Just because the real son got the cool stuff doesn't mean you should be sad. Your only from half of this family." Dev didn't know what that meant. He just looked different from his brother that's ok. He didn't have his brother's 'Lawrence of Arabia" blond her and his light complextion or his physical strength. Dad was dad right? Why did everyone keep refering to him as a mutt and giving him the short straw in everything? "Why daddy? Why just half, aren't you my dad?" "I'm not your daddy, you SOB!" Bruce snarled at the little boy alone. "I'm Art's daddy, that's why he is going to be the best trained pokemon trainer ever, just like his old man. That's why he gets to get a pokemon and you don't!" The big man slapped Dev across the face. "Oh don't cry for you mommy... DON'T CRY DAMNIT!" Dev felt his get slapped again. Harder this time. "I'll give you something to cry about boy." He felt himself getting kicked in places his mom wouldn't see. She wouldn't see the bruises, she wouldn't know about them. The family would go on. Dev stood at the door 6 years later. He'd finally left nearly 9 months ago. Those 9 monthes did wonders for him. He just couldn't watch his life be a fraud anymore. His "dad" stopped hitting him when he was 14, because he started getting bigger and faster and smarter. Now he was 15, completely grown. He felt the stubble on the side of his face were bruises once were. He'd started to get better looking then his brother too. Dev had been standing in front of the door for over half an hour. Last times visit had not been pleasent. At least he know Wind was probably laughing it up in town telling them about some of the things he did. Far away from his screwed up brother. He took a deep breath and knocked on the door. TBC! Sorry that was short and not very well. I just felt I had to post some stuff because of my absense lately. -------------------- Queen Bess-0-Rama/Wind Fireblade in the [PW!] "May your life be long and useful, like toliet paper!!!"
