Alter Ego Me

" He's. . .smiling?" Zeke asked Harold as he watch every rush, yet gentle move of Ethan. Ethan covering Faith's eyes with his right hand as he continue attacking his cousins that surround him, as fast as he could, throwing and swinging knives to push them back, barely hanging in there with his actions minimized by Faith's presence. Harold didn't answer his father's question, he watched Ethan in awe instead, too focused to hear his surrounding.

' How. . .?'

" Clyde!" Ethan shouted, then he mouthed, " Fa-ith". With that, a portal underneath Faith was created by Clyde, it sucked her in and was returned to the table, Angelo calmed her down with a hug and caressing on her back.

' I really am not suited for protecting. . . How funny!'

A wider smile formed on Ethan's face, again, revealing four sharp fangs, making him look more psychopathic. Crimson eyes flaring in ecstasy met with crimson eyes filled with wary.

All 19 were dynamically attacking, the three power holders were a meter back of the bunch, due to the 15 close combat cousins that block their eyes from the target even while above them, the five started attacking whoever's in their way from attacking Ethan, and with that as a loophole, Ethan took the opportunity to run wild and destroy whatever's in front, like a wild beast finally out of chain facing sweet, sweet freedom once more.

With a few lives taken, a few bones broken, a few heads flying, a few fear awaken, and a few pride shaken from a few screws loosen, a massacre has happened.

He stood in the middle, unscathed but covered in blood. Sounding so cliche. . .But there's no way someone who lost all sanity can be defeated. . .Especially someone so aggressive inside.

" Haah. . . Fuck! Now I've done it!" Ethan(2) cursed as he wiped off the stinky blood all over him. " Oh well, might as well enjoy this while it lasts!" Ethan(2) grinned, his eyes wandering all over the place, counting the heads he's planning to send flying.

" Now!! Run!! " Angelo shouted, pointing at Ethan(2). Faith came running towards Ethan(2). Unexpectedly, Ethan(2) only watched her coming and hugging his waist.

Faith's innocent face looked up at him, he pinched her cheek, and blood from him transferred to her, he looked mesmerized, but it was hidden by the blood all over his face.

" Cute. . ." Ethan(2) complimented, adding another hand to pinch both Faith's cheeks.

" What. . .? So that's why you didn't accept my confession! You were a lolicon!" Jacky acted like crying in defeat, sniffing pitifully.

" ?? . . .Who. . .are you?" Ethan(2) asked cluelessly. Jacky was stunned. ' This asshole not only forgot about my thousands of confessions, he even forgot my name?! '

" You-!" She came closer to them, planning on giving him a slap.

" Haha, you calmed down after looking at someone so cute, you softy!" Angelo teased after stopping her slap and knocking on Ethan's head.

" Angelo! How long has it been?! You're taller than me now!" Ethan(2) complimented Angelo as he continue hugging back Faith who's been hugging him, sitting on the floor.

" Haha. . . It's been eleven years. You're just sitting, that's why you think I'm tall." Angelo offered his hand but Ethan(2) couldn't accept, shaking his head to imply that it was fine.

". . . I don't think I can get up right now, so don't waste your courtesy on me." With a smile, he answered. His crimson eyes wondered sharply at his surrounding where his cousins he doesn't know the name of are regenerating back to life.

Before Ethan's cousins started regaining consciousness, a finger flicked. They glitched out, disappearing. . .

" Ha. . . HAHAHAHAHA!" Two human-like beings sitting next to each other stood up and laughed out loud, filling the air with their laughter.

" SLEEP," Zeke ordered. Everyone excluding him and Harold was sent to Dreamland.

" What the heck was that! Seriously!" Harold shouted.

" That should be my line!"

" What?! Didn't you just talk to him like you want him outta your family?! Why'd that stupid face of yours suddenly show hints of interest?!"

" Well, who would've thought?! Who are you to tell me I look stupid when we literally have the same face! "

The two argued until their voice started to sound hoarse and their breath started to give out . . . Their panting filled the quiet space full of rich sleeping people. Finally, Harold gave him the letter Ethan asked him to give to Zeke, his father. Zeke opened it and saw the words:

/ Dear Grandfather,

I am the only son of Harold Hendrix, a Villain named [Phoenix] and the eldest son of Clara Yeshua, an Angel. My sincerest apologies for causing a ruckus that might have already resulted in you and my father losing breath and voice. I have already erased my name from YOUR family tree, I knew if you've known some way or another about my existence, your anger will rise from the roof to another galaxy. Please be at ease, I shall never show myself to you and shall never be seen again.

A stranger, Ethan./

Looking at the letter, Zeke noticed a mark. He flipped the paper, his pupils shrunk. Although the first letter is cursive and the one he's looking at is printed, both are obviously and undoubtedly from the same person.

/ THE HEAD OF THE HENDRIX FAMILY,

I HAVE RECEIVED YOUR INVITATION TO YOUR FAMILY REUNION. I MUST APOLOGIZE, I HAVE TO COME WITH A DIFFERENT IDENTITY. WE HAVE KNOWN EACH OTHER FOR SIX YEARS NOW. . . I AM SORRY, I WILL BE SIGNING OFF AS MR. FOUNDER.

MR. FOUNDER (NEVERMORE)/

" Shit. . ."

The only word he was able to utter before truly devoured by regret and excitement.

Harold who watched his father making different expressions stole the letter from Zeke's hands and laughed after reading what was in it.

" Damn. . ."

Harold's last words before he's devoured by intense sadness and shock.

The two looked at each other and laughed without a sound, not knowing what to say to each other, they punched themselves.

' Shit. . .We're not dreaming. . .'

Their eyes that looked at one another shared the same sentence in mind.
