Letter Draft My?
Chapter 5
I couldn't get any sleep last night. I had images of my friends dying going in and out of my mind. I will get my revenge on these stupid gooks! If Johnny or Dally get killed here I will literally kill myself. They are my only friends from back home. I was pulled out of my thoughts with shouts. "Oh no!" I thought. "We are getting ambushed, AGAIN!"
I quickly got my rifle and my bag and ran out the door. I saw that Johnny and Dally are having trouble, so I decided to help them.
"Need a little help?' I asked
"No duh kid." Dally said
"Well you could've asked."
"Pone just help us please!" Johnny pleaded.
"Alright, fine!"
I was helping them with the gooks that snuck up on us, until I felt a sharp jabbing pain in my lower leg. I looked down and saw a hole and blood pouring out. I was falling; I could feel my head hit the ground. I felt drowsy so I closed my eyes.
What felt like minutes were really hours. I opened my eyes slowly to see a blurry figure.
"Get up kid, I don't have all day!"
I rubbed my eyes and sat up. This figure wasn't my Sargent or any of my squadron, it was a gook.
"Oh no!" I groaned "I am captured."
"That's right kid. If you cooperate you will be rewarded with food and water. If you don't you will pay the consequences"
I gulped, I guess too loudly because the guy laughed. I can still hear his laugh, echoing through the walls. I wish I could cover my ears but I am chained up to the bars of my cell.
"Are you going to cooperate?"
He was crouching down to my level. When I didn't answer him he hit me in the gut. I groaned painfully.
"I said are you going to cooperate?"
"Yes"
I hung my head in defeat. I knew if I argued I might not make it out here, maybe not even alive.
"Good boy." The man sneered and walked away.
He stopped at the door and turned around.
"Here is a little welcome gift." He laughed as he raised his boot and kicked me square in the ribs.
I wheezed painfully. Each breath I took was torture. The pain finally eased after a few minutes. I couldn't take it anymore, I was never coming back. No more Soda, no more Darry, no more Two-bit. Heck, I even missed Steve. The must think I'm dead. I crumpled to the floor as I bit my lip. The man laughed again as he walked away. I felt tears sting at the backs of my eyes, but I quickly blinked them away. I wasn't going to cry in front of them, I was already on the ground, and there was no reason to get back up.
I looked down at the ground and saw a shadow and a pair of feet outside of the bars of my cell. I gritted my teeth and looked up, expecting to see another guard. Instead there was a Vietnamese girl who looked about my age. She stooped down and put her hand through the bars of my cell. I felt like some sort of animal at a circus, there for everyone's enjoyment. I inched back slowly, but I was stuck after about two feet because of my chains. The girl made a confused face and rifled through a pocket and brought out a small key. She unlocked my chains and stared at me.
"Xin chào, tôi tên là Mau. Tôi đã giải phóng bạn, hãy làm theo tôi" She said smiling slightly (1)
"I'm sorry, do you speak English too?" I asked sheepishly
She nodded pushing her long black hair behind her ears "Yes. Sorry about that. I said that I am Mau and I have freed you, now come follow me"
I followed her like a lost puppy, or how Johnny always followed Dally.
"So, who are you?" She asks looking at me with er big yet beautiful brown eyes
"I-I'm Ponyboy, but every c-calls me Cur-Ciurtis" I stuttered and blushed deeply
"Stupid, you're so stupid stop acting like that" I thought mentally kicking myself when I heard her stifle a giggle
We reached the guards and she spoke to them in her language rather fast.
(2)"Hãy để chúng tôi thông qua xin vui lòng, tôi đã ra lệnh cho anh ta"
(3)"Cậu bé này Mau Hoa Kỳ là ai?" The guard asked her looking in my direction
(4)"Tên anh ấy là Ponyboy Curtis, rất độc đáo, không có?"
He nodded and let us through but not before he yelled something to me in is language
(5)"Hãy cẩn thận với con trai mình, cô ấy là một số ít và xã hội với những người khác!"
A/N: Hey ya'll you miss me? I sure as heck missed you! So sorry for not updating, writers block got the best of me :/ Well review and read. Hope this was worth the wait!
(1) "Hello, my name is Mau. I have freed you, follow me"
(2) "Let us through please, i was ordered to show him around"
(3)"Who is this american boy Mau?"
(4)"His name is Ponyboy Curtis, very unique, no?"
(5)"Be careful with her son, she is a handful and very social with others"
Stay awesome, Mk (:
