Alternate Change

Chapter 16

"I like to bake and here's a cupcake. That is one thing that I like to make. Oh hello there, can we be friends? I hope the fun will never end."

Lily sang while sitting, moving her legs back and forth. No one knew except for Mr. Great and Mr. Sheen that she was the one who killed various victims. As she remembered the victims that she killed, she felt bad.

'Well, it was their fault for swearing. I never tried to say bad words because I never liked the idea of it. It just sounds so wrong, especially when they try to hurt someone's feelings like that. Even though that it could be just a joke, I always feel hurt about it.' Lily thought as she played with her hair.

'I never wanted to hurt anyone, but since they are the ones who are bullying, saying bad words and bad things, especially about me, I can't help it and I start to go insane. The next thing that I know is that I start playing with people until I take their lives. The ones who survived are the ones who apologized for what they had done. I never meant for myself to be this way. I was just created to be like this.' Lily sighed and started humming again.

She was taking a break from her concerts, so Mr. Great gave her permission to do anything she would like. She decided to rest in a house near a field. Mr. Great agreed to this without holding her back. She spends most of her time creating more songs to sing, but takes a rest every now and then.

"I like the scent of fresh air." Lily said as the wind blew her hair.

She was feeling the gentle breeze on her skin and observed the sky. She watched the clouds as they pass by and change their form from time to time. She would just enjoy the serenity of the passing moments like this.

"You seem to be enjoying your time..."

She looked behind and saw another person walking towards her.

"Oh hello there, Tray!" Lily smiled and greeted.

Tray smiled back, but was stopped and pushed by Dor.

"That is very rude, Dor..." Tray said as he frowned.

Dor just threw him an empty look and looked at the pink haired girl.

"I'm sorry to disturb you, Mar-" Dor stopped.

Lily tilted her head in confusion. Dor realized his mistake and decided to correct himself.

"I mean, Lily." Dor looked away as he already missed his dear friend Mari.

He decided to drag his brother along with him to have a talk.

"What did you do that for?" Dor asked.

"I'm the one who's supposed to ask you that!" Tray retorted.

Dor looked away. Tray noticed this and decided to ask something.

"You thought I was going to do something to her, didn't you."

Dor did not reply, so Tray just sighed and continued.

"Look, I was only trying to talk to her. Do you really think I'd still do that?"

Still, Dor didn't try to speak, but Tray continued.

"Dor, I already changed. I stopped using the happy medicine like you said. I know I'm problematic, but that doesn't mean I can't change. If you think that I'm still that person, then no, you are wrong. But it really is my fault that we've been like this. I have let my emotions get ahead of me. Trying to forget all that I did was a bad mistake."

Dor turned around and crossed his arms, not agreeing with his statement. Dor thought he was only playing with his words, but he wasn't.

"No. Not just bad. The worst. Taking shortcuts is not a very good idea. I definitely am such an *****. I know we had a lot of misunderstandings and I failed you as a brother. But, I promise you this. I will try not to do anything reckless. Yes, try. And I apologize. I'm really, really sorry." Tray said with sincerity as he turned around.

He started walking away, but stopped for a moment.

"I know you won't forgive me. I blame myself anyway." he said as he walked away.

Dor didn't notice his tears running down his cheeks until he wiped his eyes. As he saw his brother getting out of the room, he called his name.

"Tray!" Dor shouted as he ran towards his brother.

Tray turned around, only to be punched in the guts.

"Okay. I definitely deserved that..." Tray flinched as he clutched his stomach.

"I forgive you, you jerk!" Dor huffed.

Tray smiled as he hugged his brother, despite the pain. Dor patted his back and broke free from the hug.

"Hey, don't get too touchy or I might as well punch you again." Dor said while backing away.

"Oh come on!"

Dor shot a glare on his brother.

"So, as I was planning. Let's escape from father and might as well get out of this place. Sounds good?" Tray said.

"I'm way ahead of you. I already planned that out. Everyone we know are also going. I've already prepared the schedule." Dor replied.

"Nice! Are we going to use the yacht?" Tray asked.

"You bet!"

'But, how about Mari?' Dor thought, worrying about his dear friend.

"Of course she is coming!" Tray replied.

Dor slightly blushed at his brother's reply, but kept a stoic expression.

"Wait... how did you know?" Dor asked about his reply.

"Twin telepathy? Well of course I can see the blush!" Tray exclaimed.
