Thunder crashed

Lightning struck

Rain poured down like a rushing waterfall.

A night for a perfect nightmare. As many thought Acronix would have such nightmare that would keep him awoke. But it was Krux who had troubled thoughts.

He sat in the quiet room, crying his heart out from the dreadful nightmare. His twin and the Ninjas are out for preparations. Krux didn't want to join.

He still feels unwanted by the city, by the Ninjas, by his brother. And those pained thoughts struck a nightmare that caused him to have a panic attack.

Reliving the nightmare of Tc attempted a murder against his twin by his own hands. Reliving the nightmare of the snake generals. Reliving the Serphanteen Wars. It all came back to him and crushed him like an avalanche.

Strands of hair stuck to his forehead by how sweaty he was, his breathing is harsh and he can only let out a few wheezes. He struggled to take a few deep breaths, but after a few minutes he was able to get his breathing straight his fists had a hold of the blankets. His body trembled like a leaf.

"Fuck...", he muttered out, it surely wasn't the first time he had to calm himself down.

He rested his hands and looked off to the distance, remaining silence. Picking up his pocket watch, he looked at the time. Its still realitivily late, so he got up from his bed and headed to the door. Needing a glass of water to sooth his body and to clear his mind.

Opening the quiet door, he walked out into the dark hall that only lit up by the lightning. The floor cold to the touch by his bare feet walking on it, but he didn't seem to mind at all. Though he had an uneased feeling. Like someone was watching him. He eventually stopped midway of the hall and turned around. But nothing was there.

The feeling never went away. He knew this play well. Before he turned around, he kicked his leg back and pulled it around, back to the front of him. He pulled someone down for that move. He usws the same leg to press against the person chest and looked directly at them with calmed eyes.

But his eyes widen in shock to see his twin under his foot. But the laughter that erupted from the male on the floor didn't sound like him at all. "Nice to see you again Krux." Tc chirped. "The fuck do you want?! I thought you was gone!" Krux yelled in anger. Pressing his foot harder. But it didn't faze the creature who took disguise as his twin. "Funny. Acronix had the full element but he failed. Just like your mother-" he was cut off with Krux slamming a fist into the creatures face. "Dont you DARE talk about my MOTHER like that!" Krux raged, throwing another fist into the creatures face.

But the creature morphed into its real form and had a hold of his fist. Krux got lifted into the air by the arm, which sent a spike of pain through his body. The creature rose up and grinned. It's body collected and not runny. "Shameful. You hate to know the truth. She really did fail. If she didn't. I wouldn't of been here. But you both was being developed, so she had to back down. Just to save your precious lives. Which I oh-so desire to destroy." The creature tilted its head and examined the man who tried desperately to get out of the grip.

But a loud yell came from the same man as he was throw against, and through the wall. Into the dining room table, breaking that too. It was only matter of time before Wu came out to investigate. "You are lucky this time around. But I'll make sure to ruin your precious younger brothers life. But for now.." the creature started, before extending its arm to grab a knife. The arm retraced and eventually stabbed his shoulder. Making him cry out in agony. "Lets make it known. I'm back."

The creature disappeared into nothing, Wu just now came into the room. "Krux! What happened?!" The elder exclaimed, running to the others side, who yanked out the knife without a second thought. He tensed up big time by the rush of pain. "I..its back.." he muttered out finally, Wu helped thr man up and took him into his private quarters. He sat the man down on a pillow and went to grab the first aid.

Krux took off his shirt and ripped it, as it was already ruined. He put some in his mouth and uses the larger piece to press against the wound. He gritted his teeth and let out a growl from pain. It was unbearable by this point. Wu sat down infront if him and had to remove the cloth so he could clean the area with acidtone. Krux remained gritting the cloth in his mouth. Looking away just so his mind can ease, somewhat. But it didn't do good by the stinging pain.

"Who did this...what do you mean it's back?" Wu asked as he bandaged up the area after placing a patch over it. "Tc.." Krux muttered out after a long strain of silence. It shocked wu, he thought the creature was gone as well. But the same process is the same result. "Seems like it wants revenge. From what happened." "Clearly." Krux said sarcastically. He got up, even though wu wasn't finished.

"Krux sit down." Wu demanded strictly, Krux stood still, he wanted to be stubborn. But he didn't want to go around with a hanging bandage. He complied and sat down, his black hair sticking to his face. But by this point, he didn't care. It was messy as it is anyways. Wu finished up with the bandage and now finally let Krux walk off. He didn't expect a thank you. But a small, "Thank you", actually did happen when Krux left the room.

Krux didn't felt like he wanted to be alone. But he didn't want to be in Wu's presence. It didn't feel right. The thoughts steered back up, and the agonizing pain in his shoulder wasn't doing well for him. He had to tell the others as well, but with such an important event coming up for his brother. He couldn't.

It was like the creature was antagonizing him all over again. And it was true. Tc's intent was to break down Krux. Then move onto Acronix. And doing this silently as it could.

Krux headed into the room with the broken wall. Having his throat dry from everything that had happened. And also that he woken up not long ago.

Getting himself some water, he sat down at the table. There was no way in hell he will sleep now. And there was no chance will he ruin his brothers day. But he couldn't. But he should. He was confused, but now angered. "God dammit. Why am I foolish.. why did I do this.. we could of had a normal life." He whimpered, covering his face. He was ashamed.

And he was feeling useless. More or less. Depressed. Like he didn't belong, nor that did he deserve to remain alive like his brother wanted.

He should of stayed dead, that's his belief...

Silverlings! Hello! I'm sorry that I've discontinued the book. I had no motivation for this book. But I decided to give you all my 50th chapter. It's short but it's all I had.

If you want to see more. Share and leave a comment! Plus if you have ideas, drop them down below! I'll try to continue this book. But my last school year is starting soon, and my work is in the way. So likely I wouldn't focus much on this.

BUT I still post [try to] on my Instagram. _Smol_Owl_ so check me out there! Love you all.
