“Goddamnit. If I see one more ad for the upcoming election, I’m gonna throw the TV through the damn wall.”
Brian Haner Jr. let loose an annoyed grunt and slumped back on the old sofa, grabbing the remote and changing the channel in disgust. He had had it with election ads; all the candidates did was try to force people how their opponent was a lying piece of trash. In his opinion, all politicians were the same; only caring about themselves, not about the people they swore to give a lending hand to.
“Better get used to it, Brian. With the election around the corner, it seems that about eighty-percent of the commercials on any given channel are for the election.”
Brian let loose another annoyed grunt and turned his attention from the TV to Vince Douglass. The older, African-American male excited the small kitchen area and joined Brian on the couch, rubbing his temples a bit. A small smirk appeared on Brian’s face as he gazed over at Vince.
“You’re telling me that even on the sports channel, eighty percent of the commercials are campaign ads?”
Vince let loose a chuckle and shrugged, gazing at the TV.
“Well, since I’m not an avid sports fan like you, I couldn’t tell you that, although I would highly doubt that the candidates are THAT desperate.”
Brian let loose a small laugh, lifting his hand up and running it through his dark hair. He tilted his head curiously as he gazed at the older male.
“So, any interesting news from the outside world?”
Vince let loose a sigh and shook his head, causing Brain to lean his head back in the sofa and shut his eyes.
“Damnit,” he groaned. “This is starting to get really old. Wanna know what pisses me off? The fact that some of the politicians have to know what is happening, and none of them are doing anything about it.”
“I bet everyone of them knows what is happening, but they probably aren’t speaking out against it because The League has them brainwashed.”
“And, if they’re not brainwashed, they’re scared out of their fucking minds,” Brian finished, cursing under his breath.
Vince sadly nodded and opened his mouth to say something, but was interrupted by Jade Parker. Small and skinny, Jade had light brown hair streaked with the occasional aqua and blond, along with emerald green eyes. Her pale skin sported the occasional tattoo, and she had a lip ring on the right side of her lower lip. The female flopped on the sofa between the two males, hugging each of them before gazing at the T.V.
“Hey, guys. How’s is going?”
“Not too shabby,” Vince exclaimed.
“Sick of fucking election ads,” Brian groaned, causing Jade to laugh a bit.
“Yea, I can imagine. Its getting pretty ridiculous with all the campaign ads. I just want the election to be done with, ya know? But, Jimmy told me to let you guys know that he will be down soon with food and some news about The League.”
Brian sat up a bit at the word that Jimmy would be down with news about the League soon, and he turned toward Jade with hopeful eyes.
“Its gotta be good news, right?”
Jade shook her head sadly, biting down on her lower lip and fiddling with a drawstring on her hoodie.
“Jimmy told me it was pretty bad news, Brian. Unfortunately.”
“Damn…” Brian groaned, and then let loose a sigh. “JOHNNY! ARE YOU DONE IN THE SHOWER YET?”
“I’M DONE IN THERE, BRIAN! I’M JUST GETTING DRESSED NOW! DAMNIT, DUDE!”
“WELL, HURRY UP IN THERE, SHORT FUCK! I DON’T WANT TO SEE YOUR NAKED ASS!”
Vince shook his head grinning, and Jade laughed into her hand at Brian’s comment about the other male. After another minute of grumbling and cursing, Johnny came out and sat down on the worn-out love seat. Johnny was a good four inches shorter then Brian, and his currently wet hair was blonde with random black patches. He had a nose ring, and also sported several tattoos.
“Its about time, Johnny! How long does it take to clean your short ass off?”
Brian gave Johnny a playful smirk as he pulled himself off the sofa, causing the younger male to scowl furiously at him as he walked into the small bathroom.
The male grabbed a pair of ripped jeans and an old v-neck and tossed it on his bed, before heading into the small bathroom. After stripping off his clothes, he hopped in the shower and turned on the water, cursing as he felt the icy water hit his skin.
“JOHNNY! YOU USED ALL THE HOT WATER AGAIN!”
“DIDN’T MEAN TO!” Johnny yelled from the living room, causing Brian to roll his eyes and grab the bar of soap.
About ten minutes later, Brian turned off the water and climbed out of the shower, reaching for his towel and drying himself off. He then wrapped the towel around his waist and walked over to the small sink area, lifting a hand up and running it through his wet hair. The male was quite muscular, with dark brown eyes and brown hair with was currently dyed black.
Brian had a nose piercing and colorful tattoos covering both arms, along with the occasional tattoo on his chest and legs. However, the male brought his hand up to the back of his neck, running his fingertips along the tattoo there. It was the glyph for the Zodiac sign Cancer, the Crab. It was the fourth sign in the astrological zodiac and the Cardinal Water sign.
The whole fucking reason he was in this predicament.
It had all started about twos year ago, when a group of people born with the “masculine” Fire and Air signs started a group called “The League”. The group had a clear dislike for the Earth and Water signs; stating that the Earth signs were too “stubborn” and “boring”, while the Water signs were too “clingy” and “emotional”. It was irritating, since none of the shit was true, but it soon turned into a nightmare.
The Governor of California, Arnold Schwarzenegger, became disgusted when he found out The League was forcing people born under the Earth and Water signs to get their signs tattooed on them. Fearing that the group was gaining far too much power, he outlawed the League, saying that their actions toward the Earth and Water signs were no different then the Nazi’s actions against the Jews before World War II.
The League argued that they weren’t anything like Nazi’s, but complied and called off the group. For many, it seemed like an ironic tragedy when six months later, Arnold Schwarzenegger was shot and killed outside his house. A few people, however, realized that The League was behind the assassination, and grouped around the group’s old headquarters in San Francisco to protest.
The protest turned bloody, however, when members of The League came out of the headquarters and opened fire on the protesters, killing twenty and injuring dozens of others. The incident became known as the “Tenderloin Massacre”, named after the area of San Francisco it occurred in, and was a turning point for The League. People started supporting The League out of fear for their lives, which allowed The League to continue with their ultimate plan.
Six months later, The League converted the old prison on Alcatraz Island into a concentration center of sorts for people born under the Earth and Water signs. By this time, the group had gained a lot of power and they pretty much ruled the state of California, so it wasn’t long before they were knocking down doors and transporting people over to their new torture center at Alcatraz.
As The League grew more widespread and powerful, they created more concentration centers in abandoned hospitals, sanitariums, asylums, and prisons around the state of California. They were transporting people to these centers at an alarming rate, and many never came out. Brian’s best friend, Jimmy Sullivan, decided to protect Brian, Jade, Vince and Johnny, and hid the four in his basement. It was extremely risky, because Jimmy knew as well as the other four that The League would kill him if they found out.
“BRIAN! Hurry up, Jimmy is here!”
The sound of Vince calling his name pulled Brian from his thoughts, and the male turned around and headed into the bedroom. He quickly got dressed, before fixing up his dark hair and taking one more glance in the mirror, before heading into the living room. Sure enough, Jimmy Sullivan was slumped on the couch in the living room, chunks of long hair falling into his eyes.
Jimmy was several months older then Brian, and quite a bit taller and more slender. The male had blue eyes, which were currently watching Brian with an amused look. He had a labret piercing and an industrial in one ear, and like Brian and Johnny, was covered with colorful tattoos.
“Hey, Bri.” Jimmy exclaimed, smiling as his aquamarine eyes met Brian’s brown one.
“Hey, bro. How’s is going in the outside world?”
“Grabbed you guys some In-And-Out Burger to eat, but other then that, I’m afraid I have some pretty bad news, man.”
Brian headed over to the table, where Jimmy had left the bag. He grabbed a hamburger and a soda, before sitting down on the love seat next to Jade.
“Well then, may as well get it over with,” Brian said quietly as he opened up the cheeseburger, looking up at the older male as he took a bite.
Jimmy nodded his head and brushed some hair out of his eyes before speaking.
“The League is planning to open up a concentration and death center not very far from here.”
“That doesn’t sound very good for us,” Vince exclaimed.
Johnny bit his lip and dropped his head to the ground, his face paling. Jade immediately leaned her head on Brian’s shoulder, causing the male to wrap an arm around her and kiss her head.
“Is it at the old Huntington Beach State Hospital?” Vince asked, causing all eyes to focus on him.
“Nah, that place is too fucking scary, even for The League. Rumor has it that one of the members of The League’s mother was a patient there. Hear that shit is worse then Pennhurst School in Pennsylvania.”
“When where’s it at, then?” Brian exclaimed. “The nearest location, other then that, is Linda Vista, and that place already is a concentration center.”
“Its at that old sanitarium near Irvine. Fuck, I don’t remember the name off the top of my head, but its pretty big and kinda looks like Waverly Hills in Kentucky.”
“The fact that it looks like Waverly Hills doesn’t help, Jimmy,” Johnny exclaimed.
“I think I know the place he’s talking about,” Jade exclaimed. “Pacific State Sanitarium. Its right outside Irvine, and it’s a little less then a half hour away from here.”
“Yea…that does ring a bell,” Vince exclaimed. “The place is massive and the state has been trying to tear it down for ten years. Heard a lot of fires have been started inside it.”
“YEA! That’s the place. Yea, The League is going to make it like Auschwitz and turn it into a concentration and death center. Since its so close, I’d thought I’d tell you. I’m really starting to think that I need you move you guys. Because with the centers at Linda Vista and Pacific State so close, Huntington Beach isn’t very safe.”
Vince let loose a sigh and nodded slowly, before speaking.
“If we can get out of California, we should be fine. We just have to find a way to get out of here that won’t attract The League to us.”
Jimmy nodded his head, before pulling himself off the sofa.
“Yea, well, I have to get out of here. The League already has their attention on me; starting to think something is suspicious. Can’t make them worry more.”
The tall male pulled himself off the sofa and bid the others farewell, hugging Jade and patting the males’ shoulders on the way out.
As he leaned down to hug Jade, the glyph for Aquarius, which the eleventh sign of the Zodiac and the Fixed Air sign, was visible on the back of Jimmy’s neck. And like most people born under the sign of the Water Bearer, Jimmy was a member of The League.
--------------------------------------------
February 19, 1940: The use of the Dachau, Germany, concentration camp as a training facility for the Waffen-SS concludes. Prisoners transferred to the Mauthausen, Austria, camp in September 1939 are returned, and Dachau reverts to its original use as a concentration camp.
Discussion Questions:
1) Jimmy is a member of The League, but he is risking his life by hiding his friends in his basement. Why do you believe he is doing this? Why is he as much danger, possibly more, then his friends?
2) How is the story of The League’s rise to power similar to the story of the Nazi’s rise to power? How is it different?
3) Both Arnold Schwarzenegger and Jimmy compare The League to the Nazi’s. In your opinion, is this a fair comparison or not? Do you believe that The League’s views are more or less racist then the Nazi’s view of the Jews?
4) Search the Internet for personality traits of Aquarius. What are some of the traits of the sign, and how is it strange that Aquarians would be involved in something like genocide?
