"Birdcage"

Ch. 20 - Epilogue - ( I_Love_You )

It was a last day....

A last day I can see him again.

" Seize him! Don't let him escape!

"Brilliam, don't worry.... We can meet up over in the top of the hills,"
"No brother! Bro-brother Don't leave me behind...," I histerically cried.
"Shhh,shhh, don't cry.Just imagine me I'm there with you,"
"Don't make that face," he hoarse.
I look at his face with my mouth holding back to cry, I touch them to remember everything.his eyes,nose shape,the grown up jaw of his and last the structure of his big young body .( Even though mine hadn't grown that much)
"Brother, make sure to come back,okay?" I've whined pitifully.

He softly Chuckled

"Hmm." He nod and smiled then he let go both my hands and push me. " Go!,"

My body that were slowly pushed move like in a slow motion, as if the time were being slowed. I don't want to let go of his hands but some one grabbed my back, and it was Peter. He help me to escape. Ginger got surprised but he smiled a sign to Peter that he will entrust me to him. It was the last moment I saw him. He smiled and drip a tears on his face and wipe it. He runned from a different direction and distract the Hunters. Peter and I runned and runned until we reach the main gate. Ahh... This is...the last time I will Passed in this gate. I felt an deep urges of sadness that wants me to come back,but I had to run away. At that moment I touch the structure of the gate with a feeling of nostalgia." Come back, brother...."

(Hah-hah-hah)....

We're here already in the top of the hills waiting for my brother. I've wait and wait and wait until the morning rise. He's still not here. I'd still wait for him to come back,but he's still not here.
" Don't push yourself so hard...," Peter worried.

I was sitting under the shade of a tree In my pants crotched and whispered his name,"brother...".
*Something fell off his pants*
What's This? Isn't this his Gift he gave me? He Said I can open it if we got outside but I want us together to open it...
I hesitate to open the box but I'd still open it. what I found was a book,"The grimoire of two Boys", a book he was busying making a years ago, I smiled, did he write this for me.
I read this later once the matter settled in.

"There he is! Catch him!"
(The hunters are holding and restraining ginger not to escape). " Ugh!"
I should had kissed my little brother before he left. Sigh- I want to see him. His arm cut off but it went back. Ginger is resisting them and trying to escape. Ugh! I can't use my power, I'm completely exhausted. I can't take as many as them to fight off. Brilliam..... I hope you escape.
"not here! Try in the heart!".
" No! Not there!hey!"
Before he could do anything he got stab in the heart through the stake and turn into ashes.
"B-Brilliam...I'm sorry I couldn't keep my promise..." He saddened.
The sun rise and the cloud were orange, you could hear the agony of someone died.
"What the?".
What happened?.
He's a no ordinary human being, there's a myth that once a monster die, they will turn into ashes.
"Ah! I g-guess so".
Ohay! Let's go back, lets tell this good news to the Church

I saw a number of people coming back through the West with a happy face and thought my brother make it,but it was just a number of hunters. I shuddered and kneeled down disappointed. " Wh-what happened!," I shook. " Where's my brother,"
Peter lend his arm to comfort me. I grabbed it and started to panic. "I had to go back!"
No! It's dangerous there to go back!" Peter shouted.
No! I must! The hunters are already gone in there anyway.

I runned back through the house and the moment I step In, I no longer feel alive.
"N-no!! I cried. "Brother!!!!!!!
I saw our lovely house collapse and brought to destruction. I no longer feel his presence. Only his ashes remain.( There's a twist that once a vampire leave the house without your siblings or beloved and the heart was pierce by a hunters, a being like vampires will eventually Die and remained forever into an ashes.)
"T-this is Brother....ashes,"
"No!No!No!No!!!" I Cried loudly.
"I knew it!I knew it!I shouldn't had lefted without him!"
"It's okay brilliam, he did that for you own good sake."
"B-but.....I can't live without him,".
I cried loudly as desperate as I want, but that cry can't bring him back anymore.
"It's useless.... Crying can't solve anything.."
" It's okay, you can just live with me, I can take a good care of you," Peter said. I collected the remaining ashes and put it inside the box Of the gift he gave me together with the book.
That day and that before night...

.....I no longer feel alive.

(The Present after ten years, Peter is 28)

I was in the tower, and I was imagining my brother touching me,longing for him desperately.I was standing and holding a thorns in a tall roof of a tower near the Big Manor of Peter after he ascended the noble lord title.

Air passes through my hair. I sung a lullaby as we used both to sing together. It was my farewell to the world. Im still blaming myself for what happened. I'm manage to live this long for I long to meet my brother again, but he didn't came back, neither his ashes formed. He's really gone. It's Just my imagination his alive. Thankfully I realized thanks to peter. and no, I don't hate Peter. I wish I didn't lead him on to fall for me like that. Sorry too Peter for being dense.

Peter was looking for me and saw me standing in a tower. B-brilliam! Don't!is dangerous!"
I shouldn't ignored the fact the brilliam is going to be okay. I thought he is okay since he doesn't cry anymore. But that silence on him over this ten years has a meaning. He planned to die. He always mentioned him that his brother is alive. He is mentally sick.
Dammit!

I always plan to do this, but I can't find the right moment for because he still here. Brother is beside me. he's telling me to come with him. But of course is just my sickness.I can't tell whether is the reality or not. A years ago Peter tried to convey and push the truth that he's dead. Yet I still believe he will come and be alive but it turns out I was really slowly becoming mentally sick. A problematic mental disorder. Which in a vampire case, it's called a hallucinations of a vampire. He called over a doctor from a different countries but I didn't take any medications that prescribe for me. It only make things worse than before.

And so,

I jump, and Peter eyes got smaller. I heard a his voice whispering with his body hugging me and saying my name Brilliam very mellow ,with a voice of my brother the way he used to call me before. And Before I fall down apart I sung the last sentence of the song of our theme lullaby.

" Long as your blood be ours alone..

You'll see us ever from below...

Humming...... "

.....and thus I died. with a rose stab in my chest. And my last word are...

...... I love you brother, Finally I can see you a....gain.....
