A/N: Might be considered AU. Also the two main characters in this chapter (guess who:D) are a bit older in this. Like 15 or 16. Please enjoy.
Hero of the Day
Chapter 1: Remember Tomorrow
"What do you think you're doing! Leave that poor kid alone!" A girl was running up the path from a little ways back. She had long brown hair and brown eyes. Although they seemed to be tinted red, by fire itself… She wore a pink shirt, with a blouse-like shirt over the top part colored purple and a knee length skirt that matched in color.
I was hiding in the trees along the path as I saw her run up. I looked at her for a second then noticed what she was heading for.
From the trees I watched a young pair of kids being pushed around by a group of four older guys, at least two years older than myself. I assumed the young boy and girl were dating when I saw them holding hands in front of me a half-mile back.
I was in a horrible situation, everything inside of me screamed out. I wanted to run out there and stop them. I wanted to be strong enough to beat all four of them by myself. But no, I sat there watching. And just when I thought this couldn't be any more horrible, a beautiful girl runs straight into the mess.
One of the older guys laughed, "Well what do we have here? Must be my lucky day."
The girl looked around noticing what she had got into. The four guys started to surround her, but without a word the two younger kids got up and ran off.
They had just crossed the line. There was NO way that I would sit here and watch this. Even though there was nearly nothing I could do, I could get lucky and at least let her run away, just as she did for those kids.
I grabbed a giant stick from under my feet. It wasn't a normal skinny stick; it was like a mini tree trunk. All of a sudden I jumped out of the woods and ran at the circle. There was no time for anyone to react; I swung the branch into the back of one guy's head as hard as I could.
He winced and went down on his knees. He put his hands down on the ground; in total shock he just sat their motionless. He looked like he was ready to faint. I raised the branch over my head and tried to swing down on top of his head, in my rage, my intent became to damage, to wipe him out, to kill.
As my swing came down, a sharp pain blew into my side. Someone punched me, and hard. I went to the side and the branch flew out of my hands, but not before hitting the one guy hard on the shoulder. He lied down on the ground.
"Who the hell is that?" One of the three standing guys sidestepped to avoid my moving body from when I was hit by his friend.
"Someone who wants to be ripped apart." The apparent leader of the group walked over towards me, the other two following.
"Run away… run away…" I tried to shout but only a whisper came out as I fell to the ground. The girl hadn't moved. She was standing there staring.
I stood up on one knee as the group started to surround me. I wasn't going to sit there and wait for something to happen, fueled by adrenaline, I leapt up and swung at the leader's face.
The other two guys blocked my path and cut off my attack. "You aren't going to surprise anyone again." One of them said. He twisted my arm until it nearly broke and pushed me back.
The brown haired girl looked like she was going to cry but then shouted, "STOP IT." She ran over and kicked the guy, who pushed me, in the back, and hard. He bent over and muttered in pain.
The leader grabbed under her arms and held her. "You little-" I broke free of the guy holding me and punched him in the gut. He let out a moan and the girl broke free. Then simultaneously, the other two guys punched me hard in opposite sides. I went down on the ground; it barely hurt because I was nearly unconscious.
A/N: Ok, then. First chapter… pretty short just wanted to get it posted. Um pretty much just an action starting scene, not much description or storyline yet. Decided to do first person Isaac. Review please: )
Note: I don't know why but there doesn't seem to be a scroll menu for chapters, so if you wish to continue to chapter 2 and so on, just change the 1 from 2 in the link.
