BEYOND THE EYES OF A DEMON

CHAPTER 1 -A LAUGHING DEAD SOUL

I woke up in the midst of eager eyes and swollen eyeballs darting at me like lost souls and rotten corps. With no clue as to the reason behind this,I scanned the small room with utmost scepticism. A sudden vision of hazy pictures of a mislead vehicle followed by the itching screams of people and lackadaisical movement of people around me awakened my weakened soul and just then,I staggered off the bed like a zombie.
Sweat creased my forehead and strolled down my chin,dissolving on my dusty shirt.
"Say something you dead soul!" My younger brother shouted. I was happy hearing those words but it was not because he was my lovely brother but because i was going to do something wonderful. I mean,he just called me a dead soul so i guess I should give some action to that. I fell back on the bed,shut my eyes and pulled my tongue out just like a dead soul. Great!. I heard my mum and dad shouting
"Someone please call the doctor. My son is dying please!please!"
I didn't quit my pretence,I wanted my brother to see what it meant if i actually played a dead soul. I didn't hear him say anything while my parents where screaming and shouting and so i slowly opened one of my eye and just as savage as he was, a whole bucket of "water"
I wished it was just water but with its current reaction on my body,it seemed like he just took it directly from the fridge. My guess was that he had poured all the water in the fridge on my body and that labelled the end of my dead soul show. I threw myself off the bed and landed on the floor with my teeth gnashing together. At this point,I feared my teeth would break being that they were rubbing against each other muderously and i would soon be a kid will all his teeth absent.

"What the fu..."

"Shut up Robert deamone!..the moment you complete that speech is the moment you turn to a real dead soul Mr!" My mum screamed before I could complete my word and i completed

"Fume..fog..frost...I mean like...you know.."

"Shut up rotten piece of dead corpse abandoned on the road by a blessed uncontrolled car"

I didn't know what he meant by that so i continued staring blankly at him and he did same until my mum said

"Darling!I hope you are alright"

I nodded in reply but the irritating expression on my brothers face was more painful than the first time he made my high school girlfriend breakup with me. He just sent her a creepy picture of me helping my poor self in the toilet. I mean everyone reliefs himself in toilet. I am not a superhuman you see. He sent the horrible image to my girlfriend and the next day,she broke up with me. It was obvious she didn't like me because I am somehow shy and boring. Its all in the past now,it still hurts but the glare he was boring into me was hurting more so I flipped a pillow at him but he ducked .
Oh shit!

"Stop picking on your brother. Your wounds are still fresh. You need to take this pills" my mum said and I asked her

"What happened to me"

"We were on our way to fetch you because it was getting late but you weren't home. Your dad and I were discussing when we bumped into you unknowingly. You ran carelessly into the road and we almost killed you. That reminds me...why were you running?"

I didn't want to tell them i was running away from my classmates because i had always told them i was the biggest boy in my class and that no one could stand up to me. I didn't want them to know anything about how I was bullied in school because my mum will go all spiritual on it and claim its the devils work. I didn't also want to be seen as a weakling who can't do anything.. but to face reality,that was who I truly was. My brother was stronger, outspoken,brave,confident and very handsome. I lacked all the characteristics of my brother but I didn't want anyone to think I had accepted my meagreness. I had lived under this façade for 19 years and I wouldn't risk it for anything. My father was also bullied in school when he was younger and so he didn't want same to happen to his sons. He trained us to be self confident,brave and outspoken but I guess I was to weak to keep up with that and left it laying on thorns till it walked out of my life and then i was chaff,something weak. Being the first son,my dad took his time training me to defend myself,fight and also win but I guess i was just a loser. I guess I will have to live under this façade till I die. I don't want to die anyway.
"Answer me!" My mum screamed,placing a hand on my shoulder and I said

"Nothing. I thought I saw a dog"
And just just then,my brother burst out in laughter and went rolling on the floor with his hand tied around his belly. He shouted between laughing chokes

"Loser!"

I guess I was just like what my brother just screamed. Just a loser. A coward deserves more than that but he was kind enough just to call me a loser and so I said

"Thank you"

I could feel the bitter taste of tears in my throat so I swallowed and gave out a wide smile as usual. I'm just a laughing dead soul.
