ANTIOCH

Brother

                                                                     Six Days Earlier

Mizu started to wake up. He found himself in a dark room. There was the constant sound of dripping water. He struggled to get himself up, the he heard a voice.

"You're finally awake."

Mizu looked up to see a man sitting on a type of thrown. That was a ninja looking person to his left a boy to his right.

"And you must be?" Mizu asked.

The man on the thrown laughed, "Aw, don't tell me you don't recognize your own half-brother."

Mizu's eyes widen. His whole body began to shiver.

He played it off, "Hmm, you're right. Who else would have such an ugly face like yours."

"Oh little brother, always playing the fool."

"Tell me, how, did I get here?"

"My assistant to my right found you unconscious and brought you to me."

"Hpmh, more like you sent it to kill me."

"Since when did you get so smart. Mother and father would be disappointed in how weak you are, failing to take over Antioch."

"Mother and father aren't here."

"True, but you shall see them in a little bit."

"Wait...what."

The man looked to his assistant, "Do it."

The assistant took out one of its Dual Swords from its back. It wore an assassin jumpsuit and a mask over its face.

"No, wait, don't!" Mizu pleaded to the assistant. "Please, STOP!"

The panicking ceased. The assistant smoothly sliced its blade through Mizu's neck, decapitating him.

His head rolled over to the man. He put his foot over Mizu's head stopping it from rolling. He laughed.

"How naive you were. What you've have tried to accomplished, I've already done months ago."

He reached his hand over to his right. He began petting the top of the boys black hair. He hardly moved. You couldn't even tell if he was breathing, and the boy barely blinked.

"We'll take over Antioch ourselves. Isn't that right, Ash Seishin."

The boy's eyes began to change from and innocent aqua blue to a deadly blood-red, showing off his Neko Eyes.
