"Hands Off My Life"
This story is purely written, similar to a diary entry. Showing Falco's life, before joining the Starfox team.
I guess you could say i am quite a selfish, stubborn falcon. I will admit it, i do get jelous for stupid reasons, hoping to be the best at everything. But that is just the way i am, just, well.... me. But i really am not a bad guy, i mean, i would not of joined the Starfox team if i was. Even though i was the leader of the Hot Rodders, i was still bullied their. I felt alone.. as if no one cared about me.
It started with my family, i was only 6 when my sister was born, Taritha. Ever since that day, it was like she was an only child, that i was just a tag along only there because i was a mistake. I would always get into trouble, but Taritha wouldn't. It just did not seem fair, what did i do wrong? By the time i was 10, i started to get bullied at school, i was never accepted, not even by my own family. I sat on my own in Flight lessons when a receptionist called me out. She told me that she had bad news, my mum was on the phone. I was beginning to worry, mum would not have called for me unless something so tragic had happened, or was about to happen.
I was shaking as i went to answer the phone, i whispered so lightly, hello. Mum answered, i could hear her crying through the phone, she was trying so hard to tell me what was wrong, but she could not get the words. Tears began to shred through my eyes, hearing mum upset made me upset. Those few moments, waiting for mum to tell me what was wrong, it was like a gun was pointing to me, waiting for the trigger to be pulled. I was on my own in the reception, all i could hear was mum's crying through the phone. But just as i was about to tell her to speak, she did.
"Falco, dear. I am sorry to tell you this, but, It's your sister.. she is dead."
As soon as she told me, everything went in slow motion, my heartbeat, the pounding in my head, i started to feel sick. I could hardly move, i was frozen. No matter how much i tried, i could not even speak. My eyes slowly began to close, everything turned white, i lost grasp of the phone. It went dark.
I woke up in the medical room, as my eyes slowly opened, i saw my mum, dad and two nurses by my side. They asked me if i was feeling any better. I just nodded. I turned to face my mum, who looked a wreck, she had blood over her shirt. I thought to myself that it was my sister's blood, what happened to her? My mum stroked my head, then kissed my forehead. I tried to stand, but my legs were too weak. The nurses said that i would have to rest here for a few hours. Luckily i was able to talk.
"Mum, wh- what happened to her? Why are you covered in blood?". Just as i asked, i could see mum's eyes begin to water, she tried to be brave in front of me. "She was attacked, stabbed in the heart.". I could not belive it, who could do such a thing to her, she was only 4, it's not fair. I turned my head away from mum, starting to cry, so did mum. Dad walked out of the room.
I was eventually allowed out of the room, so mum, dad and me headed back home, as the sun was setting...
