Mysterious Rescuer

Chapter 3 ~ The Letter

Rach,

I can't deal with it anymore.

The memories, the haunt me, every time I close my eye it's you, and I know now that you are the only person that keeps me going.

It's started again. Yes, it's been five years since it stopped, but she found me.

Here I am looking at the opportunity to be free.

I cannot believe I'm falling, catch me when I fall.

The luminous moonlight shines onto the razor sharp shard of metal. Staring lifelessly into the mirror, I see my deep chocolate coloured eyes reveal a shimmer of glee. Have you ever noticed the orbs are as dark as her heart, soul?

I'm running my left index finger over it, it's leaving a fresh, crimson trail of blood behind. My thin wisps of sandy hair on my arms, prickle up at the sheer thought of it. I tilt my head, unable to comprehend the expression on my face. Is it fear? Excitement? What is the emotion of freedom...

I'm sorry Rach.

I'll miss you, just you, Rach.

Charlie

A tear filled with warm raging anger swims steadily down the inside of my cheek. My breath is a succession of short gasps and lifeless whimpers. I stare at his soulless empty orbs. A thin layer of crisp icy blue coats his irises. A fury thriving on disbelief and sadness, rises within me as I move towards the monstrous stranger.

"What is it? What is it that can make someone so heartless?" I question myself aloud.

I hear a smug chuckle as my careless whisper passes through his ears. My body shivers, almost motionless. Nothing is comprehendible anymore. Who is Charlie talking about though.. 'she'... 'She' is the cat's mother, mum would always correct Charlie and I.

My mind scrambles through memories and pieces of information in an attempt to piece back together the shards of this broken message. The white seeder tree. It strikes me down, almost as suddenly as the letter. I steadily yet sharply turn my neck, so my head about to explode with thoughts faces him. Who is 'he'?

I feel my chest heave up as I breathe in deeply "Is my brother still alive?"
