Talons - [P.O.V]

So this was how I would die? With nothing to offer to my family that really needed me.

I felt like I had failed them.

I cried as I closed my eyes waiting for my death.

"Fire!" She commands.

"Wait! Wait! Wait! Okay, I would marry Antonio mum, please just spare him." Claudia shouted in tears as she held her mother's legs in pain.

"Don't take his life, I will marry Antonio." She bitterly cried as she held onto her mother's legs.

"You would marry him?" She asked.

"Yes, if you let Talon go." Claudia cried more.

"I really need this job ma." I begged back as Claudia turned to look at me surprised that I probably dared to still want to stay.

"Oh really." Madam Lilith said, taking a step towards me.

"You want me to forgive you so that you can ruin the future of my family business?" She asked me as she held onto my bloody jaw.

"No ma'am." I murmured back.

"You're fired!" She said with her eyes digging into my poor soul before she threw my face roughly away from her.

Those words broke me into pieces because today was my payday and I needed the money to pay my own mother's hospital medical bills.

"How about my salary, today is my payday ma'am." I begged her as I was dragged away.

"You will get nothing, now throw this failure out from my house!" She roared as she kicked Claudia away from her legs.

"You all saw what just happened here today right?" She asked the entire family as she folded her hand together like a good lady.

"If any one of you snitches..." She said, smiling back at them like a demon.

"I don't care who snitches though, because it won't affect me." She added.

"All I know is that I will block all of your banking accounts nevertheless and you will all lose your inheritance." She roared at the house as they took me away.

I was thrown over the road outside the mansion.

I got up only to see missed calls from my mother.

I called back weakly.

"Talon, it's mum, she's in pain." Evan said to me.

I deeped the phone back into my pockets as I shot a great race to save my mother's life.

I wondered how I would tell her that I couldn't get my salary to pay for her health.

I cried to know how she would feel knowing that.

The pains banging through my body was like a storm.

But I kept running as fast as I could.

I had nothing on me but if it meant that I would give my mother my heart then I would do that.

I finally reached home.

My heart was beating like a frightened animal.

I grabbed the curtains, Using it to cover my injured body.

I didn't want my mother to see my injuries.

I looked at the ground to see my blood staining the floor as I took some more steps reaching into the room.

Then I saw Evan holding our old woman in his arms.

"The pain has stopped my son." She said to Evan taking a glass of water before sitting up and then her eyes set on me.

The glass cup on her hand falls to the ground.

"Talon?" She called as she stood up.

Evan turned back to look at me confused.

"Talon, are you okay?" She asked as she walked towards me and before she held the curtains.

"I'm fine." I lied.

"What is this?" She asked as I looked at the curtain to see that it had betrayed me.

The curtain was white in colour and my blood had stained the entire curtain in return as I looked into her eyes.

She opened the curtain and tears filled my mother's eyes.

"Ahhh..." She said taking steps back towards her bed pointing her finger towards me.

"Talon, who did this to you?" Evan asked.

"I'm okay, I got into trouble, not a big deal." I said to him, trying to pretend.

"Why are you lying, speak!" Evan blasts at me in return.

"I and Claudia got into trouble." I confessed to him.

"But I thought I warned you about having anything to do with her!? Why didn't you listen!" Evan said angrily.

"Okay fine! Where is your salary?" He asked me calmly.

Tears drop down from my eyes as I greet my teeth.

"I was fired." I replied to him and his lips split open.

"Hah! Then we need to go back and beg them." He said with tears filling his eyes as he walked past me, standing at the door, his emotions flooding his thinking.

"Talon, my heart is hurting, we need that money today, I can help you beg her." My mother said as she grabbed my hand leading me out of the house.

Technically, the woman I called mother was in her fifties with an old granny look.

She took care of me and Evan.

She was amazing, she loved us.

Kids who weren't even her real kids.

"Let's go Evan." She said to him as she dragged me.

She loved and cherished us like we were hers.

Evan was an orphan she adopted.

While I was a kid who lost his memories that she found and loved as though I was hers.

The curtains over me fell into the ground as I managed with my energy heading back to the Ontario family's mansion.

My salary was our last hope.

Her health and our feeding all together depended on it.

I stopped on my way there.

"Talon, let's go!" Evan yells.

"I can't." I said to him.

"Why are you so selfish huh?" He immediately slams at me.

"She took care of us since we were kids and now you want her to die?" Evans said before he drops a punch over my mouth causing me to bleed even more.

He was the type that couldn't control his temper.

"Okay now, I don't care anymore, let me lose my life, if that's the price." I said till we reached the gates.

"What are you doing here, it's like you want madam to deal with you?" One of the security men said, looking at me.

"Don't be cruel, let them in." Mr. Antonio said and we immediately entered the compound.

I looked at the bald man who was picked to marry my lovely Claudia because I don't have money.

"You shouldn't do that." Madam Lilith warns him as she walks out of the house and turns to look at us.

Then the entire family began to gather around as well.

I could hear them gossiping.

"You hurt my son, how could you madam Lilith." My mother said as she walked towards her.

I feared she was going to slap Madam Lilith.

Our coming looked like I brought my mum and brother to come and beat up the people that hurt me.

Funny right?

But it was my sad irony.

She reached closer to madam Lilith who I guess was thinking that she was going to get slapped as well.

Then my mother falls to the ground on her knees.

My lips split open in shock as I stared at her turn to look at both I and Evan who stood behind her.

"Go on your knees foolish boys." She said to us weakly and I and Evan slowly went on our knees.

"Please madam Lilith, my son Talon is young, he makes mistakes but he is still my son and he worked for you for three months, hence today, which is supposed to be his payday... You beat him up and fired him." She said looking at Madam Lilith eyes in return.

"And I will set him on fire if I get provoked!" Madam Lilith threatens my mother who places her hand over madam Lilith's shoes as her tears fall over it.

"I did not come here to provoke you." She said looking down.

"I only came because we need the money for my health." She added as tears dropped out from her eyes.

"You see, I am sick, so please, just pay my son his salary so we can go." She begs her.

"Get off her shoes, you sick thing!" Mr. Edward Antonio said using his shoe to push my mother away and she fell to the ground bruising her face.

"Indeed she is an old sick thing, just take a look at their entire rat looking family." Madam Lilith curses, staring at my mother who struggles over the ground to get back in order.

The disrespect to her felt painful in my bones.

"My own mother!" I was ready to fight.

I got up but then Evan rushed at Edward in anger, with a punch blessed by my entire fire.
