Leaving Michelle and Cody, Brandon stumbled out the screen door collapsing onto the wet grass his mind racing. The slight drizzel of rain soaking thru his long sleaved white shirt that was all ready clinging on him tightly conforming to his chizzeled features. The shirt going see-through exposing his wings on his back burning as memories flowed through his mind, the first memory that came to him was the shattering of glass and the sensation of falling, then the sudden stop as the ground embraced him. The second was of bright light and voices surrounding him.

The third was of the pain and shock of waking with tubes down his throat needles piercing him.



Coming to from a dream like state where pain and fear were non existant was like being shaken by a great white shark. As Brandon lay there arms straight out the wings still burning. The

un-filled feathers of his tattoo erupting in pain. Tearing of his shirt Brandon stood up only collapse to his knees holding the fence to keep him up right. Michelle screamin wildy ran with Cody up the stairs to whereJohnny was just stumbling out the door of his room running towards the sounds of Brandon and Michelle’s screams.



Heading out the back-door Johnny see's his brother's back as each feather in his wings turns

black one by one on the left wing while the right side remained white as snow.

seeing this happen made Johnny lose what was in his stomache.

Bella sensing her master was hurt or in danger started growling low and menacingly keeping everyone away Michelle standing a few meters back looks on in horror as Brandon's eyes changed from the earthy brown to dark red, to midnight black and then finally ice blue the same shade as Bella's. The beard Brandon had grown and shapped gone his face left smooth as the day he was born.



As the memories wash over him the screams of pain grow more intense then seeming to stop Brandon cautiously re- opens his eyes. There between him and his family was an angel with his face a black wing and a white wing spread out to shelter him.

"Greetings mine brother" said the angel "The pain you felt will leave but untill you pay your debt to those whom helped you and gave you life again I have bad news for you my kindred, untill your calling is finished you may not be with your loved ones.” “Your son will still know you but only for a day at a time I’m sorry to tell you this but you place them in danger if your nearer to them limit thy contact and stay safe mine brother.” “There is more I have to say but will make it less of a burden but speaking to your mind it will make it easier on you and will mean

less damage to your mind as this form of speech is hurting you"



With out a glance the angel walked to Brandon and made him stand up, slowly like a patch of dry soil Brandon’s body drew in the angel taking him inside him in the blink of an eye he was there inside Brandons head two entities in one shell. Then all was peaceful Bradon was himself apart from his eyes.



Falling deep into sleep Brandon felt at peace!

Restraining himsellf from punching Johnny, Brandon walked up with his bag in hand and kissed Tracie on the cheek. "Hey sis how are you?" he asked as she smiled at him "I’ll be better when you have a shower and shave you ugly redneck”!

Now go in and get some sleep the kids will be waking you up about half seven when they wake up" she replied jokingly. "Yes Ma’am" Brandon replied "Oh where is Michelle sleeping?” Don’t want to wake her up is all" he added. Tracie just smiled "Your in the downstairs room she is up stairs in the spare room with the kids and she knows you’re here so you cant run away from her this time with out upsetting her, now take your son and get inside out the cold "

Taking his son gently as he could without waking him Brandon went inside.

Johnny following up behind kissed his wife and baby girl on the forhead "I wont be long babe just got Bella to put away if she doesnt bite my arm of that is"





Brandon just smiled as he came back out with his black drizabone on "I got her Johnny she don’t like you remember" he said sarcastically as he walked around the ute to untie Bella leading her out the back he let her go and closed the gate. No need to tie her up as he knew she wouldn’t wander. Heading back out he front he lit up a smoke as Johnny handed him a beer "Sorry Bra but its been too long since you and Michelle spoke, Cody's starting to ask about you

and she is at her whits end trying to answer the questions he has, but has no answers for him it was my idea so don’t get angry at her ok please Bra!". Johnny said then took a swig of beer.



"Man he is getting big and looks more like his mother than he does me " Brandon said before downing his beer. "How did you know I would be in town let alone where I would be any way?"

"And dont tell me it was luck I want the truth!"

Johnny just looked at him "I was at the cemetary to pay my respects to Tash Bra, saw the flower's and knew you wouldn’t want to drive after being there so I rang around all the van parks and servos to see if you had been there or booked in"



Brandon just smiled shaking his head "Its late Johnny lets head to bed, talk in the morning okay and yeah before you ask I’ll be here donit want Tracie pissed at me again" he said laughing as he walked in the house and to his room.



Michelle woke up around six in the morning after a fitfull nights sleep seeing cody laying under a

big black jacket on the bean bag next to the bed knowing who's it was and that he was there still. As she quietly got out of bed pulling her long curly brown hair back out of her face she walked out the door and crept down stairs to where Brandon was sitting with two cups of coffee, waiting for her. She smiled at the fact he still had not learnt she liked tea not coffee "Hello stranger" she said softly "And where the hell have you been for the last four years?"

A hint of venom in her voice. Brandon winced at this but was expecting it so shrugged and smiled "Hey Michelle have you been getting the money I’ve been sending?" he asked softly

"And as to where I’ve been that’s not a topic to discuss at the moment but what I would like to know is how in the hell you could keep that i had a son from me all this time not even my Mother told me and I guess it was at your request" he added with a hint of anger more than noticeable in his voice.



A tremer went down Michelles spine at hearing that in his voice, the once soft spoken gentle person she fell in love with no longer visable except in the eyes"Yes I have been getting the money but if you didnt know that you were a father why send it ?" She asks softly afraid to get any closer" Just because I didn’t tell you didn’t mean that I didn’t want to babe

its not easy on me I have had to get DNA testing done for your mother for crying out loud"

Brandon just smiled "And the result?” I presume with Johnny having you here that Cody is

mine?” “And just how old is he by the way?”

As Brandon stands up the rain dripa from his shoulders, all the scars from when his life fell away like dust being wipped from a shelf. He faces towards Bella "Down baby be at peace" as she stops growling and lays down. He scratches her behind the ear he walks toward michelle "By grace of god and fortune true you hold my heart you know this true, be not afraid for I am he, I need must part from thee." Cupping her face in his hands he turns and kisses her softly on her lips pulling back. Know that we will see each other ever more, my child will be cared for

too that I will see, but for now at present there can be no you and me I have someone to protect. I know not why nor how far I go, but every day without you will pass ever so slow. Now I must make hast and leave you here, evil is all to near. Cody is your angel as am I, we are but one again for a time, till the evil passes and all remains still know what I passed to you is for real. This is no illusion my calling has come and now I must find the cause.

Shed not a tear for I am all ways near, look in your heart and see it is true you always have my love for you.”



Letting his hand slide from her face Brandon fall's to the ground on his knees opening his eyes to see Michelle kneeling in front of him. Seeing the look in her eyes wondering why he is wet

"What the hell happened?”

He asks wondering why he is outside when all remembers was the coffee he was drinking at the table?

Waking up in a cold sweat Brandon rolls over and looks at Bella growling towards

the door getting the sword from beside the bed he stands like a shadow himself and creeps over to the window peering outside he see's a shadow fall over the deck as someone tries the door.

Standing still in the shadows he waits as the man walks in. Brandon flicks the light switch on and stands infront of the door. The stranger starteld buy the bright lights spins and faces Brandon staring from the sword to Brandon’s cold hard eyes. Swallowing hard "Shit Bra, scare a guy to death why dont ya" says the stranger. Brandon just shakes his head looking at the 6 foot 5 inch block head standing there with sweat trickeling down his face a smile on his lips as he puts the sword down "Johnny what the hell you think your doing sneaking in here like that?"

Johnny just shrugged his shoulders and smiles "Etta you know me" he says sitting on the spare bed getting a growl from bella.



Brandon sits there looking at his half brother thinking of what to say when Johnny asks "Man

B-Dog why the hell you never call any more?” “Its been six months since you last logged on to check your email for christ sake what the hell do you think your doin to mum and dad let alone michelle?"



Brandon just shakes his head Man I’m trying to find what it is I need to keep what happened to Jo from happening again. “Its taking longer to find what I need you know"

Johnny just frowns and shakes his head and grabs a smoke out of his jacket pocket and starts looking for a lighter. Brandon stands up and walks out the door to sit on the steps as Johnny walks out and sits beside him. They both light a smoke as the American back packers walk past talking about Brandons car wondering if its for sale or if he would sell it.

Johnny sick of the silence asks the same thing to Brandon.

Brandon shrugs "Don’t know the motors just about dead so yeah might sell it and get a new car or ute but i dont know its the car I got after Evea split you know so its kinda worth alot in memories and its been my home for the last three years”. “So its hard for me to think about selling it you know" Johnny just looks and nods not sure what to say Bella slowy pads out the door and rests her head on Brandons lap giving Johnny another growl.

"Damm your dog dont like me Bra what give ?" Johnny asks.

Brandon just smiles "She just dont like people showing up and waking her up is all

specially not ones that smell of kids" laughing he stands up and walks back in and grabs a couple of beers out of the fridge. Walking back out he hands one to Johnny “How are Shaun and Luke any way, what they would be like four now?" Johnny laughs saying "Nah bra, their eight now and just like us full of trouble and bad manners and giving their little sister hell". "Speaking of which you better pack up and come with me you know how Tracie gets if I’m out to late and she wants you there for breakfast seeing as how its the twins birthday tomorrow and all"

Bradon just shakes his head "Of all the things I’m afraid of Tracie is one them let me repack the bag then Bra"



As Brandon is packing he looks at the time and see’s its eleven past eleven on the eleventh of November four years since he got his car laughing to himself he grabs up the keys and put Bellas leash on. As Brandon walkes out he see’s the yanks looking at his car he smiles as he walks over to Johnny’s hilux and puts Bella in the tray and ties her up getting a strange look from Johhny as he did. "Huh why you putting your shit and your dog in my ute for bra?"

Brandon just smiled at Johnny and walks over to the backpackers.

"Hey fella's how much you willing to lay down on the Mally ?" Brandon asks

They looked at him and say "We got six grand here and another four or five hundred coming chief hows that sound?"



Brandon just smiles "Give us five grand and its yours but it needs a clean out and new engine or a rebuild at least". The two guys just look "Sweet as Chief" the tall blonde one says "I can rebuild it before we head north to Rocky"

Brandon just smiles as he takes the cash and makes out a recipt for the car handing it over

"Take care of the old girl for me hey she has seen a fair bit of action give her the TLC she needs”. Bradon said as walked over to Johnny. Th e guys sing out just as Johnny is pulling out" Yo Chief you forgot your girls purse" as the shorter one runs over and hands it to Brandon.



As they drive over the gateway bridge in Brisbane Brandons phone goes off the sounds of bush comedown shaking him out his stupor "Hello, this is Brandon here whats up" he answers

"Hi, its Eliza, sorry for calling so late I just got your message on my machine hope I didnt wake you up?”. "Nah " Brandon replied "My Brother did that all ready hon, is this about your purse?"

"Yeah if you would like I can pick it up from you tomorrow after work?" Eliza asks.

"For sure " Brandon said "Going to be in victoria point tomorrow so I will meet you at the train

staion in the city if you want?"



Johnny listening in smiles as the conversation kept on. "Well will see you after six tomorrow" Brandon said at last hanging up he punched Johnny lightly in the arm "What you laughing at you big girl?" he asked

Johnny pulled up at the lights just smiled "Good to hear you got a date is all Bra" he said.

Brandon shakes his head "Not a date Bra just returning her purse to her she left it in the car at the cemetary is all.”



She was kinda creeped out about something and I had that bad vibe I get when someone close buy is in trouble so I drove her to the gates and dropped her off at the bus stop".

The light changed and they headed up old clevland road to Johnny’s house at half past twelve they pulled in to see Tracie standing at the door a baby in her arm and Brandon’s son asleep

on the other arm. Brandon just looks at Johnny and frowns “Why didnt you tell me she would be here Johnny" he asked.

"Bra if I had said your ex was here would you have come?" Johnny replied as he killed the ute and wound up his window.

Chapter One *RIP Natasha Johanson*

Times Read: 618








A man stands alone on the hill, tears in his eyes as he lays the flowers upon his daughters grave.

His car idiling in the distance, with a heavy heart he sits alone in the rain talking with his daughter's head stone. Over and over he says he is sorry, knowing its not his fault but still feels responsible. He remembers the way the sun caught her hair and the way her smile lit up the room.



The memories of his daughter have been with him for over ten years, yet the burden is as heavy today as it was the night she died. He cries harder knowing that she died alone all those years ago. the freak accident that took her life was no ones fault. The thought he could of have done something anything burns him up inside. His arms bear a cross for each year she has been gone, his constant reminder of the pain the devil brought him.



Slowly he heads back down to his car his resolve and heart burning, he heads back to the present shaking his head. As he walks not noticing the wings in his shadow. On the way to his car passes a young woman crying for her lover who lay in the ground, burried the day before. She looks up as he pulls out his umbrella from his car and opens it sheltering her from the rain. Her eye's take in his feautures noticing the tattoo's upon his hands, the mowhawk, the dark circles under his eye's. Thinking he is as fearsome as he appears, she cowers away from him.He leans down and hands her the umbrella and stands his back to her as he goes to walk off, she stands and says thank-you and looks into his eyes, she tries to smile but is hurting to much. He nods not saying a word he removes himself from her suffering and walks back to his car.



Reopening the door he stands and removes his shirt and jacket not wanting to ruin his seat he lays them on the bonnet and goes to open the boot. The Woman approches him

asking if he would drive her to front gate of the cemetery he smiles and nods she offers her hand as she introduces herself " My name is Eliza " she says " Thank-you for the kindness you showed me it is the first act of compassion anyone has shown me for a while a tear leaks down her cheek. He takes her hand and shakes it light but firm "It is nothing" he says "I’m Brandon by the way".



He opens the boot and grabs a fresh shirt out of his suitcase and sits behind the wheel of the car Eliza sitting beside him. He quickly covers his bare chest and arms with the long sleved white shirt perhaps a size too small for him. As Brandon drives to the gate Eliza asks him " Did I see you up on the hill at that lone head stone”? Not wishing to speak he just nods and pulls up just out side at the bus stop so this young lady has some form of shelter.



As she opens the door she looks at Brandon and hands him a number written on a card.

"I would like to repay your kindness to me buy way of a free meal" she says. "Its not much but my shop is close by however we are closed today come buy tomorrow and i will repay you".

Taken aback by this Brandon shakes his head "There is no need to repay me all I did was try and keep you from becoming sick is all". He hands back the card and she closes the door.



Eliza stands watching as he drives off thinking that there was something strange in the way he spoke his accent not wholey Australian yet could not place where it was from shaking her self back to reality as the bus pulls in she boards the bus unaware of he strange man standing at the gate watching her. As the bus pulls out he steps into the shadow's and vanishes.



As Brandon is driving away he looks in the rearview mirror and smiles as he sees her board the bus and dissapear out of his life. The pain he feels is still there so he heads to the closest highway and turns toward the rising sun, his music thumping out. He looks out the window to see a truck over take him and backs off the excelarator and lets him go as he turns of onto the side of the road and a truck bay. Getting out of the car he heads to the picnic table to have a smoke realising he left his zippo, a present from his daughters mother, in the car he walks back and opens the passenger door and notices that Eliza had left her purse onthe seat "fucking hell" he says under his breath as he grabs his zippo and head's back to the table closing the door behind him, his husky sitting at the window with her head cocked to oneside that pleading look on her face that he cant resist.



He smiles crookedly as he walks back lighting his smoke

and grabs her lead and lets her out patting her head and scratching her ears as she lolls her tounge out in a doggy smile. "What you think bella”? “Take back the purse before we leave today or stay another night and take it back in the morning". Bella just turned her head and gave a single bark and Brandon just laughs. "Ok bella will take it back now and still stay till we can get the airconditioning fixed then huh” Scrathing her ear he just smiles as hetakes a drag of his ciggarette and shakes his head thinking he must be loosing it to be talking to his dog like that.



Sitting there finishing his smoke he lets Bella roam around bit and stretch her legs and go the bathroom looking over to his car, the old beat up chevvy malibu with the headlight broken and dents all over, the only place he has called home for the last three years and sighs. He whistles bella and she jumps in and sits pride of place with front paws on the dash in the pasenger seat. Brandon checks his pokets and makes sure his lighter is there. He sits down and starts the car, the engine coughing to life, and does a u-turn and heads back towards the bus stop. Realising he doesnt have eliza's card any more he pulls up and opens her purse taking out her drivers licence and writes her address on his note pad.



Thinking how he would feel if a stranger just rocked up at his place un-invited Brandon calls up and gets her mobile number and calls her, getting no answer.

Leaving his name and number he heads to the closest service station and pulls in getting a drink

and asking for directions to a camping ground, putting on his english accent and keeping his head down a bit to hide his eyes, the clerk draws him up a map and says they allow pets and have a cabin or three there if he would prefere a bed to sleeping in a tent. Brandon just smiles

“Yeah that would be great thanks, keep the change". As he hands over a ten dollar

note for the coke and the cup of hot stuff supposed to be coffee , and walks back out to his car amid the pouring rain.



Getting back in he starts the car and drives to park and hands over 100 dollars for the cabin

and says it may be three or four nights he will be staying not sure if he will be here that long

Getting his gear out of the boot he see's the shadows behind him and turns his head slightly, hand resting on the sword hilt, and sees a group of American back packers admiring his car he smiles and walks up and opens the door setting the bags down he goes down and locks the car up heading in for a sleep even though its only 2:30 pm in the afternoon.
