Family Reunited

Two brothers who'd been separated at birth have found each other after 14 years... But a hidden enemy aims to tear them apart again... Even if it means killing one of the siblings...

## Preface

*January 20th, 2020-*

*14-year-old Aaron Quainer-Brange wandered away from his house, a mansion, into the woods. He was confused when a sad-looking dark blue truck looked up from a ragged wallet. Aaron waved awkwardly, and the truck smiled thinly.*

*The young truck was none other than 14-year-old Allen Quainer-Wader.*

*Allen looked surprised and somewhat scared as the slightly-younger light blue truck was yelled at by a wealthy car.*

*"You know how dangerous the woods are?? There are thieves and... poor people waiting to steal your wealth!"*

*"Uhh, Mom? Barely anyone's here."*

*"This poor person might wish to steal your money!"*

*Allen looked surprised and somewhat frightened at being accused of wanting to steal money.*

*"N-no. I wouldn't steal a-anything, m-miss!"*

## Chapter One- Another Meeting

*March 19th, 2020-*

*Aaron FINALLY escaped the mansion after two months of trying. He caught sight of Allen, who appeared more weak and miserable than he did in January.*

*"Umm, hello."*

*"Hi..."*

*"How are you?"*

*"Hungry... Sad... The usual."*

*"Oh."*

*Allen looked around. "My family... Where are they?"*

*Aaron shrugged.*

*In sad response to Allen's question, a family drove up to him. They looked at him apologetically.*

*"We're sorry, but we're too poor to support you anymore. In other words, say goodbye to all chances of being fed."*

*Allen's green eyes teared up. "But-"*

*"BYE!"*

*He looked down sadly, heartbroken by the loss and being orphaned- Again.*

*Aaron's matching eyes widened at the abandonment of their son. A young female took Allen's key to the house, leaving him without a family or a home. "No, please!"*

*She glared at the truck and left. Aaron was watching in shock. "I hope my family accepts you." He took the sad youth to his house. Aaron's mother glared down at the starving truck.*

*"Peasants like him don't DESERVE a family! Say goodbye to him!"*

*"Please, Mom! His family left him!"*

*"I DON'T FREAKIN' CARE. TAKE HIM AWAY!"*

*Allen broke down in front of her.*

*"Aaron, kill the peasant."*

*"No!"*

*Allen* *cried, knowing his chance of survival would be very low. Aaron's foster mother held out a knife and put the sharp point to his side and Allen cried out in pain. Aaron gasped and pried the knife away from his side and her tire.*

*"GIVE ME BACK THE KNIFE OR THE PEASANT GETS SHOT!" She yelled angrily. She caused minor injury to Allen when Aaron reluctantly handed it back. "GO, PEASANT. I NEVER WANT TO SEE YOUR UGLY FRONT EVER AGAIN! AND IF I DO...." She indicated stabbing and shooting, "You'll be killed."*

## Chapter Two- Finally Fed

*April 28th, 2020-*

*Aaron sped out of the mansion, escaping his foster mother. When he saw Allen, he was shocked. Allen was super-hungry and weak, not having a bite to eat since two weeks ago. His eyes were partially closed and he was on the ground, suffering from malnourishment. Aaron took out a snack he was going to eat and gave it to Allen 'cause he knew his biological brother needed it much more. Allen nodded his thanks and ate the Goldfish crackers. An upper-middle-class car looked at the starving truck. "What is a*n *\**underclass *doing with an upper-class??" Aaron said, "He's my friend... I couldn't let him* die*!" Allen said, "My family abandoned me..." Aaron nodded sadly. "And my mom hates the lower classes, so..." The middle-classer said, "Too bad for your friend then," and kicked him! Allen grimaced in pain and cried, feeling rejected by society. Aaron glared at the cruel car and looked at Allen sadly. Allen sadly drove into town, looking for someone to adopt him. Unfortunately, all he got was rejection, sometimes physical rejection. He came back to his rock in the woods, slightly dented and depressed-looking. Aaron was in shock and said, "What? You were... HURT??" Allen said tearfully, "Nobody wants an underclass teen..." Aaron looked down sadly. "Oh, how I wish my family would accept you...." Allen nodded tearfully. "Me too." A green car with brown eyes that was in the working class looked at Allen. "Umm... Hi." Allen waved sadly. "Are you two brothers?? You look alike-" Aaron and Allen looked at each other, replying, "No..." The worker looked at them suspiciously. "Sure..." A passing richie yelled at Allen and Aaron, "Hey, poor kid! Hey, richie! I want to see you bully poor kid!"*

*"No! He's my friend!"*

*"Aww, poor kid's your friend? Well, I'll get my 'friends' to hurt him!" An upper-middle classer drove out, a cruel smile on his front. He grabbed Allen and slammed him against the rock violently! Allen cried out in pain, pleading for help. Both Aaron and the worker were shocked by the sudden violence. Aaron tried to stop them, but it was too late. Allen had lost consciousness and was horribly injured. The worker called the hospital as a black liquid ran from the side of Allen's cab. Another richie drove out. He looked at Allen's helpless body and laughed. He stomped on Allen's exposed side, causing more injury to the already-badly-injured 14-year-old. An ambulance came, and Aaron tearfully told him what happened.*

## Chapter Three- Sent to the Hospital

*May 2nd, 2020* (May 2nd's my birthday!)

*Aaron tearfully visited Allen in the hospital. His nurse went into the room and gently said, "Are you his brother?" Aaron answered, "I don't think so... He's poor and I'm rich..."*

*"You could've been separated at birth."*

*"You're right!" He looked over Allen. Allen was lying unconscious on the cot. He suddenly woke up, to Aaron's happiness. "Allen!" He hugged his big brother. Allen was still waking up, but murmured, "Hi."*

*"How are you doing?"*

*"Better but still sore."*

*"You WERE smashed against a rock.."*

*"Yeah..."*

*Aaron went home, sad he had to leave.*

## Chapter Four- Targeted!

*May 20th, 2020*

*Allen was let go, to his sadness. He was homeless so he had nowhere to go. Meanwhile, the mayor and a civilian were discussing what to do with the homeless because the town was getting crowded.*

### *Mayor's suggestions*

* *Give them homes*
* *Give them money*
* *Give them families*

### *Civilian's suggestions*

* *Kill them*
* *Kick them out*
* *Make them ILLEGAL*
* *Do some entertainment thing involving the harm of them*

*It was an understatement to say that the mayor did not like their suggestions.*

*"NO, we are NOT* killing *them!"*

*They scowled. "You're no fun."*

*"And killing 255 innocents is?"*

*"*Useless *innocents."*

*"Shut up! You know* I *can kick YOU out, right!?"*

*"You do and my friends will destroy you* and *your house."*

*"Dumb thing to say to the leader. POLICE. COME HERE."*

*The police grabbed the civilian and tossed them in prison. A 5-year-old homeless child approached the mayor.*

*"Food?"*

*"Aww..." He picked up the child, took him to his house, and fed him. "Where's your family, child?"*

*"In the for-wist."*

*The mayor carried the child, looking for his family. He found them and gave them a free home that he would pay for.*

*Allan went up to the mayor. "I have no family..."*

*The Mayor sympathetically looked at him.*
