Will you suffer or survive

The snow that once had fallen is no more. The love that once lasted forever no longer exist. For all we know it’s been a war between ku Chang and lee sung for over 220 years. They went to war that soon ended in an utter defeat. Neither did Chang or sung won the fight. The story says that the warriors fought in Stangers Mountain but soon disappeared and was never seen. By the time the people went to go check out the mountains it was soon discovered that the whole entire mountain was covered with red snow, but none of the bodies was found. When the people came back from the mountains they told that general that there was a strange wind. They said that the wind told them “ Just because you saw it doesn’t mean it happened and for that you will not know but you will feel.” They said that the general played it off till his whole entire team including him got sick and died from an unknown illness. This story has been an urban legend for years. Stranger mountains has now been turned into The Red Snow Mountain and nobody has set foot on the mountain ever since. I looked at the book in my hand and rolled my eyes. “I don’t believe in urban legends or fairytales. There’s no such thing as a happy ending especially with me. With my whole family as a team of assassins we trust our instants not what we read.” I told my best friend Jayla. She looked at me like I was stupid and laughed at me. She said “Hope I don’t know what to do with you.” Even tho I was serious I can’t help but wonder what really happened back in the 1800’s. I couldn’t help but ask myself how come they couldn’t find the body? Not a trace of human remains in sight. My whole life I killed people, I buried people and I cut them up but there was always remains. “Hope? Hope? Are you there? Hope?” Jayla replied but I never answered. She said “I have homework to do I’ll call u later. Have a nice day boo.” And walked out the door not saying any other word. I’m lost in my thoughts wondering what is to come of this world. Sense I was thinking to much I decided to go to sleep. While I was sleeping I heard a faint voice. It kept repeating “Hope get up! Hope get up! Hope run!” And it soon got louder that’s when I suddenly got woke up. I was met face to face with war soldier. I quickly grabbed my sword that was on the side of my bed and placed it up to his neck. When I looked into his eyes it seemed cold. It seemed like he was long gone. I tried to slice his neck up but he drew back into the corner. He stared at me that’s when I saw his eye glow red. He growled at me and charged towards me. I jumped back and jumped off the walls. I took my sword and stabbed him in the place where his heart should be. He was bleeding but he wasn’t dead. I thought to my self in horror “I had a lot of people trying to kill me before. How come he’s different? Why is he not dead I stabbed him in the heart? He should be dead!” He grabbed my sword as threw me and the sword out the window. I was struck by glass in my left eye. I managed to take minimum damage while hitting the ground. The man jumped out the window head first. I moved out the way. His head hit the ground and cracked his skull. I thought it was over so I dropped my guard. The man got back up but he was staggering. At this point I was angry so I used lighten speed to slice his neck then I closed my sword. The man’s body soon dropped to the ground and never moved. “I stabbed him in his heart how did he not die? He cracked open his skull and still was able to move. How in the fucking world was he still able to fight in his condition? How come he ain’t fucking die?” I kept saying to myself. I didn’t go back to sleep that night it was 1hr till I had to go to school. My mom and my dad was out. They left a note on the fridge that said “we’re going on a business trip we’ll be back in three days.” I can’t say I was surprised by what they had said. They always left out the house without warning, but I can’t say it was always like this. When I was little we use to spend time together and we all slept in the same bed. That all soon changed on my 10th birthday but it was to painful I didn’t want to remember it. I grabbed the medical kit, removed the glass from my left eye and patched it up. The glass didn’t hit any major part of my eye so I will be able to see in the about 20 days. On my way walking to school I was lost in thought about this morning. “Who was that guy? Why was he after me? Did my family offend him in some way or his family? What the **** is going on?” I thought. While I was thinking I bumped into somebody. It was a women. She had long red hair and a beautiful figure. She helped me get up. I said “thank you Miss.” She looked at me and said “young lady I’m sorry that I’m being nosy but what happened to your eye?” I put my hand on the patch and said “glass hit it”. She asked me “what’s your name?” Without thinking I told her my name was Hope. She looked at me and smile. Her smile was warm. It looked as if it was like a mother when she first see her baby. She said “well Hope I should be off. I hope your eye get better miss.” As she walked away I couldn’t take my eyes off her. Soon as she disappeared into the crowd I realized I never gotten her name. I stopped looking into the crowd and started back walking to school. Soon as I reached the gate a group of people surrounded me. “I hate crowds.” I mumbled to myself. As I was walking I saw a guy that was brutally beaten up. He was in pain and I couldn’t stand it. This always happens at my school. They always beat up kids for fun and nobody says anything about it including me. I always stay to myself but this even though I don’t know this person I couldn’t stand back and let this happen. He gave off a family type vibe. As he was laying on the floor I walked over there to him. I reached out my hand and said “it’s not good for you to lay on the floor. Do you need help getting up?” He looked at me with a sorrowful smile. His face remained me of somebody but I shrug it off. He said “it’s okay I got it. Thanks for helping me up.” I grabbed his had and pulled him up off the ground. I shrugged my shoulders and said “it’s good. Jus stay safe next time okay.” I said it with a smile on my face. His sorrowful smile turned into a full of joy smile and I was some what happy. After I helped him up to his feet I walked away without him. He called out to me but I ignored him and disappeared into the crowd. I finally gotten to my class and sat down in my seat. The teacher said “rise, bow, sit” I sat down in my seat and gazed at the door. A figure walked in. “It was that boy that was hurt at the front of the school.” I said to myself. The teacher said “Class. This is the new student Takiyama Mesuke. He is from Japan.” The teacher too her eyes off of him and looked towards me. She said “Mr. Mesuke. Please take a seat over there near the window.” Takiyama came up close to me and said “We meet again.” I said “mhm” and looked away from him. When class was over I stayed behind to catch up on my studying. He stayed behind and looked at me in my eyes. He said “Hope? How come you don’t eat with your friends?” I don’t even look at him I kept my nose in my book and said “ I don’t have any friends.” He said “ That’s a bummer you should have a lot of friends. Since you seem cool and all.” I said “mhm” but I still kept my eyes on the book. After I thought about it I realized nobody said my name. I looked up at him and we made eye contact. His eyes looked familiar and I’m not going to lie I scared me a little, but I didn’t let it show. Even though I know he don’t wanna have a smile on his face. I was going to ask him how do he know my name but class started and I didn’t wanna ask anymore. When school was out for the day I was packing up my bags. Tankiyama left his math book. I decided to pick it up and give it to him. I followed him down this alley way. Since it was mid-sunset I wanted to hurry up and get home. I said “ Tankiyama come get your book. You left it in class.” He paused but he didn’t answer. I didn’t move closer because something bout it was sketchy. He swayed back and for the mumbling to him self. I said “Well if you want it it’s on the ground.” He stopped swaying but he kept mumbling to his self. I went home and I decided to cook me some food instead of take out. I guess I was still shocked about what happened today. Two strange things in one day is crazy. I went into the living room and turned on the news. “ Brocasting live.” The news lady said “ I am on Kane street near an ally where a murd scene has taken place. I was told that the bodies was never found but blood was everywhere.” I dropped the television remote in shock. “ I was on Kane street. Don’t tell me. Was it Takiyama?” I said to my self in shock.
