The Currupted

chapter 20: Silence

Author's P.O.V

The echoing noise of small little girls laughing echoed in the abandoned school, Claire who wore a white dress wondered around breathing hard as her heart pounded , a deep growl echoed in the dark hallway Claire was in making her to quickly turn in fear, as she did, the hallway turned into a dark boiler room and in the distance stood a tall hunched figure with glowing white eyes, "Claire...." A disoriented voice echoed oh so familiar to her before the figure jumped on her for a split second. Claire jumped up from her bed, panting due to the recent nightmares she's been having, she looked down as tears filled up her eyes,  she had a silver ring on her ring finger, doctors had found a velvet box that contain the ring in Sebastian's pocket indicating he was about to propose to her in some time yet he was taken away from her by Michael, it was two in the morning as it was dark outside the apartment Sebastian once shared with her, now she's alone, no lover, no friends, yet her family is about a seven hour drive away, Claire sighed as she stood up packing a bag full of clothes worth for a week, it was the best for her to spend time with her family to get over it yet it pains her to slightly think of Michael,.

Michael was in the cabin where it all started, he sighed as he stood by the porch gazing up to the full moon, he then moved inside the cabin seeing Haley and ayame, asleep side by side, he then looked at the torn apart red on the table lifeless. Michaels eyes glowed red for a brief second as red was slowly yet quickly being rebuilt in a red dust that swirled around him before the sound of a turbine being powered up echoed. Michael then looked at the sleeping girls smiling softly, he walked towards them and kissed their forehead before he sits down beside Haley holding her hand as he slowly fell asleep,

**Time skip**

"Mikey~......Mikey wake up~" Haley softly whispered shaking Michael softly as his eyes slowly opened followed by a tired groan till his eyes met with a pair of beautiful green eyes, Haley smiled softly giggling "wake up dummy breakfast is ready" she spoke pecking his lip making Michael smiled and sat up seeing that Haley was sitting on his lap, Michael hugged the woman sitting on him with a smiled before another pair of arms wrapped around them "Daddy thank you so much!!!!" Ayame yelled smiling burying her face on Michaels back "thank you for saving me and red..." She cried in happiness as Michael moved gently petting her head "of course....." He spoke smiling as he hugged the two girls laughing "we have a lot of things to do....so our family comes back" Michael spoke as both of them nodded

Claire sighed as she looked up at her parents house, people staring at her LA Ferrari parked in the driveway, Claire walked to the front door and gently opened it as she walked in "Mom? Dad?" Claire called closing the door and walked inside, a blonde haired woman peeked her head trough door "Claire?....oh my god it is you!" She exclaimed quickly walking to Claire and hugged her daughter "how's my little Kitty cat??? Where's Michael? And why are you here?" She asked looking down at her daughter who had a frown, this also made her frown as she held her "why?...what's wrong?" She asked but Claire was cut off by a male voice "Lizzy? Whose that?" The woman named Lizzy looked back shouting "its Claire! Come down here!" She then look back at Claire "OK I'm gonna go make dinner OK?" She spoke smiling and walked back to the kitchen, Claire sighed as she gripped on her bag and walked trough the hallway, seeing pictures of their childhood, she saw pictures of her Michael and her sister Riza, she soon came across with her father who smiled "oh my little girl!" He exclaimed picking Claire up causing her to giggle "dad!" She held onto her father smiling "we have a lot of catching up to do yes?" He asked as Claire nodded "oh yeah I want to show you something" she spoke, quickly pulling her father outside to show her LA ferrari, her father's eyes widen as he smiled before chuckling "but how are you able to afford this? Its like around (insert real price)" He asked looking at his daughter who smiled softly and looked down "it was a gift....from michael for my birthday" she replied making her father smile softly "Michael always cease to amaze us....." He spoke before Claire's mother called them in

After an hour, Claire was helping her mother clean the dishes as her father was talking to someone on the phone, "so sweetie...how's Michael? I haven't seen him since you two left...." Claire's mother asked smiling softly as Claire looked down on the sink "he......" She  thinks for a second before continuing "is taking care of himself.... persuaded his dream to become an inventor...." Claire replied smiling making her mother smile "well you two have been close since we adopted him, I mean he was distant towards us but when you came close to him he started to open up" the blonde haired woman spoke as Claire giggled remembering the first time Michael smiled "mom....tell me how you and dad made a choice to adopt Michael....." Claire asked making her mother sigh "well....you're father wanted to have a so-" Claire cut of her mother "the truth mom..." She spoke looking at her mother who frowned and let's out a sigh ".....ok sweetie.....when me and you're dad heard a noise in the kitchen, out of instinct both of us walked down to check it out while you and riza were asleep.....when we got to the kitchen we saw the fridge open and a trail of blood and milk leading to the basement.....and when you're father got there he saw Michael.....hungry.....scared.....cold...eating the leftover chicken like an animal.....you're dad got a injury from him to prove it...." Her mother informed as her father continued "a deep one too....Its amazing to see a 20 year old take hits that could end him in a coma or injure him severely but...Michael....he took the hits just to rupture my pancreas..." Claire frowned at this as her father sighed and walked up to her "Michael had promised me that he will protect you....he trusts you and he kept that promise and never disappoints me...he is a good man....I mean we were shock to know he killed his own family in cold blood but something tells me he just needed to be redirected to the right path....and you sweetie had just done that" he informed her smiling but she just frowned

"He had gone back to the wrong path"
