The Taste Of Blood [bl]

Chapter 5

I'm starting to wonder if i was just born with bad luck. If you've been seeing what's been going on you'd understand. My hands hurt so much after holding some knife and having to block every blow slade gave me. I still can't get over the fact he beat me with a bamboo stick. And by just hitting my legs. Now that's just humiliating. I mean everyone was watching and when i fell to the floor, slade had placed his foot on my chest to keep me down. Everyone was laughing so hard when I just looked up at him while he just shook his head in disapproval and hit mine. I hissed in pain and touched the spot with a whimper. 

"So how was training?"

I looked up and saw nagisa smiling down at me while holding a wet cloth. I looked down and shrugged before looking at my legs and hands. They where covered in dirt and where probably gonna be badly bruised and covered in blisters when I finally have time to relax. I leaned back and cleaned my hands while looking at my clothes. Right after Elizabeth had untied me, the other girl,who's name is Margaret, took me and dressed me in all black and cut me hair so that it now reached my ears while my bangs almost covered my left eye. 

I sighed just as nagisa sat next to me and grabbed my hand before cleaning it. I watched as he rubbed a few circles around my palm until my hands where clean before looking up at me, making me get flustered. He smiled and reached up to my face before cleaning it and sweeping my hair to the side.

"There you go. Now, here." he handed me the cloth."clean your face up because its a mess."

I nodded before cleaning my face and looking down. Once i was done i looked at the cloth and saw that it was now a dirty brown and black color. I frowned when i saw small specks of red on it just as nagisa snatched it from me.

I looked up at him as he folded it and stood.

"Well so far your not good with a knife. How about a gun? Bow and arrow?" 

I shook my head as he frowned and looked at me.

"How are you so sure?"

" i went hunting with my dad once and when i held the hand gun i was close to blowing my head off. And for the bow and arrow thing lets just say i broke it." 

Once i was done talking nagisa was laughing so hard that he was hunched over holding his stomache.  I growled and was about to kick him once again when we both heard someone clear their throat. 

I looked up and felt my face get flustered once again that night when i saw slade looking at us with the damn bamboo stick he had hit me with. I jumped when he hit nagisa on his head. 

"Ouch! What was that for you ungrateful bastered? Aren't you happy enough that you at least have a team mate?"

"Ah yes I'm so happy that my team mate has the IQ of a preschooler. Yes I'm the most luckiest man alive." slade said with so much sarcasm dripping in his voice that i actually felt sorry for nagisa as he huffed while pouting. I watched as the two of them went back and forth with their small war against eachother until slade looked at me so quickly i thought he twisted his neck. 

"I forgot to tell you that we will be practicing how to defend yourself before we send you home."

"Why can't you guys drive me there? You know, just the way you got me here?" i asked as both slade and nagisa looked at me while frowning. 

"Err kid, we don't drive. We walk. Well most of the time but it'd be too dangerous to take you home." Nagisa said while looking at me. I frowned at this. Why would my own home be dangerous? It's the only place in this god forsaken place that i actually feel safe in! It's the place where i grew up, the place that held so many memorize. Both bad and good ones. Memorize that I would never want to forget.

I sighed and looked at both boys while crossing my arms over my chest and tilting my head to the side.

"And how the hell is my house too dangerous?" i asked while they blinked before turning to face eachother and started to whisper to themselves. Not this shit again.....

I huffed and walked up to them before forcing them to look at me. 

"Well? Care to explain why it's dangerous?" i asked in a more demanding tone as they looked at eachother before sighing.

"It's your mother. While you where unconscious in bed and your brother and father chased after me and my mom, Slade got in and took pictures around the place and he some how forgot to close the door. Since your mother was the only one around and i had forgotten to warn slade about her, he had hit her on her head causing your moms split personality to come out on accident." Nagisa said as i just looked at them before laughing. I let go of both boys and kept laughing but stopped when i saw they both had a serious look on their faces. I gulped and looked between them before looking down.

"I-I don't believe it." i muttered as they both sighed.

"Looks if you want evidence that your mother was hit try to remember what she did to you. Try to remember how different she was acting. Try to remember everything."

I did exactly that and bite my bottom lip when i remembered that my mom was acting strange. She wasn't worrying about me and she even asked me to go out side for her. She never asked something like that from me. And the way she smiled was completely different. It was nothing like the sweet and loving smile she always gave me. It was more.... I don't even know.

"Damn..." i sat down and ran my fingers through my hair while softly tugging on it.

"You two are right. She was acting different. But wait how did you guys know she had a split ppersonality?" i asked while looking up at them both. They looked at eachother before sighing once again and sat next to me. 

"I went inside some boxes in your mothers room and found some pills that help people with split personality to keep control. And ,well, we kinda looked at the back ground of your father and mother and saw that when she was about 13 she was sent to a mental hospital after killing her father and baby sister with just a pair of scissors." slade said while i looked at him then my lap.

"So that's the whole reason she never brings up grandpa or my auntie. But how did she get out? Don't they usually keep people like my mom in mental hospitals until their cured? Or at least showing improvement?" i asked as nagisa cleared his throat.

"Well yea i guess but apparently your mother was reported stable enough to live a normal life but they made sure to give her certain medications that will help her stay in control of her own body. But as you can see it didn't entirely work." nagisa said as i nodded. 

"I.... I still can't believe this. No. No i won't believe this!" i shouted while standing causingboth boys to look at me in shock.

I turned and started to run from them as they shouted for me to come back. I didn't listen of course. I had to think this all though because it was just too much for me to handle..
