Knuckles and the two dark orphans

Chapter 9 - The truth comes out

Knuckles pov (the next day)

I was walking to school early today....I can't tell anyone about them....everyone would freak out if they knew that the boys....but that's when I saw the eldest of the brothers.....he looked at me while leaning against the lamppost and said as he crossed his arms, so....your the punk in my baby brothers class....am I correct? I whispered, yeah....so...let me guess...your Itachi Kurasaki.....right? He nodded boldly as he just glared at me....he said coldly, so what do you want? I said, I need to know the truth.....I wanna hear your side of the story of what happened between this....I know you and your brother have been carrying some scars but....I just wanna know.... he grunted but didn't decline....he said, okay fine....but first...*sighs* was my brother misbehaving in class.... I answered, no he just sits there quietly, does his work, and draws creepy images.....during his free time he said, I figured as much....okay.....What my brother said was true.....I've been in a living hell for two years....all they do is abuse me, hit me, lock me in the room, and beat the shit outta me.... but then one day.....I snapped at my so-called father for pushing me too far....I couldn't take it anymore.....I stabbed him with brute force.....the nurse who was both caretaker and to the hospital understood I was in pain.....I was so young.....that's when I realized I had a purpose to kill him.....she told me that I became a brother without even knowing......but I was relieved that they were able to save my brother.....that so-called mother just died like she deserved to be.....the nurse took us in as one of her own....even if it was an orphanage....I watched over my brother.....he had been in isolation in almost a year but as he started to walk I started taking him outside so he can have some fresh air....he and I were in the darkness ever since.... I didn't know what to say I was shocked to see that....if all they ever did was abuse him.....& when all seemed lost.....he snapped.....& took his brother and did whatever he can....to take care and to protect him....even in the orphanage.... 4 hours later school started and as usual Sonic looked at me.....but as I looked at him he looked away half a bit and blushed....he was so nervous....I didn't think he would be in love before.....until now....
