My life wasn't this violent and troublesome,I was once a gentle boy who everyone loved, except my annoying father but due to consequences I changed and this is what I am now.

My name is Bruno and I'm 11years.I'm the old child of my parent.I grew up in the ghetto.A place where your right is earned by violent, fighting and killing.you don't step on one's toes and expect to be forgiven here.Growing up here wasn't easy for me,as I had to avoid all these wild activities which subjected me to being a introvert.I was able to live with all the ghetto lifestyle but how long will it lost.

My mother has always made clear that out there are full of crazy people who have conscience,they will keep anything down that

try to stop there way.so wherever you see any act of violence ''just mind your business''.Those words had kept me going,but my father is the bossing arrogant type,whom anything you do to please him, seems to make no sense to him.He never gives attention to me, always comparing me with those street refraps.saying that I'm not a fighter,I'm just a shy mummy's boy who get pushed around.

And I hate to hate any business to with him,he never created a father and son bond, always having hard feelings towards me.

College hasn't been easy for me.being the only smart guy in the class makes you look disgusting to others.Why?.You make them look stupid in class when a teacher pop a question to them and only you gives the answer because of my smartness,I was been bullied by Kelly and his friends.kelly was just the guy with cool stuff,rich parents and with his influence,has been able to draw the attention of the ladies.kelly always made me do his homeworks, forcing out money from me and deprive me for eating my lunch.Each time,I tried to fight him off,I end up been beaten by his friends.What does the school authority do?. They just place them in two week suspension.Imagine that! Those guys should be expelled.One hot afternoon,I was heading home from school alone,the route to my path was lonely, filled with lot of tall grassess,as I walked on the red sand that leading to my home,the atmosphere was calm,silent as the did its daily job,shining hit rays on the earth.I Could heard the wind,it blew the grassess making them dance to its direction of the wind.I quietly walked home, eating my sweet baked cookies alone.Just at that moment I heard some footsteps dashing towards my direction,I quickly turned to know who was that,when I noticed it was Kelly and his gang.They were running furiously towards me,as Kelly had a little pocket knife.Just as I spotted them,I took to my heels, I ran as far as my feet could carry, jumping all obstacles but still that wasn't enough to beat them.Just as I was about to jump a fence, Kelly quickly held my leg and pulled me down to the ground.''You made is to run all the way to get you.And I guess here is a good spot to deal with you'' said Kelly as he was panting.He brought out his pocket knife and order his friends to hold me tight,he slowly walked up to me and unbotton my shirt leaving it open.As he took his knife,I shouted for help "Help... somebody help me".

I know nobody will come but I still had to try.He pierce the knife on my belly, trying to draw a big name."B" I was gushing out blood, still he didn't care."somebody help me please... Kelly please stop".He was about to draw the "R",when we heard a gun shot.immediately I was freed,as there were about to run.The shooter stopped them and dealt with them.Making them to promise never to touch me,then chased them off by shooting in the air again.

The shooter approached me,he was just a young man in his 20's,dark and tall.He took me up and carried me to a nearby clinic were the wound was dressed.I ask for his number so that I could thank he,but that wasn't the main reason.Few days later,I called the young man who saved me

I requested to see him but he tried refusing,but later gave in.I made it clear to him,I want to be like him.He told me about the risk involved but never told him that I wanted to join his cult group and start doing violent acts.I was initiated into the group and

Gave me a task to prove my loyalty,to execute my parent as they did.A task that's impossible,I can never do such.never will I do such.Now they are after my life.Who will save me?.
