Chapter 5
"Remember cousin Jake?" My brother ask.
"Of course," I mutter as I eat my cereal.
"We'll be seeing him today after school~" He answers.
"O-Oh…" I put down my spoon and stare at my cereal.
"Don't say anything… to draw his suspicion," My brother explains as he wipes off the water on a plate with a towel.
I nod silently and continue to eat my cereal,"Will Emily be coming as well?"
"Yes," He replies.
"Sis is coming?" I repeat.
"Yes, what don't you understand about yes?" My brother yells.
"S-Sorry… I was just trying to clarify…" I mumble and decide it's best not to say anything else.
Once I'm done eating my breakfast I grab my backpack and head out.
I slowly walk to school, because I hate school. The slower I get there, the better.
I'm not like those kids that hate it because I got to use my brain. I hate it because I'm invisible there and when people do decide to talk to me, it's to pick on me.
I sigh and watch a car pass me.
Is this it? Is this my life? I just… want to be happy…
I gulp and a tear drips on the floor. My eyes widen and I wipe away my tears.
"Even the smallest person can change the course of the future…" I mumble,"That's what Gandalf said from Lord of The Rings. Yet, it feels as if I can't change the future. I can't. I-I'll always be… a killer…"
I grit my teeth and continue to walk in silence.
During English, my thoughts continue to wonder and Math is the same thing. I'm stuck with my thoughts. Horrible thoughts.
Today my head is down more than usual and I feel as if all day I'm staring at shoes. My shoes, his shoes, her shoes, the teacher's shoes.
Well of course. My head's down… No coincidence there.
I shove my hands in my pocket and walk home slowly.
"It'd be nice… if one day someone would kidnap me, so that I don't have to go home… to that dreaded place," I mumble.
Last night pops in my head. My thoughts from last night.
There's a murderer in my house.
"Well obviously…" I laugh dryly.
He's the murderer. Kurayami Vauns, my brother, is a murderer and I… am his subordinate.
