Chapter Two

"My father gave it to me" said Zack quietly as he looked at the setting sun.
"Why?" said Sora.
"Because he was a bitter old drunk" said Zack, Sora could hear the anger in his voice but
could not help but continue his questioning. The thought of a parent doing something so bad
was not something Sora could even begin to imagine.
"So?" Said Sora.
The two started to walk west no words were said between them. Sora thought it seemed like a
very long time then Zach stopped and turned towards Sora.

"He was an evil man." Zachs answer was short and Sora knew their conversation
about the mark was over.
"He did nothing for a our family." Zach turned back towards the west and looked as if he
was searching for something or someone.
Zach continued," So he thought it'd be cool to have a son with an evil mark."

With that said Zach moved like a wolf, out of nowhere five men came out of the bushes.
holding guns, Zach did not seem surprised.
"What's going on?" said Sora wide eyed with fear.
"We are only soldiers", said the shortest with greasy red hair.
"Then why are you holding guns to us?" ask Sora. Zach stood still as if ready to pounce on the
fat greasy man who was probably the leader or just stupid.
"We thought you were aliens" said the strange man.
Sora thought to himself OK the guy is stupid, so who is the leader?
"As you can see we are not aliens." Said Zack
"Come with us now. and dont be slow," said a taller and cleaner man, "its almost night
and "IT" will be back.", his eyes looked brighter
and so Sora thought he is the leader of this strange and dirty crew of men.
"Okay, okay" said Sora as they move to the forest.
Zach still did not speak or look into their eyes.
Sora noticed Zach's hands were buried deep in his pockets.
