The world that I cry

Baby. Baby! Please wake up, please." I could feel my eyes starting to open as Morcar shook me really hard.

"What is wrong babe?" I turn over to him and stroke his cheek. "Come on, let's go back to sleep."

"No, no we can't, you don't understand." Morcar's face grew with fear, I started to laugh before he quickly covered my mouth and dragged me into the bathroom.

"What the fuck are you doing? It's late, we need to be up tomorrow." I am more than annoyed at this point, I started to walk over to the bathroom door to go to bed when I heard a crashing noise coming from the top deck. "B-baby? What was that noise." I look at him before he cuddles me and looks me dead in the eye.

"I love you, but I need to go."

"What? Where are you going? I'm coming with you!" I protest. I couldn't let him leave, he is going to get hurt.

"Just trust me on this one, I will be back in five minutes, and whatever you do, do NOT leave this bathroom okay?" I nod my head before he kisses me with his soft lips and then he walks out of the bathroom and out of the bedroom door.

'Stay calm, stay calm. It's okay! You're okay, you're doing great!' I felt like I was losing balance so I placed myself onto the toilet seat and just sat there. A few minutes later I hear the door open and I remain silent. It was probably Morcar. But I remained still, on the toilet lid, and did not move a muscle. I start to squeeze my hands really tight and close my eyes, what the fuck was going on? Why is this happening? I felt myself jump when I heard someone walking into the bathroom door, they did not come close to me, they just stood at the door, I could sense it. I slowly open my eyes to see a tall dark figure, standing against the door.

"Hello darling, I've missed you." He was a man, but who? I didn't know anyone.

"Don't darling me, who are you!"

"Pity you don't remember me, but I'm your brother."

"Not possible, I don't have a brother! So who are you?"

"Wow, after all these years mother and father never told you who I was? Oh wait, it's because they're dead!" He let out a cunning laugh before taking a step closer to me.

"Stay back! What is wrong with you? Don't you care! My parents-"

"Our." He corrects me. I knew he was lying, I knew it for certain.

"No! They're my parents. They never had another child, never!"

"Oh but they did, I was born about a year before you, but when they realised I wasn't what they wanted, they left me. Abandoned me! I suppose you're gonna want proof to prove I am your brother, so here it goes. Look at this tattoo I have, it is engraved on me to signify the family, we all have one. Look at your wrist." I slowly looked down to my wrist to see a tattoo which looked the exact same as his.

"B-brother? What are you doing here? What do you want? Do you need help?" Even though I did not know him, I knew that he was my bloodline, because he had the same tattoo that you can't just get in any old shop, it was engraved into your skin.

"Ohh I'm not here for your help sweetheart, I'm here for you" He started walking closer to me at a fast pace and pulled a knife out of his pocket and stabbed me in the stomach. "I'm here, I'm on this boat, remember that."

"P-please don't leave. I- I can't brea-the. I'm dying." Where is Morcar? My head hurt so much I couldn't think straight anymore. I j-just n-needed to close my eyes and-
