A Log by Levy - Brotherly Love

 

The short time Mona had spent with the captain had been very enlightening. He had been very nice and accepting, she on the other hand had not. Her conversation with her brother had put her in a bad move and she had accidentally snapped at Davies. It was not the sort of behavior she should have shown and as usual she had spoken without thinking. She shook her head and decided she would do something about it. Her mind slowly started to drift back to the past and the many years earlier the rift with Benedick had started.

 

She was 14 and standing with her brothers Be and Nan. She was scared out of her mind because she knew she was not ready for this race. She was a good rider for her age, but this was far to advance for her. Not only that but the dirt bike she had was a little too big for her. Her brother Be told her not to sweat it and she would handle the bike fine. She smiles a bit but only half-heartedly. “And don’t worry” Be said, “I am in the race with you and I will make sure you are alright” Nan shot his brother a mean look. Mona watched the two and could sense Nan was mad and that Be had somewhat of ulterior motives. She didn’t know what it meant, but she trusted her brothers.

 

When the race started Be was right at her side. It was true the course was very hard, but she handled it as best she could. All of a sudden Benedick sped out in front of her and took the lead. Slowly Mona started to fall behind. She was getting tired and the bike had too much power. “How could they let her do this?” she thought. She tried to stay focused as her eyes clouded with tears, what would the boys do and say to her. Out of the corner of her eye she spotted her brother Be coming up on her right. She smiled inwardly. He smiled back at her and all of a sudden she sensed a flash of something from him. It was superiority, he knew he was better at this than her and was going to prove it to her. “Oh god, what is he gonna do” she thought. He pulled his bike closer to her and cornered her next to a wall. “What is he doing” her mind screamed. As he got closer she realized what it was. He put hit foot out and kicked her ankle making the bike unsteady. Her eyes got wide as he did it again. Then as they say third time is the charm, he kicked her and the bike again and she lost control. They had been going up a slope and before she knew it she was flying thru the air barely holding onto the bike. Next thing she new everything went black.

 

Mona had lost her memory after the accident. When she started to remember slowly that was one of the memories that came to her. She had asked Benedick if it was true and all he said was “Yeah. But hey I won the race and you are starting to remember things so I guess it all worked out fine” Mona’s mouth dropped and she stormed out of the room.

She had left the details out when she had had her conversation with the captain about it. It was a hard thing for her to think about and it got her emotional at times. One of the few things that did get under her skin. She brushed it out of her mind and decided to focus on something happier the Agincourt ball.
