Desperation

Luis was an honest and fair shoemaker,

he had several people employed by him ,business was good and he was a hard worker , he was only five feet and three inches tall, but he never had napoleon complex, he was happy with his last name .He was balding so he always razor cut his hair every two days.

Life hasn't always been good for Luis he was an orphan but that didn't stop his ambition, his drive to be the best, he started off as a shoeshine and saved enough and moved to the city to be an apprentice for a shoemaker's, after living in a dumpster for two years he saved every penny he earned and now was the time to open my own shoemaker's company.

First year was tough working countless hours day after day, then he made enough to hire one person. Now that his company was number three in the country for shoe production someone got jealous and wanted it for himself.

it was his first employee Stephan , he got Luis arrested so he could steal the company from him.

Luis has hidden the fact that he is a jew , now he wishes he never told Stephan that. It was a time of weakness as they had too much to drink that night.

Now stuck here walking two hundred or more miles just to get killed, if I don't die on the way

I have not forsaken my God, I believe he will help

the road was long cold and wet muddy from days of rain , got was crying Luis thought.

Two small children a boy and a girl and their older brother were walking ahead of me the little ones could barely move anymore because their little feet would sink in the mud and it was hard to pull them out, so the older brother he looked around ten or eleven years old, had picked up both children and was carrying them ,

is there any mercy for the children they are the ones that will have the deepest scars .

But no help came for the children the parents were either murdered or separated from the children. Luis offered to carry one of the children and he said yes please sir, what manners in a time like this he still had manners, as they walked nightfall was on the way, it was getting colder and the children were freezing they weren't given any jackets and the wind was picking up the child on Luis's back was hugging him tighter, then the eleven year old boy had fallen down due to exhaustion, the soldiers kicked him and called him lazy the little girl was picked up by a woman in her late forties or early fifties, so she was out of the way her and her brother, were calling for the older one telling him to get up, but the pain was too much, another round of kicks ensued as the boy lay on the ground, then one soldier got tired of waiting and held the barrel of his rifle to the boys head, just as he was about to pull the trigger , the man's superior came up to him and whispered something in his ear, the the soldier picked the boy up cursing that he got his uniform muddy, brought him a few yards from the road and threw him to the ground.

Everyone can see that the soldier kicked the boys arm out from him the boy then rolled over and was laying on his back, he watched as the soldier raised the butt of his rifle and in one swift action crushed the boys skull, the last thing the boy heard was the man that helped him call the soldier a baby killer and then nothing as the rifle came down again on his skull.

Rest in peace child as your journey is over, Luis tried to pray for the child, but the soldiers put a quick ending to that as one of them started to hit people with a club and aimed for Luis hitting his back as he knelt to pray. The little one Luis was holding was crying and screaming reaching for his brother, he was quickly pulled away by people behind Luis and taken into the crowd.

Luis then started to pray again for the boy, this time he got the rifle butt to the back of the head.

Luis fell almost on the boy , but got back up in a kneeling position, this time he heard a rifle being loaded, and a barrel on the back of his neck.

Luis stopped and look at a soldier and said it is easy to kill someone who poses no threat isn't it.

The soldiers laughed at him, you want to pray for the bastard then pray but know this no matter

how much you pray your God will not help you.

In the distance crying and screaming could be heard ,Ben and Ren heard it first it seems they have a heightened senses, they stood still and listened the screaming is in that direction, they said and ran off faster than anyone. As the twins neared the scene they stopped to see a group of people. The twins were hiding in a big bush , then they looked at each other and grabbed hands, this time the process of their power evolution went alot smoother and they grew six feet ten inches and their skin felt like it was turning into metal it was like they were wearing a suit of armor, they only held hands for a minute but in that minute they had fully transformed, Ben thought we transformed into superhero mode , my skin feels like its hard like a rock the clothes that they were wearing had ripped to shreds except for the oversized pants that they were wearing.

The crowds attention moved over to the bushes that what they believed was a glowing bush and they fell down on their knees to pray that god would protect them .

The twins saw their opportunity as the Jews knelt to pray and left the targets standing and staring in awe the twins jumped out of the bushes and started to pummel soldiers left and right the boys yelled stay down to the people and the did ,with the innocents on the ground the boys had no problem finding and beating the soldiers.

In the aftermath of that fight no one was injured but the soldiers as they were rounded up and tied

together their weapons were either destroyed or dismantled, with the fighting over the twins learned from the voice to power down and that they had to meditate, and relax. Luis came over to the boys and watched them turn from indestructible men to little boys no bigger than the one murdered just awhile ago.

Thank you, we appreciate what you have done for us tonight. Now we can give this brave soul a proper funeral, and send him back to God.
