The Painful Memories
Chapter IV
"Well well well, look what we got here. Isn't it Ludwig Beilschmidt?"
I look at the man while being shocked and stunned. Who is this man? Suddenly I recognize him as my old school's student, Giovanni Pergulósi. He was an exchange student from Italy, and always bullying the younger children. And now he seems to be a Mafioso. How lovely.
"What are you doing here? I thought we made a deal for not getting into each other's business, remember?"
My eyes widen up. Are you fucking kidding me?! It was almost ten years ago!
"It's not related to this. It was at the third grade. We're not kids anymore, Giovanni."
Giovanni's smile seems to fade away.
"Fine then." He snapped his fingers.
"Take this man's friend and throw him into the river."
I look at him in pure horror. Is he serious?! Giovanni's men have captured Feli. What can I do? I decide to just follow my head and I run to Giovanni, and grab his knife from his pocket and put it into his throat.
"LET HIM GO OR YOUR BOSS WILL BE DEAD IN LESS THAN TWO SECONDS!"
The Mafiosos freeze and start to stare at me. They seem to calculate their chances against me. I'm alone, and there's four of them, but I'm pretty built, and they're all kind of skinny. I could make it. It seems they got the same idea.
While calculating my possibilities, I spot Lovino who is sneaking behind those men. Before I even realize anything he got two of 'em down and Feli is also back in the fight. I thought they were both always scared and weak, but it seems that they get pretty much strength when their loved ones are in danger. Before I'm able to do anything, all the Mafiosos are down. Giovanni had fainted when I threatened him with the knife, and everything seems to be ok. I get up and run to Feli.
"Feli!" I hug him tight. He seems to be really surprised. And that's not really a miracle. I don't usually hug anyone. Feli actually is the only one who ever hugs me. Lovino looks really disturbed and angry. He mutters something like "potato bastard" and "never listening" and pretty much everything else I really can't hear. When I let Feli go, he runs to his brother and hugs him. He starts to cry and Lovino comforts him a little. After a little while he leaves Feli sob there and comes to me.
"Um... Thank... argh... Thank you for... saving me and my brother", he says while looking away. We just stand there quiet a little while, and then I just simply nod to him. That's all he needs, and he's going to turn away, when we hear a terrible scream behind our backs. We turn around and see Feli hanging from the railing.
One of the Mafiosos wasn't knocked out after all, and he made the sobbing Feli trip and slip over the railing. Lovino punches the man into his stomach while I ran to Feli. But it's too late; Giovanni was already there. I look at him with horror in my eyes. Since when did they all recover this fast?! I see Giovanni step on Feli's fingers. I run to them and push Giovanni away, but Feli already let go of the railing. I hear his terrifying scream when he falls into the river.
Noooooo! Feliiiih~ ;A;
He fell ;_;
Yes, I know this story is weird, but y'know, I warned you XD
'Til next chapter!
