Forever Bound

Hallucinations.

I hear gun shots and arguing from downstairs . I got up from the bed in hustle and went down. I saw a woman in her forties and man slightly older than her. That guy was arguing with-
Michael...
Michael was holding the gun...
a gun!?..
to their heads.

My heartbeat jumped. The woman was scared to death.

"You can't do this Alex, you can't handle it. Im not gonna give you the details for it. you're too young to handle the business."

Alex? He's Michael.

"You guys are so hopeless of me, aren't you?"
He takes a pause.

"Now look at you both , Seph is begging on her knees for me not to kill her."

"Tch.. tch. pity you guys. Eliose deserves better parents. With you im never gonna be able to achieve anything. You guys are always gonna be in my way. So better to finish it than to leave it empty handed."

"Alex, you're making a mistake." He says to him.

He laughs.

"Shut your mouth , Ethan. i know what i am doing but you living isn't the right thing for me and eliose."

He doesn't listen.

*GUN SHOT*

I gasped. He killed her. He shot her in the head. No chance of survival. Michael did that!!
The next he was about to shot. I screamed his name!!

"STOP IT!!" He is now facing me.

He stares at me.

"Stop this madness , please. you weren't supposed to be like this. Mom and dad didn't raised you like this Michael please.."

"You're grown up. You weren't supposed to see this."

Im breathing hard.

"What?"

Im in tears as i see he pointing the gun right onto my forehead.

"You're going to kill your sister?"

"I can't ruin the path i have chosen , dear sis."

*GUN SHOT AGAIN*

He shoots.

*GASPED*

I open my eyes and im screaming hard. i was sweating and my hands couldnt stop shaking.

"HELP...."
I choke my next words out.

"SOMEONE FUCKIN HELP ME..."

i feel a hand around my shoulder.
I glance back to look at it and it's him.
It's Nick.

"what happened? why are you shivering like that?" He seems worried.

"I don't want to die..."

He doesn't say anything. just tugs me into his chest. Tears fell into his shirt and making an imprint but he doesn't seem to care.

"You're okay, it was just a dream. I got you. You're safe."

I didn't realize it was 4am in the morning.
Such a dream isn't a dream..it's a nightmare.

"Take some sleep, Eliose."
"I don't want to sleep. Not rn." tears again.

"Okay." he reassures.
"Do you want to go out and take a walk? Take in some fresh air?"
I nod.

He grabs my shoes and puts on a coat over me and walks me outside the door.

The first 10 mins, we walk calmly and we don't talk..we includge ourself into the early morning fresh air, the tweeting of the birds and the scent of trees. I was trying to focus but it's something its not in my power to do right now.

"You okay now?"
I lie.
"Yeah, thanks."
After half an hour , we go back to home.

I saw Fabio standing at the gate. Waiting for Nick.

"You head inside first, ill come after."

I nod again.

I went outside and saw Michael in the living room.
I step back. My breathing is hard again. I couldn't focus. I step back.

Accidentally broke the vase behind me.
"Fuck." I whisper to myself.
"Fuck, fuck, fuck." I bent down to pick it up but hurt myself with it's sharp edges.

"El, why would you pick these pieces by bare hands? Are you crazy?"

I don't respond. I look where Michael was standing but he wasn't there. I go inside.
Now im getting hallucinations . Im gonna go crazy...
I'm shaking my leg so hard that it can cause an earthquake.

A sudden phone notification.
I don't see it.

*Incoming call*

I get my attention to see who's it.
My phone falls from my hand.
It's him.
Nick enters the room.
"Why are you entering my room without my permission nick??"

He stares.
"I knocked six times.."

"Oh.." he stares at the phone.
"You ain't gonna pick that?" he comes forward to give it to me.

"It's your brother, pick it up."

I shake my head.

"Not a good time to talk, I'll give him a call later."

He nods in agreement. No questioning.

"I don't know if youre willing but Fabio found some clues. Clues which can lead to finding out of Richard ."

"I wanted to go alone but i thought you are now part of it so informing you about it would be a good thing."

"Okay. Let's go."

I grab my things and go to the car.
