Darken Paths, Broken Bonds

The Day The Scar Came Down

~~~~Dream scene~~~

"YOU  TRAITOR!!!" Marshall shouted, swinging his axe.

Chase jumped backwards, missing the swing. "I didn't betray anyone Marshall, you know me," the tan skin boy said, trying to reason.

"SHUT UP YOU FUCKING BITCH!!!" Skye shouted swinging her hand, open palm out in an up-slice angle that Chase couldn't dodge.

"You're done for!" Rocky shouted as he threw a screwdriver straight at Chase.

~~~end of dream~~~

"NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Chase shouted, jumping up and sitting up in bed, panting hard in a cold sweat. Grabbing his phone, Chase check the time. '3:25 am, great....' the boy thought before the room light turned on.

"Dude, you okay?" Blaze asked, a white skin, red hair boy, in only briefs asked as he rushed up to Chase.

"N-nightmare," Chase said softly as he hugged his knees to his chest.

"Want to talk about it?" Blaze ask, as he watch the tan skin boy shake his head softly. "YOu can't just keep it bottle up. It's been 4 years, bro."

"I know," Chase said, as he slowly got out of bed and went up to a mirror to check his reflection.

Blaze sighed as he laid back on Chase's bed with a huff. "Nightmare?" Rosie, a tan skin girl with heterochromia: right eye yellow, left eye blue with dirty blonde hair, in shorts and t-shirt, asked as she entered the room. As Chase nodded, the girl sighed. "You know mom is open for anything, right?"

Chase nodded as he kept his gaze at the mirror. His boxers didn't hide much, as his body had a few scars from nasty cases: surgery to remove bullets, claw marks from wild animals. But the one thing he felt that made him unsafe was the scar over his right eye. Touching the bottom edge of the scar brought back the pain of just a memory alone.

-------------flashback----------

"SHUT UP YOU FUCKING BITCH!!!!" Skye, a blonde hair tan-ish skin girl, shouted as she clawed Chase's face, right over his right eye. The scream the tan skin boy made made everyone freeze, even a gang fight when they heard and saw what Skye did.

Chase felt to one knee, right hand over his right eye in pain. "W-why Skye?"

"Cause you deserved it, bitch," Skye said as she lifted a hand to smack Chase.

The brown hair, tan skin boy flinch, scared Skye would smack him. But.....the smack never came. "you gone TOO Far," A voice said coldly. Everyone looked to see a large male, dark skin with a grip that could crush Skye's wrist in a firm hold. "You trying to make him go blind?!"

The man let go  of Skye's wrist, making the girl back up in shock. "He leaked information about the team!"

"Whatever, our deal is over," the male said as he grabbed Chase, with a help of one of the gang members to help the brown hair male to his feet. "You broke you're promise, so we are pulling out.....Skylar"

-------------End of Flashback--------------

"It......still hurts...." Chase said softly as Rosie hugged him softly.

"Don't let it hold you back, I mean, you got this birthmark," Rosie said, trying to cheer Chase up.

"Yeah....the same mark Marshall called stupid," Chase said softly, turning his body to see the large size birth mark of a tiger on his back. "He......never liked tigers...."

"Let 'em go bro, you aren't with them anymore," Blaze said as he sat up on Chase's bed. "They don't deserve you."

"Maybe...." Chase said softly.
