Chapter 8: Memories are a Bitch

"I said I was there are you deaf?" Kute says glancing at her

Alex didn't know how to contemplate with what had just been said. When she was younger she had five brothers. They all lived on the rough side of Pyrin, the poorest side of the colony. They lived near an orphanage but it seemed abandoned when they moved near it.

"E-Explain now" Alex's voice shakes as she says this

"Here we go then sit down this is gonna take a while" Kute gestures to a seat

As she down he began to tell his tale. Nine years ago, in the bad part of Pyrin there was an orphanage it was run down and withered. A young silvered eyed boy was sleeping in it. He heard screaming of boys they were screaming for their mother to hide. After a second an audible gagging and coughing was heard and many voices were gone. This little boy awoke once he heard gagging; he picked up his hatchets and went to investigate. What he saw was a horrible scene, five boys with their throats slit gasping for life. This angered the kid immensely, he never had a family but he hated this all of it. He saw the synthiziods and went berserk on them he jumped on one and struck it with a hatchet and the one in front of it striking it in the middle of the head.

He began to cry as he repeatedly struck the synthizoid. Hatred was in his small silver eyes. His innocence was beginning to be corrupted. He didn't stop till the body disintegrated under him. What he saw after he finished his assault horrified him. A six month woman and her husband shot dead in cold blood.

"I was too late....I'm sorry .....All of that gave me a reason to fight" he looks at Alex with tears in his eyes

"How could you possibly know that it was my family?" Alex asked seeing the pain in his eyes

"I found a picture of you and your family in the home and when we met you confirmed my thesis" Kute said in a calm but sad tone

Alex hugged him. She felt it's what he needed at the moment. This was a small form of thanks in Kute's mind. Alex couldn't say much but this action showed her feelings in a small gesture.

"T-Thank you for trying to save my family especially at the age of eight....i never could've done that at that age" alex smiles

Kute smiled that's all he could do. For his new sister had shown him a bit of affection.
