More darkness

It has been few years since all the horrible things have happened in Richard's life. Nevertheless, those memories would still strangle him every night. But he believed time heals everything. His wounds were now covered by the ointment time has given on it. He was learning to move on. However, his mindset was changed. He wanted his curse to become a blessing; something that would help other people in need. After all the things he has gone through, he now doesn't want a single human to feel the same things. Even though he was mentally broken, a new and ideal human being had taken a birth within him.

Things were now normal. Like any other teenage boy, he was going to school, studying, watching anime, playing video games.

-------------------------------------------------------------

It was just like any other. He was walking through the corridor of the school when he saw George. George has always been a quiet kid and bullied by the school thugs. However, today he seemed unusually quiet and sad. Richard could understand something is definitely wrong. George was hiding something deep and dark within him. After the things he has endured, Richard's inner self insisted to help George. But he had to careful to not hurt him

"Are you alright George? Can I help you?"

George's expression changed something that was incomprehensible by Richard. He behaved as if Richard had asked something which he shouldn't have. Richard has never seen such a fierce expression on his face-- as if he was extremely angry. He had to convince George that he was a safe spot. He was trustworthy. However, he seemed like a pressure cooker which might explode any time. Richard had to take every step very carefully. The day went by while he watched George carefully.

George

Richard examined me the entire day and there is no way he is giving up any sooner. I must do something to divert his attention towards something else. He must not know the dark truth hidden inside me as this will bring disgrace in my family. My little sister will also have to face the consequences. There is no way I can make things harder for her.

" The dinner is ready George! Come downstairs" said mom

But I was scared to face that person at the dinner table. Pretending that everything is normal wasn't easy for me. I had to let this secret be inside me forever even though I just wanted my mom to know what her son is going through. I had to act normal.

As I claimed down the stairs, the bright smile on his face welcomed me. However, only I was being able to see the darkness and the evilness behind that smile. His smirk made my body shiver. I didn't know why I was protecting him. He must have taken this as my weakness. But there is nothing I can do. All the time I was eating my dinner, I felt his eyes examining my body through my clothes. I hadn't felt more exposed. His sexual desires were so intense that he barely remembers our relation while he is in the moment. But in front of the entire family? This is so unacceptable! I choked on food

"What's wrong honey? Are you alright?"

"Yes mom. I am fine"

Even though I was unsafe in my own house, I had to pretend as if everything was alright. We were finally done with our dinner. Katherine took the dishes away and went to the kitchen to help my mom. I just wanted to be with mom for a longer time as it was the only spot where I felt safe and untouched my the cruel monster. When I was getting up, I felt a breathe on my neck slowly moving towards my ears

" You shall now come to my bedroom boy. You must satisfy me as the master has summoned his slave"

Slave. Yes. That's exactly what I was now. I was just his sex slave. He would do anything with me while I would just stare him doing it. I had to follow his instructions otherwise he wouldn't pay for Katherine's surgery. Katherine has a hole in her heart and she needs immediate surgery. Things in our family aren't great. I love my little sister and I am willing to do anything possible.

He tied me up with the bed as usual. But this time, the knots were tighter than usual and the rope ascended towards my neck. I could hardly breath. But my words were stolen and buried under the debts and the only way I could bring back my words was to do what I am asked. He went down in order to do things he always does. But today, I had overthinked a lot. A lot was in my head. I just wanted to pour everything out. For how long will I keep all these feelings to myself? I couldn't help but shout

"Dad stop it please. You are hurting me. For how many years are you going to rape your biological son and keep on blackmailing him for paying the bills of our own daughter? Is your fantacy bugger than your family? Mom and Katherine doesn't even matter to you? What about Mom? Have you ever thought about it? This woman has loved you for years and have worshipped you like the ideal man. Little does she know that you are the most filthy creature on Earth who tortures his teenage son. While she is making all the efforts to make this house a better place to live in, you are doing everything possible to destroy all the things she has dreamt of."

Dad paused. I thought this will bring a breeze of realisation in him. How wrong I was! This just gave him another reason to become even more angry. He yelled

"Shut up young boy. You have no idea what's it's like to lie to yourself about your sexuality the entire life. I just had to stand on the expectation of the society and my parents and pretend to love a lady. I was forced into things that was always against my will. My dad never understood me. Why the hell do you think that you could have the things I didn't? Marrying a lady and having kids with her was never my goal. I loved a man and my dad took him away from me. He tortured me. He killed him in front of my own eyes. My own dad destroyed every source of happiness from my life. I only stood there to watch him take his last breath while he said how much he loved me. My old man was always the villain of my life. It's not your fault. It's just your fate that you were born in this cursed family."

Was it really my fault? Why me? And for how many years will it go on?
