Chapter 5 - chapter 3

He got to his home room, when Luna let go of his arm.

"where were you both?" a naturally voice asked with a hint of bitterness in his words.

"Sorry teacher, we had some slight inconveniences in the hall."

"I'll excuse both of you this time, don't be late again." he said sharply.

The day went by slowly until finally the bell for the end of school rang dismissing class.

Alex walked outside to his motorcycle, when he his phone beeped indicating he got a text. he took out his phone and saw a text from his uncle which read 'you're in a lot of trouble boy better come home straight after school.'

He got on his motorcycle and started it up kicking it into gear.

About 15 minutes later he arrived home to see his uncle holding a Jack Daniel's in his left hand and a belt in his other.

He got off his motorcycle to his uncle storming right up to him grabbing him by his shirt and throwing him down on the sand.

" WHAT DID I TELL YOU ABOUT MAKING FRIENDS YOU STUPID USELESS ASSHOLE? WOULDN'T WANT ANYONE TO KNOW OUR SECRET WOULD YOU?" He yelled at Alex hitting him repeatedly until Alex took out a switch blade and slashed at his arm causing his uncle to stagger back with pain in his facial expression.

He laughed then said, " you call yourself my uncle, more like a sick bastard who only cares about himself. I'm leaving."

His uncle sneers ," yeah where are you going to go and what are you going to eat?"

"I really do not care at this point, I have had enough of your shit and should you ever try to hit me again or even contact me I will kill you."

Alex turned around and headed to his bike got on and sped off.

He decided on heading to the state park lands on where he would camp for the night until he could go to bank to withdraw money for a small apartment he could rent for the time being.

As he drove he he heard howling in the distance. He decided it would be best to get something to eat. He saw a diner on the right so he parked his bike in the parking lot leaving it running.

"Good evening,young man," a older lader said greeting him giving him a knowing look as she saw cuts and bruises on him.

"Do you have any recommendations or house specials today?"

She smiled giving off an aura of warmth.

"we have a grilled cheese sandwich and a bowl of chicken and mushroom soup" on the house for you."

"I'll take that." he replied.

The old lady went back into the kitchen as two really well-built men and a fierce looking woman entered the diner giving off a menacing aura and they all locked eyes for a second with Alex.

For a good minute he felt like he was prey causing his instincts to tell his body to run as far away as possible.
