The Lost Child

Chapter 12: George's Wrath

"YOU WHAT?!" George yelled at his parents and Genevieve, "HOW LUCKY FOR CATHERINE TO GO TO WILSTON BUT I'M NOT!"

Genevieve yelled back, "What is wrong with the school you're in now?"

When it was Catherine's first day in the Shire household, he didn't want to talk to her, and when it was her birthday, he refuse to carry the cake for her but he had no choice, his father will give him money if he does what he told him to do.

And when Catherine is announced to be adopted and is officially part of the family, he resented her even more.

"It's because my friends are in Wilston! And I am so lonely in my current school! Why do you favor her so much!"

"We don't have favorites, George!" Said Mary, "If we treated Catherine better than you that means you have done something wrong!"

It stabbed George in the heart, "Why? Did I do something wrong?"

"While Catherine is doing the chores, you always play outside, you are not even helping your sibling, unlike them, you have bad grades, goodness! You are a huge disappointment and do you think we will let you study in Wilston? Grow up!" Arthur yelled at George right in his face.

Their words struck him so much, do they want him to leave because it seems like he is useless?

"It's always them and not me!" There he goes, running to his bedroom.

He locked himself in his room and went wild, he screamed at the top of his lungs that his jaw could crack as he grabs his light furniture and threw it on the ground just to release his anger.

And the whole family heard his tantrum.

Arthur shook his head, "What kind of a son is he? He can't seem to do anything right?"

And they heard him yelling, "I WISH YOU DIE!"

"Oh my goodness" Mary Flinched.

"Don't worry, he just needs to figure himself out" said Arthur.

"I HATE YOU! I HATE YOU ALL! ALL OF YOU DON'T LOVE ME!" And he starts slitting himself, "ONCE YOU SEE ME HANGING ON A TREE, YOU KNOW IT'S YOUR FAULT!"

"Oh my goodness" Alice flinched, "He needs help"

9:55 pm.

Catherine volunteered to do the laundry for George so she could get into his good side.

She entered his room and saw that no one else is there, she picked up a laundry box and walked on her way out, however, there is something that caught her attention.

She stepped back into his room and saw a drawing in George's bedroom.

She placed the laundry box down and grabs George's drawing.

It looks like a drawing of a family getting killed.

But... She took a closer look.

The triplets are beheaded, a girl is stabbed, maybe the girl he drew refers to Catherine, and George holding the knife.

No wonder only the triplets interacted with her and George almost had no interaction with her ever since she got here.

Maybe all those unnoticed and shadow moments of George are just about him planning to kill them just like what she saw on the drawing.

A few minutes later, George heads back to his house only to find his family waiting for him in the living room.

"What's happening?"

Arthur showed him the drawing, "Explain this..."

He gulped, "I DIDN'T DRAW THAT! IT WAS CATHERINE WHO DREW THAT!"
