Drew

Please read this story:

There's this boy named Drew. He was adopted by this very rich family. Well, it wasn't an official adoption, the daughter of this family, who had not seemed able to get pregnant, found this baby abandoned, and so she claimed him as her own.

The boys real parents had been from a class of workers of this rich family. Drew felt some kinship towards the workers. He probably didn't guess the truth, but in the back of his head, he knew something was strange.

He watched the way these workers, and perhaps subconsciously, he saw things from the workers' perspective. He saw just how abusive his family (or so he had been told,) was to the workers. He kept a relatively close eye on the workers, and complained that they were being mistreated. His grandfather told him not to worry, the lower class was being treated fairly, and then asked the grandson to calm down, be more sensible, and warned him not to make trouble again.

He still kept an eye on the workers' conditions, and actually saw one of them being abused. He ran over to the guard, and screamed at him, asked him how in God's name he could whip the worker. The whipper, who was a cousin of Drew, (by Drew's adoption, of course), knew that Drew was punished for sticking his nose into such business, so he told Drew to shove off, and then proceeded to assault the worker. Drew was outraged, and before he knew what happened he had killed his cousin.

He was already in trouble with his grandfather. His grandfather could have him killed for this, if nothing else, to shut him up. So, Drew ran away. He ran away and thought, and meditated a great deal. He did this with the help of a very wise very old helper he met in the wilderness, where he had run to.

He realized a great deal. He realized what the mark on his body meant. It meant that he truly was a member of the workers' clan. He realized that had his grandfather found out, he would have killed Drew, so it was a good thing he had run away. He also realized that he was in love with a worker, and he would go back to free her.

He went back to his old home, and demanded that his grandfather, though both knew that this wasn't true anymore, let him go away, with the worker he loved so much. He was refused. "Well, can I just take a three day vacation with her." Again, he was refused.

He had learned many tricks when he had run away, all thanks to the older one that he had met. This older one knew the woman in question, it was his daughter. He had taken a rather strong liking to Drew, however, and wanted him to take her away from the tyrannous grandfather.

Drew used the first of many tricks. He returned to the grandfather, white as a ghost. He told the grandfather that he had just been informed that he (Drew) was gravely ill, and would he please fulfill a dying man's last wish? The grandfather told him to get lost, so, as the other part of the trick, in a blink, his pigmentation returned. He warned his grandfather to be wary- he would have her. In anger, Drew flung a snake that he had kept hidden, right in front of the grandfather.

Commercial break:

OK, we now return...

"Oh, please. Snakes? We have snakes everywhere." He turned around to a glass tank, and pulled out two snakes to join the first. Drew left, but warned he'd be back. The grandfather, left the room straight afterwards, laughing, but a little scared. As soon as he left the room, Drew's snake ate the other two snakes.

The grandfather was a bit curious to find out why Drew was so anxious. He did some investigating, and before the day was out, he found out that Drew had impregnated the lady. When Drew came back the next day, not only did his grandfather again refuse, but he insisted that Drew's baby be aborted. In sheer anger, at the thought of his children being killed, he performed a trick from the old man, and blood poured everywhere throughout the house.

Drew went to console the girl. "He's making me have an abortion?!?"

"Don't worry, just say you are. You won't be here much longer."

When they were finished cleaning all of the blood out of the house, Drew returned, and, after being refused, filled his grandfather's room with frogs. The old helper asked Drew of the progress. Drew told Him, to which he was asked why he resorted to such immature pranks.

"Well, what should I do?" He was informed to go directly after the grandfather. The next day, Drew returned, his grandfather said no, so Drew did a trick, touched the forehead of the grandfather, and the grandfather wound up with severe lice.

Drew returned, asked if he could go, and was told yes. Drew ran to tell his love the good news, they began to leave, and the grandfather recanted. Such began a general pattern. Drew went on to kill all of the family's animals, cause his grandfather severe skin problems, have the property stormed from all directions with ice cubes, destroy all of the family's crops, and caused a general power failure that lasted for the better part of a week. Each time, the grandfather said yes, then, when the problem was almost over, said no.

Apparently Drew didn't notice the pattern, but the helper was. He told Drew, that during the darkness, to loot the house. This would resolve the lack of payment to the daughter all those years.

So, they robbed the house. Drew was about to go back, when the older one stopped him. He pointed out the pattern. "You will ask, he'll say yes, then he'll renege, it's that simple."

"So, what should I do."

"This time tell him to just be very scared, after he recants."

"OK, what do I do then?"

"Get ready to go, I will do something this time." And of course, the thing went like clockwork. The grandfather changed his mind. Drew scared the grandfather. Shortly thereafter, the older one snipered out Drew's oldest uncle. "Drew, quickly get her, and inform him that you are leaving. He should be in a state of shock." Drew complied, told the grandfather, and then Drew, and the girl ran off protected by her Father.

In amazing speed, the grandfather changed his mind, and ran after them. Well, he drove after them, and caught up rather quickly. "You two are not going anywhere, there's nothing you can do." He was wrong. The abortion that he had ordered, he then discovered, for at that second, the water broke, and the Father carried the two younger ones away, and the grandfather just remained, completely impotent to the situation around him.

END OF STORY

^Well, that story wasn't too long.^ It also wasn't that good either. If I invested more time, it could be better, but I really don't that much. If you did actually read this, I am a bit curious as to when the realization of the allegory hit you. We had this whole class, how the last four books "of Drew," could easily be parallelled to growing up, and\or childbirth.
