The Cursed Blade

Chapter 1: Patrick

Hey I'm Patrick and this is how my life started.

      I live in a small apartment with my mom and my dog best friend Benjamin. We are not rich nor poor just the average type of family. I never met my Dad, even in his pictures. Mom doesn't want to talk about dad so that's the topic that we try to avoid and in fact he left us, what's the point of knowing who your dad is if he left you anyway? And besides We're better off without him. My life wasn't perfect but it sure is special. Well not until my Dad suddenly appeared and ruined everything. I'll never forget that day. It was my 12th birthday and my mom prepared a simple celebration for me. We were watching a Disney movie while eating my birthday cake when suddenly Uncle Frederick appeared. His face looks pale and he's covered in sweat. Uncle Frederick didn't even bother to say hello to me which is odd because although Uncle Frederick is just my mom's step brother, he always treated me and my mom like his own family. Everytime he visits us he always have that big smile *toothpaste commercial style* but now he wore no smile and his face looks like he haven't gotten a sleep for a month."We have something important to talk about Jane" Uncle Frederick told Mom, I looked at My mom and gave her a what's-going-on look but mom is as puzzled as I am.
      Uncle Frederick told me to go to my room and play video games so I rushed into my room upstairs and started to play. After some time I got really bored playing so I headed downstairs only to find my mom crying "I didn't know Fred, what will I do?" My mom said while she's crying "It's my fault Jane, I should've known" Uncle Frederick said while hugging my Mom "What's going on?" I asked "Why's mom crying?" Uncle Frederick turned towards me and patted my head "Look mate we have no time, Your mom's gonna explain everything in the car, Jane we have to go" My mom carried me and we got inside uncle's car. "mom? What's happening here? And where's uncle?" Then I looked at the window of the car and found uncle Frederick standing in front of our house, then suddenly a red weird looking symbol appeared in front of Uncle's hands then *boom!* I heard a loud crash and next thing I know our house is covered with flames "Nooo! Why!?!" I shouted at my Uncle "Mom look! Uncle Frederick just burned our house!" I looked at my mom's pitch black eyes hoping that she's shocked as I am but I failed, mom looks calm as if she expects this to happen "It's alright sweetie you'll understand soon" my mom told me in a very calming voice "But mom! Benjamin is in there! He's my best friend" I said while trying hard not to cry but my eyes failed me. I just lost my dog, my only friend. "Soon my baby, you'll understand soon" my mom hugged me and sang me a lullaby then I drifted to sleep.
      I woke up and we're still on the road, that's when my mom started to explain everything to me "Look honey, I know you're confused but let me tell you this, everything's alright. We're going to your Uncle's house and we'll stay there for good" mom said "But mom! What about---" I was interrupted by loud crashing sound and next thing I knew our car is flying in the air with us in it. I opened my eyes and I saw my mom, her body is full of blood "Mom?, Mom?" My eyes are starting to sting I didn't know what to do next thing I knew I started to cry then suddenly A man pulled me out of the car "gods Patrick" Uncle Frederick hugged me "Uncle what happened? Uncle my mom, she's dead" I cried as hard as I can my knees are trembling, my vision becomes blurry then I passed out.
      I woke up in a comfy bed feeling really tired when I opened my eyes I saw a girl and a boy about the age of  15. I tried to move my body but I can't, the girl noticed that I am now conscious and she walked towards me and sat on the chair next to me "Hi" she said while smiling "Hello where am I?" I asked the girl "You're in our House, you're safe here" she said in a very convincing tone "Mom, where's mom? I want to see her" I said while trying my best not to cry "You need to take some rest we'll talk about it later" said by the guy with a curly hair "By the way I'm Philip" and this is my sister "I know how to talk Phil" the girl with a blonde hair said while rolling her eyes to the guy who i believe is Philip "Hi! I'm Sasha, Sasha Flintstons. And Incase you're wondering, yes Phil is my big brother you're probably thinking "Oh my gods, Sasha has an ugly and non-stylish brother?! Geez Philip must be adopted. Sasha's too beautiful to have an ugly brother" sadly Phil is not adopted and Yes it's possible for a beautiful woman like me to have an ugly brother. So what's Your name little guy?" "Sash! Don't listen to her she's a psycho" Phil said while looking tomato red "What you gonna do about it chicken guy?" Sasha teased her brother "Shut up Phil I'm talking to this little guy here" Sash rolled her eyes again I swear this girl can roll her eyes 360° from North to South. She smiled at me, her smile looks like Uncle Frederick's the same toothpaste commercial smile "So what's your name buddy?" She asked again "I'm Patrick" I said with a very smooth voice "Hi Patrick! Rest and we'll talk later okay?" She tucked me to bed just like how my mom did it to me during nap time. I nodded and I smiled at her "Goodbye" "Goodbye Patrick, and welcome to the Brooklyn house"
