The Dangerous Son

Once upon a time, there was a son named Angelo who was 12 year old. Since the death of his mother and father, he was sent to Los Angeles to live with James, his uncle and Susan, his aunt. James and Susan had a son named Potter who was in the same age with Angelo and a daughter named Jane who was younger than Angelo. James and Susan also had a third son named Richard who passed away when he was 3 years old because of drowning in the pond.

Angelo and Potter got along each other. Potter seemed to be nice and kind. In discussing the death of Angelo's mother and Potter's brother, however, Potter began to show his violent behavior that made Angelo worried.

Later, Potter approached Angelo and said, “I really hate Jane. She always takes our parent’s attention. Especially my mother, she really loves Jane. I feel like I’m being forgotten.”

“Come on, Potter. You are not a kid anymore. However, you have grown to be a strong son. You must not hate Jane. She is your only sister.” said Angelo.

“I don’t care. I really hate Jane. Even though she is my sister, I will kill her”. Potter said angrily.

Potter wanted to kill his sister because his mother really loved her.  Something bad might happen to Jane. Then Angelo spent the night in Jane’s room to keep her safe.

 The next morning, Angelo woke up but he did not find Jane on her bed. He looked for Jane in every corner of the house, but still, he could not find her. He went outside until he found Jane in the big field. He saw Jane and Potter were about to get onto a helicopter that was ready to fly. Angelo was very afraid if Potter really wanted to do his plan to kill Jane. Angelo ran quickly toward the helicopter and he made it, he got into the helicopter. He saw that Jane was very excited about being in helicopter. After a few minutes, suddenly Potter pushed Jane until she hung down in the corner of helicopter’s door. Angelo startled and tried to help Jane. He tried to reach Jane’s hand, but it was very difficult. Then he took paragliding so embraced Jane and fortunately they arrived on the land safely.

The next day, while Angelo was taking a bath, Potter asked Jane to do ice skating. However, Jane was still afraid to go with his brother, Potter. Potter tried to persuade her and apologized for his careless. After thinking for a while, Jane forgave him. She thought that Potter was her only brother. Then she wanted to go with him for doing ice skating.

At the ice skating place, Potter purposely threw his sister in the thin ice. Suddenly the ice collapsed, Jane sank and disappeared in the cold water before she could be rescued and taken to the hospital. Unfortunately, she was died. Susan hesitated that Potter killed Jane. She came into Potter’s room and talked with him.

On the same day, Susan found a rubber ship in Potter's box. It belonged to Richard and it was with him in the pond at the night he drowned, but it was lost. She remembered the toy that once belonged to Potter before it was given to Richard. Suddenly, Potter came into that room. When he saw his mother was holding the rubber ship, Potter asked her to give it back to him but Susan refused to do so. Then he tried to wrest it from Susan. Susan became scared because of Potter’s attitude. He took it by forcing from Susan, ran out of the room and threw it in the well.

Next day, Potter asked Susan to go for a walk with him, while Angelo followed them. On the way, Susan asked Potter whether he had killed his brother or not. After hearing that, Potter indirectly implied he killed Richard by replying, "What   if I did?" Horrified of what her son had done, Susan told Potter that he must get a help from a psychiatrist. However, Potter took his gun and wanted to shot himself. “I prefer die than being sent to see a psychiatrist”.

 Susan approached him because she was afraid he would try to shot himself. However, Potter held his mother and wanted to shot her by using his gun.

Suddenly, Angelo came and fought with Potter while Susan tried to break up them. In the middle of the fight, Potter wanted to shot Angelo but her mother took his gun and unintentionally she shot him. Susan was really startled. She phoned an ambulance to take him to the hospital. However, Potter could not be rescued and he died. Finally, after the death of Potter, Susan appointed Angelo to be her step son. He felt very happy for being one of the member of  Susan's family and they lived happily.
