25- my best place

-and who the fuck gave you the right to change the plan so suddenly?- now I was communicating to kusuo by our minds, me clearly annoyed and confused by the sudden twist on the events.

-I'm sorry... this is for everyone's best- i rolled my eyes, I wasn't even sure what could go well with the new plan and now kusuo had changed everything, this was definitely not gonna end well.

-Agatha- I murmured confidently, she looked into my direction, her white eyes looking directly into my soul and leaving me gulping, I shook my head and stood tall next to her, I couldn't let her intimidate me.

-where's my brother?- I demanded an answer, but was surprised once I heard her whiny laughing, her eyes closed and wrinkles got more prominent, I hold my breath, not wanting to know what the laughing was about.

-you want to see him?- she murmured, still giggling a little, I nodded, a frown on my face but still with a demanding aura supporting me, which looked like intimidated a lot of soldiers because of the steps back they gave once they saw my mannerism.

-yeah, right, cato- she shouted, the petit god making his way dumbly to the front, his glasses now cracked from the left side and brown hair messily placed everywhere, he was trembling, his hands filled with blood, and a face that could read guilt all over.

-y-yes ma'am?- he trembled while talking, Agatha pointed at me then at the palace right behind us, a smug expression in her pretty face, Cato gulped and nodded his head, approaching me and finally taking my wrist.

-p-please fo-follow me- I walked behind him -I'm sorry- was all he could say, before we entered the palace.

-eck?- I shouted, the echo making it ten times more dramatic, we were in a prohibited section of the palace, everything looked so... dark.

-eck??- I shouted again, and each and every shout made Cato flinch, every time he just made himself smaller and smaller, me getting confused every time at the weird action.

-he... he's there- Cato pointed to a big black cube, with ropes and chains attached to the front door, I gulped, mortified of the scene, it looked like it was for bad guys, for extremely dangerous creatures that were a threat to society.

Eckon didn't deserved that treatment.

I made my way rapidly to the door, trying to unlock it with force, when I realized that wasn't gonna work I decided to give it a try and held my hand, concentrating myself into putting my power into my hand, thinking deeply, softly, with that a small flame came out of my hand, not to big but strong enough to melt the chains, allowing the door to open. I smirked, proud of my achievements now I'm stronger kai I thought.

My smile soon came off once I saw what the future awaited me.

-e-eck...- I managed to murmured, a tingling sensation in my stomach, I squeezed where my heart should be, shaking, glaring, crying, he was there, but that wasn't Eckon anymore.

The Eckon I knew would have greet me with his signature smile, saying my pet names, but instead I got a shaking Eckon, with only pants, sobbing uncontrollably, the Eckon I knew would have always care for how he looked, and this... this person had ashy hair, deep cuts everywhere from his chest, his back, elbows, arms everything. All of him.
The Eckon I knew, he was easy to understand, you would know what he was feeling because of his eyes, his eyes showed love, happiness, his eyes showed life.
And this Eckon... this Eckon had nothing, deep, scary, dark eyes, looking at me but not seeing me, not trying to understand who I was, not wanting to understand who I was.

I fell on my knees, trying to reach at him, the man didn't even mute, he just let it all happened. I touched his hair, his cheek, his shoulder, anything anything for him to move, to say something, to talk, to be him. But he didn't, this wasn't Eckon this wasn't my Eckon.

-y-you, what, what happened?- I looked at Cato, trying to understand something of what had happened, but nothing, he looked the same as me, broken.

-he's not my Eckon, he-he isn't, he's... he's not my brother- no no! He's not my!! He's not my brother Cato what happened?!??- I became a sobbing mess, taking the thin boy into my lap, touching his face, his lips, his eyes, eyebrows, he didn't responded to anything, he was empty, he had nothing else in his mind, he was dead.

-he-he is still breathing but- Cato had to stop to let out a quiet sob -but- but he suffered traumatic responses, I don't know what they did to him, t-they just... put him in some trance??- he took his sleeve, which was long and cleaned his nose, whimpering at the sight of one of his best friends soulless -he has seen too much (y/n), he's no worse than dead- I nodded, still caressing calmly my brother's features, he was always a handsome boy, what bring everything down was his personality, which I learned to love every day.

-I'm sorry (y/n)... I loved him too- he quietly made his way out of the cube -I little too much for a friend...- he managed to murmured, which didn't go unnoticed by me, but I couldn't managed to talk about it, I just wanted my brother my big brother...

Suddenly something snapped in me, something terrible, I knew what I had to do, I knew I had to do it, was I being selfish? For just wanting some happiness? Maybe, but living a hell of a life and seeing the only people I love getting destroyed wasn't something I was to keen on doing.

-go ahead Cato... I'll, I'll see you in a bit- Cato nodded, thanking me and giving a last glance to eck, I supposed he was also hurting, for I had knew from a start that Cato saw my brother more than a friend, I shook those feelings off, ignoring any nice moment I had with him, every smile, every laugh, I ignored everything, because it would hurt more.

With that, I leaned in, gave a quick kiss on his cheek, murmuring a I'm sorry and took my black cane , and with a quick swish... I ended my Brother's life, for good, I wanted to believe.

I made my way slowly to the court, where kusuo would be, I thought once I left the cube I would be unmotivated, I would hate everything, not wanting anything. But I didn't.

I wanted more.

I was mad, irritated, sad, confused, I was raging. Eck did everything he could to stop the stupidly that was the gods place, our leader was gonna be a goddess, a goddess that saw her benefit more than the mortals, a goddess that killed the most wise god just because she wanted the throne, the goddess who tortured an innocent god just because of her insecurity, a goddess, that I was gonna kill.

Stomping madly through the white halls, I could see gods and goddesses making their way to the big court, we never used that room, just because we didn't have decisions to make, everything was settle by the grand gods, we liked it or not.
The gods and goddesses that were left were pretty much on Agatha's side, happy, excited for the court, excited to see the boy that started all this get killed or tortured, saiki kusuo, my kusuo.

I entered the room, puffy eyes and pale skin accompanied by my rotten black dress, the cape at half and my cane looking stronger than ever, I rushed to where Agatha was, covering a door where I supposed was kusuo, waiting for the trial to begin. Which I knew wasn't gonna be a trial after all, Agatha just wanted to see kusuo in humiliation.

The feelings I had didn't go unnoticed, my aura went stronger and stronger, every person that was in my way stepped out, intimidated by my sudden vibe, my hands getting paler and paler, cracks getting on my face, looking like if I was made of stone, I summoned Amon, and he gladly made its way to my left hand, the power taking over me, looking for the person that made me like this, and once I got in front of Agatha, my sword gracefully made her way into her chest, a shocked expression in her features.

-I want to talk to kusuo- I paused, hearing a quiet gasp in Agatha's lips -now.-

I wasn't in my best place anymore.
