Ch 15: Meeting Crow World
These last few weeks have been pretty boring to say the least. Me and Pops have been investigating into the deals that have been going on in the docks between World and his buyers, we have been following Crows pack to see what is going on exactly. Pops needed me for my super hearing to listen in on what they're saying since he says his ears are becoming "Damaged". All I saw was a lot of adults in a suit and tie trading whatever they had to and heard was when the next deal was and when and where. Pops said after a few weeks that they had a pattern to the drug deals but he is still figuring out the weapons so that probably in a few weeks once he can conduct a plan of attack and figure out where the weapons will be next time, then the suicide plan will finally commence.
Though I have to admit, all of this investigation crap was boring me to death but in these last few weeks, I have grown to like Pops. He's a pretty smart guy when I really thought about it, and unlike most people his age (Still don't know how old he is but if I ask pretty sure he will punch me) He is actually strong which is something I always respect. Plus he is letting me stay in his house and he is making me food constantly, I am pretty sure he wants me to ether gain weight for the fight, or stuff my belly for the rest of my life, but I'm not complaining. I love his food!
He is even making me wake up pretty early every day so I can jog fifteen miles and I have ten minutes to finish so I can increase my stamina. I'm a pretty damn fast wolf but he has a point, after the ninth mile I feel like my legs are about to snap in half and he punches me right in the face if I even slow down my pace even a little bit. I know he's being tough on me but its only so I won't die when the plan happens. I get the feeling that if we were under different circumstances he would be much nicer. Maybe after the plan if I live I can see it for myself but I'm not getting my hopes up.
When my mind isn't being slowly killed and my body isn't sore, I am spending time with my sisters. They are both obsessed with board games for some odd reason so we are usually playing Monopoly or Uno and yelling at each other but in a good way. It's actually a lot more fun than investigating and being a detective with Pops so playing a board game is actually a good stress relief. Only problem is, I suck at Monopoly and I get the feeling Dorothy is cheating in Uno but I just laugh when I think about it.
It was a Friday and I was over my sister's house listening to the band that they are obsessed with. "5 seconds of summer." I was in their room that had posters of a bunch of weird bands and celebrities on their walls, a red carpet and oh yea the room was black with wolf prints on the walls that were white and purple. That looked pretty awesome than the rest of the girly stuff. I was on edge of the bed on my phone when they asked something I didn't realize I was doing.
"Hey Angel, why are you always wearing that red and black jacket? Don't get me wrong it's pretty awesome but I've never seen you wear any other top." Said Sophia
"Yea plus those blood red gloves, I've seen you wear it most of the time when I'm with you. What does it mean?" asked Dorothy
I looked at my gloves and down at my jacket. Did they mean something? Kali gave me these as a gift but I never thought about it until now.
"It means that even though I lost most people I love, there are still few with me today and these clothes remind me of that. It was a gift from my friend Kali, when I left Beacon Hills to come looking for my past here it was sort of a parting gift. My jacket and gloves mean a lot to me." I said
There was a bit of silence after I said that and I didn't mean for things to get all emotional of awkward but I am pretty sure I did just that.
"Uhh..sorry I didn't mean to..." I started to say
" No! No no Its fine that was okay. I'm glad you told me that." said Sophia
"Yea and trust me there are still people who love you. You got two people who love you right in front of you." said Dorothy
I smiled like a idiot when I heard that but then I thought .
"But why?" I asked
Dorothy and Sophia looked at each other for a second, then looking back at me
"Well for one, Mom always told us about you and always rambled on how he had a good heart but she gave up on him and if she ever got another chance she would never let him go. I never thought we would meet you again and now that we have, it feels like If I let you go again... I failed as your sister." said Dorothy
I smiled like an idiot again hearing this again.
"I don't know what to say like that was pretty sweet what you just said." I said
"Hah yea after she punched you in the gut I doubt you thought you would get along with each other." said Sophia laughing
I laughed too "Yea I thought we might hate each other after that." I said
"Ugh stop bringing it up you guys! I feel bad!" she said putting her face in her pillow
We laughed it off the rest of the night. Then after a bit we decided to go for a walk around the neighborhood and just talk. It was about ten at night and we were walking on the sidewalk and talking about what board game we should get next. It was quiet, all I heard was crickets, the moon was at the first quarter and with the stars in the sky, it looked pretty nice poetic. Then something ruined the moment. I saw two figures standing right ahead of me and they did not look friendly. One had a mean expression like he was furious, he had one a brown t-shirt with something about nature on it and some khakis with white Sneakers on. He had goofy Harry Potter glasses and his hair was not very well done, it was black and it was a afro that hadn't been taken care of in weeks, but the other was the opposite. He had a calm expression on his face but at the same time it almost looked like he had a wicked grin. A evil grin. He dressed much more appropriate, he had on a suit and tie that was pretty standard. Once I sensed they were werewolves I stopped walking and so did my sisters. My sisters were both to my side and I felt better knowing they had my back if things went the wrong way.
"Are you De Angelo?" asked the man in the suit
"That's right, who are you?" I asked
"I am the man you have been following for the past few weeks, I am here to tell you that if you don't stop following me this girl will die. Slowly and painfully." he said smiling
He tossed me a phone and a video was playing. It was dark so I couldn't see much but all I heard was "ANGEL HELP ME!"
It was Mercy. I knew it was her. I can recognize her voice from anywhere. I was so mad that my eyes turned red and I gripped the phone and crushed it with my bare hand. I was pissed.
"That's a shame. I really appreciated that phone." Said World
"You want it back?!" I asked and threw the phone at his head as fast as I could but he simply tilted his head slightly to the left calmly and avoided the phone.
"Don't you dare throw a phone at him!" said the nature guy
He charged at me which was his first mistake. I could tell I was much faster than him but and I could have easily beaten him but once he got close enough, my sisters went up behind him and did a Nelson on each of his arms and held him right there. He was wide open and he couldn't do anything to move. I was gladly going to hurt him. I drew my head back and launched it forward and both of our skulls clashed. I head butted him. My sisters let him go after that and he was on the floor holding his head and groaning.
"Samuel I told you not to provoke something violent." said World looking at him on the floor
"It's about to get really violent!" I said and I roared right at him
"So rude child. Though if you dare fight me the girl will die and I will make sure she suffers. All you simply must do is join me and she lives." He said grinning like a mad man
