Chapter 5: The Lies in Life
Rae's POV
Being a single mother is never easy, but after my sixteen year old son started hanging out with some kids at school I don't like the look of I got concerned.
I started asking questions. Questions he started avoiding, and then he started avoiding me.
He's been lying to me too, he never does that. Ian has never lied to me like this. He's always been truthful.
At least until now.
I sigh before drying the last dish and putting it away. Then pause as I notice the garage door is partially open and with an annoyed sigh I walk out to close it.
I tell Ian to close this up, someone might try to steal my bike. Our bikes.
As I grip the door I pause when I notice something looks off and then lift the door open to find my bike gone.
"No!" I gasp.
After further inspection I notice that both my and Ian's bikes are gone. My Harely it's gone! And the bike I used to ride that I gave to Ian it's gone too.
I stand in shock as I look at my empty garage and fight tears. My bike is all I have left of that brief moment I had with the Nightwatcher, it still has a cut in the leather from his armor when he moved it.
With its loss he may never recognize me.
Then with a flicker of horror I wonder, did Ian?
No.
No my son would never do that to me. He would never ruin that small dream I have.
Then I get to wondering about where Ian is, he's usually home by now. What if, oh god…what if he tried to stop someone before I got home?
And they…hurt him?
I call the cops first and report the missing bikes and the fact that I don't know where my son is first then I call Pete and the other from my biking group.
After the cops leave my friends stay and wait with me. Ian never comes home and I end up sleeping on his bed with tears on my cheeks.
What happened to my son?
Ian's POV
As I hand over the money from selling the bikes to the man in front of me I can feel my hands shaking but I can't breathe enough to care.
This man is massive, like a mountain with a long blonde braid and he is kicked back in a chair counting the money and smiling at me.
A small Japanese woman is at his side inspecting me with sharp eyes.
"Well?" the man asks.
"He'll do," she replies, "Too small to help you out much. But I have some use for him my plan will soon be complete."
"Mistress, what of the truce?" the massive man asks, snickering softly.
"Let's consider it…dissolved," she replies before walking away, "I am rebuilding my army am I not? Start his training, he doesn't leave."
"Wait!" I call out, "You said you'd leave my mom's shop alone! What're you talking about I can't leave?"
"You just joined the Foot clan kid. But first, you get to have a little fun with the Purple Dragons," the man in front of me says stiffly, grabbing the back of my neck before I can jerk away.
"HEY! Let me go!" I shout struggling to get free as he tosses me towards a few of the gangsters off to the side.
"Discipline him," the man orders as they grab me.
"HEY! THIS WASN'T PART OF THE DEAL!" I shout.
What have I done?
Karai's POV
It has been seven years since Leonardo and I brokered a deal to end the feud between the two clans.
My army is growing every day. Street kids, kids tricked into being taken, and of course the children of many of my most skilled warriors fighting alongside their parents.
And my son, a warrior worth a thousand of Leonardo and a spitting image of his father at fifteen.
In secret I have been plotting to destroy their clan and planning Leonardo's death.
First I plan to destroy his family in front of him and then…I will have some fun.
After all he murdered my father.
My revenge shall be sweet.
A/N: Well now what did I just do? ; ) Also Rae's first appearance was in The Nightwatcher's Admirer if you missed it.
