Bitter

Part 1

Chasidy.

He hated her, she had some kind of hold on him and she hadn't let go for over five years. He loved her more than he ever cared to think.

But she was scum, dirt, a rat. She was a traitor to the cause. She was everything that Ebony had warned the locos to steer clear of. She was the only thing that had ever kept him awake at night, the only woman he'd ever loved, except now it was different than before. Now they was hunting her down, he was the hunter and she was the hunted and when they finally caught her, which they eventually would, she would be dead.

Part of him didn't want her dead. Part of him wanted her in his arms at night more than anything in the world. Part of him wanted to relive the night they had together all those years ago. Rekindle the flame, kiss her lips again.

But another part, a stronger part, wanted her dead, wanted to watch the life trickle out of her body. Watch his great leader Ebony kill the one who betrayed him. The one who almost broke his heart.

Almost. Not Quite.

He is General McDonna now, known as MD to all who know nothing of his past, names are nothing in a world where evil overrules good in so many ways. More ways than you, on the outside could ever understand.

He took out his lighter and sparked up his last cigarette. He was going to quit after just this one, and maybe another after that. In fact, he didn't really know why he wanted to quit anymore, it wasn't like his death would make a blind bit of difference.

He took a drag, and let the carbon whip through his blood before exhaling it out of his nose, a slight smile forming on his lips at the sight before him, a man, of maybe eighteen or nineteen - clawing on the floor, palms outstretched, begging something of Ebony, his long black hair whipping about his face and his leather jacket ripped.

"McDonna!" She shouted across the pool. "Get him outta my sight!"

"Yes Maam." He nodded and walked over to where his leader was stood, looking as graceful as ever.

"No!NO!" Lex looked at Ebony, and then his eyes locked with MD, and he saw him properly for the first time, His little brother. Back from what he had always asumed was the dead. "Leo?"

Ebony raised her eyebrows. "McDonna?"

He took his brother by the arm and led him away from the fuming leader. "Lex? What the fck is going on? I thought you were dead."

"Same 'ere mate!" He looked at the older boy. "What are you doing with the locos?"

"Aww God Lex, don't tell me you've turn into a do gooder?"

He shook his head. "Man, I'm no do gooder but I aint going to waste my life in this shthole!" He touched his brothers shoulder. "Get out. While you still can."

MD shrugged away. "No. I'm making something of myself here Lex, and guess what? I'm not second best anymore. Not here. Not like when I'm with you. Get outta my face. Outta my life. Forever this time. I don't wanna know!"

Lex shook his head again before shrugging his shoulders. "Whatever man." He walked away.

MD turned his back, his dark eyes looking around, short dark hair scraped up into a half mohawk. He looked at his watch. It never did tell the damn time straight.

"MD!MD! Come quick mate! They think they've found Chase!"
