"Nothing is as it seems~"

Ash's POV

I gasped and my eyes snapped open as panic coursed through my body, I quickly skimmed the room to see white walls and ceiling, white curtains and beeping. I twitched my fingers against the bedsheet? I furrowed my eyebrows in confusion as pain shot through my entire body. I grit my teeth and hissed in pain as tears pricked my eyes as I heard hushed whispers and murmurs around the room.

I slowly sat up and looked down at my hands, my scarred human hands. I felt my heart drop as my hands began to tremble in fear and panic.

'how...how...HOW?! HOW AM I HUMAN AGAIN?! WHERE IS AUSTIN!? OH GOD, WH-' I winced harshly and whimpered as my head began to pound heavily as my hands gripped my head in pain. My tears rolled down my cheeks as panic flooded through me as my breathing began to fasten rapidly. I flinched harshly when hands gripped my shoulders tightly, I growled and swung my fist in their direction and connected to someone.

"oof!" A voice that I had dreaded from my childhood had grunted in pain, I flinched and whimpered as I crawled away from the voice as I curled into a ball on the bed as I heard a quiet murmur. My tears flowed down my cheeks as I hugged my scarred and burnt legs close to my chest, my thoughts swirling around until everything went silent besides the beeping of a machine.

'...a hospital...I'm at a hospital...and she is here' I thought as my body trembled in fear, suddenly I frowned as I looked up and stared at the ceiling in dread. '...where is my baby brother?'

2 weeks later

I stared at my shoes as I heard 'mother' talk to the doctors happily, the same mask and the same grip on my shoulder that would cause a bruise. I scoffed silently as I yanked my shoulder away from her hold and walked out the building as 'mother' called out to me. I continued to walk as I looked around to see nothing but humans, filthy disgusting humans. I sneered and continued to walk towards the closest forest and away from the whore that 'raised' me.

I sighed heavily as I looked up at the sky in grief as tears pricked my eyes and rolled down my cheeks as I gripped my chest, my soul. I collapsed onto my knees not caring about the cuts it caused or the pain that exploded from my kneecaps. I curled into a fetal position and screamed my lungs out as my tears escaped my eyes.

'It hurts, it hurts! nothing makes sense! WHERE IS AUSTIN!? WHERE IS MY FATHER!?'

I continued to scream and cry in the middle of the forest as I ignored the quiet whispers of Tin apologizing over and over because I knew, I knew he wasn't there. The pain in my heart was too heavy to bear, the sadness of being back in hell, the anger and hatred I felt towards the woman who bore me in her stomach was unimaginable and I wanted nothing more than to go back to my family's side once more.

To their side.

to my lover's sides.

but...

I knew that wasn't possible anymore...

"We are sorry, ma'am but...your brother." The doctor looked down as he wore a sad expression. I felt my heart shatter at his expression, hoping and praying to any god. "He didn't make it...I'm so sorry, we did everything we could to save him but he was too far gone."
