Message From The Author: I've made this chapter to introduce the other main character, who's a key piece to the story. A part from that, I've made this chapter to revel his background which is the part the reason why he's the key. Here it is enjoy!
Meanwhile…. back in Lennington.
In a small detached house in one of the town's suburbs, lined with front gardens with small stone walls.
A small red headed boy, about the age of nine was inside the living room, doing his homework with a book, a pencil and a piece paper.
The book was entitled: Treasure Island, Which tells the story of a young boy who retrieves clues and map to a buried treasure, on far away island. But it doesn't go well, as he and his companions end up with running in with pirates.
The boy's name was Ronald Mcstone and he was almost finished; he just needed to write his opinion on the book, mainly his favourite part.
He then writes down, that the part that interested him was the misunderstanding and unsure friendship that formed between the boy Jim Hawkins and the ships cook and pirate Long John Silver.
The reason for this, was that he had a similar experience, but with his grandfather, Angus.
After completing his opinion, he put his pencil back in its case, took it along with the book and his essay and put them in his school bag.
When he had done so, he when upstairs to his room and sat down on his bed thinking of what to do next.
The room had a tall wardrobe, a window which viewed the back garden, a makeshift stool and two sets of draws. But also in one corner of the room was acoustic guitar and electric guitar with a small amplifier. Ronald was also thinking of his grandfather. Referring back to the times spent between them.
When he got introduced at five years old, there was a bit of an unsure tension and lack respect between them. His grandfather was rather grumpy, demanding and had a habit for stating things.
But when Ronald was seven, on a Friday night, he spotted his grandfather playing the piano at a restaurant with some smart and casually dressed people playing a verity of instruments. They were playing Classical, Jazz, Reggae, Blues, Folk and even some early rock music (1950s Rock N' Roll).
During this time and up to the end, Ronald watched in surprise and amazement as his granddad played with skill and to have such talent. The old man played magnificently.
When the music had finish, it was 9:49 PM and Grandfather Angus was about to leave. His grandson realised that it was very late and tried to sneak away with out him noticing because he was afraid of getting shouted at and even worse things. But Grandfather Angus spotted him stood in his way and took a hold of him by his shirt. Then he moved his grip to his grandson's wrist and took him back home.
When they reached the house, Grandpa Angus drove Ronald to the front door, while grumbling at him, stating that it is dangerous wandering off on his own and without letting his parents know where he is. Angus also muttered "a child will be a child nowadays. Always intending to go anywhere with out concern or responsibility".
Then he asked Ronald if he had come across anyone in his stay. "No! I haven't" cried his grandson, "You should stay close those who you know personally" Patronized Grandpa Angus. "Besides it's a dangerous world out there, even the most wondrous of places and people maybe a threat." He was about to rise his anger and start shouting, until his grandson said that he was sorry and that he saw him play the piano all the way through the night.
He also said that he never understood him all his life and seeing him playing, he was touched and amazed. Angus was taken a back by this and then his grandson said "Well... granddad, I was wondering if I could have some lessons on the piano or any other instruments?"
Returning to the present day, Ronald just got up to pick up his acoustic guitar and started to play a few notes, while he thought of comparing his relationship Grandfather Angus with the relationship between Jim Hawkins and Long John Silver. Himself and a Man of his family, who he had misunderstood for two years to a boy who meets a cook, who he becomes friends with, until the very point in which the cook is revealed as a blood thirsty, riches hungry pirate.
Though really, the relationships are different, not just in friendship and family. But there are the opposite in terms of the psychiatry with good and bad. Someone acts in away that covers who they really are.
Then suddenly there was a sound coming from outside, like a clashing of some roof slates or crashing of some thing hitting wood.
Ronald gave a twitch like head turn and a loud gasp. Then he jumped up from his seat and ran to his bedroom window to see what it was. Of course there was a strong gale blowing outside. But when he had a good look outside, he could see that it was dying rather quickly.
He was about to ignore it. Then he gave a slight gulp when he saw something move in the darkness. He nearly froze completely, almost paralyzed to the spot. Whatever made the noise couldn't be friendly. It could be something dangerous, something he doesn't know... Or Someone.
Fun Rock N' Roll fact: The name Ronald is actually the real first name of Bon Scott, former lead vocalist of AC/DC (not to be confused with Ronald "Ron" Weasley from Harry Potter, even if he is ginger/red haired too).
I'm gonna to try make the next chapter short, to speed up the beggining, to get to the point. Stay tuned.
