Chapter 278
Leaving Hell
Part 1
Mr. Gregory smiled at me as two of
his men came towards me… Dad and Mr. Vincent were close while Greg and Kirk
worked the ball down the field as our team’s plowed Mr. Striker’s team as they
hit them hard like little empty soda cans as they crunch them beneath their
feet.
Mr. Bronson waited until the last minute as Greg tossed the ball to Kirk inside
the goal line. He gasped as Mr. Gregory held a switchblade in his hands and was
about to stab me with it. Yet found himself right where I wanted him as I
allowed him to capture me. Waiting for him strike with that knife, as my legs
met his chest and my two hands slapped his ears causing him to drop the knife
as I slid between his legs unscathed as he went for the knife, but his ears
were ringing so bad he couldn’t stop his hands from covering them.
Mr. Bronson stepped on the knife as the referee who didn’t see it, accused me
and Mr. Bronson in bring a switchblade onto the field. However, the other two
refs saw the blade in Mr. Gregory’s hand ending the discussion by replaying the
tape so they could see the altercation more carefully, calling an official
timeout, to determine the outcome.
Mr. Striker and Mr. Wesley argued back and forth one stating it was clearly Mr.
Gregory’s knife while Mr. Striker stated it was mine or Mr. Bronson’s knife,
but the replay clearly showed that Mr. Gregory charged at me with the knife in
his hand and lost the knife the moment I popped his ear incapacitating him.
Mr. Gregory was benched and Mr. Striker’s team lost 2 points for
un-sportsmanship like conduct on the field and since Kirk scored we earned or
selves 5 more points. While Mr. Striker’s team lost two of their 5 points down
to 3. If you thought Mr. Striker was mad before, he was madder then he was so
far today seeing our 10 points on the board vs. his 3, plus one of his best
team players was confined to the bench until the first quarter was over, with
less then 10 minutes on the clock to go. Knowing a lot can happen in 10
minutes.
Mr. Gregory was seen by a doctor telling Mr. Striker that he wouldn’t be able
to play with his eardrums damaged. Mr. Granger said. “If he can walk he can
play.” Mr. Wesley gave me a secret high five as I came in behind him grabbing a
quick drink. Asking me if I could still play; I nodded I could swallow the
water in one quick gulp, in fact, I said. “One down 6 more to go,” watching the
team doctor wraps a large bandage over Mr. Gregory’s ears; so he could at least
use his hands.
Mr. Striker was beyond pissed more so because he could not add any more players
to his team since Mr. Granger had forbidden Mr. Gregory to leave the game and
placed on the injured list. If he could have he would got onto the field
himself, but since he was the only coach the playbook forbid it and Mr. Granger
had refused Mr. Gregory to step in as coach.
None of us could have more than 12 players total and the bulk of those players
had to be men or boys. There weren’t enough older boys they wanted or should I
say Mr. Striker wanted since all we were good for was making scores, not as
grants. Mr. Wesley and Mr. Bronson choose and paid and bribed for the cream of
the crop, using the information that they had gathered from our friends and my
Dad that knew us.
This time Mr. Striker traded out Eli for Chad
filling field players with 7 men grunts charging them too make sure that Chad
got the ball and hurt us so we too lost a player. However, Mr. Striker didn’t
know anything about Dad and Mr. Vincent or Bishop Earl for that matter. He
might have even thought Dad was just a one trick pony after what had happened
earlier. Yet the one he and everyone did was underestimated was me unless they
really knew me. Mr. Striker said I got off lucky, but know its time to really
play the game.
I stuck tongue out at him and flipped him off then turned my bare butt around
and slapped it in his direction. Taunting him to come and get me. The field was
now more dangerous noticing the showers hadn’t turned off as there was barely a
dry spot left. The moment we took the field the shower of chocolate switched
places as clear water came out of the ones that had been showering liquid
chocolate. I didn’t care; in fact, none of us cared considering we were covered
in it.
Again there was a coin toss, and again we gained the ball. Mr. Striker was
really getting concerned asking to see the coin as he flipped it several times
himself getting different sides of the coin.
Jeff smiled at him as he leaned over Mr. Striker blowing in his ear and
whispering, I watched as he shook himself as if the air had turned cold which
it hadn’t been as to how hot the containers were burning in the room and the
two fireplaces and looked over his shoulders finding no one there.
This time they went after Dad and Dad we were done waiting, as he charged right at
the man that was coming after him. Hearing aloud bone muscle crunch as Dad
picked up the guy and body like paper and slammed him down on the ground as his
elbow came down hard breaking several ribs.
I cringed as Dad got up dusted himself off and went after the next guy plowing
into his left side and flipped him over his shoulder and kept on going after
the next guy. As he and Mr. Vincent tackled the man in body press and beat the
hell out of him as Mark took the ball and ran like crazy as each man was
tackled as Chad stood there watching as his grunts were down on the ground,
cheering Mark as he scored another 5 points bring us to 15 in total.
Mr. Striker looked at Chad
and growled “1 digit and 50 stripes.”
Chad said. “For
what? The rules forbid me from going after the ball. It’s the grunts job to
tackle the one with the ball and throw it to me so I can score.” Mr. Striker
growled angrily as he quickly went over the rules finding out that he was
right.
With 3 balls in the basket and 30 seconds left on the clock first quarter
ended. The score was 15 too 3 in our favor. Mr. Granger was furious because we
have taken down another player and this time he wasn’t going to be able to walk
not with a fractured leg and three broken ribs courtesy of Dad.
The other player didn’t look much better with a broken arm and three fingers
busted, two black eyes swelling up that he would have a hard time seeing and
several missing teeth. He couldn’t even walk a straight line wrapping his arms
around his sides. Mr. Striker was now down 1 player, if he lost 2 more he was
done.
Mr. Granger and he were in a heated conversation reminding him what will happen
if he doesn’t win, having him yell back. “What hell I am supposed to do
obliterate them to the point they can’t play or stop them from putting points
on the broad?”
All Mr. Granger said was. “Both… you have more men then they do, you have the
cream of the crop of the biggest of the best when it comes to men. You have
never lost game using the same men. Mr. Wesley and his friend Mr. Bronson have
chosen weak players, filling their roster with more boys that are nothing more
than good high school athletes.”
Mr. Wesley smiled said. “Oh wouldn’t call them that, considering Nate did it
all by himself to your man Mr. Gregory and he was the one holding the knife and
looked how that turned out. My money’s on us winning the purse. Care to bet by
how much?” The crowd was cheering and ranting some called us cheaters, only
making me wanting to prove them wrong. Mr. Wesley asked Coach Brady if I was
done, causing him to kill over laughing and whispered something in his ear.
Coach smiled and nodded giving him play out of his own playbook.
Mr. Gregory, however, was tasked to do whatever it took to bring me down or he
would be the laughing stock for many years to come if a mere boy like me bested
him, providing he lived that long. Coach asked me if I had warmed up enough,
that he wanted me to show Mr. Wesley some of my special moves. Like the two
rounded knife kick, we called the fairy ice princess move. Thing is even though
the name sounded girly it was anything but.
I lathered my self up really good and made sure I had lots of grease easing
through my toes as I stretched a bit. It had been a long time since I had done
that move, and I needed room to do it. It was our 4 grunts job to give me the
room I needed. We called it around the barn and back. Greg and Kirk were going
to work the ball and pass it to me getting everyone’s attention on me. While
Kirk sneaks through enemy territory and scores us the point, but he was told
miss the hole; wanting them to take their eyes off me and on him; thinking that
we had just made a critical error.
Again we won the coin toss, for the 4 times in a row, causing the referee to
check the coin finding nothing wrong with it, but Mr. Striker and Mr. Granger
demand that coin be retired. Pulling out one of his own. Jeff faked a yawn as
he manipulated the coin to come down in our favor. Mr. Granger gasped and
looked at Mr. Striker and then Mr. Wesley. Neither of them had a clue what was
going on.
Jeff then returned to his duties working with Tony as he sent men to carefully
extract eligible pledge boys or girls from the room, by simply tranqing the
ones that had them as if they had fallen asleep where Jeff was able to possess
them long enough to hand them over to one of our guys as they sold them to them
without so much as a second thought then walked way in a daze to some location
within the building, and fall asleep until long after the celebration was over
where they would be dealt with accordingly.
Like I said we could save the children here in the house and the ones here in Heber
City Utah. But we couldn’t save
them all them across the globe where the satanic church was the strongest. However,
it was up to their own tasks force to gather the ones they can reach. But the
world was too vast to save them all and it bothered all of us knowing that some
boy or some girl was going to be killed to tonight, as their parents offer them
up as a sacrifice for gold, power of some sort.
I was realest I knew people died every day even children, but what bothered me
the most was some children didn’t have to die because their parents wanted
something so badly that they would kill their own flesh and blood that they
nurtured and loved all for a Demon God that doesn’t care about them as they
sell their very souls to them.
My father was a cruel heartless man, but even he wouldn’t sacrifice his two
daughters for any amount of money, but he would do it for me or my brother in
heartbeat, even though he didn’t believe in their Demon God. He would kill us
for the simple reason he hated us, and wanted us gone, no matter what it took.
If someone wanted to sacrifices us to some Demon God, he let them, in fact, he
watch or even help if necessary. I had lost count on how many times he and my
mother had tried to kill me growing up and neither of them was devil worshipers
or drug addicts looking for a fix. Nor angry drunks; they were just cruel
everyday parents; who felt that Aaron and I didn’t have the right to breathe
the same air as everyone else.
Why that was, I do not know, they never told me other than the fact they hated
us. It wasn’t until recently my mother changed her tune had decided that she
actually wanted us in her life. Mostly I think it was because of our family and
her friends had something she didn’t have… which was a complete loving family.
Sad to say she never got that. Not with my father or my two sisters always
making it difficult because neither of them wanted any part of that kind of
life and after 25 or so years that hasn’t changed, even after my mother had
passed away.
My two sisters and my father hate me and Aaron as much as they ever did. More
so me, Aaron they use because they know he will do anything for them hoping
still to please my father and my two sisters. Actually, It is more Susan other
than Becky since Susan won by kicking her to the curb so she could be the only
child, even still I haven’t seen or talked to Becky in over 20 so years.
I returned to my focus on the game as Mr. Wesley and Coach Brady worked out the
play that would hopefully cripple Mr. Striker’s team even more. If we scored
fine, if we didn’t that was fine too considering we were head by 12 points; we
quickly took the field having Dad ask me if I was ready to do this; gave him
low five and took my positions.
Mr. Striker had just been yelling at Mr. Gregory because he was hard of hearing
after what I had done to him and with the bandages over his ears to help him with
the ringing in his ears. Mr. Striker looked at me dragging his finger across
his throat I stuck my tongue out at him and waited for the ball.
Mr. Vincent snapped the ball and threw it in my direction and I caught half
hazard like because my fingers were slick with grease. It didn’t help walking
right under a shower of liquid chocolate. Everyone moved out my way as Kirk and
I tossed the ball back and forth then to Greg and back to me as Mr. Gregory
came right at me. I everyone gave him the room and then closed the gate behind
him and went back to take care of Mr. Strikers grunts.
I tossed the ball to Kirk as everyone eyes were on me and Mr. Gregory knowing
there was bad blood between us. I reached my mark and prepared myself. Allowing
him to reach me noticing in his hands he had spiked fingers that had been add
to the brass knuckles, he said. “You’re going down and you’re not getting back
up. My life is more important than yours boy.” Noting how open I was laughing
because no one was coming to save me as he watched from the corner of his eyes
that all my grunts were protecting the other two boys all the way to the goal
line.
I faked a soft yawn and letting him come closer as he swung his right fist at
me, then realized that was exactly what I wanted. As I pulled me around to his
back using the momentum as I began to bend my knees just enough into a half
circle, sweeping his left leg as he began to fall with his right fist and arm
in the air; allowing my hips to cartwheel as letting my feet tap his jaw breaking
more teeth as they were thrown from his mouth as if it was in slow motion.
For me though and him wasn’t a blur of what my body was doing to him as I was
coming down hard, spinning into half kick bring back his arm and pulling it
back as I dislocated his right shoulder hearing that sickening pop as his arm
went limp the wrong way. He screamed and everyone heads turned as I let go did
two back flips and motioned him forward with my fingers. He was in raged as he
came after me. I had learned a long time ago bullies are idiots when they
became angered and Mr. Gregory was no different from them.
I turned around walking slowly back to my side. People shouting at me to turn
around, not realizing that was exactly what I wanted. Feeling him behind me about to wrap his good
arm around my throat, but instead, he grasped nothing but air as I fell to my
knees and punched right into his sternum causing him to lose all the air in his
lungs bending over.
Watching my body land on my hands in finished him off as my legs and feet came
up wrapping around his neck as I brought me up causing my body too slid closer
to his head and using my hand did a quick pop, pop, against his already injured
ears. And head-butted him against his nose re-breaking it as he fell backward with
me on his chest screaming in so much pain, but without as much air in his
lungs. It was more of whispered scream or hissing gasp as blood and tears ran
down his face.
I stood up crossing my feet beneath his head for balance and pulling it as I
fell on his chest. Knocking what air he had left with a body slam, breaking two
ribs, and falling back grabbing his feet as I created an arch, pulling his head
and feet like a stretched rubber band. Then let go of his head rolled back
using the force and landed in between his legs with his feet in the air across
my shoulders bring down my two arms across his knee caps as he legs and muscle
buckled and did the rest by tearing the muscle and fractioning his knee caps.
He was done; his goose was cooked as I got up and walked away. It took four men
on a stretcher to carry him. I walked by Mr. Striker at arm's length and said.
“Next” faked a yawn and walked to our side of the field.
