            hello again, you're wondering what happens next? I'm going to tell you

outside of may  city, legato age 10

            a couple years ahead, I know, but all that happened during those 3 years was wandering from town to town, getting food, stealing money, and yes being beaten up.

            Legato face down in the sand, almost dead and dehydrated, he then passes out.

So this is my ending, I should've expected as much

            I thought I was going to die out there, but through some twist of fate I lived

"hello there, sleepy head!" said a young 9 year old girl, "you finally wake up!" Legato looks around suspecting to still be in the desert but this time he was in a small house. "Wh…where am I?" He asks confused. "In a house silly, my daddy found you just lying there in the desert and so we took you in" the young girl says in her chirpy voice, "My name is Angela. What's yours?" she asks. "I…I'm L…Legato." He says still very confused. "That's a strange name" Angela says and giggles. "I still don't know where I am" Legato says looking around some more. A young man, about 20, walks in "so, you're awake." He says and smiles, "you scared us back there. Do you know where your parents are?"

            Legato tenses up and relaxes a bit and looks down, "I…I don't have any parents" he slowly said this. "That's horrible, what happened to them?" he asks very concerned and sits at the end of the bed. Legato hesitates to answer, "They died in a fire a long time ago, when I was 7. I was able to get away, but my family wasn't as ….. fortunate." He dare not say it was him who killed his family, he thought these people where nice and he wanted to stay as long as possible.

            All of a sudden a knock is heard at the door and the man walks away to answer it.

Legato then asks Angela, "Do you have a mom? Or any other siblings?" Angela doesn't answer right away and she looks at the ground, "M…my mom was killed by some bad men, and I used to have an older brother but he was also killed by those bad men that killed mommy" tears start to well-up in her eyes. "I'm sorry" legato says sympathetically.

            Talking is heard in the other room that was Angela's father and some other person. Legato looks into the room wanting to know who it is and Angela tries to hold him back, "Don't look, my daddy says we shouldn't bother him when he is talking to those people" Angela whispers into Legato's ear but Legato looked anyways.

            The father is talking a large man in a white suit with his hair slicked back with two other men, possibly his hench-men." It's been 5 weeks, it's time to pay up" the Boss looking guys says. "please give me another week, I promise I'll be able to get you that money" angela's father pleads. "…. You got 5 days or else you'll never see your darling Angela again" The boss man says and walks away with his two hench-men laughing and following the boss man.

            Angela's father looks down then to the room where Angela and Legato are in and sees them both staring at him. Tears well-up in his eyes but he wipes them away quickly. "kids, you have to get out of here now! I'm sorry you got pulled into this, Legato, but take Angela and get as far away as possible." Angela is crying, "BUT DADDY! I DON'T WANT TO GO!  I WANT TO STA….". Her father then raises his voice, "NO! you have to go! I don't want to lose you but if I can't raise the money I'll never be able to see you again!" He yells still crying.

…. I should of just killed myself, I don't want to be part of this

            Angela's father then wipes away his tears, "I'll give you some money, and you have to leave tonight so no one sees you two…. You should… start getting ready" he mutters. Angela wipes her tears and runs into her room. Legato just stays there, not sure what to do. Angela's father walks up to Legato and kneels down, "I'm terribly sorry for you to be dragged into this, but it will mean so much to me if you look after Angela" He says and wipes away one of his tears.

            Dude! I'm ten years old! What the hell are you thinking? I cant watch over a girl!

            Legato hesitantly shakes head up and down, " I will, you guys took me, even though I only knew you people for ….20 minutes, I'll look after her" Legato says walks after Angela. When he walked in, he saw Angela, that once happy blonde girl, crying her eyes out on her bed. "I I I ddon't wwwannna gggo!" she keeps crying, " I wwwanna ssstay wwwith dad!"

            It was the first time I saw someone cry, I couldn't stand it, I had no idea to do so I did the first thing that came to my head.  

            Legato grabs Angela by the arms, "LISTEN! If you don't go, you most likely will die! Do you want to die!?" he yells so Angela could hear him. She starts to stop and just stares at him and says, " I know that but I still want to stay with dad, he has been taking care of me ever since mom died" she speaks softly reminiscing what she said. Legato slowly let go of her. "ummm I was wondering if you have any food?" legato stammers trying to get off the subject. Angela looks at him and tries to smile, "ok I know just the thing she leaves and comes back 5 minutes later with some hot dogs. Legato just stares at them. "try them, they're my favorite, I'm not sure why, I just really like them" she says with a fake smile on and takes one of the hotdogs and eats it. Legato looks down at the hotdog and eats it gratefully, "thank you" he says through a stuffed mouth and Angela giggles.  Legato smiles for the first time in his whole life.

            So, this is what it feels like….. to be happy

Later that night

            Legato and Angela are about to leave and Angela wipes a tear from her eye. "I'll miss you" Angela's father says and hugs his daughter for the last time. Legato takes Angela by the hand and runs away from the house with some money and food. As they run Angela heard a gun shot from her house and stopped suddenly, "Wha….what was that!?" Angela asks frightened and worried, "We have to go back, I want to see if my dad's ok" Angela says to Legato and runs back. "NO!" Legato tries to grab her but fails and runs after Angela, "STOP! Your dad said to leave, We have to go" Legato yells after Angela as he runs after her. When they finally reached the house Angela slowly opens the back door to go in and Legato is right next to her. When Angela finally made up her mind, she ran in and say the most horrific thing, she say her father dead on the ground with a bullet hole in his head and a smoking gun in his hand. His body was covered in his blood, it seeped slowly out of his head forming a large red puddle on the ground and his face, for some reason, had a smile on his lips. Legato saw this and smiled a bit but quickly covered his mouth.        

            You could just smell the blood and death in the room, I couldn't help but smile, but even though I covered my mouth and tried to stop, I still smiled.

            As Angela cried the door was broken open and that same man from earlier walks in. "I've changed my mind I…." He looks down and sees The dead man on the ground and Angela crying over it. "So, he finally did it, I guess I have to transfer the debt to you" he says and points to Angela, "You work until you pay up your stupid fathers debt no matter what." Angela looked up still crying. The man held up a gun to Angela, "you agree?" he says smiling. Angela got up and tried to run but was shot, in the heart, and killed instantly. The blood flowed quickly out of her body staining every inch of her. Legato just stared and slowly walked to her body and he began to cry. "stay back you stupid kid, or do you want to die?" with saying this, he cocks his gun. Legato doesn't stop, he keeps walking and kneels down near Angela's body and puts his hand on her body, "y…you killed her" he says crying "who gives a fuck, now you either get up and surrender and pay off their debt, or you get a bullet in the head" the man says and points the gun at Legato's head, "why did you kill her? She did nothing, NOTHING!" he stands up with rage in his eyes, "She was only nine, you bastard! WHY DID YOU KILL HER? YOU COULD HAVE JUST GOTTEN IT FROM SOMEONE ELSE!" Legato screams tears going down his face. "ok, so you want to die, works for me" The man says and starts to pull the trigger. "No, YOU die!" Legato says and grabs the gun from the floor but is shot in the arm, "You can't win, It would de easier for you to just give up"

            I DON'T WANT TO HEAR YOU SPEAK! SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP! JUST SHUT UP AND DIE!

            Legato cried out in pain but as he did this something was happening to the man in the white suit. He was screaming in pain, " STOP! I BEG OF YOU STOP! I'M SORRY!" he screamed and his arm that held the gun twisted back. Legato just stared at him, shocked at what was happening and having no idea what was happening. He took the gun from the ground and shot the white suited man in the chest. "I'M SORRY! I'M VERY SORRY, I PROMISE NEVER TO DO IT AGAIN!" The man said and screams in pain from the shot and his arm which is now broken. Legato smiles an evil smile, "nice try" after saying this he shoots the rest of the bullets into him and killed him dead. "It was nice killing you" legato says and he walks away. He looked to Angela's body and started to cry again, he walked over to her dead lifeless body and hugged her and cried even harder into her shirt. Blood stained his body and he cried and cried.

            I wish I could have gotten to know you, I might have been happy, but I wasn't aloud…… it's not fair….. not fair at all, but I hope that you enjoyed the time we spent together.

            Legato couldn't stand this anymore, he took Angela's body and buried it in the desert under the 5 moons, " I'll always remember you" he walked away sad, and torn apart…..

            I almost killed myself from the mixed anger and sadness, but I didn't, I had to pay them back and you know I did, I killed those two hench-men and all the other people associated with that man, I smelled of blood and death and it was the happiest moment of my life…. To see those men and women with the look of horror plastered onto their face as they laid there dead.
