I stopped by the flower shop to by a rose. I thought she might like that. I got to the address. I was about to knock when I felt something. Like a pain in my heart. Why do I feel like this? Maybe its because I'm finally getting back with Nicole. Yeah, that's it. I know who I want to be my girl. Maybe I should just look through the side window next to the door.
I saw Nicole at the table in what I suppose is the dining room, she was leaning towards something in front of her. I couldn't she her face, was she whispering to someone? I had to look into the window at the other side of the door to see the whole scene. I saw Nicole........and Pierce. They were kissing.
My heart just died. The rest of me was filled with rage. I slammed on the door and waited impatiently. I heard scrambling of feet, then Rachael opened the door with a nervous look on her face. She started to say something, but I ignored her and walked myself in. I said, "Pierce!" He jumped, and then got up slowly from the table. Nicole did the same. Nicole said, "Now, uh, Gabe. I-I can explain. It was just--I just--the moment, and--" I ignored her. "So you can't beat me in a fight," I began, "so you go and try to steal my girl?" There was silence.
"You know, it's funny," I said, "I thought you were different from your father. But it turns out your a bigger snake than he was!" That made him charge. He tackled me and ran me into the wall. I grabbed the back of his shirt, and threw him out the window and into the backyard. I went after him.
He was just recovering when I slammed my fist into his face. We just punched and kicked at each other, neither one of us even bothering with dodging each other. I could hear Nicole's cries, but I was lost in my own head. I finally did an uppercut with all of my weight behind it. That sent him head over heels.
I grabbed him by his neck and lifted him up in the air. "About time I reunited a family." I said with every word dipped in the acid of bitterness, hate, and every bad emotion I had about him. I heard a scream, and it barely registered. I looked over at Nicole and I saw that she was knocked out in something's arms. It looked at me and gave a smirk.
It said, "You have a choice, kid. Save your home town sweetheart, or save your red-headed girlfriend." I was startled. I dropped Pierce and said, "Hunter? What happened to you?" He had a robotic eye and arm. He was shirtless, and had what looked like jump-suit pants. That's not what I was looking at though. I was looking at the wings on his back. There were four of them. They looked like they were stitched onto him. He had a set of big ones, coming out of his shoulders, and a pair of smaller ones, that were lower on his back; the abdominal area. The big ones stretched out to about eighteen feet in length, the smaller ones stretched to about, four feet each.
He grinned and said, "Its Predator now. And let's just say that I got a few angels looking after me. Meet me at the Lincoln Memorial, in an hour. Don't be late, bird boy."
He flew off and I was left standing there with a downed rival and no hope what-so-ever.
