Hey everyone! Yes, I will update! Only because you guys have been so supportive! So here you are! Thanks
"Hand me a wrench, Rafe." Danny said from under the plane.
Rafe put the small silver wrench in Danny's outstretched hand.
Danny lifted the wrench and wrapped it around the butt of the screw. He couldn't fit it around the small thing. He cursed.
"Gee Danny," Rafe said leaning against the garage. "PMSing ain't we?"
Danny's head popped his out. He had a disgusted look on his face.
"No! I don't happen to be a girl, like you Rafe Stephen McCawley!"
"Is that so, Daniel Christopher Walker? Then how come you know so much about girl stuff? Hmm..." Rafe smiled.
"What in the heck are you talking about?" Danny said sitting up. He forgot the he was under the plane, so he hit his head. "Ow...dang!"
Danny rubbed his head as Rafe laughed at him hysterically.
"You just know so much about girl stuff. How to do hair, what looks good. But the funny thing is...is that you never look good yourself." Rafe said proudly.
Danny looked at himself. He had on a pair of dark brown overalls and no shirt. But the muscles proved to make him a man. And the only reason he knew about girl stuff' was because since Isabel and him never had a mother, Danny took care of Isabel, by doing her hair. And even protecting her from the father.
"Oh really? I say we play chicken and see who's the real man!" Danny said fired up for action.
"Alright, you are on Luienetent Walker!"Rafe yelled as he skipped to his farm.
"We're turning left!" Danny called.
Rafe rose his arm and put his thumb up. Danny jumped into his plane. He inherited it from his grandfather. His grandfather used it in World War I and now it was to old to be used for combat again. So Danny used to it as a crop duster and for playing chicken.
Danny pulled the key out of his pockets and wrapped the radio around his ears to his friend's commands. He pulled the switch to start the loud engine. The engine sang loudly as Danny pulled out of the garage. He saw Rafe at the other end of the field. The wind of the propeller tickled the long strands of weeds.
"Are you ready Danny Walker," a proud cocky voice came on Danny's radio.
"Yes sir! Let's roll!" Danny shouted.
Not long after the two good friends pulled up in the air. The flew right towards each other.
"Do you realize Rafe, if it hit your 'cute little crop duster ' you'll be dead?" Danny taunted.
"Shut up,"
From the ground Isabel and Edward walked hand and hand up Isabel's porch. The Walker's home looked a lot neater ever since Les died. Danny and Isabel secretively lived alone. But Danny was old enough to be a guardian.
"Who's flies in your area?" Edward asked looking up at the sky as two planes zipped passed each other.
"Rafe McCawley and my brother," Isabel said looking up at the sky.
"Your brother flies?" Edward asked.
"Oh yeah, Rafe taught him."
Isabel walked over to the barn and picked up a radio. She heard her brother and his friend talking back in forth.
"I'm coming right at you, Rafe!" Danny called.
"Let's do this!" Rafe yelled.
Edward came up behind Isabel and listened.
"What are they doing?" he asked putting his arms around her and his chin on her shoulder.
"Just watch," Isabel said as her eyes sparkled.
The planes roared over their heads and bolted right towards each other. The last minute before they could crash into each other the sharply turned. The heavy wind blew Isabel's hair. She felt a light smile come across her face.
"Land of the free..." Rafe said.
"...Home of the brave," Danny answered.
Once Danny landed his plane in the dusty garage, he walked to his house. He walked into it hearing two voices. He came in the kitchen to see Isabel and Edward making out.
"Go grab a bedroom! I ain't watching you to slobber all over each other in the kitchen!" Danny yelled as he walked to the refrigerator.
"Your just jealous cause you don't have anyone you can kiss," Isabel said between locking her lips.
"Maybe your right! But I don't wanna see it, get out!"
"Come on Izzy, let's go somewhere else." Edward said grabbing Isabel's hand as he glared at Danny. "Oh by the way, nice flyin Danny-boy!"
Danny nodded as a short sarcastic nod. He walked into the living room. He plopped himself down on the couch and grabbed the small hand held radio. He pressed the small on switch and listened to a baseball game. He listened to the announcer's booming voice, the loud fans in the back round cheering. But from somewhere he could hear screaming. He wasn't sure if it was in the game or was somewhere else. He turned the volume down, to hear the screaming getting louder.
Danny stood up and walked around the house quietly. The sounds were coming from Isabel's bedroom. Memories of Isabel being raped screamed inside of Danny's head. He shoved open the door. He found Edward on top of Isabel and Isabel jerking in every direction.
"Let go of me Edward!" she screamed.
When Edward wouldn't is when Danny ran over to him, placed his large hands on Edward's shoulders and yanked him off his sister.
"Get off her you freak!" he yelled.
Edward fell on to a table hitting his nose causing it to ooze with blood.
"Get out of here, I never want to see your face again!" Danny yelled once more.
Once Edward charged out of the house Danny looked toward his sister. Her dark chestnut hair was scraggily mess. Danny leaned over with his arms extended.
"Isabel, I am so sorry that boys can be such jerks...and that.."
Isabel shoved him off her. "Yeah boys can be such jerks....like you!"
"What?" Danny asked. "What did I do?"
"Danny, you are way to overprotective!"
"How can I be overprotective when my sister is being raped by her...."
"He was tickling me, Danny!!!"
With that he went horribly silent. He felt quite stupid and had nothing to say but;
"Oh...sorry,"
He turned around and walked out of the bedroom. He walked to the airplane again and hopped inside of it. Once again the engine roared to life and he took off. Anytime Danny was feeling down he could take his plane up and soar above the sky. Soaring in the clouds would set him in a calm disposition.
