I kept walking and walking, it became darker and darker, especially when it was winter. Under a street lamp I could see a shadowy figure, could it be my brother? I kept walking faster and faster towards the figure.
"DANIA-" I shouted but got cut off.
"SHUT UP!!" he shouted back with anger.
I kept walking but got confused. He grabbed me by my arm and pulled me closer to him.
"Do not EVER shout my name in public.. EVER!" he mumbled and looked into my eyes.
He opened his big coat and looked at me.
"Get in" he said.
"W-What?" I asked.
He grabbed me by my arm and pulled me inside his coat and zipped it up again.
"Don't ask questions, keep walking until and follow what I say" he said.
"B-But why" I said.
"So ya don't get killed! People want me killed badly, I don't want them to kill you.." he mumbled and started walking.
His legs were kicking me so I was forced into walking at a much higher pace than I'm used to. We kept walking for what felt like tens of minutes!
"Alright boy, we're here!" he said and zipped down the coat.
We were inside some kind of building, it was a big building, with lights, different rooms and several people around us.
"Now, I got you, now you're here to tell me what exactly happened!" he said with a big grin on his face.
I kept looking around looking at all the different people. I felt kind of.. Scared!
"ANSWER ME!" he shouted.
I looked back at Danial and I started sweating.
"D-Dad h-he.." I stuttered and stopped.
He kept looking at me with the same grin. I swallowed down and opened my mouth again.
"He killed mom and s-sister.." I said with a sad tone and looked down at the ground.
It was quiet for a couple of seconds, no movement or talking at all.
"W-What..?" Danial asked.
I looked up again and opened my mouth.
"WHAT DID YOU SAY?!" he shouted and stood up from the chair he was sitting on.
His eyes changed, from a stable and serious look to a confused and almost scared one. He grabbed me by both of my shoulders and shook me once.
"WHAT HAPPENED?! WHAT DID HE SAY?!" he kept shouting.
"H-he..-" I said and got cut off.
"TALK FASTER!" he cut me off while still shaking me.
"He kept talking about a guy called S-Seth.. A lord and saviour.." I said with a confused tone.
I looked back up at my brother, he looked more serious than ever.
"Who the hell is Seth.." he said.
"I-I don't know!" I responded.
He grabbed me by my arm and pushed me away, I almost lost balance and fell.
"Ludwig.." he said.
I looked around, everyone was looking at us.
"Whether you like it or not.." he continued.
"W-What..?" I asked.
"Our life mission for now, is to find Dad.. and to find out about this Seth guy!" he said and turned towards me.
"B-but.." I said before I got cut off.
"NO BUTS!!" he shouted back.
He took heavy steps towards me and got really close to my face.
"Do whatever you like, school? Friends? But most important is our family, our blood! OUR BLOOD!" he shouted directly at my face.
The life I started with living with my brother was rather different, and wild. The place we were at was his base was a construction building in a junkyard, and soon after I found out that the feared gang everyone was worried about, "The Steels", were his gang after all, with him being the leader. He got me my own study room, and I always spent time there studying.
My whole life plan is to become an academic, to study all my life. It has always been to my interest, but the dark turn that my dad chose made my life turn upside down. Each year in this place changed me slowly but surely. Soon I was becoming 11, 12, 13 and older!
*7 years later (4 years from present time)*
I am a seventeen year old, I'm just about to graduate from my academics, or so was the plan. It's been a couple of months since my brother hasn't paid for my school, the confrontations and shouting never helped, and so I was forced to stop studying. I have been asked and almost forced to help out the gang with fights, but I am not that kind of person.
I would rather hurt myself than hurt someone else. I am a studying person, I am a nerd! I am not someone who should be fighting.
"LUDWIG!! THIS SHIT IS URGENT!" I heard my brother's voice from outside my room.
"When will you give up-" I said before getting cut off.
"IT'S OUR-" he screamed before he got cut off as well.
Why did he stop?! Why does he need me so urgently?! I quickly closed the door to the basement which was connected to my small room and swung open the door and ran outside where my brother's voice was coming from. Outside the building was a fight happening, but how?! Just a couple of minutes ago it was peaceful and quiet!!
I quickly looked around trying to find Danial amongst all the people fighting. He was near the front of the junkyard. I quickly rushed towards him, trying to dodge people trying to hit me. The enemies all had some weird clothing pattern, they all had large black robes, and hoods covering almost their faces.
"DANIAL!" I shouted as I was getting close to him.
"LUDWIG!! BE CAREFUL!!" He shouted back.
I was only looking towards the ground at my brother. Even though we haven't had our best moments nor good times, he still means a lot to me. He's still my family!
"Ludwig.. Long time no see!" a voice said.
I looked up, and it was..
..DAD?!
