I jumped off the horse, I was lucky I knew the area so well, or I would've gotten lost while I was breaking down.
I stepped into the home to see the three boys lying on the ground. Oh god. I dropped to my knees, tugging at my chest. My chest was in so much pain, my stomach was churning and I felt like I was going to throw up--
ew.
Okay, I have to clean that up later. I gripped onto my shirt and got back up, forcing myself to ignore the heartache. I have to bury them.
And with that, I grabbed a shovel and started digging 3 graves around Arlan's grave. I started to have a conversation with Arlan, acting as if he was here. Here I was, doing it again, forcing myself to move on.
I decided to finish digging before I mourned. It was hard to ignore what had happened just before, it took everything I had, and while I was digging I would have pained mourning screams.
--
I was finished. All three strong men now underground. I sat in front of the grave, talking to them, saying goodbye and mourning. After two hours of pain, I had realized my whole family was now on the ground. I was the only one left...
"I can't live" I sighed, "I can't take care of myself... I'm twelve." I got up, I took a moment of hesitation, the night was cold and dead silent. It was only filled with my sharp breath, "...you all are up there," I said, looking up at the sky, "I'll come to join you! I'll join you today!" I jumped, sprinting around the house, whatever happened, I will be in the same place as my brother are! I have to join them!
I grabbed the knife that lay on the counter, the metal was cold and the house was empty and silent. I raised the knife, smiling. I was excited, I could finally join them!
I raised it higher, lining it up with my stomach, nothing on earth can stop me from joining my brothers! I swear it!
"Don't do it!" a voice yelled.
I paused, the voice was obviously human, right now, anything sounded like Thane's words. I turned around, with a slight hope that it would be my brothers, but it was a hopeless thought, I saw them all die.
A man wearing a white robe stood there. I growled, "What is so urgent!?"
"What are you doing, young man?" he asked, snatching the knife away against my will.
I now realized the man as my neighbour from the bottom of the hill, "What are you wearing?" I asked.
He sighed, "Why are you alone right now? Answer me first." He commanded.
I groaned, before sighing, "My family isn't home."
"Where are they?" He asked, "Why'd they leave you alone here?"
"They didn't have a choice," I answered, taking the knife back, "So I'll come to join them!"
He snatched it away immediately, "I see..." he bit his lip, "So... You're orphaned?"
Well, I never thought about that. I never noticed that my brothers and I were orphaned. I nodded, "Yeah..."
He sighed, "It's freezing cold, why are you wearing that dress shirt?"
Is he interrogating me? Why so many questions? "They're my pyjamas. Now let me leave this dumb world!" I yelled, trying to grab the knife back, He held it over my head so that I couldn't grab it. He grabbed my arm and tossed the knife into the counter on the other side of the kitchen.
He started dragging me, and I kept trying to struggle away. I tried twisting his arm, like how Thane taught me, but he yanked me, nearly making me fall over.
I was forced to be dragged away by this man. Dammit! I shouldn't have hesitated when he yelled at me!
He threw me onto a horse and kept his grip on my hand as he started to ride the horse down the hill. "Help!" I yelled, in hopes someone would stop him! I need to go back home and finish my business!
"No one is around, they can't hear you, young man." He explained.
I let out an exasperated sigh. The horse stopped soon enough, it was just down the hill, not far.
He dragged me off of the horse and threw me onto the seat, locking the front door behind him.
"What are you doing!? Let me go home!" I yelled, running to the door and failing to open it multiple times.
The man sighed, "If you think I'm going to let a kid kill himself, think again."
I growled, "I'm no kid! I may be twelve, but I've seen more than you!"
He laughed, "Kid, I kill people for a living."
How can he laugh right now!? This night is only hungry for death! I should be joining my brothers right now!
I started smashing at the door, "Let me go home!"
I wasn't scared of the man, he was basically my neighbour, he and my father used to be friends, but after father left, he stopped coming over. I don't remember much of him, even though it was 4 years ago.
"Shut up!" a woman yelled, walking down the steps.
Oh my god! She was shorter than the man but still taller than me... and her chest was large... Shit, I haven't seen a woman for most of my life.
Have I forgotten what they look like? Well, it's official, I'm a dumbass.
"Who's this?" She asked coldly to the man.
He smiled at her, "I found the kid trying to kill himself. He's a little knocked up, can you be a sweetheart and clean him up?"
"Where are we going to put him?" she asked.
He smirked, "Tom's old room"
She nodded, who is Tom? I was going to ask that, but she dragged me upstairs to the bathroom.
Oh gosh, she just locked the bathroom door. Is she going to try to bathe me? Eww, I can do it myself!
Argh!
-2 hours later-
"Don't try anything, or I'll be up your ass about it for the rest of the week." She said, throwing me onto the bed before leaving.
What the fuck!? rest of the week? I won't be here for the rest of the week! ...Right?!
