Are you a monster?

Dark. Silence. Cold. He was aware of it all, and yet, it felt like something wasn't right.

The last words he heard someone say echoed in his head, "Don't you dare die on me! You hear me! If you die I swear I will never forgive you!"

Die.

Was he dead?

He didn't know.

If he wasn't dead, then why did everything seem so empty.

His eyelids felt heavy but he forced them to open. In the end, he found himself staring at a ceiling.

He sat up and scanned around the room.

It was his room on the bounty. But why was he here?

Once again, he didn't know.

It was quiet.

Too quiet.

He jumped off the bed and made his way to the door, opening it and walking out.

The hallway was just as quiet as his room. But it was not normal silence.

It was suffocating silence.

Dead silence.

And it was cold.

He shuddered, "Why is it so fucking cold?"

He made his way down the hallway and came to the living room.

He let out a gasp and took a few steps back.

The living room was filled with puddles of blood and the smell made him want to puke but he covered his mouth with his hands.

"What the hell happened here!?" He said loudly through his hands.

Venturing further into the living room, he made sure to avoid stepping in the blood puddles. He saw that the blood lead to the door and walked over to it.

He went outside and when he saw the scene outside he completely froze in fear and shock. His vision started to fade and he fell back to his butt.

It was his friends.

Dead.

Lloyd.

Nya.

Kai.

All of them.

Dead.

Brutally murdered.

He felt like he couldn't breathe. Everything started spinning.

He ended up throwing up on the floor next to him. The taste of acid in his mouth made him want to puke even more.

He wiped his mouth and stood up on shaking legs with the wall as support. "Wh.....Who did this...?"

Felling something sticky on his hands, he looked down and his eyes widened, his hands were covered in blood.

The blood of his family.

The images flashed before his eyes. Their faces as he took their lives.

"...I....I..k-killed.....t-them..." he was shaking, he tried to stop but couldn't.

"I...I killed them..." Tears formed in his eyes as he felt himself breaking.

"I killed them. I killed them. I killed them! I FUCKING KILLED THEM!!"

He fell to his knees, crying. "I NEVER MEANT FOR THIS TO HAPPEN! I NEVER WANTED THEM TO DIE! PLEASE! LET ME TAKE IT ALL BACK! TAKE ME INSTEAD! JUST LET ME GET THEM BACK!! THEY DON'T DESERVE THIS! JUST! Just...Just let me take it all back....please....."
