Chapter Eleven: A Ghost of The Past Comes Back.

(No P.O.V)

While on the road the gang well was silent for one, they kept on peeking at Harper who sat quietly by his sit admiring the view. He pulled out from his pack his sketch pad along with his pencil. He opened the back portion since the last drawing he drew was no other than Alek.

He started to sketch an abandoned checkpoint they drove through few minutes earlier. He memorized it already he didn't even notice he was sketching the outline of the fence along with the plant life consuming what remains of those man-made structures.

Since Alek was beside him, she couldn't say anything to compliment him but instead stared at awe as he shaded the shadow of an abandoned Humvee just beside the pad before adding the last details of the building in the background.

He was about to keep it before Alek swept it from his hands, he was about to retort before looking at Aleks face. She was mesmerized so far looking at the sketch that looks so real in her eyes. Look to realistic to be a drawing but no in Harper's eyes, he thinks it's a regular sketch he doesn't understand why people think that his drawing is like that. Even back in high school Alek saw a sketch of her and instead of punching him or even humiliating him. She asked if she could keep it, and that's where Harper looked at her with wide eyes. He stuttered if she was serious before she gave him her typical look which answered his question.

But he asked why, "Out of all the people why me." Then that's where Alek finally to recognition of Harper for the first time in her life during high school. She remembered that auburn hair guy who kept on getting bullied in front of the school, hallways, classes, everywhere at school he was the ass.

And finally, she noticed him, on his state of pain. She didn't see him as what he was before she saw the drawing. She saw at first, he was a pathetic loser who can't stand up for himself even if he's the mayor's son. Now when he asked that question in a small yet trembling voice, she finally felt guilt for once. They tormented him for no reason yet here he was with them breathing their air, going to the same class, eating their food.

She looked into his eyes and saw a broken soul in a broken world where he lived in. It was senior year when she recognized him again, remembering their childhood as a whole. All of the memories got back to her and she felt like shit after that. She promised she would help Harper even look out for him but after the incident in the evacuation center, everyone thought he was dead.

"Wow" Alek whispered. Harper looked at her softly admiring her again. How the sunlight makes her hair and skin glow. How her eyes see his soul as it rots inside and out.

Heather cleared her throat pulling both of them out of their thoughts. By now everybody looked at them with questioning looks. They both looked at each other for a second but to them it was years.

Alek handed the sketchbook back but for some reason as their hands went into contact with each other they both felt a jolt coming from both of their touches. They looked at each other before Harper looked at the window scratching his neck. Alek tucked in her bangs back to her ear facing the road up ahead.

The girls grinned admiring the couple as the both flushed in embarrassment, as for Frank well he was confused.

The ride became more awkward we for Harper and Alek that is, the kept on stealing glances on one another before the car went on a halt. They finally reached Berk but they were called to come out which they did, once the spotter saw them. He looked surprised before calling out the gate guard to open the gate.

Once the gate opened they got in as they parked on the same spot where they headed out near the tent. As the gang got out, Frank opened the back getting the oxygen tank out.

Heather and Rebecca helped Frank, Cami was busy checking the SUV while Alek was talking to one of Stephan's lieutenant. Harper got out walking to Alek side before he collapsed at the floor his jaw stinging. He looked up holding his jaw before seeing Sam with his fist up along with Eret and Trevor behind him.

"You got a lot of never coming her merc!" Sam Sneered.

"You know you have to pay for our bill, right?" Eret suggested holding his fist up.

"No we just kill him, he's just a scumbag from the wasteland." Sam said before pulling out a P250.

He aimed at Harper before Harper got up grabbing Sam's hand placing the gun at his forehead.

"Do it fucking do it! End my life, end my fucking miserable life!" Harper started which got everybody by surprise.

"Come on pull the fucking trigger big boy, let's see how you feel when you killed a man right in front of you!" Harper egged on.

Sam's hand started to shake as Harper looked at him dead in the eyes. "Sam put the gun down." Heather said slowly.

"No no, don't come on! You seem like a guy who won't see nightmares every day for the rest of his life after this!" Harper said intimidating Sam.

Now Sam looked scared in pulling the trigger as if he was having second thoughts. Eret grabbed Sam's shoulder shaking his head saying it's not worth it. He looked back at Harper who spoke out.

"Come on your doing everybody a favor, killing a bastard like me! Come do it already pull the fucking trigger! Or what walk away do it you fuck, walk way and be a lout. A fucking Snoutlout! Harper mocked with a joyful tone

He opened his arms wide telling Sam to pull the trigger, Sam's hand started to shake even more before he pulled out. Harper got up before punching Sam right at the mouth causing him to land ass first to the ground.

He covered his mouth before he spat out a tooth, Harper glared at the man before walking away to the direction of the bar. Alek went to Sam before kicking him in the chest. "Are you crazy or just stupid?" She scolded before going after Harper.

Harper kept on waling ignoring whoever was calling him before someone held his shoulder he stopped, hearing an angels voice to stop. He turned around to see Alek looking at him with concern. He just stared at her eyes, his eyes finding comfort and closure before they were replaced with a wall blocking her out of his life.

He slowly removed Alek's hand from his shoulder before walking away from her entering the bar, she straight ahead where Harper disappeared before going back. Thinking that he needs time before he can confront him again. When she heard Harper yell, it sounded broken. Sounded like he finally gave up.

Once she got back, she noticed Cami and Heather scolding the guys while Rebecca and Frank moved the oxygen tank to a Humvee which was the Mayors personal car.

She walked to the group hearing Cami and Heather scold and glare at the three boys who had their head downs. Another Humvee came in turning out to be Stephan's.

"What's going on here?" Stephan asked before seeing Sam at the floor clutching his mouth.

"What happened here!" His voice boomed in, the girls were about to answer but the boys beated them to it.

"Drake did this Uncle, punched me after I went to say sorry to him." Sam lied to which the boys behind him agreed.

That's when Alek spoke out. "That's bullshit and you guys know it." She started which the girls behind her agreed. "Sam punched Drake, before pulling out his pistol aiming at Drake. Drake just stared at him accepting his fate, which Snoutlout couldn't do." Alek finished using the small nickname Harper used.

Stephan looked at both groups before going with Alek's group. Before he could talk an nurse ran to him. "Mayor Stephan your wife, she needs you." She panted.

Wasting no time, he got in the Humvee driving to the house along with the adults behind him as the ran to the Mayors house.

Back at the bar, Harper was busy drinking his sorrows away while Gerald looked at him with sympathy. Before asking for another round, the door opened reveling to be Alek. "Gobber, Stephan needs you! There something wrong with Val!" She informed.

Gerald got out of the bar, but to his surprise Harper followed behind him. Both Gerald and Alek looked at Harper before he spoke. "Look if she needs help, she needs all of it." He said simply to which the both nodded as they ran to the Mayors house.

Once there everybody got in well except Harper, he looked at the house to see it was still the same old mansion. Nothing changed, it was all the same. He looked around having flashbacks before ignoring them running into the house.

He got up the stairs, seeing everybody by the doorway. He moved in ignoring everybody's glares, he stood beside Alek to see the scene unfold. He was his mother laying at the bed, weak as his father held her hand soothing her. The nurse placed the oxygen tank in before she started to breath normally.

She looked around before her eyes looked with Harper. "Harper." She whispered. Stephan heard this before telling her it's just the oxygen coming in. She disagreed saying he's right there standing by the door way. Stephan looked at the door way to see Drake, he looked back before saying that Harper's dead.

That's when Harper's heart broke, he walked in before Stephan stood up as they both had a confrontation. "This is a family matter merc, I suggest you leave now." Stephan said to Harper.

Harper's eyes grew wide before he glared daggers to his father. "After all these years, you don't even recognize your son up close." He whispered.

Stephan didn't hear this. "Speak up, I can't hear you." Now that's when Harper's nerves finally broke out.

"Don't you recognize your son, you fucking moron!" Harper yelled out taking everybody by surprise.

Stephan was pissed. "What are you talking about!" He yelled back.

Harper irritated, pulled of his mask as the it dropped on the floor. Stephan's eyes were wide along with the others of the room. To see a boy, they thought who died standing in front of them as they speak. He pushed his father out during his shocked state kneeling next to his mother.

"Harper is that you?" Vallory asked her voice soft.

Harper had tears on his eyes as he held his mother's hand. He nodded, "Yes mom, it's me your son. Right here standing beside you. I'm not dead mom, I'm not." Harper sobbed as he placed his head on his mother's hand.

Vallory struggled a little before hugging Harper's head. She got his head up with his hand by his chin, looking at the boy with a weak smile. "Look at you, you have grown. You thought I'll never recognized my boy, remember Harper a mother never forgets." With that she got up from her bed soothing Harper as he sobbed into his mother's chest.

Everybody in the room, surprised, gob smacked, no words. To see that Drake was Harper Haddock all along.

A/N:

Well xd hahahahahaha.

Here are the comments as I said that I will answer personally.

Mia: Lol no its not accurate a lighter directly to the wound won't seal it. Flame to the metal (side of the knife) for a minute or two would do the job or add a bit of gunpowder from a bullet to the wound and lighting the bad boy would work as well :) The more you know.

Well thank you for well fixing my mistake, as soon as I get the re-write down I'll try to make the scene more accurate as you said using the methods you gave me thank you really, it helps me in writing scenes like this and possibly in real life if I get shot xd. Again, thank you for fixing my well my inaccurate mistake.

Therealvahl: Oc named johnny, based of a friend, asshole, make sure he dies.

Alright first of all no offense to you, my story is not some sort of gateaway to see your problems burn. Well yes, I can tell people enjoy this story for entertainment or to relieve stress yes. But to and extent of putting your friends in the story to die well that's just too far. I'll grant your request, I'll put you friend who is an asshole as a cameo to die. But in the future, don't do this again please and that's to everybody. I'm doing this because I feel the same way, where you thought he is a friend but is still an asshole to you no matter what yet you still accept him as a friend which you kept on regretting. I will ignore anything with this kind of behavior or whatever xd in the future.

Another update maybe in a few hours or tomorrow, sorry if I got a little bit harsh it's just when you said the comment it got me pissed off sorry but I'll put him in the story.

As for Oc and Factions suggestions. Place them in the comments and I'll see if they make that cut.
