I couldn't believe my very eyes. My own brother just beat some guy up. ( Nice job Russell.) Thought he deserved it, but still I have never seen Russell be like that. Madison and I were walking up the stairs to check on Russell. When we were getting to his door, we were a few doors down and there was an inkling at his door. I didn't know who she was but she was about to knock at my brother's door. Madison started walked up to her before I could say anything. "Hi there!" Madison said. The girl with a squid hairclip, a layered anchor squid force shirt and her pro trail boots turned to us.
She shrugged at Madison "H-Hello." She said. Madison gave a warm smile "I'm Madison and this is Ranger." She looked at me and back to Madison "Im Onlee. Nice to meet you."
"I remember seeing you before the turf battle with my brother. What are you doing here?" Madison said. Onlee rubbed her arm "Well, Russell had a tuff time there. I was going to ask if he was ok"
Madison raised and lowered her eyebrows at me. (Was I supposed to get the hint? I don't know) I said, "Yeah we was on our way to meet him as well." Onlee nodded and motioned her hand to the door when Madison said "So how did you two met?" Onlee quickly looked at Madison and her cheeks flushed with red. Just before she could say anything we heard a big crash in the apartment. I knocked on Russell's door. "Russell? You ok in there?" Then there was another crash and things falling. I back up from the door and slammed onto it. It wasn't moving. I said to Onlee and Madison "C'mon guys. On Three ok." Madison and Onlee stood by my side.
"1"
My foot touched the wall.
"2"
I prepared for the run and slam part.
"3!"
We charged forward and the door burst open. Russell must have opened it because we were on the ground in his apartment. I looked up and Russell wasn't even near the door, though there were splinters on the ground. As I was letting my arm rest from the hard fall Madison said in a low voice "Ranger…" I saw her face looking at the end of the room. The table I saw from nights ago was broken in half and the legs were scratched and broken. Though Madison wasn't looking at that, because behind it was Russell's back. He was breathing heavy and his hands were open and shaking.
Madison called out "Russell, are you ok?" Russell turned at us.
There was something different with him. His pupils are pink. I grabbed Madison to me, fear stuck over my body. Russell jumped toward Madison and me, anger was in his eyes and his teeth were sharp looking too. Just as I though he was about to get us Onlee swung the broken table leg in the air and struck Russell on his head. WACK! Direct hit!
Russell landed at the edge of my foot, and was out cold. Onlee grabbed Russell and putted him on the sofa that the pillows were tossed around. Onlee turned to the door and locked it. Madison passed out of the scare Russell was giving. Onlee went to the freezer and got an ice cubes. She putted them in a plastic bag and put it against my bruised arm, while on my good arm was holding Madison's head as she rested on my chest.
Onlee sat down on the floor in front of me. I said "Hey thanks for what you did there." Onlee looked up at me and said "Y-Yeah. I didn't mean to knock him out like that. It just that he was going to hurt you and your sister." I nodded. I knew what she meant, that Russell was going to hurt us like what he did to Turquoise. The pink in his eye showed proof. Something was wrong with my brother. Tomorrow, I would have to take Russell to the hospital. They need to see what wrong with him. Does he have rabies? Maybe.
