------------

Remus was laying on his bed and stared at the door. He was waiting for Roman to bursts through it.
But deep down he knew Roman wouldn't.

Roman was the talented one of the twins after all. It was always Roman this Roman that, Roman won this and Roman got this good grade. But it was never Remus...

Remus did everything he could to get his parents attention, but with no reaction. He was always standing in the shadow of his brother. Even when they were babies you could see that their parents liked Roman better then Remus, their parents had thousand of photos of Roman and just three of Remus.

Remus remembered that one time they were in the city, Remus was too young to be left alone at home and they couldn't find a babysitter so Remus had to come with them. Remus did everything they asked him to do, carried the shopping full of new toys and clothes for Roman, didn't ask for anything and kept completely silent.

Roman got a happy meal,
Remus could have some bread at home.

If Remus had to point out the point in life where he was jealous of Roman and mad at his parents it wasn't until his teens when he met Dorion. He was in the streets again, he rather would be anywhere else then at home. He didn't quite know why.

When Remus bumped into Dorion he fell to the ground, he looked up and saw a stranger looking shocked at him. "I'm so sorry." The stranger said, helping Remus up.

The person who caused Remus to fall to the ground was around the same age as Remus, wore simple black clothes but had a necklace with a yellow snake symbol and a bracelet with the same symbol. His face was partly burned and if a normal person would've met him, he probably would've ignored him because he looked evil because of this wicked burn.

"Nah don't worry, I'm alright." Remus quickly said and smiled, the stranger laughed and then he saw Remus arm, it was bleeding like hell. "Y-your arm." The stranger said and then Remus saw his arm too, if he had to be honest, it could've been worse.

"Oh that's, it's nothing." Remus said quickly but the stranger looked desperate. "You need to take care of that wound, come with me, my mom is a nurse!" So the two boys, who had no friends and never fitted in somewhere, walked home.

"The name is Ceit," the stranger said, "Dorion Angius Ceit, but friends call me Dee." Dorion said and Remus smiled. "Remus Prince." He said and they shook hands, these two boys were destined to meet.

Now, five years later, Remus was home alone and it would've been heaven for him if the events of the last hour didn't raced through his mind. His parents were gone for a business trip and they made Roman in charge of Remus and the house, normally you could hear Roman singing Disney songs or practicing for a play, but now the house was as silent as dead themselves.

The silence was horrible and Remus needed to get away from the house as quickly as possible and there was only one place where he could possibly go, Dorion.

Remus ran out of the house and started running to Dorions house, he quickly checked his watch to make sure Dorion wasn't at his therapy session for his lying. Dorion had to be home, and Remus didn't know where else he could go.

When Remus arrived at Dorions doorstep, he was out of breath and coughed. He quickly rang the doorbell, Dorions mother opened the door. "Oh hey there Remus!" She was always so friendly. "Dorion is in his room, you look exhausted honey, is there anything that I can get for you?" She asked and Remus shakes his head, "no thank you miss Ceit."

The woman sighed and smiled. "Well call me if you need anything, would you mind telling Dorion that dinners is ready at six? Do you want to eat with us sweetheart? We're eating spaghetti." Remus smiled, Miss Ceit was too friendly but he couldn't deny her offer. "Will do, and I would love to eat here."

Remus quickly walked to the door leading to the basement and opened it, he ran down the stairs and sat down on the ground. Dorion was feeding his pet snake, Lydia, he didn't even look up when Remus walked in, he only checked his watch and smiled. "You're late Mus, normally you're already here before I'm back from therapy." Dorion laughed.

"He's dead, Dee." Remus closed his eyes and the events of the past hour were as clear as if they just happened. "Who's dead? Remus what have you done?!" Dorion said and he closed the terrarium of Lydia.

Remus tried to swallow away some tears but a single one still rolled down his cheek. "Roman Prince is dead."

"Hey Remus, would you mind getting me some cola?" Roman asked as he put some more popcorn in his mouth. Remus stood up and walked to the kitchen, he grabbed the gun he hid in the cupboard, and wondered if he could kill his brother with this. He could hear an annoying sigh coming from the living room but Remus just ignored it.

"Remus I know it might be hard with that small brain of you to find a glass but I really want my cola now." Remus tightened his grip around the gun as he heard Roman sigh and stand up from the couch in the living room. "Remus what the hell is taking you so long."

Roman stood in the doorway, without clearly thinking of what he was going to do he fired the gun straight in Romans chest. Roman fell to the ground but you could see the surprise on Romans face, and then the light behind Romans eyes disappeared.

The kitchen floor and Romans white suit slowly started turning red and then the realization hit Remus about what he has done, strange enough, he felt relieved. "You haven't met me," Remus whispered, "I am the only son."

"I killed Roman Prince." He told Dorion and Dorion shook his head in disbelief, they always joked about killing Roman and his parents but they never really meant to do it. "No, Mus... you can't have done it... that's impossible... Remus... are you sure he he's dead?"

"Yes sir, yes sir, yes it was me, I know what I've done cause I know what I've seen, I went out back and I got my gun, I said you haven't met me, I am the only son."

Ah well I kinda rewrote it and it's really shitty and I have like seven other saved stories that'll probably turn out better but have this in the meantime.
