Title: Brooklyn's Beginnings
Chapter: A Strange Child
Rating: PG-13 for violence, language, child abuse, and some other stuff, I don't know, we'll see how it goes, but it probably won't get any higher.
Gabriel hadn't slept much that night, so he was reluctant to get up. Not that the bed wasn't comfortable. It was just a thin little mattress, but to Gabriel, it was wonderful, the only REAL bed he'd ever slept on. Just so much had happened in the last 24 hours, it was a lot for a five year olds body to physically handle. Percy finally got Gabriel out of bed with the threat of missing breakfast. Gabriel had learned on the streets, that if you have the opportunity to eat, you need to take it. Most of the boys had already gone down to breakfast, and Gabriel, being one to assess his surroundings quickly, noticed that Finn and his gang were among those already gone. He started to get dressed, since he had slept in only his underwear. He pulled on his kinickbockers that were worn, his suspenders attached so that they were hanging off his waist. He was reaching for his shirt when he noticed that his pockets felt empty. He reached into them, and sure enough, all his money was gone. He immediately tore bare foot and shirtless from the room. He raced down the hall, dodging past the boys lingering on the stairs. When he reached the mess hall, his eyes dated around the room and quickly locked on Finn. He walked up behind him and gave him a hard shove. Finn reeled around and started into blue eyes filled with anger, two and a half feet below him. In a few years, those eyes would be able to scare a full-grown man into submission, and bring him enough respect to silence over 200 boys, but for now, they were focused entirely on Finn. "What daya want GabeyBabey?" Asked Finn, trying to keep dignity. "You stole my money" Stated Gabriel. Having had little interaction with the other boys in the orphanage, and having defaced Finn the night before, Gabriel knew that it could only have been Finn.
"I don't know what you're talking about." Finn answered nervously.
"Yeah, ya do." Said Gabriel, his fierce eyes shooting daggers at Finn, his tiny fists clenched. "ya stole my money, an if ya know what the hell is good fer ya, y'll give it back. NOW."
Some of the older boys scoffed at the thought of this little boy taking on Finn, the biggest kid in the orphanage.
"I don't have yer money." Finn said, but not very convincing.
Gabriel swiftly shot a powerful punch into Finn's stomach, causing him to double over, and everyone crowded around them stepped back in surprise. Gabriel grabbed Finn's shirt and pulled him down so they were eye level.
"I'ma ask ya one more time." Gabriel said in a raised voice, so that now almost everyone in the room had their attention on the pair. "Gimme back my damn money asshole." Some boys gasped at the five-year-olds use of language. Finn shoved him off. For a second the two stood facing each other slightly panting. Then, Gabriel's eyes tuned an even colder shade of ice blue, and he leapt at Finn, punching him till both were knocked to the ground. The pair wrestled on the ground for a moment before adult ands pulled them apart. It was Mr. Shanely. Finn immediately stopped fighting, but Gabriel continued to struggle. Mr. Shanely was holding him off the ground by his suspenders. He continued to kick and his fists were flying everywhere. When Mr. Shanely threw him on he ground, he finally stopped struggling. He stood up and quickly looked around. He saw he was surrounded by three adults. It was Mr. Ranskin, and the other two, who'd he met last night, were Mr. Shanely and Ms. Juli. "Gabriel, where are your clothes/" Asked Mr. Ranskin sternly.
"nevaah put em' on" Shrugged Gabriel.
Mr. Ranskin gave an exasperated sigh. "Ms. Juli, take Gabriel to get his clothes, then bring him t my office. Finn, follow me." He said, and then quickly left, Finn reluctantly followed behind him. Gabriel left with Ms. Juli, an air of cockiness surrounded him. All of the boys watched him in amazement as he left the room. He'd been at the orphanage for less than 24 hours, and he'd already gotten in a fight with the meanest kid there, and he didn't seem at all scared at how much trouble he was surly in.
Ms. Juli followed Gabriel into the empty bunkroom, and Gabriel went over to his bed, reaching for his shirt. "Gabriel, wait." Said Ms. Juli. "I want to talk to you." Gabriel gave her a strange look, but sat down on his bed, legs dangling off the side. Ms. Juli sat next to him. "Gabriel, why did you fight Finn?" she asked in a tender voice.
"Cuase he stole my money." Gabriel flatly stated, like it was a perfectly obvious thing.
"Well" said Ms. Juli "why didn't you tell me or another adult, we could have taken care of it for you."
Gabriel looked at her like she had grown another head. "You would have taken care of it??? HOW?" He was completely confused.
"Don't you know that if you have a problem, you should get help from an adult?"
Now, he looked at her like she had three heads. "No."
"So, you thought that you had to solve the problem yourself, and the only way you knew how was by fighting?"
"I guess....."Gabriel said, not fully understanding what Ms. Juli was trying to get at.
She sighed. This little boy's attitude was new to her. He seemed to have no idea of the concept of love, and was not used to having interaction with adults. And this was all true. Gabriel started to put on his shirt, but Ms. Juli stopped him again. "What's this from?" she asked, tenderly touching one of the bruises on his small, bony back.
"Ah, my old man beats me." He answered offhandedly, like it was no big deal. "Well, I mean, he used to beat on me, but I guess wit him bein dead now, I don'ts gotta worry bout him no more."
Hr talked like a fifteen year old. Of course he had a horrible vocabulary, and his voice sounded like a five year olds, but, the way he said things, just made him sound so, old. Also, he didn't seem to care that he no longer had a family, most children who came to the orphanage cried for months, or were sullen and quiet. "What happened to your parents, don't you miss them?" Asked Ms. Juli. "Hah, "scoffed Gabriel "Nevah knew me muddah, don't wanna eida, Hayden says she was a filthy whore."
"Gabriel!" Ms. Juli was astonished by the little boys mouth. "Please, watch your language. Who, is Hayden by the way?"
"Me brudda"
"Where is he?"
"I don't know, doesn't matta any more. SO anyway, ya, me faddah, not much to say. 'Cept he was da biggest sunovabitch I ever..."
"Gabriel!!"Ms. Juli cut him off. "That's quite enough, you're in enough trouble as it is already, so why don't you finish getting dressed, and we'll go talk to Mr. Ranskin."
WHOA!!!!! That's long!!!! REVIEW PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'LL LOVE YOU FOREVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!
