Hey hey everybody here's another part of Angels Wings...
You know the routine if you like it hate it what ever write me. It motivates me to put out next time.
Latta and Love Steelo
(??????????)
Finally I had gotten home. The tour was getting to me and all I need now was time off from all the music and spot light. Me and the guys and decided not a whole week of each other and then if we wanted we could chill together again. I was just ready to go home to my nice quiet neighborhood and take a nap. I was a little to pumped to sleep though being home and all.
I was driving from the airport in my car. When I pulled up I noticed the house next door had been bought.
"Oh great." I muttered to my self. "Can you please turn down you music. It disturbing my cats." I imitated this one lady on my street. I got out of my car and went to my trunk for my bags and walked up onto my porch. From there I could see his garages.
"Wow I doubt they're that old." I said out loud. I saw a maroon Navigator with nice ass rims and dark tint. And next to it was a Katanna motor cycle. "Probably their sons."
I brought those bags in the house and headed back to the car for more when someone ran from the other side of the wooden fence and crouched at the corner pumping his water gun. I doubt he even seen me as he was looking the other way.
(Shane)
I finally had Jim on the run and saw him duck behind the neighbors fence.
(?????????????)
I was walking up to him to say hi to my new neighbor when someone else came out and blasted me with a huge super soaker and water balloons.
(Shane)
"Oh crap." "Fuck." The other guy swore.
Damn man the first time I meet my new neighbor and I hit with water balloons and soak him to the bone. His wife is going to kill me.
"I am so sorry, please let me get you a towel." I tried. I ran into the house grabbing a towel and ran back to give it to him.
"I am sooo sorry." I apologized again.
"Hey it's ok shit happens." He laughed a bit drying of with the towel the sun was out nice so he would dry quick.
He had some how wondered to my porch and onto my swinging chair.
"So you live next door? Hi I'm Tony, Tony Valdez." Why did I just say that? Well I guess it would be best if I didn't use my real name yet no need to attract fan just yet.
"Hi I'm Gene, Gene Carter." He was quiet handsome. With his muscular build blonde hair and blue eyes.
"Sweet deal so you live there with your wife or something." I probed a bit. He chucked a bit. "No not married, you." "Me ha, not bloody likely." I laughed. "So you live here all alone?" He asked.
"Not quiet." I whistled a loud one and Amari came bounding from the back. She greeted me and then moved onto Gene. He put out his hand and she sniffed it and put her head in his palm to scratch.
He sat there playing with her making cute faces and everything. She was getting huge still. I think I was feeding her to much.
Gene only stayed a bit longer cause he wanted to get in the shower.
"He seemed nice enough." Jim supplied. "Yeah he seems coo."
We had decide to go into the TV room and play some Street Fighter Ex. Again I splurged and got a huge screen. I mean do you think its bad when the characters are bigger than you?
Anyway as we were playing we decided to order some pizza. I was walking to get the phone when Gene had rung the door bell.
"Hey-hey Gene what's sup?" "Nothing much just thought I would come by and how you were doing."
"Cool come in, I'm ordering pizza."
(Gene)
Thank God he let me in. I was so bored at home with nobody to talk to or anything. I was praying that he wouldn't be sleeping or anything.
I walked in his house and let me tell you it was huge. The Front opened up into a huge hall that had a wide staircase at it's mouth. I followed him down a hall and down three steps into what seemed like a entertainment room. It was Basic black and smoke gray marble floors. It had a pool table bad-ass stereo system . And a computer that had a desk that looked like it totally wrapped around you. I laughed cause he had one of those dancing game where you have to stomp the pads.
Personally I would not be caught in public on one of those. The we walked around the corner and I saw what every man could want. He had every system made with a cabinet that was built into the wall that had pull out shelves for the games. And next to that, uuuuuggg I have to say it before I cream. One of the biggest best definition looking TV that I have ever seen in someone's house.
I saw his friend Jim I had saw earlier and waved at him. Shane threw me a bean bag chair and he called in a couple of pizzas as we started a tournament of `Street Fighter and Marvel Vs. Capcom' In Street Fighter me and Jim were tied leaving Tony in the dust but in Marvel Vs. Capcom with some of the Marvel characters Tony was a beast.
As we were eating Shane had offered me a tour of his house. I saw him as very Naive right then, it wasn't bad but refreshing. He said, "I think we could be good friends and I want you to feel comfortable here.'
He showed me around and I was in total awe. I mean what did this guy do to be able to afford all of this stuff. He even had 4 more bedroom that were un furnished.
"So what do you Tony?" "I am the head of the countries largest computer development companies. And if you don't mind can you call me Shane all my friends do."
"Yeah sure call me Gene. That's what some of my friends call me."
"Sweet, so Gene." Shane stressed on my new name. "What do you do?" "Oh nothing much I just dabble in a little bit of music." "You too?" "Wow I guess we have a little something in common.
Amari had come slow down the stairs whimpering a bit. Shane had patted her head and she tried to lick his hand but it seemed to draw to much energy from her. He picked her up and carried her to his room where he had her Basket near the fire place.
"What's wrong with her?" "I don't know She's been acting funny lately." Shane answered sounding confused.
So Shane Jim and I had spent sometime upstairs' just chatting until she fell asleep.
We all headed back down stairs and played a bit more. Shane was losing with his main characters and I knew something was wrong. He must have still been worried about Amari.
It was getting Late and Jim was heading to bed, I guess Shane was letting him stay here on his visit. Shane walked me to the door.
"Look tomorrow if you want we can take her to the vet ok?" "Huh, are you sure? I mean you don't have to." "It's ok I would love to, I see how much she means to you."
He laughed a bit. "You have no idea someone very special to me gave me to her." But it seem that his naivety that was a small light in his eye had just faded away. I didn't want to pry but may-be one day.
I had went home and got ready for bed. I open my window letting the breeze flow throw and noticed that Shane's balcony was about 20ft away. I could see him in his room Amari had woken up again and he was tending to her. She was panting heavy so Shane open his sliding door and She walked out a laid down.
I felt so bad for both of them. Shane had pulled a blanket from his closet and went outside with Amari and set her on it and held her head in his lap stroking it slightly looking towards the moon.
I went to get into the bed and even thought I had heard it for a minute or two I had ignored it, but I noticed someone was singing. I went to window but I caught the end part of a beautiful song that Shane was singing.
……….far away, long ago , glowing dim as a ember
Things my heart used to know things it urns to remember
And a song someone sings
Once apron a December,,,……….
His voice was sweet and sharp on the night air. He saw that Amari had fallen asleep and just laid down next to her covering them both with the blanket.
I decided to head to bed myself. But that haunting melody was in my head.
The next day came around and Shane and Amari had both moved from the balcony. I went and showered and had a light breakfast and went straight over to his house.
I knocked a couple of times pretty lightly jus incase he was still sleep. As I was about to walk away he opened the door.
"I'm sorry if I woke you I just want to see if everything was ok with you and Amari."
"It-it's ok I was just trying to get her to eat something."
Shane stepped aside and let me in. We walked into the kitchen and Amari was just looking at her food that was barely untouched. Shane kept trying but she wouldn't eat the only thing she would take was milk and water. While Shane was trying that I called the vet. I scheduled a emergency appointment that put us ahead of the line. Shane gather her up and brought her dog food just incase that was the problem.
Going into the vet we sat around the waiting room for what seemed like forever but the doctor walked in and basically walked right back out. With a big smile on his face.
I glad to tell you nothing major is wrong. "But what is it why won't she eat anything and what happened to her energy." Shane seemed like a nervous wreck. I patted him on the back to try and console him.
"I'm sorry doc it's just that he is worried." "Well the problem is that she is pregnant." I would swear that it happened only in movies but Shane passed out.
Still in movie mode in my mind I asked the doc to hold on while I woke up my friend.
"Shane buddy, wake up kid." "Ha ha he Gene how'd you get here." He asked as he reached up and stroked my face. I don't know why but I kinda liked it.
Anyway I got him standing and he looked at the doctor. "How could this have happened." "Well Mr. Valdez there comes a time." I had to chuckle and Shane elbowed me for it. I mean how long about a month or two. But she would be due in 2 more months. She is probably not getting enough protein in her diet I'll prescribe her a special dog food for her breed and the pregnancy.' He said rubbing her behind the ear and feeding her a treat.
(Shane)
I breath a huge sigh of relief when I heard she was ok. But the bigger question was who knocked her up. If anything I bet it was Geo. If what they say is true, and dog takes after it owner then he must have been a horney all over my sweet Amari.
On the way home I decided that I would call and tell Rajin about Amari but maybe after a little nap I don't know why but I was feeling wiped out.
(Gene)
Before we had gotten home Shane was knocked out. I decide to just carry him inside his house and lay him down. I got to the door a realized I didn't have a key. With Shane slung over my shoulder I patted his pocket for them but found none.
I looked at the door a noticed there was no lock. But there should be one I saw a Palm pad. "o what the heck." I placed Shane's palm on the pad and it scanned it, after a series of beeps the door unlocked.
I brought him in and Amari a little bit more active lead the way to his bedroom where she lay in her basket.
I put Shane down on the bed and covered him up a bit caused he looked cold. I smoothed his hair from his eyes and made sure everything was locked up and went back home.
(Narr)
Shane woke up and felt a cold wind blowing through the room. Walking over to the Balcony he closed the glass doors.
He wondered why they were open in the first place. Looking to the bed he saw that Amari was already gone. But the moon was still high in the sky. Glancing over to the clock he saw the clock read 9999 blinking it read 0000.
Shaking his head the clock read 0500. He still felt a breeze blowing through the room. Heading to the bath room he looked to see it a window was open only to find his bathroom was gone.
Pushing further into the room he saw a huge blue egg about the size of a school bus. Wrapped around it was a silver like wire it seemed like it was hanging in the air rotating slowly around the egg.
"Are you ready?" A voice boomed through the chamber. "For what, and what is this thing and who are you?" Shane yelled back looking for someone.
"You know what this is!" The voice accused.
"What do you mean? I haven't seen this before." Shane answered.
"No you haven't………But you do know what it is."
"Look who are you, I don't what this is or what this is about so just leave me alone."
"You claim you know nothing. You claim you don't know who I am, but all you are doing is lying to yourself."
"Well I guess you think you know everything about me?" Shane smirked crossing his arms.
Then walking from behind the egg he saw a figure moving into the light.
"I should, I am you."
Shane stepped back in shock, he looked closer to make sure it wasn't one of his brothers but somehow he knew that he was right it was him.
"But how?" It jus came out like a whisper but was echoed in the chamber walls.
"I am the part of you that you kept hidden away, remember when your first left your brothers cause you knew you were going to change I was here, and when you were with Lance I was pushed back further into your mind, but now there can no more delays, something is coming and we both know it."
"Yes, I do I just don't want to lose the chance." "I know." Shane's mirror image answered. "But there is always a chance for that, as corny as it sound love will concord all."
All Shane could really do was smile.
"So now what?" Shane asked. "Now we must accept the task at hand." Shane and his double walked to the egg and Shane placed his hand on it.
The silver wire that seemed to hang in the air around the egg began to turn to a liquid state and ran down to Shane hand. Shane started to pull away but his double kept his hand still.
"It's ok."
It moved up his arm and on to his back where his tattoo was. In a instant the was a piercing pain on Shane back and a sound of cracking as the egg began to crack. The pain had brought Shane to his knees. When it had finally left him he looked up to see what was inside the egg.
The image press into his mind and in a flash from it's silver eye Shane awoke in his bed.
