Chapter 5
As we walked across town. I was planning how we would get into Cassie's barn. I knew it wasn't that big of a deal, but if we were caught, we could very well be in a lot of trouble. The sun was down and the moon was shining through the smog of the town. Anyway, as we walked through town, I saw a bunch of guys down the alley. As I walked past, I realized they looked familiar.
"You got a problem?" one of them asked. I realized it was the guy I had acquired at the seven-eleven. He walked out of the alley with his buddies.
"And your problem is what?" I asked him.
Without warning, he swung out at me. I backed up a bit and he missed me. "Are you drunk?" I asked. "Can't hit a target?" I looked over at Sam and he was slowly shaking his head. The guy swung again from the other direction and I dodged it again.
WHACK!
It hit Sam in the side of the head. "What the hell was that for?" Sam asked.
"You Kids got attitude, we will have to teach you to a lesson." He swung at me three more times and I dodged all three of them. I just gave him a dirty look.
"You're friend is going to get a beating." He said to Sam. Two of his friends came for me and the other two grabbed Sam. He didn't struggle. I just laughed. The leader backed away and his two thugs came forward and cracked their knuckles and necks.
"What, are you two from the eighties? Couldn't you at least try to shoot me or beat me down with a metal pipe?"
"We don't need to." He said. Then one of the thugs punched for me and I dodged. The other punched and I dodged it too. Then I ducked and kicked one in the chest. He fell on his ass and I got up. The other guy swung at me and I ducked and thrust forward and buried my knee in his breadbasket. I then brought my elbow down on the back of his neck. He fell like a brick.
The other guy was getting up and I kicked him in the face and he fell too. I put my foot on the guy's neck and grabbed his arm. I yanked it up and heard him scream.
"Do you want me to let go?" I asked the 'leader'.
"Leave him be, your fight's with me."
"And you think that will do anything? I just put both your guys down without breaking a sweat, you think you can beat me?"
"Of course." He said as he pulled out a pair of nunchakus.
"Ooh, you're a real punk now." I smiled and picked up a metal pipe that was leaning up against a dumpster. I don't know what it was doing there, but it was there and it proved to be useful. It was about five feet long, for a reference. He swung them at me and I hit it with the pole, spun around, and lightly hit him in the back of the head. I jumped around looking like an idiot, taunting him.
"I thought you wanted to fight?" I taunted, "I thought you were supposed to be tough?"
He gave me a dirty look and came at me with the nunchaku. I stepped to the side and dug one end in the ground. He almost tripped over it. While he was stumbling around, I hit him in the back of the head gently. Then I brought the other end around and pulled his feet out from under him. I helped him down by pushing him down with the other end of the pole.
"HMPH!" he growled, kind of. "Get him!" He yelled to his two standing goons who were holding Sam. They let go of Sam and came after me. I stood there, defiant.
Right before they got to me, they were thrown to the side from an invisible force. When they moved, I could see Sam's eyes glowing red, but were dimming. "Let's go." he said to me.
We walked slowly across ywn. "Sorry." I said.
"For what?" He asked.
"For getting you involved and taking it too far." I answered.
"It's nothing, they started it." He answered. "You were just doing what you needed to do to defend yourself."
"I know, but I took it too far. I might have hurt them."
"Once again, they started it and deserved whatever it is that they got. Just leave it alone. We have to go to sleep soon. There is a huge day ahead of us."
We continued to walk home. We ended up just outside of town by the bush where we now lived. We had to go into the forest far from where we lived and from Cassie's house so that nobody would follow us and track us to where we were actually going.
Right before we hit the tree-line, I heard a soft fluttering above me. {Hey, guys. I was wondering why those extremities were necessary.} Tobias asked.
"You could see us?" I asked meekly.
{Kind of. Hawk eyes aren't that good in the dark, but I could get the gist of it. That was a little extreme, wasn't it?}
"Not really." Sam answered for me. "It was merely self defence."
{Well, I would have to agree, but you got to understand, it was a little severe. You didn't need to use the telekinesis on them.}
"We needed to go soon. We were in a hurry. It was a last resort." He defended us.
"Who cares, it is in the past. Let's worry about the next coming weeks. We have a lot to do." I said, breaking up the topic. Tobias came and rested on my shoulder.
{Sorry, I can't fly through the trees at night.} his talons were digging into my shoulders, but I didn't care. He was right.
We walked through the trail and to our little old 'house'. When we got there, our blankets were already laid out for us and were ready. Tobias slept in the rafters, and we slept on the floor. That night I slept well.
"Looks good to me." I said. "I will go in as soon as I can. I hope Whitney gets my I.D. ready soon."
"I hope so too. We need to go back to Cassie's place now."
