Chapter 7

Ellie's POV

"Holy shit. Jake fucked Lucas up," I thought as I ran towards him the little girl ,who I assumed to be his sister, was trying help him up "Go get your parents, I'll help him," I said to the little girl but she didn't listen at first "It's ok, you can trust me," I said to reassure her and she then nodded then left. Shortly after I saw Esther running towards us and helped get Lucas to his feet. We helped him walk back to their house where Esther started to take care of any injuries he had so I was left with the little girl outside, she had the same hair colour as Esther and it wad tied up in a small ponytail, and the blue eyes Lucas and she wore a red t-shirt and some jeans "What's your name?" I asked the girl.

"Aisha," she responded simply.

"That's nice name," I said trying to cheer her up "How old are you?"

"Eight," she replied.

"Where's your dad?"

"He died when I was really young."

"Oh I'm sorry I didn't know."

"Oh that's ok, I never really new him since I was little," Aisha said then Esther came out "How's Lucas?"

"He'll be fine, nothing too serious," Esther replied.

"That's a relief," I said.

"Now I need to find out who did this to him."

"It wad that new kid with the weird red eyes he did," Aisha replied almost instantly.

"Alright you stay here and look after your brother, I'm gonna go have a word with him," Esther said and then opened the door to the house and walked out with me closely following. When, we got to the house we saw Jake sitting on the porch still smoking a cigarette "How dare you lay a finger on him," Esther said once when we approached him.

"Excuse me," Jake said with a raised eyebrow.

"Don't play dumb with me. What makes you think you can just beat up my son and get away with it."

"Oh now I get it," Jake said "So that brat is your son," he continued with a smirk on his face "Well there wouldn't have been a problem if he didn't attack me."

"What?"

"That's right he attacked me first, I was only defending myself and I gave him plenty of opportunity he back off. But your son insisted on trying to fight me so I was left with no choice but to beat him to the point where he wouldn't bother me anymore," Jake explained.

"Damn, he had this whole thing planned out in his head," I thought.

"So what are you going to do?" Jake taunted and Esther turned and started walking away "Word of advice tell your son to get stronger if he wants to go around throwing punches at people," Jake added then Esther walked out of sight "You snitched didn't you?"

"No, it was her little sister," I replied.

"Better not of been you or else you could be next," Jake threatened then walked inside.

The next day

Jake's POV

As now would be normal we went to school at 10 in the morning with each lesson boring me more and more, school was turning out to be the ultimate test of my patience. By the time lunch came around I was bored stiff and was in need off a break. I finished my food quickly and then went outside to be away from everything else. All day people were talking about how I beat up that brat, all I heard was "Hey did you hear, that new boy beat up Lucas," "What no way Lucas is the strongest in our class there's no way that new boy could beat," it was only a matter of time until people came asking if it was true, and that time was short. A group of five came walking up to me I tried to use the death stare intimidation tactic that I've been using but I guess it want work if they're in a group "What do you want?" I asked in an irritated voice.

"We just came to ask, is it true that you beat up Lucas yesterday?" one of the annoyances asked.

"Yes now fuck off," I replied but they didn't move an inch.

"We don't believe you," they responded after looking at each other.

"Well that's your problem, unless you want a beating as well to prove it," again they didn't respond until looking at each other then they began to ran around me in circle at a speed that was faster than I expected but nothing mind blowing. "They running around me in a coordinated circle to attempt to his me in my blind spot and if that fails continue to attack me from other sides, this would be easier if i could kill them but it's not anything I can't handle," i thought and then I started using the hearing trick and as a result was able to see them when they passed behind me. After five rotations the one that ended up behind me started running towards me so I moved to the side to avoid his punch as he passed me then two more from both sides started running towards me so I ran towards one and as he was about to punch me a I grabbed his arm and his shirt and pulled him so that he would bump into the other one that was about to attack me. "Two down, three to go," I thought the one I took down earlier had rejoined in the circle "I have to get them out of the circle," two more then started coming at me so instead of getting them to bump into each other I kept dodging any attack the pair tried and guided them away from the circle. One of them was starting to lag behind the other and the one if front throw a punch that was meant for my face but I ducked down to dodge it and pushed him into the other guy. The last one tried to hit me while my back was turned to him so I quickly moved to the side and started dodging punches he threw at me, he then went for a roundhouse kick so i blocked it with two arms and grabbed his leg throwing him off balance so he fell to the ground I then pulled out mother's knife unsheathed it and held it close to his neck "You lose," I said ending the fight.

"Damn," the guy that I held the knife to said but I heard someone running towards me quite quickly so I jumped to the side when he got close, when I was out of the way I saw Lucas was the one that tried to attack me and he was wielding a long metal pole. Looking at it more closely it seemed to be designed for combat and it would be hard to beat him while he has that since I don't have any off my weapons on me.

"Rather old fashioned aren't ya," I said.

"I'm not gonna let you kill any of them," Lucas responded.

I mentally face palmed at that "My this guy is thick," I thought as he started to run towards me.

"Lucas wait," the first guy I attacked said but he wasn't listening so I had to dodge all the swings from his staff, "His swings are large and quick so there's not much time to counter attack," I thought he then brought his staff down towards the the ground so I dodged to the side and got behind him and held my knife close to his neck.

"You idiot, I wasn't going to kill them, that fight was only to prove to them that I fucked you up yesterday," I explained to the idiot.

"Oh," he said in an embarrassed voice.

"Is that enough proof for you?" I asked.

"Yeah," the first guy I attacked replied and I moved my knife away from Lucas' neck and the group stood in front of me "I'm Ben," the first guy I attacked said, he was dark skinned with black hair that was completely flat and he had brown eyes.

The rest of them then started to introduce themselves.

"It's Micheal."

"Name's Ethan."

"I'm Harry."

"My name's Warren."

"You already know mine, thanks for the entertainment, talk to you later although probably not," I said then walked off.
