Chapter 25: Revealing Past

The image started to form. Two figures formed in front of Leon Oskaur. The figures turned out to be a women and man.
The woman's gray hair was showing through the her blonde hair. Her intense green eyes stared down at Leon Oskaur. The man cold features were emphasized by his well kept beard that covered most of his face. His blond hair juxtaposed his brown eyes, that looked like two pieces of coal barring into Leon Oskaur.
The woman slowly circled around Leon Oskaur, like a predator sneaking up on its prey. Leon Oskaur didn't follow the women but rather stared at the man. The man looked back with no feeling. Leon Oskaur stopped staring at the man when he felt a powerful hit to his face.
When he recovered, he turned to the women. She had sat down making sure that her dark blue dress wasn't wrinkled. The man looked like nothing was wrong.
Leon Oskaur didn't speak. He knew better than that. The man then stepped forward, getting in Leon Oskaur's face.
"You truly became the abomination that we knew you would be." The man began his voice barley a whisper, "What else could be possibly be so monstrous?"
Leon Oskaur remained silent. His silence was meet with a slap in his face. "Answer me abomination." The man yelled.
"I didn't kill her." Leon Oskaur quietly said. His comment was met with another slap.
"That is rubbish." The man screamed.
"What happened to her was an accident." Leon Oskaur tried to explain. This was met with a punch.
The women shook out her hand after the punch. Leon Oskaur could feel blood coming from his face.
"You think we are so arrogant as to believe you." The woman spoke, her shrill voice was almost like she was laughing at Leon Oskaur, "You have been nothing but trouble since you were born."
The words didn't sting, not even a little bit. It was something that he had heard everyday since he was born. By this point he was used to the insulting. Usually he would have someone to comfort him.
"Now we will ask nicely one last time." The woman interrogated, "What did you do to Nicole?"
Leon Oskaur looked up at the people that said that they would take care of him, no matter what. He hasn't seen that a day in his life. Now they want him to admit a crime he didn't do.
"I did not do anything..." Leon Oskaur began before he was punched again.
The woman's knuckles were starting to become red. Leon Oskaur just looked up at them. They looked at each other, then nodded. The man grabbed Leon Oskaur by his arm and dragged him out of the house. Leon Oskaur didn't even struggle. He was willingly dragged out.
As he was getting dragged out, he turned to see a girl with white blonde hair. She laid in a casket ready for her funeral. Leon Oskaur's heart wrenched at the sight.
The man threw Leon Oskaur out in the snow. Leon Oskaur didn't make a effort to get up. He laid there until he felt numb.
This image faded and new one appeared.
Leon Oskaur was at a school. He wasn't surrounded by friends. Rather he was surrounded by enemies. Many boys near Leon Oskaur's age, crowded around him. They called him names, some even hit him.
Leon Oskaur wasn't giving them the reactions they wanted. Instead of leaving him alone, some went from the group and found the girl, Nicole? Her brown eyes looked at the group with confusion.
One of the boys in the group pushed her. Leon Oskaur then reacted. He threw a punch at the boy.
The boy instead of fighting back decided to get the other boys to hurt Nicole. Leon Oskaur tried to stop them but three boys held him back.
Leon Oskaur watched in horror as they each of the boys took a turn to kick her in the stomach and chest. Leon Oskaur almost succeeded in get the three boys off him, but it was too late. When he finally broke free, Nicole laid on the floor barely breathing.
The boys all ran. Leon Oskaur run to Nicole.
"Nini, I'm so sorry you got involved in this." Leon Oskaur apologized.
Nicole weakly brought her hand to his cheek. "Leon Oskaur, I want you to know that none of this is your fault." Nicole weakly responded, "I also want you to know that you were the best brother I could have ever had."
Leon Oskaur gently picked her up and brought her to the school nurse. The nurse looked at Nicole then looked over to Leon Oskaur. Sadness was filling her eyes. Leon Oskaur's own eyes filled and moisture was all over his face.
The nurse pulled him in a hug. She silently hugged him, comforting him. They stayed that way for what felt like a decade. The nurse then separated and called the mortuary. Leon Oskaur began to wail in pain. It was so loud and intense that several people ran into the nurses office.
One of the teachers managed to calm down Leon Oskaur. He still felt like his world had fallen apart. His only good thing on this earth was his twin sister.
'She's gone' chorused thoughts in his head. Some people were trying to comfort him but no such comfort existed.
In the mix of shock and trauma, Leon Oskaur heard someone call his parents to tell them what happened. Leon Oskaur didn't care what happened to him. All he had cared about was now gone.
