Chapter 4

(Kyle's point of view)

I can not believe that Kenny ran ahead. I did not like the sound of that guy that I saw earlier. He looked to shady to just be there. After Kenny disappeared I just stood there for a while. A shrill scream pierced the air shortly afterwards. I recognized Kenny's scream. I also heard something else, "Kyle, Kyle Please help me" He was cut off abruptly and I knew he was in trouble. I took off to where Kenny disappeared too. I could feel my heart beat rapidly. I reached the entrance and what I saw was enough to make my blood run cold. There was Kenny surrounded by three or four men and I saw one of them hit Kenny's leg with a bat. When his legs fell to the ground I almost screamed. Then another one struck him hard on the head with the bat.

Kenny collapsed on the ground. I could not breathe. I could not think. All I could do was one thing. I ran with all my power to the man that hit my friend and just recently my brother. "WHY DID YOU DO THAT? I WILL GET YOU FOR THAT!" The man that had struck Kenny turned around and faced me. "Ha you think you can possibly save him! Why your just a little kid! How can you possibly stop me." I ran up to the man and threw a vicious punch to the chest. He blocked it so easily that I had no time to react. He punched me so hard that I was thrown back.

I landed close to a wall and I was vulnerable to any kind of attack he had for me. I felt a sensation deep in my throat. I then coughed up a reddish liquid. To my horror, it was my blood. This little fucker hit me so hard that I coughed up blood! I tried to get up to face him but I ended up falling back down to the ground. The man grinned evilly at me and started walking over to me.

"HA! I knew it. You were just a weak little boy. Well now, I am going to make sure you will not catch up with me. Kenny is mine, got that! You should have kept a better eye on him" Slowly he reached into his pocket and took out a sharp dagger. My eyes grew wide with fear at the sight before me. The sunlight glinted down on the knife making it glint dangerously.

"Now little boy, before I end your life, I got something to tell you. If by any chance you survive, don't come find us, or I will kill Kenny very slowly and VERY painfully. Goodbye you little bastard!" With that he brought the knife down hard where it entered my chest.

Blood spurted everywhere and I gasped in pain. I looked down at the knife imbedded in my chest. I can not believe it, I was dying. I had promised my mother that I would look after Kenny and I failed her. I thought of Kenny. I felt sick thinking of how I had failed him. The man grinned at me and sharply withdrew his knife from me. Blood was coming out now. I had a dark mass of a puddle forming from underneath me. I was dying! The man got up and went somewhere. I could not see because I was weak from all of that blood. In my last moment on this earth, (or so I thought) I quickly got out a piece of paper and wrote down a message in my blood.

Dear whoever is reading this,

I was killed today by an evil man that kidnapped Kenny! I had failed so many people today I do not deserve to be brought back to life, though my mother will scream endlessly about how they should bring me back. I also failed my recently new brother Kenny. I promised my mother that I would look out for him. Instead I end up being killed. To my friend Stan, THANK YOU FOR BEING THERE FOR ME! As I lay here dying, I wish with all my heart that I could have had a second chance. GOODBYE EVERYONE!

Kyle

With that I lay the note down and put a rock to hold it down. By this time I had a splitting headache. Looking back up at the heavens, I slowly laid my head down and closed my eyes. Then a black silence and then nothing.

Sorry for the long delay, I had a lot of writer's block. Sorry for leaving you off here. If you want to see the next chapter and find out whether or not Kyle will live or die, then I need reviews. Review and you will find out. Bye for now!
