Davis put his black hoody on as he trudged along the dark streets of Suicide Slums. He had hoped that one day he wouldn’t have to resort to this. But it’s the only thing he could think of to tame the dark beast that brewed inside him. It was his only way to control it. He never realized what happened until one of their foster home so called father’s tried to hurt George, Davis went to defend his brother and then suddenly everything went fuzzy and black and he woke up in George’s arms in the ambulance. George told the authorities that it was a massive wolf that tore their foster father to pieces and he told Davis what really happened. He told him how he turned into this gigantic Beast and killed and tore their foster father to pieces. As soon as he did that he turned back. Davis couldn’t believe it. He always felt like there was something dark inside him that there was something that made him all wrong. What he couldn’t believe was that George became even more of a fierce friend and brother to him. He couldn’t believe that George wasn’t afraid of him. He couldn’t believe even after seeing the vile creature Davis really was he still stood by his side looking out for him. George made sure that Davis stood away from conflict. He made sure that Davis stayed him self while they were kids by always fighting for him and making sure no dangerous confrontations came around Davis. And George made sure that they never parted. George thought he got it all figured out until one day Davis turned into the Beast for no reason at all. People got hurt. Davis couldn’t live with himself. George had an opportunity to be adopted and so Davis left him and ran away hoping he’d never complicate his life again. He lived on his own the streets trying to stay away from people as much as possible. Then one time while some one tried to hurt this innocent woman who stumbled in suicide slums on accident he had defended the woman and he could feel the monster trying to take over but then the guy went after him with the knife trying to kill him so he defended himself and killed the guy and the piercing pain and the black out never came and the horrible Beast was tamed.
This was the only way to tame him now. He had joined the intergang before this to keep himself from getting into confrontations with them so he wouldn’t hurt anyone. He had his issues with them. George and his new father were always heavy on the case against the intergang. The intergang was afraid of him. They heard the rumors the whispers. They knew not to mess with him. Bad things happened around him.
So here Davis was lurking in the dark streets of despair like a predator. His prey were those who sought out the innocent. Tonight his prey was A.J. A.J. had killed Tony. Tony was a nice guy. He only joined the intergang to survive same as Davis. He had a weak stomach and he couldn’t hurt anyone. Davis knew he always wanted out and when he finally gathered the guts to do it, A.J. had taken that away from him, along with the rest of his life. A.J. would pay for this and this monstrous Beast would be tamed. George had believed that none of this was necessary. He believed that Chloe was the answer to their prayers and Davis wanted to believe it too. But he couldn’t take the chance he put Chloe in danger. He couldn’t hurt her. Something changed in him when he met her. He couldn’t quite figure out what it was. There was this feeling in the pit of his stomach when he met her. Something he never experienced before. Around her all of the chaos and the destruction and the hazardness of his life went a way for a split second and it was just her. When he heard her small whisper all he could think of was her. Then A.J. turned around and he didn’t even feel the usual ache and pain that happened when he was usually fighting the Beast with in. He felt peace and warmth.
He couldn’t think of that now. Now there was too much to risk. He couldn’t risk hurting Chloe. She was extremely lucky. If he had turned Chloe could have been dead. He didn’t want to think what could’ve happened and what still can. So he was here to do what he had to do.
Then he saw a shadow from the corner. He followed it, he followed the darkness, it was the only way to stop it in himself. He went around the corner and then he saw something drop from the sky slowly. It was black leather. A black leather trench coat fluttered around and then the girl landed in front of him. She wore a mask. Then she stood up in front of him folding her arms.
He sighed and he said, “Andy. What are you doing here?”
“Your dear brother called. He’d knew you’d be here. He knows what you’re going to try to do.”
Davis rolled his eyes and said, “I don’t have a choice.”
“Actually Davis you finally do. For the first time you do.”
Davis sighed out not being to happy with George but being not so happy with himself.
Then Davis said, “What did George tell you?”
“He said he found you a cure or at least an alternative to this.”
Davis shook his head.
“We don’t know if she’s a cure. We don’t know if she has anything to do with this. It could be a fluke and I’ll put her in danger.”
“Wait? She? Has thee infamous loner fallen in love?”
“What? Love? Nah, I don’t know her. I barely know her. I just met her once. And sure she’s beautiful and she’s not like any girl I’ve ever met. But I don’t fall in love its part of what makes me so wrong.”
Andrea sighed, “Davis, you’re not wrong it’s just something that’s infected you like me. It was probably the meteor. You have feelings just like the rest of us ok. And it’s kind of obvious you have a thing for this girl. What would she think of this, if you finally could have a choice, if you could not put your self through all of the torture and the guilt. If you have a good non killing option, you should take it.”
“The other option is putting her in danger.”
“Davis, you’ve been able to stay tame around me and George. It usually only happens when there is conflict. We are pretty safe when we’re with you now.”
“I’ve been keeping my self tame by…I need to do what I usually do to keep my self tame. I couldn’t stand to hurt her. Besides it’s A.J. I’ll solve this problem and Chloe will be safe from him and he won’t be able to hurt anyone again.”
“So this is about revenge?”
“Are you really lecturing me? Do I have to remind you about our little promise?”
“No, I know you’ll help me find my mothers killer. And when I find the bastard I’ll serve justice.” Andrea said.
“Easier said then done.” Davis said.
Then Andrea said, “Davis, you don’t want this life. If someone has come to rescue you take their hand.”
Davis sighed looking at Andrea, “Fine. Nothings decided. I’m still weary about this whole ridiculous plan of George’s. But I think I need to find out if this girl really did have an effect on me or if it was something else.”
“Great and I’ll go with you. I’d love to meet the girl who has finally stole your heart.”
Davis hung his head low in defeat he wasn’t even going to try to protest, for all he knew he did love her. Maybe that is what that feeling was in pit of stomach.
Then they went to their house and as they opened the door into the living room Davis stood still staring at the sight of George and Chloe on the couch kissing.
