This is a little late putting it on, but I've been studying for my French assessment, which I'm still no where near ready for, but life goes on. Remember reviews=happy + update and no reviews=pissed off + no update XD ENJOY…
Four months on
"They have as much right to live as we do!" Shouts Mikey at our Uncle.
"They kill people Mikey!" I just sit in between them eating my cereal.
"How do you know that we didn't start killing them first!" I don't bother to stop them anymore.
"So you think we should just let them kill innocent people!" It happens every morning.
"What about the humans who kill innocent people?" I have tried to see Mikey's side of thing but then Uncle always comes back with an argument point.
"We let the police deal with that!" Which would be that. And then Mikey will say this,
"The police can't do shit! And they don't kill them!" Which is another great point.
"But humans can redeem themselves! Vampires are addicted to sucking our blood which kills us! They're nothing but killers!" And that's good is well. This is why I just stay out of it.
"NOT ALL OF THEM!" Oww, that was more of a shriek then a shout now. This is different, Mikey's never said that sentence before, he normally storms up his room shouting 'stop being a cunt' by now.
"And how would you know Mikey?" Yeah, how would he know?
"I just do okay!" He starts to storm off but this time to the front door "I will never kill a vampire, even if one is about to kill me!"
"Is it because your some vampire's bitch?" And with that he slams the door. I get up to go get him but Uncle grabs my arm pulling me back down to my seat. "If he wants to take the side of the vampires, Gerard, let him, it'll only cause us more trouble" I shake my head and look towards the door.
"He's my little brother; I need to take care of him. What if he gets into trouble?" I go to get up again, but only to be pulled back down, also again.
"He won't. Besides he'll come back when he's hungry"
"He's not a cat!" I turn back to my cereal knowing that Mikey will come back, it's daytime anyway, no chance of him getting hurt by vampires.
Mikey gets back in at nine. Which is good because the vampires wouldn't have been out yet. He comes into the study where I and Uncle were planning out our mission for tonight. "Have we come to join the hunters yet Mikey?" He shakes his head and gives our Uncle a dirty look.
"I've just come to say, I'm moving out" and he turns out of the room. I jump up and follow him, glad to have not been stopped by Uncle Ray again.
"You can't move out! Your only 12 Mikey! Where are you going to go!"
"I can move out! I know I'm only 12 Gerard! And I'm going to stay with my mate!" That fucking mate again. He still hasn't said his name.
"I think it'll be good for Mikey to move out for a while." Says Uncle suddenly appearing behind me.
"It won't be for a while. As long as you're killing, vampires I'm not staying here" said in the darkest way ever, nothing like the Mikey I know, or knew.
"Fine, go pack your stuff then." They have a stare down for like a minute or something and Mikey goes up stairs.
"Why the fuck are you just letting him leave!" I go to punch him, but he grabs my arm in mid flight. I throw my other fist at him but the same happens. So instead I resort to throwing my whole body about in an attempt to hit him, but it's unless. After about a minute he pushes me away, tells me to grow the fuck up and walks back to his study.
"Are you going to help then?" He calls from the room. I go in but just stare at him. "What?"
"Are you just going to let him leave like that?" He sighs and sits up in his chair.
"Listen, Mikey is a lost cause, the only thing we can do for him is kill as many vampires as we can to keep him from getting killed by one" so I should just let my brother be in the world by himself, what if he gets bit by the vampire before we get to it. I voice this opinion, and he replies with, "we should let Mikey make his own mistakes." And then we get back to work, while my little brother is up stairs packing.
It was the next day, 9PM and my brother was about to leave. He said his mate was going to pick him up in a taxi. Uncle Ray being suspicious about the time asked why he was being picked up so late, but Mikey just said it was because his mate had to work late, which makes me wonder how old he is or if Mikey is lying. "I'll still call you Gerard, to let you know I'm alright" Mikey said while we shared a hug.
"Can't you just tell me where you're going?" I'm sure I felt tears coming on.
"No, I don't want you coming to find me either. I'm sorry, I just can't be around you while you're doing this Gerard, it's not right. If you come and find me, I swear I will end you" he broke away from the hug and looks out the window where a black cab had just pulled up. "I've got to go." He picked up his bag and went out the door making his way down to the taxi. I watched from the kitchen window. A boy jumped out from the back of the cab and pulled Mikey into a hug, I'm pretty sure it was a boy, but it was too dark to see their features. They got back into the cab and it drove off. Then the tears came and I didn't bother to stop them, I could feel this would be the last time I would see my brother.
