Faceclaim: Jon Kortajarena

Being the younger brother of the angelic Ezra Rhys, Axel Ezekiel Rhys decided he needed to be the problematic child. The boy was always getting into trouble as a child, by getting into fights. His parents didn’t really care so much for him, their eyes on him, afraid of what his move would be. Nothing changed in the course of his life, he made it his mission to make his parent’s lives miserable. As a young boy, he was mischievous, hiding the remote and terrorizing the cat. His parents thought of him as the spawn of the Devil, but for him all he wanted was ten minutes of their time. He wasn’t angry at Ezra, they got along and he often could be found outside playing or in the den building forts. However, there was one problem, one thing he hated about his brother. People worshiped him; he was the good son, the one who did what he was told, while Axel was known as the Omen.

One day, his parents decided to leave the boys without a baby sitter, leaving Ezra in charge to WATCH Axel while they went to work. It was the weekend, and Ezra was in the room with a friend. Axel went into the kitchen to make some toast and eggs and had gone back to the living room to play his game only for a few minutes. Suddenly, the fire alarms started blaring. Both boys ran into the room and gasped as the kitchen was set ablaze. Ezra got the fire extinguisher, and put the fire out. He told Axel to go back into his room that mom and dad would be pissed if they home and say this and he would clean up. Once his parents came home from work, and seen Ezra cleaning up the mess in the kitchen, his mother who was irate walked into his room and slapped him across the face. She told how dare he do that, and he responded by saying it was an accident. They didn’t believe him and sent him away to live with his aunt who was a psychologist. She diagnosed him with bi-polar, which explained the mood swings and the temperamental issues. Through all the bad stuff happening to him, he never once thought bad things about Ezra. He knew it wasn’t his fault that he acted out, which caused everyone to think he was a ids. He later believed it himself.

High school was a blast for Axel, he got into the wrong crowd and started acting up in class. He was known as the class clown and sent to the principal’s office for smoking pot or drinking on school grounds. He was sent there so many times, that the secretary and the principal gave him his own personal chair outside his office. Students around school, ones who knew him, and others who didn’t, often labeled him as an asshole. With no one understanding him, or how angry he truly was, he made himself the school bully. Picking on the weaker and happier kids in his high school, and around his neighborhood. He wanted to stop being the one in his brother’s shadows, and comparing him to his brother. Everyone loved his older brother, but to him, they hated him.

As Ezra went off into the army, Axel was worried about his safety. He refused to tell people that his brother was his weak spot, the one person that understood him. His parents allowed him to move back in to the house, thinking it was alright and they forgave him. The night, they called his parents, changed Axel. They announced Ezra was missing, taken by the enemy. A few months had passed and the Army pronounced Ezra dead. As everyone grieved, Axel took it the hardest, his mother told him she wished it was him. As he got older, he graduated high school, he got pulled into drinking and drugs, trying anything his money would buy him. The drugs and alcohol, helped numb the pain only for a little bit. With his brother gone and his mother wanting him dead, she was going to what she wanted. Like always.

He was found in his bedroom, overdosing on heroine by a friend who came over to visit and sent in the night to the hospital, where he was monitored for days. Inside there, he escaped, deciding he had enough of psychoanalyzed. He traveled back to his house. He probably though he was dead, or something and probably even throwing a party. Seeing this was true, he walked upstairs and gathered his stuff. Spinning the globe he had in his room, he spun the globe, closing his eyes and took his forefinger putting it in a random spot. Opening his eyes, he seen he had picked Evermore City, Colorado. Gathering his stuff, he got back into his car and drove towards the state. ‘Maybe this place will be where I am wanted,’ He thought to himself.

Unaware he was crossing into lycan territory, his car broke down and he decided he would go and try to find a gas station. As he walked down the street, he noticed someone coming out of the woods, looking scared and somewhat pathetic. However, he stopped as he watched the man change into what he would soon become. A Lycan. For once in his life time, he was afraid, turning around he ran back to his car, however it scared the random man turning wolf creature and he ran after him, and tackled him to the ground where he bit him, then ran off into the woods. Hours later, he was found in the woods by a pack member, the guy took him in and gave him a room, where he woke up the next morning. Thinking this was all a dream, Axel got up and looked outside seeing the man that bit in the woods. Going out the back door, he ran off looking around as he seen his brother as he ran out of the house.
