This is Lady Shadow92's chapter. Enjoy.
Sky sat on the bench at Campus High School, home to the colts. Her deep brown hair pulled back in a ponytail. It was a basic high school full of after school activities. The biggest event was the football team, though their team needed work. Though Sky, never paid attention to the team or after school activities. Her mind was always on something else. Her shirt sleeve lifted up, revealing the red mark, her daddy gave her that morning. He was drunk as usual, and mainly her brother protected her from her father, well protected her from everything.
That morning
Sky was brushing her hair in the bathroom. She had to leave soon, for the bus would be coming soon. Normally her brother would give her a ride but he had to pull an extra shift down at his job. They needed the money; she saw final notice on their electric and water bill. Thanks to her money, she got from a part time job working at Joe's Diner, she paid the water bill. Hopefully her brother could pay the electric bill before dad takes all the money.
Just then the door burst open and a strong arm grabbed her wrist. "Where's money!" shouted her father. His eyes were red from drinking and stumbling to her.
"I don't know," Sky told him. His grip tightened on her wrist, causing tears to fall from her face.
"Where money!" he growled.
"Daddy, you are hurting me," Sky begged. Suddenly her father fell to the ground, knocked out from the alcohol, for he was snoring. Sky took her chance and ran outside to the bus before he woke up. Oh she would face his wrath later tonight; she begged her brother would be home.
Present time
She covered her sleeve back up and waited for her brother to come pick her up. He called from the school phone promising her, he would pick her up. So, she did what she always did when she was alone, write in her faded journal. It wasn't much just a dollar notebook that her brother gave her. In her world everything was perfect, her brother and her were happy.
Unbeknown to her two members of the Caribou gang were watching from afar. They weren't really a gang, just some local punks that caused trouble in the town. Usually they were known for starting fights, stealing radios, or movies, and smoking by the football field. They would act all tough but the second you threaten to tell their parents, oh they became three year old crybabies. If only Sky knew that at the time.
"Hey Joe look, isn't that Space Head?" asked one boy with greasy blonde hair.
"Oh yeah, always writing in that silly book of hers, so, weird," said Joe.
"Let's have some fun," said the blonde, and walked up to Sky. "Hey sweetie," he said smiling at her.
Sky looked up to see the two boys. "Um, hello," she said, unsure what to do.
"What are you writing in their?" asked Joe, also grinning at her.
"Stories," she answered.
"What kind of stories?" asked the leader.
"Happy ones," she answered, getting uneasy. The one called Joe kept trying to look down her shirt, but she kept her chest covered.
"That's nice, hey Joe we love happy stories, read us one sweetie, please," asked the leader.
"Oh yeah, we would love to hear one," said Joe grinning.
"It's not finished," Sky said. Then she got up and put her stuff away. "I have to go," she said. Before she could leave the blonde boy grabbed her by the waist.
"What's your hurry, we were just having fun," he said. His breath reeked liked something crawled in there and died.
"Let me go!" Sky shouted, trying to remember which pressure point to use in this situation.
"Hey be nice and maybe we can show you something nice," said Joe looking her up and down. Sky was beyond terrified; her sky blue eyes were scanning the area looking for her brother. Just then a deep voice called out.
"Let her go!" shouted the voice. Both boys and Sky looked to see another boy, he looked older than Sky, maybe the same age as her brother, she couldn't really tell.
He was about the same height as her maybe a few inches taller. His hair was black with silver lines on the sides and his eyes were a deep green. His clothes were a green shirt, covered by a black jacket, black jeans with a silver lining and black boots. The two boys that held Sky let go immediately all the blood drained from their faces. Oh shit its Dragon," whispered the blonde.
Dragon walked over to them and glared at the boys. "You two aren't giving this young lady a hard time, right?" he asked sharply.
"Oh no we were just talking, right Joe," said the leader.
"Right, just talking," said Joe, nervously.
"Then why did you grab her?" growled Dragon.
"She uh slipped we were catching her," the leader said quickly.
"I think you two better go," said Dragon.
"Good idea, later," said the leader and he and Joe took off. Like two dogs that were scolded by their master.
Dragon looked back at Sky and said "You okay?"
"Yeah, thanks to you," she said smiling.
"Don't mention it um," he said but realized he didn't know her name.
"Sky, and your name?" she asked.
"Um Price," he said nervously.
"Well thank you Price," she said smiling.
"Whatever," he mumbled. "Why aren't you afraid of me?" he finally asked. Sky just stopped and looked at him, with a confused look.
"Should I be?" she asked. Before he could answer, a truck pulled up honking. "Oh that's my brother, I have to go, nice meeting you Price," she said and ran up to the car. As soon as she got in, the truck disappeared down the road. A few moments later, a black limo pulled up to where Price stood. He sighed and got in.
"Greetings, Mr. Consuelo, ready to go home?" asked the driver.
"I guess," he said and the limo pulled out of the school.
