"Zane turn around! I wanna show you something!"
"Don't throw anything at me then, Garroth!"
"I won't! Just turn around, I made something cool!"
"Alright"
"VYLAD GRAB HIS ARMS!"
The next thing Zane knew, he was screaming and holding his right eye
Garroth ran over to him and pulled his hand away as Vylad took a few steps back, scared and confused about why his favorite brother was screaming
In Zane's eye was the rock Garroth threw at him, part of it seemed to be stuck in Zane's eye
Garroth, being 8 years old, thought that maybe if he just pulled the rock out then nothing would happen
So instead of going inside to wake their mother up from a much-needed nap Garroth tried to pull the rock out, only for Zane's eye to come out with it and dangle out of Zane's head
All of them screamed and suddenly Zianna burst through the backdoorShe saw her three boys screaming and sobbing, blood covering both of her oldest twos hands
"Oh, my Irene! What happened?"
Zianna said as she ran over to her boys, pulling Zane into a hug as he was sobbing and reaching to her
"W- we were playing! A-and i w-went to thro-ow a r-rock at Zane! And i-it hit his eye!"
Garroth's voice was broken by sobs as he held up the blood-covered rock
Zianna pushed Zane's body away from hers, just to see his right eye dangling out of the socket
"Oh my Irene! Garroth go get in the car with Vylad, right now!"
Zianna picked Zane up and quickly followed her two other sons to the car
That is all Zane remembersThat accident traumatized himHe hated Garroth for itHis eye couldn't be saved, they had to take it out
Even though people didn't know he only had one eye they would always call him Cyclops
He hated it
Garroth and Vylad always got all the attentionAt home, at school, everywhereThe two boys who basically ruined himGarroth half-blinded him while Vylad helped
Today was the 12th year to the day that Zane lost his eye
He is 16, Garroth is 18, and Vylad is 14
Zane tried to ignore the giggling coming from the other side of his door until it was thrown open
Zane snapped his head over to see Garroth in his doorway, a cake in his hands
"Baby brother, I got you something"
"... What is it?"
Zane was sceptical, Garroth never got him anything
Garroth was a bitch to him, always hitting him, playing pranks on him, screaming at him, ruining his things, lying to their father about him, and much more
Garroth slowly walked over to Zane, a cruel smile on his face
Zane's face dropped when he saw the cake
It was a red velvet cake, with red icing on the sides while the top of it was white
On the top of the cake was something
'Not sorry'
Then below that was a picture of an eye next to a bloody rock
'cyclops'
Zane felt tears welling up in his one eye as he stared at the cake
He couldn't even fully process it before Garroth smashed the cake into his face, laughing as he did so
Garroth left his room after that, leaving the door open
