Three Simple Words

Chapter 6

I woke up after kerosene was poured ontop of me.
"Ugh! Dude!!! What'd I do?? Stupid jerk!"
"She is awake boss!!".
I hear a very deep and strange voice.
"Boss!!! Wait where the hell am I".
"Good. Thank you Crane and Shadow. You may take your leave to the second floor!".
I didn't understand where I was and how I got there but I am so scared.
"Where the hell am I".
"O young girl. You wouldn't want to knoe. Sorry for the way my workers have brought you here but sooner or later I will explain into why you are here".
"Um I would like to know now".
"Hmmm. You are anxious aren't you but the truths hard as rock and believe me when I say that you will regret hearing this".
"Trust me. I can handle this. I've gone through enough pain to understand what it is like to know the truth."
"Well since you insisted. I'll tell even if your father doesn't approve".
"I don't understand".
"You see. You weren't taking here by mistake. Your father had did something wrong and I had kept quiet, waiting for the right time.
"Um excuse me on whoever you are, but my father is dead and my family hate me so I am no longer part of the Ransom family but I'll still love them no matter what".
"Hmph. Tough. Pretty! I doubt you, despite your calmness about their behaviour remain so not angry because of now is their fault that you're here?".
"I don't understand. What had my father had done that would make you want to take in revenge so badly?".
"You see my name is lord malrod and I am one of the scavenger knights. Your dad.......".
"Wait. I thought Scavenger knights was just a fairytale story in the library. It's too impossible to be true".
"No Scavenger Knights are real. We are real. I am one of their lord's.My name is lord Denforth. We don't come out in public but come in secret only when we are told or sent on a mission. I have taken you here possibly because of your father. Your father had killed my only brother. Your father, Charles, was also a member of this scavenger hunt until the day he killed my brother .(starts to sob in remembering what had happened ). It had always been challenge and jealousy between him and me. Every time when we practised, they had always called him better than me. I hated that so much that since he was the only son in his family, I teased him a lot. He never liked it anyway. I can never forget what he had told me. He said, "you are always teasing me , telling lies about me, torturing me. I will get you for this if it's the last thing I do".
That night, it was raining hard against our bamboo made roofs, Charles had slipt out from the door and went to my brother's room where everything was quiet. He stabbed the knife through my brother's heart and he died in his sleep. Charles had excaped while we were all sleeping because he knew that our master, Kiroshiki, would have done the same thing to him to but before he left, he had wrote a letter that read,
Dear Denforth,
Sorry for the wrong I did. I hope you can forgive me but I doubt it. You see, it had been you all along who made me so desperate to do this terrible thing. I know that everyone will be calling me a murderer. I did this for you to understand that I am so unfortunate to have another brother or sister and that you are. When you teased me, it made me so lonely having the fact that both my parents had died leaving me all by myself. You made me want to show you that though your parents are dead, you still have a brother to get support even though he is smaller from you but I killed Chang to make you realise how lonely it can be when you are the only person left on that lonely road of life.
Love,
Charles (Your brother's murderer).
after reading this, it had made want to get him but he was gone". He stops talking and starts crying.
Hearing this, I cry too. It had been hours later after we cried. What a tragic story! It made me realise that I am not the only one having a lonely day in my life. It had also happened to my father. If he was here, he would know how I feel.
"OK lord malrod. I am sorry for what had happened but don't you think that you can forgive him for what had been done. I may not be much of a christian but from my experience of loneliness, it sucks bog time but you need to understand that everyone digs their own grave and it happened. My father would have leaved long but since he dud something nasty, it had caught up on him. Forgiveness is hard but it is something worth more than revenge as to what everyone thinks".
"I am happy for your advice but I don't buy it. You have two choices. Either to join in with the Scavenger knights or die".
"I am too young to die. OK. I have no other choices so I will join the knights".
"You'll be fine. Great choice".
"Duh!!!! What more choices did you give me?huh. Just get on with it".
"OK. Up! Please. Here us your room . By the way, this is a submarine which means you're currently 200,000 ft. under the sea bed. We'll be heading back to Kitcha, the knights training place , at approximately two weeks time. Thank you".
