My psycho side

The follower

William's POV

        I watched as my mom fell to the ground lifeless. I couldn't do anything to save her. I couldn't help my dad in saving her. We could do nothing but fake our existence.  The love we have for each other, we had to hide. I spent all my childhood training and becoming strong, running my father's business from the background. I was always the shadow that couldn't be brought to light. I hated that I lived under my dad's shadow. Hell, no one knew of my existence except for my mom and dad not even my younger sister knew. She didn't even know she isn't an only child. She doesn't know all the sacrifices we all have had to make just to keep her safe.

        She doesn't know how much she's loved and cared for. Honestly speaking, I was envious of her. She could at least be recognized as a daughter but I couldn't address my parents as other children could. I had to call them by their names and every time I did I would feel that bitter taste in my mouth but as I grew up, I came to appreciate my parents for keeping me a secret because my sister's life is always in danger and I have to protect her. I am glad I am a shadow because this way I can protect her without getting both of our lives on the line and besides she's stronger than anyone I have known my entire life. I know I don't have to worry a lot about her because she can fight her battles all on her own but as they say "Two heads are better than one" and therefore the more there is of us to fight, we shall emerge victorious.

        I watched Camaya fall in to a hole I couldn't pull her out of. She built walls around her that only she could be able to break. I watched her every day grow distant from the world until some new character came to exist. Maya, a much stronger, wilder and psychopathic side of Camaya to which I have grown to like. Maya is more like me, strong, wild and heartless. Always ready to cause pain on anyone. Always ready to take any kind of dangerous activity because of the sheer thrill it holds and brings us. Camaya is weak but she holds the brains so she's not that useless. We need her in every fight we take on, every decision we shall make in the future. For nine years, I built my relationship with her not trying to reveal a lot. I trained Camaya since Maya never once showed up. It was hard but I liked her determination to thrive and for being Camaya, she did great. I couldn't stand being next to her and not doing something even when dad was against it. He forbid me from getting closer to her in fear that I'll reveal what we fought hard to protect that's why the time we spent together was kept a secret. He would find out anyway and he did since he had a way of finding things out and that's what put his whole family in danger.   

     Those men killed mom and tried to kill me too. Thankfully dad had a perfect plan and he made everything work out well although it was a mistake on his men's side. The man that shot Jacob was killed by dad a week after staging my death. The mistake he did is what saved me so I kind of owe him my life. I will never forget that day at the cliff. I saw my sister cry for me. I was happy but very sad to think of the pain she was going through. She had just lost Jacob and then thought she lost me too which wasn't the case. I could only imagine the trauma she would be going through. After I had woken up from a two month coma, she was the first person I had asked about. Whether she was fine or not. Father had a way of exaggerating everything so the enemy would believe and I was scared that he may have hurt her in a way and since I woke up I have been keeping an eye on her. Followed her every where she went. I wasn't able to keep an eye on her on the day she was getting engaged to Jeff because I had been somewhere and every night I regret my decision. I am haunted by her cries for help. If only I was there. I promised that the day I would have Jeff in my hands, he would regret ever being born into this world. Every day since the engagement I have only been preparing for that day. 

PRESENT DAY

            "Where are you right now?" Larry asks through the phone, his voice much deeper than I remember. We speak quiet often especially when he has new plans or missions for me to carry out but as far as I know we didn't plan anything so why would he be calling?

            "I am home." I reply which is a lie. I am standing just behind Maya who is trying to find her way from The Miller's to Jeff's house. How I know she's going there is because that's how much she is like me. I knew for sure the moment she woke up she would be looking for the devil himself. I don't blame her. I am blood thirsty for Jeff right now after what he did. How I know that is through Larry who I have no idea how he figured it out. What I always ask him is why he let it happen in the first place. I just hope he didn't let it happen because he wanted the enemy to believe his little acts he's been pulling for as long as I can remember. No, I doubt it is that because he loves us too much although he has his way of showing it which no one would understand unless you knew what he was going through.

           "Don't lie to me Will."

           "Since you know my whereabouts why ask me?" Sometimes he really gets on my nerves. I am sometimes tempted to strangle him but he's too old for that. Besides if he dies, Maya will be in more danger.

          "WILL,"

          "Father come on, will you just let me be. I am safe and so is Maya. I am just making sure she doesn't get herself into trouble. You very well know how she can be. Don't worry we are safe." He sighs slightly after my confirmation. He has been worried sick ever since I dropped Maya by the Miller's front gates. He seems to have aged even more these two days.

         "You be careful." I nod as if he can see me through the phone and hung up immediately before I get noticed. Maya walks a little faster having noticed someone is keeping tabs on her and a small smile stretches across my face. That's my sister. I give her the benefit of doubt when she takes a left turn and make myself less obvious. By the time she gets home, I leave because I know father's around and she's safe there. As I turn around to go home, I notice from the gate's mirrors that someone has been following us. Shit. How could I have let my guard down?

    I put my mask on properly, making sure my face is all covered up and as slowly as can be move away from the front of the house waiting for Maya to completely disappear into the house. I notice the man that followed us is a bit tall and built, more built than me but obviously shorter than me. I am a six foot one and that is some really good height. I got it from my father since he's a six foot even with old age, he's huge. Mom and Maya are the shortest in the family, even our grandparents were of the tall gene. That aside, I could have sworn I saw that man somewhere but can't place my finger on it. How long has he been following us? I was sure I was careful until about 5km before we reached here. Oh My God, he must be one of Jeff's friends. Yeah I am sure I saw him with Jeff. Damn, I must stop him before he gets to Jeff and tells him about Maya.

   I follow him closely until I am sure we are far away to attack him without making a scene and causing suspicion. I lunge for him from behind and knock him out immediately. He sure is very heavy. I pull him to a narrow path and lay his body there.

            "Hello Walker? I need your help right now." I say after he picks up on the third ring.

            "What now?"

            "Bring me a car. I am near Larry's place. Get here in five minutes." I instruct and hung up waiting for him to arrive.
