• Chapter # 1 (This is only a point of view in one of the real stories I am writing.)
    The Brothers
    A tall man with jet black hair walked through the door of a bar called The Ace. Blue eyes piercing your soul, and his fashion was as he was...dark. A black suit, with stripes that reminded you of the old fashioned prisoners uniform. Black almost everything, the only white were his teeth. His hands in his pockets, nose to the sky. He walked with stubborness, and fingered the hunting knife in his palm, hidden from view. Anyone that saw him could have sworn that they saw some kind of authority in the air he walked, and breathed in. But as you know, most of those people were drunks. There was a smile to his lips, but you couldn't notice it unless you stared at him long enough. Footsteps seemed to echo off his feet in a pattern you couldn't resist.
    "Jaliano Luzue welcome back to the land of the Realist. Now get out."The young man on the stool at the counter called out with the tone of anger. Jaliano ignored him.
    "Ryan. Nice to see you again." Jaliano said as Ryan sat in the stool next to him.
    "You."Ryan said menacingly. Jaliano took a cigeratte packet from his pocket, and lite it. The toxic fumes danced in the air.
    "Tis it is I your employeer."Jaliano said sitting in the stool next to Ryan, after a long breath of fumes.
    "I have a new employeer now, Jaliano...What are you doing here anyway? Dimitri can't stand the site of you...ever since you-"Jaliano put his hands up, stopping Ryan from spilling his secret.
    "I don't know what your talking about,Ryan. All I did was choose my side."
    "Apparently you chose the one Dimitri disapproved of."Ryan said hotly trying to fan the bad air away from himself, Jaliano frowned.
    "What makes you think I care what side he likes or what he disapproves of?"For a moment Ryan was quite. Jiliano waited patiently, his cigarette butt burning red.
    "Please, don't change the topic. Just tell me why your here?"Ryan asked, fustration etched on every feature of his body.
    "I was just going to ask if you've changed your-"It was Ryan who cut Jaliano off by slamming his fist on the table. Everyone starred, but soon enough went back to what they were doing before. Jiliano acted cooly, taking in more of his cancer stick, holding it with his thumb and middle finger.
    "I don't want to follow you or help you in your little groupy war, Jaliano."Ryan said getting up from the stool and walking away. Jiliano put his cigarette out in the nearest ash tray.
    "But, Ryan? Please, it would be what's best for you."Jaliano said with a tendernece that if it was ever told to any one that it was there, he would loose his reputation.
    "Since when did I loose the ablity to chose my own path and know what's best for me?"
    "As your brother, Ryan, take the offer."Jaliano pleaded standing up, his knees fighting against gravity's pull. Wanting to beg.
    "Your not my brother anymore, your not anyone to me. You've lost your both of your brothers. As the world knows it now, you don't have a baby brother or a twin."Ryan yelled, climbing up the stairs again. At the top was Dimitri, he looked down at Jiliano and was ashamed. Dimitri guided the crying Ryan by the small of his back and never looked back. Jiliano toke no notice of the stares from others, he just stood there, eyes looking up. Anyone could of sworn that he left crying, but of course most of those people were drunks.
    Chapter # 2

    The Other Brothers
    "Why were you talking to him?"Dimitri asked Ryan, Ryan only starred at the floor with red,puffy eyes.
    "Because...he just walked in and wouldn't leave."Ryan finally answered. Dimitri sighed, sitting next to his little brother.
    "Ryan, it'll be alright...one day."Dimitri put his face in his hands, elbows balancing on his knees. He wished that that day would happen soon.
    "Are you guys alright?"A girl's vioce asked, it was Ace. She walked in with her arms crossed. Boy, how she makes my heart flutter. She's so pretty, her smile is everything to me. Talking about a girl younger then me...How embarrasing. Dimitri thought, Ryan hit him on the arm. He realized that he was staring, and stood up. Her eyes widdened at Ryan, but decided to dimiss it.
    "Yeah, we're just having a moment. I'll be there in a moment..."Dimitri said, putting his hand on Ryan's shoulder.
    "No, no. There's no need...you can just take the rest of the day off...I'll see you tommorrow."Ace walked out of the room, dropping her hands to her side.
    "It'll never happen, you know who she is."Ryan said, watching Dimitri stare at Ace walk out of the room.
    "Yes, but I'll be here as her guardian, I wont let her get hurt. Never again..."

    There was the shatter of glass. Jiliano looked at his hands, shards of glass stuck into him. Blood dripped to the floor.
    "Jiliano what ever is the matter, dear?"Maria Welden asked her fiance. He just watched the blood drip on the floor.
    "Nothing."She roled her eyes at him.
    "I know your lying, what's happened?"Maria asked again. She just didn't know when enough was enough. He thought, staring at his hand again. He slapped her with his good one, she looked appalled.
    "Stop asking, Maria. It's a...family problem. None of your business."He said angerly, but then he softened."I'm sorry, love. I just lost it for a second."
    "Yeah, well I'm sorry I asked. I'll just be at the bakery to check on our cake."She said leaving him by himself. Ring-ring. His cell phone vibrated from inside his pocket, he toke it out with his bloody hand from instinct. I would just buy a new one later on, after all this Blackberry was already out-dated. Jiliano thought pressing the green button.
    "What?!"Jiliano yelled, not in the mood to be nice.
    "It's me, Boss. Just coming back from the switch, it was a success."Roland Demovio, one of the best of the best.
    "Yes, well don't bring it directly to me today. It ain't my day today, and you know how that works."
    "Yeah, just put it up for now. I got you. But you'll be alright for tommorrows meeting right?"
    "Yes, Roland. Wouldn't miss it for the world."
    "Bye, Boss."
    "Just hang up the phone,Roland."
    "Yeah, yeah. Sure thing, Boss."Jiliano threw the phone across the room. He sat in his favorite leather chair, rocked back and forth. Father would be ashamed, mother would be ashamed, that I can't take car of my brothers...When I could provide well enough for them, but they simply don't want it that way. Jiliano by now was in the fetal position, crying. I don't have brothers, that's what they told me...that they don't want to be my brothers anymore...But I will take care of them...I'll try for father and mother. Jiliano started to pull out the glass, making himself bleed more. It was less painful then knowing that some one was about to kill your brothers for being mortal hearted...At least I could try to protect them. Jiliano thought, standing up to get his first aid kit. Wrapping a large bandage around his hand. He sat back down, moving the couch so he could watch the door. Just then Roland walked in, Jiliano just didn't know why he had such a hard head when it came to orders.
    "Boss!"Roland yelled, and saw him emmidiately.
    "What is it, Roland?"Jiliano asked, fingertips on his temples.
    "You look like you were crying..."Jiliano gave him a deathly glare as he approched him, so Roland decided to stop asking. "Uh there was this shooting at Romeo's Place, The Ranft Brothers did it."
    "Is Romeo okay?"Jiliano asked, scared for his friend.
    "His wife ain't."Jiliano punched the wall.
    "God, not again. This is the 3rd drive by this week, Roland. It's time that The Other Brothers even out the numbers."Jiliano said, going over to his bookshelve. He looked for a book, and opened one up. It was hallow, and inside was a key. To be exact the key to his closet full of guns. He unlocked the door and pulled out a gun.
    "So, were going to-"
    "Yes, Roland."
    "Oh."Roland pulled out a gun from under his jacket.

    "Now in the news there are reports of a territorial war between The Ranft Brothers and The Other Brothers. This is the 3rd drive by this week, it was at a bar called Romeo's Place. The wife of the owner, Flora Yarnado, was killed from a shot to the chest. She was pronounced dead at the hospital. The rival group gave a deadly come back by indeed we think this is all true, so for the sensitive please change the channel...They've broken into the shooters house, killing every person. 2 adults, and 4 children were killed. Including a baby...How horrible..."The news girl began to cry. A man toke her spot.
    "Will this war of The Brothers be over? Or is it just the beginning? More at 11."A young blonde man announced, showing no clear emotion. Jiliano smiled, so they think this is a war? Well. Let's not disappoint them. Jiliano turned off the T.V. using his remote, and set it down. He had his fingertips to fingertips, planning.
