Tank in wonderland
Chapter. 1
"If I had a world of my own, everything would be nonsense, nothing will be what it is, because everything will be what it isn't" -Almost Alice (Shinedown)
Tank Dempsey stormed out of his parents room, anger consumed him, his long brown boots kicked the floor and he straightened his short sleeve black jacket and slammed the door to the outer of the house open. "TANK, SON YOU BETTER COME BACK HERE YOUNG MAN" his father yelled from the window that was high up. Tank had a big house which to him he sadly shared with his bossy parents, his annoying little sister, and his grandparents. Tank loved his grandparents everyday they would sit him outside in the living room and tell him a story that had always caught his attention no matter what he was busy with.
"Fuck this" he cursed under his breath. "I WONT MARRY HER" he yelled. "Slut" he mumbled.
"TANK DEMPSEY YOU GET HERE NOW" his mother yelled while his father followed him outside to the green grassy garden.
The huge green land was relaxing, sadly it didn't manage to calm the frustrated American. "Son, why won't you? She's beautiful, smart, and she really really loves you"
Dempsey turned around to face his father, the grown man had black hair, his face showed marks of old age and his eyes still had the blue shine, he wore a long sleeve Victorian shirt that was purple colored and black pants with long boots. Dempsey rolled his eyes "Well I don't love her" he said before going back to walking to the colorful garden. "She's a bitch. All she wants is your money dad; trust me she ain't no fairy tale princess"
Tank's father let out a shocked gasp. "Son how dare you speak such filthy words" his father placed a shaking hand on his chest.
Dempsey smirked. "Dad were not in the ancient years you use to live in, things change. I'm no you or mom or Grandpa" it was true Dempsey didn't give attitude it's right he was like any other kid in these modern years, those kind of words were easy on their tongues.
"Tank, son listen to us, she does really love you"
"I SAID I WONT MARRY HER" Dempsey yelled spooking his poor father. He took the chance and ran back to the house, running up the stairs, and going to his room. Not minutes later someone knocked on his door. "Go away" he shooed the person with a signal of his hands even though he knew the person behind the door couldn't see it.
"Tank, hey Kiddo it's me" Tank jumped out of the bed, his grandfather's voice was the best thing that happened to him since he woke up to this miserable day. He unlocked the chains on the door and unlocked the lock on the door before opening it and stepping aside letting the old man come in.
"Hey Grandpa" the older man smiled at his grandson, he was shaking with old age, his eyes were barely visible, Dempsey took his grandfather and sat him down on the bed.
"Ugh, this old man is not the warrior he use to be in the old Marine days, which reminds me, did you know that you can control your world no matter what people say? Like if you don't want to marry this girl then just don't, there will be other women, other opportunities, other "People" to see, some will be better, some will come as if they were just a figure of your imagination" The old man patted Dempsey, the blonde smiled and nodded, the words were true though simple, those spoken letters meant the world to Tank.
"Hey grandpa" Dempsey looked at the older male. "Can you tell me what happens next in your story?"
Tank's grandfather chuckled at his enthusiastic grandson. "Why not leave this for later Dempsey? Now you need to relax and have some time alone to think; besides you know grandma promised to tell you the next part." Dempsey nodded in understanding as his grandfather patted his head; he stood up with a sigh. "I'll see you later champ" with that Dempsey's grandpa left the man to wonder and gather his thoughts.
Standing up, Tank moved to the window and took a wooden chair he sat down on it and stared out side to the world, the blue sky was so clear, the sun sent its ray all over the area reflecting a beautiful sparkling glitter on the surface of the water. His eyes moved from the grassy fields to a man in red, he wore a black hat with strange rabbit ears sticking out of them, he couldn't see the man's face because his back was to the American blond. But Dempsey definitely didn't see this man here before. He looked from side to side to see if anyone was near the site before he opened the glass window and jumped out. "Hey, Hey man" he ran after the bunny like person but just as the man noticed him he began to jump and run almost like a hop. "Wait up, I just want to talk" he tried to run full speed but the other man was just too fast.
"Can't stop I'm rate" the weird accent of the made Dempsey stop for a second to raise a questioning eye brow. He shook his head then went back to running.
"Wait just for a second, I just want to talk to you"
"No time" the rabbit man disappeared in one of the corners, Dempsey took a hold of and made a sharp turn only to feel himself losing balance and feeling light... He didn't realize he was falling.
