†No Regrets†


“Hues Calm down for the love of God!” A Russian accent was hinted in this voice. Two men yelled across the phone. Two different ends, one a boss and another forced to work under the cruelty of this dumb ass leader. So Hawk thought. Hawk was in between a good guy and a bad guy. But he never really thought much of what he was. He only followed what rules they’re were. He was a tall handsome Russian guy. About 6'5 and 200lbs. Skinny and a bit muscled. He wears normal army clothes and has army-cut shady black hair. Hazel eyes. He loves to smoke. Smoking gives him the release he needs. It backs away his stress and rules out any other annoying prick that comes to bother him. Many people have told him to stop smoking, but he’d just shrug them off and go about his own way. They tell him, ‘You’re gotta get lung cancer and die!’ With a simple reply of his own, ‘Well you’re gotta die one way or another, might as well live your own life and nobody else’s.’

“I asked for a simple thing to be done and you have the nerve to go against my orders Hawk! I will not calm down!.” A click was heard as Hawk listened to the ringing is his cell phone. He grumbled under his breath. “Damn it....Sometimes I wonder about my days..” He rolled his eyes and shoved his cell phone into his pocket. In most times he had wondered why he even bothered to fall under control of that stupid man. But what else is he gotta do? There isn’t anything in this god forsaken world for Hawk to do. Besides the world was already corrupted. Especially under the rule of a man who has gone senile. He couldn’t help but mentally laugh about that.

He knew Hues was hunting wolves. Hell his whole family had started the whole wolf hatre. Though he wasn’t entirely sure what had caused the Hues to start a war with the wolves. He never really thought of them as a threat. But he had told Hues many times that he will not hunt something that does not exist. Hues was crazy. He had hunted the wolves to extinction or so as many had thought. And now the moron was making him hunt in every area possible. “Damn it Hues...I ain’t gotta hunt something that no longer exist...Thanks to you...” He rolled his eyes.

Flicking up a Cigarette and lighting it. Getting weird looks by the citizens of the city. He faintly ignored them as he made his usual quiet stroll down the sidewalk. Trying to think his mind over. Getting this nonsense out of his head. As he cleared his mind, faint memories danced in his head.

“Hey Vincent! Yo Hawky Boy!” A simple jerk of a child’s head as he looked around for whom called his name. It was his best friend. A male about his age. They had always stuck together since the day they were born. Their parents close friends. “Yo Johnny!” Vincent exclaimed with excitement. Chuckling at his friend’s weird nicknames. “What’s up Molan?” He teased, rubbing his friend’s head in a muggy.

Hawk shook those memories out of his head. There was no time for this. The past was the past. His best friend died a long time ago. He had nothing left. Not even his parents. Hues told him the wolves killed his parents, but Hawk was old enough to know better. After all he had watched the whole thing from the beginning. He knew his monstrous lies. He knew the wolf raid had killed his parents, but it was Hues’s army that killed them. The idiot was a power-hungry moron. Though Hawk had his own reasons for joining Hues’s crew. He’ll get him back. Get him back for what he had done to his whole life, to this world.

Shifting his gaze as he watched people nose about and children play in the streets. He shook his head and looked around once more. It was silent for a bit, but he heard a scream. He looked up to investigate. But only found nothing. He heaved a shrug of his shoulders and wondered forward. He heard that same scream again. “What the fuck?” He questioned, quickly tossing out his cigarette and bolting towards the sound. He looked left to right, searching for it. All he saw was a woman and a man. The woman was screaming in delight because her man had finally proposed to her. He rolled his eyes and mumbled under his breath. That was defiantly a waste of time and a good cigarette. The man found his attention to Hawk and almost threatened him. Hawk growled lowly under his breath as if challenging him. “What the hell you want?” The man said to Hawk. With a quick silent, Hawk just walked by him. But the man grabbed him. That made Vincent angry. He jerked his arm out of his reach and twisted around and punched him straight in the lower jaw and kneed in the stomach. Watching as the man crouched in pain. Hawk took his fists and slammed them against the man’s back. Watching as the man fell. The woman gasped and was terrified. “There goes your future husband.” Hawk spoke to her and then lit up a cigarette and walked up.

Stupid bastards always wanted to cause trouble. As if there wasn’t enough trouble to go around. Hawk knew the man didn’t want to hurt him because he was bothering them. The man wanted to beat him up because he worked for Hues. Not many people loved Hues. Of course not, who would? The man corrupted their city. Destroying it with every motion of his hands. With every power he could. How the hell did Hues become president anyways? That was a long story. But he somehow got his status there. If Hawk was old enough, he would have overpowered the old man. But apparently he wasn’t. Not like he’d win anyways. After all, Hues corrupted their mind as well. Hawk could do that, but he didn’t want too. Because that was not a great leader. No it wasn’t, but the citizens were stupid anyways.

As he reached home, he took a quick gander around. It was pitch dark now. No one was home, at least not now. Hawk had always lived alone. He was normally to busy for anything else. Plus all these stupid females were lovesick fools. Never found a good girl. But he had a dog once. An intelligent wolf-like dog. He adored that creature. It was almost as if the creature could understand every word he had said. But the dog wondered off and was never found again. He was trying to remember why the dog left. But found nothing. It just up and left. It was such a pity. But he was in someway glad. Hues was making him get rid of the dog because it resembled a wolf. Hawk did not wish to get rid of it, but Hues was forcing him to.

Hawk slowly entered his house. Looking around slowly, making sure the coast was clear. As soon as he made sure everything was fine, he went inside and turned on the lights. Slowly dimming them enough so he could still see. He took off his shirt and heaved a sigh. Going to his bathroom and bent down on his knees and started some water. Feeling the temperature, making sure it suits his comfort. Satisfied, he lifted up and quickly began to strip. Slowly sinking down into the tub and laying there in silence. He needed a good refreshing bath. To soothe his aching bones. Even if he was 24 years old. He still had to do a lot of work

He stayed in the tub for quite some time. Almost half asleep before the phone caught his attention. He literally cursed under his breath. Quickly scrambling out of the tub, butt-ass naked. Quickly answering the phone. “Hello?” Hawk spoke, waiting as if it seemed almost forever for a voice on the other line. “Hawk?” The voice on the other end sounded like a female’s voice. It sounded so familiar, but yet he could not even realize whom it was. “Yes..Who is this?” Hawk tapped his fingers on the desk beside him. Waiting patiently. But all he heard was a click. “What the hell?” He grumbled and pressed *69. Hoping to receive the number again, but instead he received an unanswered message. “Damn kids.” He said as he quickly grabbed a towel. Dried himself off and slipped on his boxers. “This day is just not for me.” He rubbed his forehead. Grabbed a beer and plumped on the couch. Relaxing his muscles and turning on the TV. Flipping through channels, most of them news he had already heard of.

He finally got tired of trying to find a channel and slapped in a movie. Not entirely caring what it was, but it was enough to drown out the news. But the movie wasn’t entirely good enough for him. “SHIT.” He turned off the TV, dumped his beer out and went to bed. He needed sleep, he could hardly focus enough to get in bed. He slammed himself on the bed and conked out.

Again the phone rang. Hawk grumbled and quickly woke up in sudden shock. He cursed, hoping it wasn’t another prank call. “Hello?” He spoke as he finally answered it. “It’s about damn time you answered the phone Hawk!” Hawk recognized the voice only to be Hues. “I’ve been calling you all night. Got you once but you hung up on me.” Hawk blinked for a moment. When he ever answer the phone for Hues? “You called last night Hues?” Hawk looked towards the outside as the sun shone brightly in his window. He looked to his clock as it read noon. “Don’t play jokes on me Hawk. You know damn well I called last night.” He shook his head. “No sir I never got a call from you. Only a lady I guess...” Hues grumbled under his breath. “Whatever Hawk...I need you to...” “Don’t even say it Hues. I already told you I wasn’t going to hunt nonexistent creatures!” Hawk exclaimed. “Relax Hawk..I have something else.” Hawk heaved a sigh. Whatever it was, it was probably stupid anyways. “Major Hawk...” Hawk froze, when Hues used his full title it usually meant something extremely stupid. “Go on Hues..I’m waiting for your mission..” A note of sarcasm was dissented in his tone.

“Well if you’re done playing games Hawk, I’d like you to check up on something for me.” Hmm?” “Well there’s a boy I need you to check up on.” Hawk rolled his eyes. “I don’t babysit kids Hues...” “No no..This kid is striking an interest for me. He belongs to the Crill family. He is protesting an essay about those damn wolves. I’m quite interested in what he has done. Especially when he is the heir of my enemies.” A cackle was heard. Hawk rolled his eyes. “This whole things has you coo coo Hues..” Hues growled. “Don’t take that tone with me Hawk! Do as I say!” Hues slammed the phone down. Hawk snorted and pulled his fingers through what was left of his hair. “Great....I’m going to baby sit a kid who is just as crazy as that old man...Ugh..” He quickly slipped on his clothes. Heaving a sigh from his chest. Dragging a cigarette and heading out.
