Chapter Twelve
Charlie woke up slowly. He was inside of the medic tent. He looked around feeling his head buzz lightly. He turned his head to the side causing his vision to blur a bit. Hoshi was laying next to him. He was hooked up to an IV. Charlie felt reality hit him suddenly. His wife had been murdered. He let out a cry of sorrow leaning back. The sound of her being torn apart played over and over again in his head. The sedative in his IV was released into his system again causing him to fall asleep.
Buck leaned against the railing on the balcony. He had taken shelter in a Newtown hotel after the bomb had leveled PontyPandy. He sighed. "All of that work and the girl and her bodyguard is still alive." He took a drink from his wine glass. He tossed the glass behind him. The glass landed, shattering on the ground in front of the scientist. "Now tell me. Why did that bomb fail? Why did it not wipe out the girl and her bodyguard like I had asked?" The scientist looked down. "I'm not sure sir. I guess we didn't calculate it right?" Buck rolled his eyes. "So you failed a simple math problem." He turned around. He grabbed the wine bottle off of cart. He clenched it tight. "You know I've been in plenty of different areas. I've tasted all sorts of great food." He picked up a glass. "I bet you've never had Merlot before." The scientist shook his head. Buck handed him the glass. The scientist took a sip only to get clocked in the head with a wine bottle. He then stabbed the scientist in the throat. The scientist's body fell to the floor. "Well shit the blood is going to be hard to get out of the carpet." He took a sip of his wine before giving the body a solid kick. "Someone get this body out of here! Also get me another bottle of wine!" He walked back out to the balcony. "Good help is so hard to find." People came rushing into the room. They moved the body out of the room cleaning up the blood. Buck wrinkled his nose against the smell of bleach. One of them approached Buck. They were shaking at the knees. " um sir." He turned around. "We have some good news." Buck smiled. "We received word from your contact about the weapon you wanted. It's ready to go." Buck put his wine glass down. "Wonderful finally something was done around here." He stepped over the blood stain on the carpet. "It's time we got the hell out of this dump." Buck walked out to his jeep. A distraught manager chased after him. "Sir you haven't paid for your stay yet!" Buck looked at them. He pulled out his pistol and shot the manager in the head. "Here take your payment in lead." He put his pistol back on his belt. "C'mon boys! We've got a town to level!"
Winter walked into the tent that him, Dilys, and Norman shared. "Dil." he murmured. Dilys smiled. She hugged the boy tightly. "Oh Winter I was so worried!" she gave him a small nuzzle. A soldier smiled at her. "We had him scrubbed down seeing as he was caught up in the radiation. He seems to be very healthy other than that." Dilys nodded. He walked out of the tent leaving them be. Norman groaned. "Must he be here with us mother?" he growled. Dilys eyed him. "He's a fucking dog." She slapped him upside the head. "There is nothing wrong with the boy. He's family just like you are." Norman rolled his eyes. "Halfbreeds are diseased creatures. It's an illness." Winter looked down. "Dilys am I sick?" he asked. Dilys shook her head. She held him tight. "No not at all." She kissed his cheek gently. Norman stormed out of the tent. Winter held himself. "Why does he hate me?" Dilys rubbed his back gently. "I don't know sweetie." Winter sniffed. He wiped away his tears. "I didn't ask to be a halfbreed. He treats it like I have some form of illness." She held him close. She sighed. She had been a single mom all of her life with no man by her side. Winter had come to her just out of nowhere. He was left at her doorstep when he was just a pup. Dilys had a hard time raising two boys who had different needs. Winter had to put up with racist comments coming from the boy who was suppose to be his brother. Each day the treatment grew worse and worse. One time Winter nearly died because Norman filled his room with poisonous vipers. Dilys had to rush Winter to the hospital up in Cardiff. Winter spent two months in the hospital before he was able to come home. Dilys kept her hold on Winter. Winter left an hour later. He decided to walk on the beach nearest to the beach.
He sat on the rock. Norman smiled. He lifted up a rock and tossed it at him. It struck Winter's back causing him to yipe out in pain. Winter eyed him. Norman kept tossing rocks at him. Winter dodged them clumsily. He still had some of the rocks hitting him. Winter finally had enough. He growled at Norman with his fangs bared. "Oh look the mongrel is getting angry." sneered Norman. 'What are you going to do about it?" Winter lept at him. He slammed Norman into the rock. He brought his fist down across Norman's face. "Don't you dare call me a 'Mongrel' bitch!" snapped Winter. Norman shoved Winter off of him. He picked up a broken pipe that happened to be laying by the rock. He then broke off of an end to make sharp. He began beating Winter with it. He stabbed Winter several times before kicking him away. "Sit stay bitch." he wiped the blood off of his lips. Winter tried to stand. His body ached. Norman struck him again. Winter collapsed. Blood pooled under him. Norman backed up into Ben. "and where do you think you're going Norman Price?" he asked firmly. "Oh hi Ben." he put on a fake smile for him. "What gives you the right to treat Winter in that manner?" Norman shrugged. "He's a halfbreed. He is the product of beastiality. He deserves every ounce of abuse he gets. His kind thinks that they can walk around and take everything from us. Wrong! He needs to learn his place." Ben crossed his arms. "You realized Hoshizora Gekko-Jones is a halfbreed. He's a wereotter and he's one of the greatest apprentices I've ever had. He works hard each day of his life. You think beating someone as great as Winter is the answer to your problem? Think again. He's human just like the rest of us. He wants an equal chance to be thought of as human. Winter is your brother and you should treat him with love and compassion. There are people out there in the world who want to kill someone like him. No matter what differences you guys have in the end he's your brother." Norman looked down. Ben lifted up Winter. "Thanks." rasped Winter. Ben smiled. "If I was you I would stand up for myself. Don't let Norman walk all over you." Winter winced as he nodded.
Ben took him to get fixed up. He gave Winter a new set of clothes. Winter looked up at Ben. "don't let Norman phase you Winter. Your special in your own kind of way." He ruffled Winter's hair gently. "He'll see that soon enough."
I just want to say that I am flattered that people have reached out to me in writing collabs with them. I've been writing fanfics for an extremely long time. I've never had people who want me to work with them on their stories. I'm touched. I really am. I never thought that my writing was decent enough to gain other people's attention. I realize I don't write in ways that would be normal but I write in a way that steers from the same styles being used over and over again.
I'm proud to say that this story has reached over 323 views in the past two weeks of being out. I really do appreciate you guys stopping by and taking time out of your day to read.
Remember to also take time out of your day to review as well. I am always working hard on getting another chapter out to you guys and would really appreciate some feedback. If there's anything I should change please let me know.
I'm also open for roleplays as well so if you want to RP just send me a pm and I will get back in touch with you.
Again thank you for the 300+ views
As always I hope you guys enjoy
Peace
