backstory: Hero Teacher

about 10 years ago-

Beau is walking on the streets. at the time Beau is on high school. Beau is walking with bruises on his arms, legs, and face. his face seems lifeless. he is wearing dirty clothes, Beau was just walking around of the streets.

there is a loud noise. Beau follows the noise. he is witness of a dying boy on a dark alley. he didn't know what to do. he could let that person there to die, or he could help him risking his own self. Beau approaches the dying boy. he looks at Hunter, who seems to not be much older than him. Beau thinks about a solution.

after thinking some time. Beau finally chose to take him to his department. in there he took care of Hunter's wounds. Hunter was so badly wounded, that he was unconscious for about four days.

Hunter wakes up on an old department. it seems like it was haunted or about to fall. that was the first time he saw his savior, Beau. the man who saved his life. Hunter could barely move. he asks for something to eat.

Beau tells Hunter that there is some pizza on the table. he helps him to stand up. the two strangers go to the dinning room. in there they started to eat silently. Hunter felt a bit happy, happy to know that he didn't die.

Beau serves him some soda. Hunter asks if Beau's parents are okay with him having a stranger on home. Beau looks quietly at the pizza. there was some rage on his eyes. then he whispers something with rage.

"I have no parents."

those are the words he whispered.

Hunter didn't asks anything else. he is in a similar situation. he can't talk about himself either nor his past. in some way he feels like he found someone like him. that make him feel some sort of satisfaction.

Hunter asks if he can stay a bit longer, until he feels better. Beau has no problem with him staying for another night, or two. Beau only asks him to get his own food. he also asks him to help on the house. Hunter accepts the deal with a huge smile.

Beau felt bad for his behavior. he wasn't going to ask for forgiveness. he just kept eating peacefully ignoring the other guy. Beau felt some pain on his face. he is asks by Hunter about the bruises on his body. Beau just ignores him.

four months later-

Hunter is on his home. he is on his knees. his father walks around of him holding a belt. the father hits him on the feet & legs. Hunter tries to tolerate the pain. the father yields furiously to Hunter.

the father is angry for no good reason. his father has always being an alcoholic. the father use to be a nice guy. but after the mother left all change. the father became violent towards Hunter. he started to hit Hunter every time he is drunk. and he is drunk all the time.

four months ago Hunter was attacked by some criminals. they wanted to take the little money he had. he came back to his home, just for the father to beat him up. the father was furious. he didn't even cared that Hunter was almost killed.

Hunter opens his eyes. the father was sleeping on the sofa. he is hugging a bottle of liquor with love. Hunter feels envy of the liquor. he wishes to receive his father's love. he feels rage towards his mother for leaving.

Hunter cries silently. he tells to himself that he shouldn't cry. he tells to himself that he is meant to smile. his father told him many times to smile. a man doesn't cry, crying isn't a manly thing to do.

he has to smile all the time. he has to keep his emotions to himself. Hunter didn't know if he could live like that anymore. he feels like breaking inside. he feels rage & love for his own father. that man is his father and is his enemy.

that night Hunter went to sleep. he couldn't sleep thinking about his pain. Hunter is thinking about the guy who saved his life. the guy who was good to him. he used to have friends when his mother lived with them. after she left he became lonely.

now as he tries to sleep. tears fall from his eyes. Hunter wishes to live a better life. he wishes for his life to have any meaning. he wishes to do something with his life. his life is shit now. shit with no meaning.

two days after-

Hunter is on the school. when he goes to the cafeteria he sees a familiar face. it is Beau who is sitting by himself. Hunter takes some food. he sits next to Beau. Hunter with a friendly smile says hello to him.

Beau seems to be angry. Hunter asks him if they can be friends. Beau doesn't answer. Hunter keeps talking to him. Hunter really wants to have a friend. he tries to contain all his negative emotions.

Beau accepts to be his friend. he is also a lonely soul. Beau is being bully on school. he is being bully because of a lie, a lie that was told about him. Beau has to tolerate that shit by himself.

there is a girl. she had feelings for him. Beau rejected her. she was so furious that she spread rumors. she made him look like a pervert, a creep, and a bad guy.

Beau feels relief to know even him can have a friend. he hated school so much. maybe with a friend at his side, maybe then he can feel the joy of the school life. Beau smiles for the first time in a long time.

Beau starts to talk with Hunter. they talk about random different topics. the two of them are feeling like if their pain was gone for once. it was a special day, for two guys who are able to make a friend in hard times.

"do you promise? do you promise to be my best friend forever? don't matter what comes on life? please, promise to be always there at my side."

asks Hunter with teary eyes.

he feels anxious. the idea of losing his only friend is terrifying. he thinks that maybe he isn't mature enough. he asks himself if he is being too pushy. Hunter closes his eyes, he feels embarrassed for being childish. he wants to pretend he didn't say that.

"okay, I mean. as long as I am alive I promise to be there for you. I promise to help you and to be a good friend. I promise until the day of my death. does that sound good enough..... my, mmm. my best friend."

said Beau with a grumpy face.

Hunter smiles. he was afraid of Beau hating him for his words. he then hated himself for not appreciating how good of a friend is Beau. Hunter was smiling & laughing with joy.

Beau feels like taking back his promise. he isn't sure if it is worth it to have friends. Beau then smiles naturally thinking about his first friend. a friend, that is something he never believe he will ever have.

with Hunter's charismatic personality, he was able to help Beau. he was able to stop the bullying in some way. Beau started to asks Hunter about his scars. like if he knew already about Hunter's father.

days went by like that. Hunter and Beau soon became the best of friends. they could talk about personal things with each other. there was trust. trust for a good friend. Hunter's father was as violent as ever.

one day Hunter arrived at home late. he stayed on the library studying. he fall asleep while studying. the father didn't care for the excuses. that was the day, the day in which Hunter was beat up till he was left half dead.

that day when he arrived at his home, everything seemed as normal as usual. when Hunter was walking on the living room. he saw his father sleeping in the sofa. Hunter was about to go to his room.

the father stands up. the father furiously runs towards Hunter. he tries to strangle Hunter with his own belt. then he starts to punch Hunter on the face. he smacks Hunter's face against the wall multiple times. he then kicks Hunter's stomach.

Hunter falls on the floor bleeding from the forehead, nose, and lips. he is just witness of how his father is destroying the house. he is just witness of all the violence. Hunter can't even say a single word.

Hunter didn't know in what moment. but then he fell on top of the glass table, the one that is on the living room. he can only feel the pain on his body. his eyes are looking at the devil in front of him. the monster on human clothing. the man holding a gun.

his father aims at Hunter's face. for a second Hunter only wants for his father to do it. he wants the pain to end there. he closes his eyes. there was no bang. when he opens his eyes. Beau was stabbing Hunter's dad from behind with a kitchen knife.

the man turns around. he screams with horror. he is still holding the gun. he saw the lifeless eyes of Beau. a boy with no fear is indeed scary. Beau holds now some glass, he jumps on top of the man. Beau stabs him on the left eye. he then stabs him on the neck multiple times. but the man was still standing fighting back.

Beau grabs the knife, which was stuck on the man's back. he stabs the man on the throat deep enough. the man finally falls on the floor dying. Beau looks at Hunter with a huge smile of accomplishment. Hunter starts crying feeling emotional.

"what? did you missed that piece of shit already?"

said Beau with sarcasm.

"no, it is just that no one has ever saved me before. I had being wishing for someone to save me from him. sorry if I am too sentimental."

said Hunter while crying.

later that day. Hunter asked Beau about his nationality. Beau while talking at times he speaks with accent. Beau confessed to not be from the USA. he told him that he left his home country, Australia. he left for an accident that happened in there.

Beau took care of the body. he also took care of any possible evidence. with no evidence then there is no crime. later when he returned, Hunter was already sleeping. Beau took a beer. he drinks it. he falls asleep on the sofa.

the next day Hunter woke up feeling peace. the monster, that was his biggest nightmare was gone forever. Hunter didn't need to fear anymore for his life. he can be more happy now. Hunter felt a bit angry towards himself, for being happy with his own father's death. he felt some guilt.

Hunter felt like life was finally becoming bright to him. then after some days Hunter was witness of how Beau became even more strange. he seems like if he was changing. one day in particular something broke. something wasn't the same ever again.

that day in particular Hunter was smiling. he said hello to some teachers. he even asks about algebra to his teacher. when he was walking to the cafeteria. he could heard the screams of others. he walks slowly towards the cafeteria. in there he saw how Beau was a complete stranger.

Beau is fighting with four people at the same time. Beau screams with rage. there is a lot of blood on the floor. most of the blood belongs to others. there is a wounded girl screaming on horror, she keeps calling Beau a monster.

Beau is stop by four teachers. Beau screams with pain. he bites his own tongue. he bleeds as he keeps screaming. the rage was clear. the pain was overshadowed by the acts of violence. Beau was crying as he kept calling for a name.

that day Beau was taken to a prison. Hunter was still on shock for what he saw. he stayed the whole day thinking about his friend. he couldn't concentrate on school. later someone told him what happen. the girl insulted Beau for no reason. then she called him a murderer. she asked him what is the name for someone who kills his own father.

that is what woke the rage on Beau. he brutally attacked her. then some boys tried to help her, but no one was strong enough. not enough to stop the beast on him. the beast that was made of rage.

Hunter didn't heard anything else about Beau. it took him two months, two months to know that Beau is in a psychiatric hospital. by now he was just sixteen.

many saw Beau like a monster. they even called him names like 'the Boogeyman of West Saint High' or 'the Bestial Psycho.' Beau became an urban legend of the school. no one ever cared about the true.

Hunter visited Beau on the hospital many times. in there he learned from Beau himself. he learned that Beau killed his own father. a man who use to hit his mother every day like if it was nothing. Beau tried to protect his mother. he killed him by accident.

the reason why he left his home country is simple. his mother saw him like a monster. his mother kicked him out of the house. she called the cops on him. he was running away from the law. he was a criminal.

there was an uncle who cared a lot for Beau. the uncle helped Beau to run away. the uncle found a way to help him out of the country. the uncle gave him money. he did everything he could to protect him.

to live on an unknown land was hard. Beau helped Hunter, because for a second he saw his father on Hunter's father. the rage took over his body.

Hunter learned that Beau had resentment towards woman. he blamed woman for all. it was because of his mother that he killed. he was bullied because of a girl, and that same girl is why he is now on a mental hospital. he started to feel hate towards woman.

time went by. days became weeks. weeks became months. months became years. for years Hunter visited every single week. he visited his friend. he visited his savior.

our brain works on mysterious ways. Beau woke up one day without the memories of his past. he had changed now. he has become softer. the hatred was gone. he basically became a new person.

on those years Beau's mental state at times went down, at times went up. eventually after those years Beau was finally 'normal.' he had forgotten that he killed two man. he had forgotten mostly what happened on the cafeteria.

it was on Beau's twenty-first birthday, when he had became a totally different man. the man of the past was gone, he was buried.

Beau stayed on the hospital for another year. until the doctors believed he was cure. Beau left the mental institute. he stayed with Hunter.

Beau didn't hated woman anymore, but deep inside he was still blaming woman. so when he was finally out of the hospital. he decided to live a life away from woman. he was able to get a job thanks to Hunter.

actual time-

Ryker Wright is on a dark room. he is on a club meeting. the other members of the club are keeping their faces hidden. one of the members talks and talks. Ryker tells him to shut the hell up. Ryker tells them about Hunter's death.

"he wasn't an official member, I know. he wasn't part of the club. jet he died for a noble cause like many of our brothers. he died doing what he saw as the right thing to do. at least lets be respectful of him. we must learn to fight without doubts. to fight knowing death can happen. because there is no mayor revolution without casualties."

said Ryker motivated by Hunter's death.

the other members are speaking with each other. Ryker asked them to be silent. he asks for a minute of silence. a minute on name of the latest hero's death. everyone was speechless. Ryker isn't usually this respectful of others. it is even worse when they are already dead.

some of the members are asking themselves who was Hunter. who was he to get Ryker's respect. to make an effect on that emotionless old man. Hunter probably was a great man.

after the minute was over. some of the members start to talk about different plans. about different ideas. they feared for their lives. the Deities are winning on this war. a war that feels more like a lost cause. a war on which only one side ever wins.

"well that is all for today. you all are welcome to leave. I need a moment alone. to think about a fallen brother. later I will notify you of the next meeting."

said Ryker feeling sad.

most members are leaving quietly. Ryker thinks about Hunter's last words to him. he also thinks about the mission he left to him. a mission left after Hunter's death. he already accepted to do it. now he can't betrayed his values, nor his promise.

before (Hunter's Death)-

Hunter is on the ground. he is bleeding a lot. he is looking at the roof. he was shot multiple times by Ed White, the same man he thought he could save. Hunter knows his time is coming. he can hear the voices of the assassins walking closer to him.

Hunter starts to talk quietly. he keeps talking about things that didn't make sense. he could see the Ferryman coming closer to him. he can see a smirk on that sinister face, a smirk that hides the sorrow he feels.

"please don't tell Beau. tell him that I lived happy with no regret on my last days. I went out smiling. don't. I don't know what will happen if he has another mental breakdown. he won't make it, not without anyone to help him.... Martha I love you, I hope you can be happy, I hope you can find a good guy."

those were Hunter's last words.

some of the assassins are curious to know what he said. the only one who could heard it all was Ed White. he heard every single word. he looks at the other assassins. he walks away from the corpse.

"lets go. the dead can't confirm what happens on the future. the best way to respect them is to let them die believing everything will be fine. let them believe the world will be a magnificent place for their love ones."

said Ed with teary eyes.

the other assassins are looking at him. what can make an assassin cry? what were the last words of a dying man? those are questions the assassins are asking themselves. Ed white walks away feeling weird for not honoring the last words of a dying man.
