Chapter 6: Self Sacrifice

"Luddie are you sure you can't come with us to the movies," Gilbert whined.

"I told you I have to go meet up with a tutor for math tonight. You guys have fun."

"We can change the time for the movie and wait for you to get back so you can come," Gisil offered.

"Nein. I won't let you ruin their plans the Kirklands already agreed to watch the movie at the 6:15 PM showing with you guys. Don't change it now over me," he smiled.

"They'd understand," Gilbert grumbled.

"They would but it'd be rude so just shut up and go already," he said swatting his head lightly. "You'll be late if you don't leave now," he insisted.

"Fine we'll go," he laughed. "But if you're still at tutoring let me know and we'll pick you up after the movies when you're done," he smiled.

"I will. Now go before you're late all of you," he said urging them out.

"Bye Luddie," they chorused.

"Bye," he grinned.

They left to go next door so they could meet up and carpool to the movies. Ludwig worked on his homework until it was time for him to go. The meeting spot was only a fifteen-minute walk it's not like he needed a car. The movies weren't that far either the others were just to lazy to walk. He went into the abandoned building finding it cliché. He rolled his eyes when the seven popped out smirking.

"You all suck at trying to look like some damn anime villains or something. And why the hell are you so cliché that we're really standing in a fucking abandoned building? Can't you be a little more creative than that," he sassed.

"SHUT UP! YOU JUST BE READY TO GET YOUR ASS KICKED," Kevin roared offended.

He had put a lot of thinking into a spot thank you very much. Which kind of said something about his intelligence for him to pick such a cliché place. He was proud of himself though that's all that matters. Even if he picked a stupid place.

"Someone is touchy about his lame ass place to fight. Fine let's just get this over with so I can go home and finish my homework," he shrugged. The seven charged at him at once. "Oh here we go this is so typical," he grunted as he prepared himself.

The building was filled with a lot of noises from grunts, kicks, punches, throws, elbows, knees, or headbutts. Ludwig was doing good the first five minutes pivoting around attacks and landing his own or blocking them. But as expected is he was going to fight seven people the more it went on the more tired he grew and he couldn't keep it up enough.

He slammed his right leg into one's side to knock him away then his other foot swapped with the other in a little bounce as he nailed another in the ribs with a powerful kick as his balance was now on the right foot. One clipped him in the head with a punch that he was dodging and another took advantage and kicked his legs out from under him. Ludwig bounced up breathlessly. The moment he went down for two long was the moment he would lose. If he actually was on the floor for three seconds they would have the advantage and win the fight by beating him senseless at the same where he couldn't get up. Like they had read his thoughts one threw him before he could get his balance completely and he bounced off the wall and to the floor where the seven all pounced at once. No matter how much he tried he couldn't get away as vicious wild kicks and punches landed to his body. After a bit it finally stopped. He panted sitting up and leaned against the brick wall in pain. Blood was running into his eyes and his head was pounding.

"See? I told you that you'd get your ass kicked," Kevin smirked lighting a cigarette.

"You do realize we aren't in an anime, right?"

"STOP SAYING THAT!"

"THEN STOP COPYING ANIMES THAT HAVE THE SCHOOL THUGS THAT JUMP PEOPLE AND GIVE SOME STUPID SPEECH BEFORE THEY START FIGHTING THEN IF THEY WIN THEY ALWAYS HAVE TO FUCKING SMOKE AND MAKE ANOTHER DAMN SPEECH! YOU'RE COPYING THEM YOU WANNABE ANIME THUG," he cried.

The six guys were snickering in the background as Kevin looked pissed. He grabbed his bangs and bashed his head on the wall making him grit his teeth. He then jerked his head making it tilt back.

"I am so sick of having to hear your shit come from your stupid mouth," he seethed holding it to his throat leaving a painful burn as the others held him down from fighting or escaping. He marked him with burn after burn on his neck and collarbones. "Anything else you want to run your mouth about," he sneered thinking he had him intimidated enough to shut up.

"You're still copying anime," Ludwig said bluntly then cackled at his face of anger. "And you suck at it," he added.

"WOULD YOU SHUT THE FUCK UP," he roared punching him in the face.

"ONLY WHEN YOU STOP TRYING TO BE AN ANIME VILLIAN," Ludwig cried back and spit blood into his face.

Kevin punched him repeatedly until his eyes closed and he went limp. Blood and bruises littered his body showing up clearly on his pale creamy skin. His shirt was torn in some places and his jeans had blood on them as well as the shirt. His hair was messy and matted with blood.

"I hate him," he sneered spitting on him before storming out.

"I kind of thought he was funny," one spoke up as the others left.

"Yeah, he definitely was too bad he wasn't part of our group he seems cool," one shrugged.

Gilbert and the others called Ludwig after the movies to see if he'd eat dinner with them. He wouldn't answer their calls so they turned on the phone trackers they had to find him.

"You four are obsessed with stalking him," Arthur gasped.

"NEIN! WE'RE JUST PROTECTIVE AND FOR GOOD REASONS YOU BRAT," Theodo cried.

"That was oddly defensive," Liam spoke up and the other Kirklands agreed.

"Shut up all of you let's just get him and go eat dinner," Theodo snapped.

They only had to drive a few minutes before they were in front of an abandoned building.

"Is this even correct," Gilbert scowled.

"Maybe it means next door," Gisil spoke up.

"True," Gilbert shrugged and they got out to go next door.

"Just in case though we should really check. I have a bad feeling. He's been acting weird all week," Arthur spoke up.

"Wouldn't hurt," Allistor shrugged.

They all went into the building and peered around.

"See? He's not here," Gisil said.

"Gilbert you've gotten really pale," Liam spoke up.

"THAT'S OFFENSIVE HE IS ALBINO YOU ASSHOLE! APOLOGIZE TO HIM," Arthur cried.

"NO, I MEAN PALER THAN NORMAL," Liam cried back as the others were laughing hysterically except Gilbert.

A strange cry left his mouth as he went sprinting to the corner making them stop laughing.

"Gilbert," Theodo questioned.

He started sobbing hysterically suddenly making them rush over.

"Wake up," he chanted pitifully hiding his face into his neck.

Gilbert was on his knees clutching Ludwig's limp body in a sitting up position. Ludwig's head was rolled back limply eyes closed hair blood still running down his face from his hairline. Gilbert was crying harder than anyone had ever seen him cry in his life. He was hysterical and choking on sobs begging Ludwig to wake up.

"LUDWIG," Gisil screamed in a panic as he burst into tears.

"WE HAVE TO LAY HIM DOWN! DON'T MOVE HIM IT COULD BE DANGEROUS," Allistor yelled sternly as he pried him from Gilbert. He checked his pulse and felt a steady heartbeat. "Gilbert he'll be fine he's still breathing and his heart is steady just calm down," he said gently.

"DON'T TELL ME TO CALM DOWN! SOMEONE CALL A DAMN AMBULANCE NOW," he sobbed laying but him and petting his hair trembling violently.

"I'm already talking to someone," Dylan said on his phone.

The Kirklands felt so sick as the brothers were breaking down. They were all panicked and crying over the form of their beaten baby brother. Sirens started sounding in their ears and they could do nothing but watch and wait.

Don't worry Kevin will get his! On another note don't you love Ludwig sassing them?! I love his sassy ass. He's to much sometimes. Anyways go onward to the next chapter my readers! Go! Run! Be free!
