The very same night, Red son returned home drenched in sweat after running home from Mk. Why was he running? He couldn't explain it. He just felt as though he had to run.
As he enters Iron fan stands still. "So?"
Red sons heart dropped. He hadn't brought back any information. He stood there as a stuttering mess until Iron was able to decipher what he was saying.
She suddenly grabs him by the neck and drags him out of the room and through the halls as he choked and struggled. He knew where she was taking him.
He was tossed into a small room filled with mirrors. His least favorite room.
"STAY IN HERE UNTIL YOU LEARN HOW TO BE AN OBEDIENT SON." She slams the door
Red grabbed his neck in pain and looked around. In the mirrors, all he saw was a pathetic weak creature, sweating, panting and shaking. He was ashamed. This couldn't be him. He couldn't be weak. He buried his face in his knees to try to forget the image he refused to believe as himself.
Each time he opened his eyes, everywhere was that pathetic boy.
He soon learned that he didn't fear his family, but Redson feared himself.
He feared his weakness. He feared his shame, he feared his pain.
After coming to that conclusion, his fear turned to aggression.
He quickly punched the mirrors. As one smashed, the blood from his fist poured out, but he didn't care. He kept destroying each and every mirror until all that remained were shards of glass and blood that coated the empty room. He gripped his head with his hands coated in blood. And panted almost screaming, even so, he refused to cry.
it felt like years had passed yet it all happened in the span of just a few hours. The second he heard the door click, he ran out and hugged his mother. "I'm sorry..I love you.." he sighed. She hugged him back before glancing Into the room filled with blood and glass.
"You made a mess." She said angrily slowly digging her nails back into his back, reopening the wounds and causing blood to pour back down his back. He flinched but didn't show pain in any way.
"Did you learn your lesson?" Iron fan looked back down at him calmly. Red son nods and grips onto his mother like a baby. "He trusts me now, mother. I'm able to do this."
She nodded and finally let go of his bloody wound "go now, then. You need time to plan. Time to focus."
He quickly sped walked to his room to bandage the wound once more. He glanced at his clock which read 3:00 in the morning.
He rushed out of the castle into the night air once more as the door slammed behind him.
"Don't disappoint me again." Iron fan mumbled.
