhand that made spit up blood. "Hey watch the car," the guy from earlier said. But I'm pretty sure everybody ignores him. "Hey bitch this is for the hit to my jaw," the kid said before hitting me. The sounds of knuckles hitting my face echoed around the parking lot. When he was catching his breath I use all of my strength left and said.  "You hit like a bitch" I said. My ears were ringing so I couldn't hear what he said. But I could see I got to him greatly. He balled his fist and prepared to hit me again. But before he could A hand and grabbed him and threw him off of me. "I said watch the car," he said. While the guys were distracted Miguel came over and helped me stand. A smile grew on all of their faces as they looked at him. "You see this guy," the dark-haired boy asked his friends. "Eat his dinner at the mini-mart like a bum," another said. "Wait I think I know this guy he's the jerk off that clean my dad septic tank," another said laughing. "That explains why he smells like shit" "okay you guys are pissing off the wrong guy on a wrong day," he said.

he looked like he was getting ready to fight all of the guys by himself. The boy with the dark hair then push the man saying "get the hell out of here loser". Then out of nowhere the guy jumped in the air and kick them in the face making him fall to the ground. He started groaning in pain looking like he hasn't done that in a while. The rest of the guys were obviously taken back by the outburst because they hesitated to fight him. The first punch was Dodge and the second was blocked followed by a roundhouse kick to one of their stomachs. He's a karate chops one of them in the face making them fall to the ground. That's when the dark-haired boy drives to in tackle but was only kick in the chest making him fall to the ground. He then turned around and kicked one of them that was leaning over in the face. A big chubby one tries to tackle him only to be punched in the gut multiple times and kicked off. Me and my brother's face both hung open in awe at what we just saw.

"Holy Shit how did you do that"Miguel shocked. "Yeah, thanks I guess" in a shocked expression. That's when I saw the dark-haired boys stand up and I know he was going to attack.  "Hey watch out"I yelled to him. But by the time he was going to turn around it was too late he already had him in a headlock. I'll slowly start limping towards him a little to help. But the guy elbowed him in the stomach and flipped him over shoulder making him hit the ground hard. He had his hands around his throat choking him. "What's the matter can't breathe," he said. I then saw red and blue flashing lights. And got nervous when the cops showed up. They automatically started attacking the guy that's had saved me. Me and Miguel Bose tried to stop what was happening to explain. But they still arrested him and left. the kids from school all got up and went to there car and drove away. As soon as they drove away hunched over in pain. "Dude mom's going to be pissed at you" "No shit you think come on helping me back in the store," I asked sticking my hand out. Miguel gave me a confused look but help me stand. "Why were you going back into the store" "well they did core all of the Pepto on top of you idiot," I said. "I think you just don't want to face the wrath of mom," he said teasing. "Yeah you're right but in the meantime, you have something else to worry about," I said grinning. "What are you talking about" he gave me a confused look. I didn't graft Miguel's head in and put it in a headlock and started nugging him. As he was fighting to get out of my grasp I started to make fun of him. "what did I tell you what was going to happen if you said a word to those guys" I said. "Ow ow ow I'm sorry I'm sorry stop please," he said begging. I let him go and we both continue to walking back into the store."
