Shades Of Red

Chapter Twenty Four

“Give it up already! I don’t want to fight you.”

Wiping the blood from his mouth, he stared directly into his eyes.  They were blood lust, pure crazy. Why was he even fighting him? What did he want?

“You think you can win against me? Think again.”

“I don’t want to fight! Just please- please understand. I’m sorry for what i did, i didn’t know.”

“You didn’t know? You didn’t know?! Look at me! You drove to the font of snapping. You took everything from me, and now i’m going to take everything from you.”

Raising his glowing sword, it dropped in one foul swipe, cutting right through the black wings perfectly. His screams echoed in his own ears in disgusted pain, crying out from the dark room.  Tears fell heavily down his face as he sobbed, needing someone.

“P-ple-ease! D-don't do t-this! I beg you!”

“Beg to me all you want, nothing’s going to change on how you ruined everything for me. And now look at you, blubbering like a baby, it’s cute when you don’t act like something you’re not. Let’s face it brother, you’re just weak, no one can help that.”

“W-why?  Why me?! I-i didn’t do it.”

“Human land isn’t for us.”

“It was for my students! Any Magix student to go in and learn. I wasn’t trying to be selfish, i just wanted to be a nice person.”

“Being nice will never get you anywhere.”

“It would lead me to have a good heart, unlike you.”

“I’m glad they got rid of your faggot ass. Who would even want a gay man to heir the throne after Lucis. You refuse to mate with anyone we gave you, all the women if that matters.”

“Who cares if i'm gay? I’m still me.. I’ll always be your big brother, i’ll always be there for you no matter how difficult it’s getting for you.  I can tell deep down you want to stop and help me, this isn’t like you at all. You’re a sweet, honest man and i don’t want you to hurt yourself. I love you Alex.. i really.. Really do.”

“.. i-i..”

He smiled, falling to the floor. His face hit a puddle of his own blood, passing out instantly.

Alex jolted from bed, his breath uneven. That dream always got to him. That day always got to him every single time Alex saw that lovable idiot.  He wanted to say it back, but he just couldn’t. He was the one being selfish that day.

Tearing the blankets off him, Alex stood up. Walking over to the balcony doors, Alex only saw the dark sky turn into a light blue.  Opening the doors, Alex sighed as he rested his arms on the railing. He popped out a cigarette and lit it in his mouth, taking a long drag.  Exhaling the smoke, he sighed. His eyes started to water, on how he couldn’t stop thinking about it. He wished he’d went back in time to stop himself for doing such horrid thing.  Even if he did take everything from him. A small hand stole his cigarette, bringing up to his lips, taking a short drag from the drug.

“You’re up early.”

“Couldn't sleep.”

“I bet, you kept tossing and turning, something on your mind?”
