2. Where it all began (Part 2)

     A/N: :) as I am filled with ideas I am going to continue to write this once more. And please forgive me for any gramma mistakes I have have just didn't notice. I try to go back and proof read my work. 

     You woke up on the hard cold floor surrounded by crimson red liquid, that is enough to snap you back to reality. 

     Right.. your brother died yesterday.. 

     You stood up carefully life your brother to your shoulders, you slowly walked to the forest near where you lived and start digging a grave for him. As you cannot afford getting caught being alone underage. This just have to do. After digging you gently placed your brother into the middle of the hole and combed his soft hair to a nicer display. Maybe this will be his final resting place far away from where he was brutally scared and murdered. Placing his hands onto of each other you stood outside of the makeshift grave and bowed to your brother in respect. 

     'Yurei, May you rest in peace for you suffered far too much. I swear I will not rest until I find out why these people are coming after us.' You muttered to yourself. You then kneeled onto the ground placing your hands to the ground as well you bowed forward in honor the traditions your parents used to teach you when you were small. 

     First bow to the deceased: To show respect. 

     You stood up and place dirt into your brother's grave and walked over to bowed fully onto the ground again. 

     Second bow: to let go of the pass and welcome the future

     You repeated the process each time consist of ten times you constantly muttered chants used in funerals from where you grew up in. The elders says it is suppose to allow the ones who passed away to rest in peace to no long linger the earth to suffer to wander endlessly mindlessly.

     Third, Fourth, fifth bow: represent the cycle of one's birth, the new birth, the adulthood and the old age. 

     After the fifth bow you have already fully covered your brother's lifeless body and he is fully covered in soil to return to the heavens safely in the guides of guardian sprits. 

     Sixth, seventh, Eight and Ninth bow: To honor their legacy, to held their memories close and to pass on the tale

     After using stones in the forest to create a tomb like outline, you proceed with the last bow. You looked up to the sky and gave a slight bow, looked towards the left and gave a bow to the right another one and finally you faced towards your brother's tomb and kneeled down and fully bowed once last time.

     You stood up and placed a wooden plank, carved with your brother name and his date of birth and his date of death, in front of his tomb. Turning around from his tomb, you walked towards your house and hear the police serin and you knew you have to pick up the pace if you don't want to get caught and be thrown back to the horrid system of foster care. 

     As you sneaked into your house through the back door you grabbed the matched from yesterday and rushed up to your room. The police seemed to be busy with something at the front of your front door. That would buy me some time you thought as you quickly grabbed your backpack and placed money, your phone and charger and your notebooks of some research of this legend you been looking into and some weapons you got from the old couple, the same couple that took you. Strapping on a belt and a fresh change of clothes you tuck on your boots and you climbed onto the roof through the attic which is connected to the roof of the house. 

     Without second thought you took out the matched from before and lit one up and threw it onto the roof and lit another one and another one until there is a small fire on the rooftop. As if the universe understood what you wanted to do a huge wind blew the fire seed all across the places of the house lighting up everywhere. The police at the front door panicked and rushed into your house, seeing this you jumped from your roof top and landed onto the ground and made a run for it.
