This Love, This Hate

Chapter 12

Chapter 12.

I don't know how long Leo stood outside my door. Just talking to me, or atleast trying to. I hugged my knees, my head against the door. My feelings were a jumbled mess. A unbreakable bond we have, but what happens when some one or something severs it? It's not like my heart was broken. I love my brother, that's true. But it's not true love. Even if we are attracted to each other with out compare.. Maybe this whole thing was my fault? I've always been over protective of my brother, especially when girls hit on him, or try too. Shadow, please open the door.. I wiped tears from my eyes, my runny make up. If he really wanted to, he could some how teleport into my room. But I think he understands I need some space. Venus was awfully quiet inside my head.

I got up. I wasn't going to let this get me down. I need to find and kill Daniel Kliffer, but first I need to find a way to become stronger. I put my red converses on, took off my shirt, putting something less fitting on. I took a deep breath, and unlocked my door, and opened it. Leo was standing there, shirtless, jeans on, his tag of 'Joe Boxers' showing. At least, he got off. So now he doesn't have to be a horn dog towards me. I locked eyes with him. Violet on silver. He was blocking my way. "Move." I said. "No" 

I sighed. Was he really going to play this game with me? 

I sighed dramatically. I pushed him, but to no avail, he stood there unaffected. He seemed to tower over me. His breath on my neck. "Move.." I said barely audible. "Do I make you weak?" I scoffed. "More like sick to my stomach." I pushed him again. "Who are you, and what have you done with my innocent, saint of a brother?" I said. "1# I'm not Leo. 2# Call me Drake." He said. I was starting to gag. "Then why do you look like him?" I glared. "-and who the hell is Drake?!"

Venus giggled in my head. I asked again. "Who the hell is Drake?" Venus swooned in my head. "You know how, you have Venus, who appears?" I nodded, and with realization my eyes widened with shock. Why have I never thought about that? I mean we are twins... But I guess, it just didn't ever register.

My eyes were cold and hard. "What do you want?" I asked. "What every man seems to want. You." I scoffed again. "Funny." So Drake is my brother's alter ego, split personality.... I thought to my self. I pushed him with force to get him to move. This time he was against the wall. What does he want? Besides me. I suddenly questioned; what if Leo was changed like I was when Venus first appeared?.. I decided I had to wait and see. But first I needed to head to my library. I walked down the spirally staircase. It lead me down into a grand study, also known as the library. I could sense Drake's.../Leo's eyes on me. "The Kliffer family." I said aloud, and books came out of the bookshelves. They floated in front of me. "Daniel Kliffer". I said, and the books feverishly opened to his family and line of descent.

Daniel Kliffer:

Age: 46  

Hair: Grayish Black 

Height: 6'2'' 

Nationality: English, Human 

Weight: 190 Pounds 

A picture was attached to the inside of the book. I didn't have much information on him. All I had was that. Which was surprising, considering my family has many records of many different people. Maybe when he killed my family; he took his file. That would make sense.

I really needed to get a boyfriend or something. As if he had read my mind Drake said:"ya know, how do you handle one guy; who is your brother." Drake was the typical badass, and the typical guy I would originally go for. I suddenly thought as to how Matt is doing...

Focas Shadow. Find Kliffer, and kill him. My knuckles clenched. "When are you leaving my brothers body?" I asked as I turned around. He looked me up and down. "Oh, when he wants too. I think he likes me being in charge, so he can stare at that curvy body of yours without getting caught. But at las, a forbidden love." He said.

I scoffed. I was not in love with my brother. That would be ridiculous. We have a bond sure. But that's it.

I decided I needed to get out of the house. Go to the public library. I grabbed the files and started walking to the car. As I got to the door leading outside-"where are you going?" "Anywhere but here." I sighed. I got in the car. Just as it seems, I broke out of a high security rehab just to find my brother's alter ego having sex. I shrugged. I needed to get my mind on track.

I pulled up to the library. A big building with limestone floors, and statues. I walked in and went downstairs to the newspaper articles. I started humming, a short tune. I was walking down an isle, when a familiar voice stopped me. "Shadow?" Holding the files in my bag, I turned around. My eyes moved from his black converses, to his black jeans, to a turquoise plaid shirt, to his eyes a crystallized blue, to his short cropped hair. Matt. "Hey!" I said as I walked closer to greet him. "-what are you doing here?" We both said in unison. I laughed as he chuckled. "Do you wanna catch up? I mean since you broke out?" I nodded. We walked to a private table in the library.

"Well, since you broke out of this high security rehab center, they had to shut it down for renovations. And technically, I was basically almost done for me being clean, so they let me go." Matt said, staring me in the eyes. I let go of the file and set it on the table. "What's that?" I murmured. "The guy who killed my family." I looked away, as his eyes remained on my face. "I usually don't trust people this easily." I said. He chuckled.

His blue eyes seemed so trusting, like they looked right through me. "Look, you can tell me anything, Shadow." Matt said smiling.
