(( Hello i am back with a new Chapter, it may not be quite as long, but i hope you like it, it took me a while to make ^^)
That was all months behind him now, he was halfway through the school year and he still had no more friends than Matthieu, who seemed to understand him the most, but on this day, everything was going to finally change, for the better or the worse, it was really not sure, but it was going to be something to change everyone's opinions on him, it was going to be a catastrophic event…
Feliciano was walking through the school, getting little whispers about him, they were curious about him now, but he was still afraid of a lot of the other students there who liked to use him as a glorified doormat and treat him like a piece of dirt
He walked into the classroom, where he was now sitting right next to the window, watching the cars go by since he was already done with his assignments, he and the other kids from the foster home, they escaped again and were always in the forest, the teachers have not been able to find out where they were, the police either for a matter of fact, and now the other boys from the foster care were coming to school too, they were decent, and some even got into sports, Derek in baseball and Josh was in basketball, Feliciano was into music, he could play the guitar, piano, violin, cello, accordion, and percussion, he was very good, but he only played it after school, when he was waiting for all of the police and the teachers to leave, he and his foster friends waited in the basement, and they went into the school around seven, then they got to go home at eleven, it was a slightly fair trade.
Watching the window, he noticed a huge black car, it was pulling up to the school, he saw who was inside, it was their old caretaker, and he looked very, very enraged, he almost looked like a panicked and crazed animal, panicked was from the dilated eyes, he was mad with them since he lost his business after they had escaped him and told the police how he was through a note, not a good idea at all…
Stepping from the car he was in, the caretaker took out a large gun and a knife, at this, Feliciano's eyes widened, and the man talked up the the door, near the office, he kicked the door down, and he walked inside, immediately, there were screams heard outside of the room, scared and confused as there were feet running in all directions, Feliciano looked over to a seat where Derek was supposed to be, and there was no one there, he went to go and get a drink! OH no, he had not been taught lock down rules yet!
Getting from his seat in a hurry, the Italian ran out the door and he runs down the hallway, only to come to see the caretaker, he was holding derek by his neck while he held the knife, it was getting closer and closer to his face, and the boy thought quick, he clenched his hands
" You little rats put me out of buisiness, now all of you are going to suffer, i can guarantee that, i will make sure you pay you little cretans!" the man was out of it, like there was no barrier, and the knife was getting closer and closer to the other boys neck, he had tears in his eyes as he was starting to struggle in the grip he was in, he was trying all he could to get away
Thinking quickly, the fear filled Italian started to speak, there was a pencil nearby, and the man had a nearly blind left eye, he was going to be weak there, that and he seemed to love to close his eyes while he was talking so the italian is trying to piece all of the abilities and weaknesses to try and get his foster friend free from the nut case.
" Why are you attacking Derek then? I was the one who wrote the letter, i was the one who gave it to the police, i was the one who helped them escape, if anyone put you out of business that you think you should even remotely blame, it is ME!" The Italian mustered up the courage to talk to the dark man, who closed his eyes, right before he responded with a growl
" You little shit…. How dare you!" He yelled and his grip was tightening on Darek who gave a pained squeak from the back of his throat, the Italian took the time to charge at the man, who still had his eyes closed and he stabbed the pencil in the arm holding the knife, successfully making the man drop it and scream in pain, by this time, some of the teacher opened the doors to see what was going on
They watched as Feliciano helped the other boy up, and the man started to growl, getting up, but before he could do anything, he was tackled by the principle. Mister Beilschmidt who rushed from the office after me made sure all of the people in the office were alright, they were fine, and he was currently wrestling with the deranged look on the ground.
After being tired of the skirmish going on between the principal and himself, the caretaker whipped out his gun after managing to push the other man away from him, he cocked the gun and pulled the trigger, hitting the principle in the chest, he fell down instantaneously. Not dead, but he had a serious wound, and it was still bleeding out.
Feliciano's eyes widened, he sprung into action right away, the caretaker was about to shoot the principle in the head to end his life, and that meant he was going to be taking away one of Ludwig's precious people. He was going to make him feel the pain of losing a parent, and Feliciano knew how bad it was, on several different levels, he had lost his parents and his grandfather, and his brothers were both nowhere to be found he couldn't even remember what they looked like!
He jumped on the man, and he knocked him down, he was wrestling around, trying to take the gun, he grabbed the knife and he manages to throw that to where the man can't reach it, but as he was trying to fight for the gun, there was a loud bang, several boys rushed out to help Feliciano by then, who was still fighting, he looked like he was fine, so they continued to fight. Alfred was among them.
A chinese boy, named Wang Yao, fought with a long piece of wood, and he managed to make very good use of it to be honest, he fought close range to give some of the others longer range, to be able to get close enough to make serious hits and produce damage, Kiku and Ludwig also joined the fight, along with the Hungarian girl, and a huge Russian, with the girl with the bow in her hair, and the Ukrainian female, they fought, and there were reinforcements with the man as well, he pressed a button on the phone he had, and they came charging in
Everyone was occupied at this point, making sure to cover each other, Ludwig was fighting with malice and anger over his father being shot, his brother Gilbert, was doing the same, never had anyone seen the Prussian/German so angry and not boastful or playful.
Feliciano was scared out of his socks, he did not want to move, but the only thing driving him, was the fact his foster friend was about to be killed in the first place, and several other students were in danger now, he was a coward, and his instinctive protectiveness of innocent people was very small, not because he was heartless, but because he was a chicken from the start.
He kicked the last one down, though he knocked him out, he was about to go and see how Derek was doing, but there was a shot heard again, and this time, Wang Yao fell to the ground, holding his gut in pain, curled up in a ball, once again, the man was going to shoot, but Felciano felt himself well up with anger, and charged at the caretaker ruthlessly, and he knocked him down, then though it was very out of character, he repeatedly starts to punch the mean old man in the face, breaking his nose, and making it bleed bad, he gave him two black eyes, several bruises, a huge gash in the lip, and a bleeding head from making it hit the floor the way it did. Maybe the reason he was angered was the fact another person was hurt, or the fact that he saw the way Kiku looked when he saw the Chinese teen struck down with the gun, he looked like he was about to lose it, his emotions were going to shatter, Wang Yao was his older brother, and Feliciano knew how important it was to make sure this was ended and soon.
There was one last shot, before the man passed out from his injuries, and he dropped the gun, Feliciano stood up and ran over to the principle, Ludwig and Gilbert were both holding one of his hands, while they were crying, they were worried sick, and Feliciano hurried and got the German out of the way, he looked at the bullet wound, the Principle was unconscious now, so this was going to be slightly easier than usual.
Being the fact he was living in the woods a very long time, Feliciano had a lot of medical experience, since he was able to get ahold of a book and study, he ripped a part of his uniform off and he removed the bullet, it was safe to, it was in there a little deep and the Germans were very hesitant, removing the bullet, he was able to treat the principle safely. Next he moved the the Hungarian girl who was hugging the music teacher, now Feliciano understood, Mister Roderich was he father…
He was able to handle her arm, and put it in a sling, since when she fell down, she sprained it, she thanked him and manages a small smile before the grateful music teacher did the same and he hugged the italian teenager, sitting down with his daughter, waiting for the police to show up.
Getting to the Chinese boy, Feliciano starts to talk "Hold still…. Ve, this is not too deep luckily, but hold still, this is going to hurt" with a nod of approval from the Yao, he pulled the bullet out carefully, and the teen winced, then Feliciano bandages him up, after ripping off another part of his shirt to make a good bandage to make sure it wasn't going to tear up, and so it was going to hold the blood to stifle the bleeding a little bit.
During this time, Roderich was sitting down with his daughter, Elizabeth (Elizebeta is the Hungarian Name), and he noticed a warm sticky bloodstain on his shirt, it was about where the chest was of the boy he hugged, stumped for a moment, it did not take him long at all to notice what happened, and panic started to swell in as his eyes widened in horror, this was the Italian boys blood, and it was a lot of it.
" Thank you… Feli" Yao smiled and he sat up a little, making sure not to put too much pressure on the wound, he smiled, and the other asian siblings hugged their eldest brother crying in relief, the Germans with their dad, and the Hungarian with their dad, Sadik watched the whole thing amazed, then Roderich started to yell
"Feli-" right before he could finish out the sentence, the Italian boy dropped the ground after coughing up a lot of blood, there was blood pouring out of his wounds, he holds his hand up to his chest to try and calm himself and get the pain the subsided, but it was only getting worse as he was holding it, he fall from his knees to his stomach and he curled into himself, all of the other students crowd around him to see what is the matter and they hurriedly ask each other question while Sadik looked at Feliciano in shock, then he called the ambulance.
Francis rushed over to his little cousin, seeming very panicked, and he started to yell in worry "FELI! ARE YOU ALRIGHT?! WHAT HAPPENED!" he loudly yelled, and Feliciano moved his hand, revealing the bullet hole in his chest "F-Feli.. He shot you…. Please don't die on me cousin! We'll get some help for you! I promise!" Francis had tears going down his face as he held his cousin's hand and the other
seemed limp, to Feliciano, his limbs were now like lead and he could no longer move them, soon the other foster kids gathered around as well.
" Feli… are you alright Derek asked, he was feeling guilty, this was his fault that this happened to the slightly younger male, who was now bleeding on the ground, though he had never seen him snap like that before, he was usually a coward, and there was a way of putting it nicely, making sure not to put it too harsh after all
" It's fine, but ngh…" The Italians breath became labored, and he coughed up more blood as there are sirens heard outside of the door of the school, the Italian passed out and he fell limp, his breathing almost as still as his body, the others were panicking, there were parents swarming into school to pick up their children and take them home from seeing the news bulletin several moments later, then more and more and more, though nobody ever came for the foster kids, which was worrying the teachers and some of the students.
Wheeling the boy into the ambulance, there are only a few left watching, Elizabeth and her dad, Roderich, Ludwig and Gilbert, who were watching over their father as well, Francis who was just being picked up by his parents, and the Asian siblings, who were watching the Italian be wheeled out of the area in worry as well. There is only one left in the school, grinning sickly ear to ear, the Canadian boy, and his mouth spreads into an evil cheshire smile as he watched the Italian get wheeled away and the rest of the people leave the school for the night.
In the hospital, things were not going so great, the doctors are hard at work
" BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!" went the heart machine as it was measuring the heart rate, in which was amplifying fast, it was filling the room with a tense air, making the doctors work faster
" WE'RE LOSING HIM DOCTOR! HE'S TRYING TO GO INTO A SEIZURE!" yelled a nurse as she urgently tried to get the writhing form to hold still so they could try and continue the surgery on the poor italian boy, who was near death already
" CRAP! HOLD HIM DOWN! TRY TO STABILIZE HIS BODY!" the doctor yelled, 2 of the male nurses grabbed the jolting arms and made them unable to move as someone handled the legs and they made him unable to move around much more
" ONE! TWO! CLEAR!" the doctor yelled and a nurse walked up with the tasers, they stuck them on his torso, and it didn't work.
BEEP!BEEP!BEEP!BEEP!BEEP!BEEP!BEEP!BEEP! Came the noise of the heart monitor again, though Feliciano stopped the seizure, he was still dying, the beeping continued, it was going to make some of the doctors go mad with stress, they tried it again
"ALRIGHT! CLEAR!" the doctor yelled again and another zap is heard the a very long silence, as the body breathed no longer
BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP there was a silence, and then nothing, the nurses and the doctor all looked down, and gave a small bit of respect to the Italian teen now lying dead in the hospital bed before them, they sigh in defeat, there was nothing by the prolonged beep making the noises in the room, the noises of failure to save the life of one who was still pretty much a child, merely 15 years old.
Just as they were about to unplug the machine again, there was a noise, one hopeful little noise of the machine, attached to the small brunette male
Beep…. Beep…. Beep…. Beep…. Beep… Beep… there were more as the machine continued, there was a normal heartbeat, there was breathing, perhaps they have not lost the boy, not yet, maybe they could still save him from a shortened yet doomed fate that was a bitter dark path to travel from life to death.
When they were finished with the surgery, they pulled him in to look at him to check all of his other health factors, the nurse wrote a report and took it to the head doctor, who was in his office. Knock Knock was the asking for permission to enter, while a gruff "come in" was all they needed to open the door
" Hello doctor, we have a situation, the boy that was identified as Feliciano Vargas who was brought in, we found a lot of problems sir." came the nurses urgent and serious voice as she was looking over her paper and waiting for the doctor to give a reply to the statement.
" What did you find Nurse Carter?" the doctor asked seriously and he looked at the woman who was standing in the doorway, looking him in the eye
" It turns out he has a small case of asthma, he suffers from malnutrition, from the bags under his eyes, he either suffers from night terrors, or doesn't sleep, he has old and slightly poisonous food in his system, the bullets that were shot at him were poisonous, so the poison was in his bloodstream. The others who were shot were already treated, he was the one who treated them and he did a perfect job, there was no poison left. He also looks like he suffered something from a concussion, then there are bruises everywhere on him, and bruised rib as well, they are old, but they need to be treated…" the nurse explained and she sighed, the doctor ponders on it
" Sounds bad, where are his parents?" the doctor asked and he gave a stern look tp the floor as he was trying to think
" That was another thing, sir, we don't know, he has no family and he has been living somewhere with the foster boys he is always with so noone could find them though we think they have been living in the forest i have no clue" the nurse stated and she sighed as she sat down
" That will not help us at all, tomorrow if someone shows up to see him like they did today, he is allowed to have visitors, you said earlier he is in a coma, correct?" the doctor asked and the nurse nodded, leaving the room, then she went to go and see what room was hers, this hospital was very confusing at times, and it was very large so some of the people often got lost
Going to the Italians room, the nurse made sure he was faring alright and then she checked out and went home, thinking on what was going to possibly going to happen, while she was making her dinner in her small house/
Over the next 6 weeks, a lot of people had went to see the Italian, though the ones that he had saved were the most prevalent, so was Matthieu, as he was hiding his smirks as he was looking at the comatose Italian teen, he was able to sneak in there anytime he wanted because he was not a real person anyway
Ludwig, Gilbert, Kiku, Yao, Alfred, Ivan, Francis, Derek, Josh, Elizabeth and Roderich along with the principle were there as well, school was out for a couple more days and they wanted to see the Italian before it started to make sure he was doing alright. They did not quite get it, they saw the foster boys and they never left, at all, and they were always in the same clothes, they were hungry and they refused to eat, maybe because of worry? Yeah, maybe… but there was something off, the man seemed to be yelling at them, and he didn't look like he was related so he was no father, he was saying they ran away? What did that mean?
"This is so strange, aru, this has never been so violent in town, why is this man so mad at Feli to begin with? What did he mean by a note that put him out of business and them escaping him" Yao was talking to himself, and Kiku listened to his older brother, his curiosity was starting to bubble up as well, he did make a point, what was going on?
" maybe there is more here than meets the eye, maybe we can talk to the other kids that have been staying here with Fericiano the most, they seem to know him, and they haven't left yet
" Maybe, let's give it a try, there is limited time left, i want to try and piece all of this together…" Yao stated and he walked over to the kids, having a lengthy conversation, though he seemed to be getting nowhere, so he gave up, and thanked the other teens for letting him talk to them.
"How did it go Oni-San?" Kiku asked and he looked up from his book, and he saw his older brother never really got anywhere and he sighed
" Didn't get anywhere, they didn't want to talk to me about it, and i respect that, though it makes me more worried though, it is quite odd really, they were uncomfortable when i asked them where their parents were…" Yao said and soon the Russian gets up, walking over to the Chinese and Japanese boys
" You are Yao and Kiku, da?" He asked and he looked at the two, they nodded a few seconds later, and he shook their hands "I am here because little Italian protect big sister, why you here?" the russian accent was thick and heavy, but he was understandable at least and yao started to talk, looking up to the tall, blonde haired teen with astonishing purple eyes
" He helped me when i was shot, so i was going to come here to thank him, but…. Well as you can see…" Yao paused and the Russian nodded and he sighed
" It is very sad he got hurt, though at least there was no more casualties, it would of been devastating for the school if he had not fought and saved his friend…" the Russian smiled and he seemed a little sad at the same time
" What is your name, aru?" the Chinese teen looked up to him again and the Russian smiled, and blushed in embarrassment as he rubbed the back of his head with a bead of sweat going down his head
"Oh, my mistake, I am Ivan, Ivan Braginski, it is nice to meet you, sorry for my lack of manners…" the Russian was embarrassed, but he was still smiling, it seemed to never leave his face
" Visiting hours are over, please leave the building while we start to check-" overcame a females voice as she was entering the room, only to have the Italian coughing, and sitting up, with a wince, he looked around and he seemed dazed. He looked around and he noticed a figure in front of him, it was Ludwig and his parents who were looking down at him, and they started to talk amongst themselves
" He's up, thank goodness, i was worried he was going to die" came a voice, and Derek hugged him lightly, Feliciano hugging back, a small smile on his face as he looks at them, he starts to speak in a bit of hoarse voice, soon laying back a little
" Don't use up too much of your voice, comrade, you need some rest, you have been through alot and we have school in a couple days…." Ivan smiled and Feliciano smiled back as he sighed, laying his head on the pillow and laying back a bit
" Where are your parents boy, you need them to be able to check out of the hospital, this late at night, you are fine, and all you need is a couple days of good rest and water, you should be okay again in no time, alright?" the nurse smiled and she pat him on the back, and Derek spoke, though it was a little nervous
" Uhm….. uh... " Feliciano gave him a small worried look, none of them wanted the others to know they were orphans or living in the forest, so John took over from there after a couple moments of silence, he was the one that was able to process and see all of the ups and downs and possibilities of making a lie the fastest, it was quite easy really, so in a moments notice, he had started to talk
" Our parents are out in another country on a business trip, they are going to be back in a few weeks, we were taking care of ourselves, making sure to follow our instructions and our rules, they are not here, but we know a safe way to get home, thank you" he said and the nurse thought about it for a moment, then with a sigh, she smiled and got up, getting the papers
" here, you children just sign this then he is able to go back tonight, if there is anything you need at all, please don't hesitate to tell us at the hospital, alright?" she smiled, principle Beilschmidt was shocked, but he kept it down, the nurse let them out, either they were convincing, or she just wasn't worried about it too much to be honest, but he didn't think that sounded right, letting go of the subject the older man got up and bid his adieu to Feliciano, thanking him again, and he left with the rest of the visitors, leaving the nurse and the Foster kids all there alone, while they were getting ready to go.
The nurse headed the opposite way, but she was watching the kids for a while to make sure nothing was up, she saw them head at an apartment complex, so she sighed and she went home, she was just making sure they were telling the truth about them leaving close, so that was good, then she goes to the other end of town after getting a cab.
" Is she not watching us anymore?" Derek asked as he peeked out the window, then he saw she was gone, and he opened the door
" Yeah, we can head home now, let's go, we have a long walk ahead of us… about 5 miles, so let's hurry…" John said, the oldest boy was walking ahead and he was carrying Feliciano, who had fallen asleep, he needed the rest anyway, so he was not going to wake him up
" Is he looking okay Ursule?" questioned the kindergartener, peter, who was walking right behind them, he was always worried about the others, and he was trying to jog a little to keep up to the older boy.
" He's fine Pete, okay? You don't need to worry, he is just tired, that's all" Ursule smiled and he looked to the small male, who was nodding, the other boys were following behind, and they sighed, then they were starting to talk, laughing at jokes, making the walk seem less dull and long.
" alright, we are finally home, i wanna go to bed… " Derek flopped on an old tattered couch, and he covered himself with a thin sheet, as he started to shiver from the chilling air, Josh went to go and light the fire place, making the lightest of glows, but it provided supplemental heat to the poor boys at least.
Setting Feliciano down on the mattress on the floor, Ursule grabbed a blanket and sticks it over him, getting the hair out of his face, and he smiled, to b honest, he always had more of a 'Mother Hen' personality, he cared for the other boys, at least one of the boys that were with them before they moved out was adopted, he was only a 7 year old, and he was adopted by a rich family, and he moved out of country, though he was upset to leave his friends.
"Cold…." Peter mumbled as he felt Feliciano's skin, which was covered with goosebumps, the rest of the others were cold as well, so they gathered around the sleeping italian boy on the floor, and they all slept in a huddle, keeping each other warm through the night, even as the fire went extinguished.
In the morning, it felt as if there was ice throughout the house and everyone woke up shivering as they retreated to the little bit of warmth that was provided by the sheet they were wearing.
" We need to go to town and see if we can find anything we can salvage from the dumpsters, there is a land fill on the way to town as well, we need to try and find something to keep us warmer, alright?" Ursule asked and all of the boys including Feliciano were up and nodding, the small Italian was now healed for the most part, so he was going to help them
" Are you sure you want to come Feli? It might be a little too cold out there and you might still be sick…" Derek asked and he surely looked to the other boys who nodded in the same manner of thought, they did not want to Italian to feel worse than what he already had, he was already shot, who needed him to get frostbite as well?!
" Ve!~ I will be fine! I am feeling alot better, i promise i will be fine, okay?" Feliciano smiled and he started to skip around, they thought about it for a while, he does need to be able to walk around after so long of being bed ridden and not able to move.
" Alright, let's go then, we need to be able to go and get back before night time so we have some time to make dinner for ourselves, and get in bed for school tomorrow, alright?" Ursule said and the others nodded, walking behind him and closing the door, they chat and have small conversation as they travel in the cool breeze of the morning.
" okay there is a lot of glass here as well, make sure to be careful, nobody wants to be cut, it might hurt, try to find some useful things, like clothes, materials, fabric, something warm, wood might be helpful for the fireplace, some toys to play with to pass the time wouldn't hurt, and maybe pencils and pens that can still work will be great, alright?" Ursele asked and he looked to the teenagers and other boy as they all nodded and got right to work, good thing they found a couple sleds to move the things they will find on it, and they have backpacks as well.
Feliciano was the one who found the most things that might be useful, he was almost like a bloodhound for these searches really.
There was a long scarf, still in very good condition, a few pairs of hats and mittens, along with a pair of rainboots, several operating pens, pencils, markers and a couple flashlights with a pack of batteries. A couple childrens book and a book by Hans Christian Anderson, called the "snow queen" a poetry book with only one page missing, an a math book from a collage along with History books as well and a couple sets of headphones. There was also a spool of thread as well, white, it was going to be good for sewing materials together at least, so it was handy.
The other boys found a few other things like cloth, a blanket or two, some mugs, and a whole set of plastic plates and other dishes, there was some more shoes, and a few articles of clothing as well so there was some in there, more dishes, books and toys were found, and an operating phone as well! It must have been their lucky day, they were having all kinds of good fortune.
" we can head back now, maybe we can get the phone to work! This is great, we have so much!" Ursule smiled and they all almost ran home, and they were happy, happy to have some things for the upcoming winter and for home in general., this was a rare find, and they haven't found so much in a long time, they taught themselves how to knit and sew, and how to read when they were smaller, so all of this was going to be way easy, not to mention, though he was an athlete kind of person, Derek was also a tech expert as well.
" this is so fun! I wish it was like this all of the time and we were more fortunate, but i guess that this is also just as fun, because i am with you guys here too!" Peter smiled and they all smiled back to the much smaller boy and they finished walking home
" hey, what should we do before we head back to school today? We have a few more hours before we head to bed, we should play a few games! I wanna play hide and seek!" John smiled and the others were thinking as they were putting everything in their designated places for them, and claiming a few things they wanted.
" sounds good, wanna play Ursule?" Feliciano looked to the oldest male and he had a small gleam of hope in his eyes as he looked at him, Ursule started to think and he gave a short sigh, then smiled a little and set down his things he was wielding in his arms
" sure why not, we need some form of entertainment and it did warm up a bit, i think we will be fine to go out and play for a little while" Ursule grinned and he looked to the other boys, who started to cheer in happiness.
" alright! Let's do it! Peter, your the one who is going to be it first!" Derek smirked and he already bolted off, laughing as Peter chased, he was a fast runner, so he would catch them very quick.
Dodging and hiding behind a tree, Feliciano waited for the other boys to find him, he scampered under the stump, he knew it was hide and go seek, but then again, who doesn't hide to avoid being tagged by the player who is it? It was like a glorified hide and go tag to be honest.
" I wonder where Feliciano went? Hmm… is he… behind the tree!" yelled peter, who jumped around the tree to see nothing but the rest of the trees in the forest that is. " hmm, i could've swore i saw him run this way… maybe he turned some other direction!" Peter runs another way, and started to chase after Derek and John, who almost always stick together during the game and split when the one who is it comes close so they can make an attempt to confuse the other side.
It seemed like only maybe about 30 minutes but it was really hours, they ended up stopping the game for a water break and they noticed it was dark outside
" man… that's depressing, time sure flies when you're having fun out here… " Ursule sighed and he rounded the rest of the boys up and took them to the house, making sure to treat any scratches they gave themselves, it happened almost every single time, so he was always prepared for the injuries.
" Ugh… i don't wanna go to school tomorrow! My brain is going to melt and i have to listen to the teach all day! He is always such a nag! Nag! Nag! Nag! Nag! Nag! He is also a slob and he leaves his wrappers on the counter with chewed up gum in them!" Peter whined and he slumped in the couch as he sighed dramatically, the others couldn't help but laugh, but at the same time be disgusted with what the teacher does with his wrappers, gross.
" We have to though, there is not much of a choice here, we have to be able to get good grade and stay in school so we don't have to stay in there longer, and so we can get an education, we need it if we can try and get careers when we get older… maybe i will make an excuse for you to miss a day some other time, but not right now, okay?" Ursule smiled and he messed up Peter's head as he gave him a minor noogie, the little boy laughing as he pleaded for fake mercy from the white haired boy in front of him.
" NOO! Stop! I surrender! I surrender! I'll go to school!" Peter laughed through his tears as he tried to get away, and get his hair untangled
" Well then, you better make sure to, or there is going to be no more bedtime stories for you for a-" Ursule was teasing as he was talking, suddenly a thunderstrike is heard, and the snapping of a few tree branches, and all of the lights in the nearby town went out as well
" … Ursule, where are you? I can't see anything!" Derek yelled out, and then he and John crashed into each other " ouch…:
" Did anyone catch the driver of the freight train that just ran me over?" John asked as he tried to get up and Derek apologized, then he moved off of the slightly taller boy, and he helped him up
" it's dark in here, where is Feliciano, Ursule and Peter though? It's too dark for me to see in here!" John asked and he looked around himself and he kicked something, he bent down to pick it up, discovering it was a flashlight, he prays to himself and he turned it on, making the light travel all around the room
" There they are!" Derek stated and they both jogged over to the other boys, who were comforting a terrified Peter, if there was anything he couldn't stand because he was so scared of them, it was Darkness, utter Darkness, and thunder storms.
" SHhh, it's fine Peter, it's over, it was just a little thunder, there is nothing to be afraid of, this is just a minor power outage, there is nothing to worry about, you're fine, we're all here" Ursule was soothing the crying little boy, and Feliciano was gently rubbing his back, trying to get him to breath and calm down.
" i don't like the dark, please tell it to go away!" Peter pleaded and he snuggled into Ursule's shoulder and whimpered again and again for 20 minutes.
" Let's just go to bed, there will more than likely be light in the morning, there are a lot of people who work on the powerplant, and they will have it up and running again in no time at all, i'm sure, okay?" Feliciano smiled and he gets the recently cleaned blanket, and he puts it over Peter, who snuggled into it, hugging his new, slightly tattered stuffed bunny to his chest, and he used Ursule as a pillow
" we should all go to bed, we have some work to do when we get back to school tomorrow, so let's try to get as much rest as we all can" Ursule instructed and he lays back on a pillow, making sure to not alarm Peter, and he fell asleep, John and Derek followed in suit, and they too laid down to turn in for the night. Feliciano however, got up and he looked to the sky through the window, and he noticed it was a moonless night, there were also few stars, it was rather dark, but he also got this very unsettling feeling in his stomach, one that he usually gets when something is about to happen, he was just hoping he was wrong, heading to his part of the room, he too laid down, and he went to sleep, trying to block the nonsense from his head.
In the morning, the sun was showing bright through the window, making the boys' eyes ache from the brightness
Then followed the sound of an alarm clocks annoying ring as they were summoned to being awake by the pesky machine
" I don't wanna leave… five more minutes…" Derek grumbled and covered his face with the blanket and rolling over, he was still grumbling by the time that the others had pulled the blanket off of him and dragged him from the bed, throwing water on his face, he was than snapping up with a start
" Nope, up and ready for school, alright Derek?" Ursule smirked and he helped the other up
" I hate you all…" Derek mumbled and grinned then he went to get ready for school, he was still rather drowsy and he still smiled as he was walking with Feliciano and John as Ursule was taking Peter to the grade school he was in
:the school was surprisingly silent, and the boys were thinking maybe they were there a day early, they were about to leave when they heard the bell go off and they got a little bit of a nervous feeling
" What's going on? Where is everybody?" John asked and he looked at the other two who looked the same amount of stumped as he was and they both unanimously shrugged and started to head inside, maybe everyone just didn't want to stay outside?
" I don't know, maybe they are inside and there aren't many people here? Maybe we can just head inside and have a look to see if anyone showed up, the bell went off, so maybe they are already inside?" Feliciano asked and he looked over to the other two boys himself, then they headed towards the door.
Upon opening the door, the boys are greeted by darkness and some of the lit lights going down an opposite hallway, it was about breakfast time, so the boys headed to the cafeteria and they found the door open, there was definitely someone here, the doors to the cafeteria were never open unless it was filled with students or staff
" Let's head in there, maybe we can find something" John suggested and Derek followed, Feliciano was the one who was following slower, making sure to make up for the lack of caution they had, he was looking everywhere, but it was so dang dark! Where was all of the people?
Suddenly the lights went on, and he was greeted with a nerve jumping sight.
