I'm BAAACK! Thanks Wild Fire, even though you're ripping me away from the
Inuyasha script I've been reading for the past three days and am now
obsessed and in love with, I needed to update.
DISclaimer- need I say it? @~ @~ @~
A month has passed (Hehe, more like two in the real world) since Otto had first gotten onto a bike and Alanby into skates. Otto and Alanby are walking home from the bus stop.
"Hey Otto, I gotta stop by the mailboxes." Alanby says, walking off to the left.
"I'll come with ya. No point walking alone." Otto replies, following her. Alanby unlocks a mailbox labeled "Tempest." She flipped briefly through the envelopes, looking at the subjects. Her eyes widen as she frantically rips open a letter addressed to her.
"YES! Otto, I've been accepted to an invitational for motorcross!" She screams hugging him.
"Wow! You must be pretty good." He says with a slight mocking smile.
"Maybe. C'mon, practice with me!"
"Alanby, I know for a fact you have more homework than I do."
"Man, bailing on me now?" she says accusingly. Sure, Otto didn't want to do his homework, but he felt fear around her just then by the way she was pressuring him.
"Yeah, sorry. I just don't want to fail math." He says as he starts walking away.
"Fine, whatever man." She says angrily, running up through the woods as a shortcut to her house.
"Hey Otto!" Sage said as Otto walked in the door. "What's the matter?" she asks, seeing Otto's disheartened face.
"Well, have you ever felt like there's...I dunno, something seriously wrong with one of your friends?" he replies, looking to his aunt.
"Alanby troubles?" she asks with a small grin.
"I get bad vibes from her sometimes. She'll be fine and everything'll be great, and al of a sudden she just changes."
"Well, if this was any girl but her, I'd say she's got hormonal issues, but, she really does have problems."
"Like what?" Otto asks curiously.
"Well, for one, her entire family is dead. Gang accident."
"I knew that."
"Did you know it wasn't an accident? She's a part of that gang her family lead. I suppose she still is, she still was after they died anyway. There's a reason she might be violent."
"Oh..." Otto says, looking away, feeling slightly guilty for reasons unknown to him.
"I'm not done. As of now she's on antidepressants."
"Why's she depressed?"
"Antidepressants are used for a lot more than treating depression. She's on them for panic attacks. If you want to know more, I'd put on some heavy body armor and ask her yourself." Sage replies.
"I'm gunna do my homework." He says, heading up to his room, thinking about what his aunt's just told him.
Gang, huh? He thinks to himself, I wonder if she's ever hurt someone.
Otto walks up to Alanby's door and knocks.
"Hey Otto." She replies cheerfully, standing aside to let him in.
"Can we talk?" Otto asks, monitoring her response.
"About what?" she replies, her happy face still on.
"Gang violence."
"Why?" she's guarded now.
"Well, I wondered. Cause I heard that you used to be in a gang, and I thought maybe-"
"They were wrong. Forget it."
"No! We're gunna talk about this, and we're gunna talk about it NOW." He ordered, pleased to see shock on her face when she hears his harsh response. He hears a sigh of resignation from her.
"What?" she asks sulkily.
"Have you ever hurt anyone?" he hears her laugh loudly.
"Why do you think my family's dead? Other gangs only retaliate. Moose, Jenny and I went in and killed about 5 people." She says indifferently.
"Who are Moose and Jenny?"
"My brother Mark and friend Jenny."
"I see. Have you done anything like that since?"
"Phft. That's a stupid question. Of course! Do you think I'm just going to stand by when someone hurts me? I inherit that gang and I have able men and five women ready to fight with me. The little mother fuckers got a taste of revenge in cold blood."
"Do you live in fear of them?"
"Of course not. They would never be brave enough to strike back."
"Why do you have panic attacks?" she looks at him, knowing he played her into this trap.
"Doctors haven't been able to determine the cause of panic attacks." she replied coolly.
"No, but you have. Alanby, come clean. If you can't tell me the truth, who can you tell it to?"
"Hell if I know. Go away Otto, before I kill you too." She says threateningly.
"I know you better than that Alanby. You never let your anger out. Not until recently. What's going on?"
"Nothing you need to know about. Get OUT now." With that, Otto leaves, most of his questions answered, though his trust in her diminished.

Ahh, short, sorry. My brain's busted. I'll update when someone drives guilt into me again.
