When Death Comes Knocking

Chapter 5:

(Death PoV)

Well fuck, today is the fucking day. I believe that I will need help. I message both Tachanka and Alpha.

Me

Hey Guys, I need help. Alex come to mine and Sarah's Dorm. Sarah, come out of your room.

Tachanka

Ok comrade, I will be there soon.

Me

Sarah, you up?

Tachanka

I doubt she is, not with how drunk she was yesterday.

Me

You got the abuse too?

Tachanka

Unfortunately.

I walked out of my room and noticed that Sarah, Eliza, Ela and Meghan were all passed out in the living room.

Me

You I've found them Alex, bring some stuff to deal with hangovers, if you can.

Tachanka

Who else is there?

Me

Eliza, Ela, Meghan and Sarah are all passed out in the living room.

Tachanka

Ill swing by Doc to see if he can cook something up quick.

Me

Cheers.

I decided to make 5 coffees, one for each of us. Once they were made I walked into the living room and slowly woke them up. One by One, and then handing them their coffee.

Once they were all awake they looked like shit. "Yo, I had a weird dream last night, you actually spoke to us." Eliza said, I just sighed, "I did, you all may have been too drunk to realise it was real." I noticed all four of them were staring at me, Confused, like I was the messiah and just spoke the word of God. "Jesus I'm only a man. I can speak without sarcasm and sign language." I said, this earned a chuckle from Sarah. "I remember when we were getting interrogated one day and you started to sign to him like you were a mute." I chuckled with this, then Tachanka walked in with some concoction that Doc must have whipped up.

"This is to help cure your Hangovers comrades. Now Death, what do you need?" he asked, "Ok, I'm sorry to cut these meeting short but can You two ladies please leave, I need to talk to these 3 in private." I said pointing at Eliza and Ela. They looked confused but nodded and got up and left. Once they had left I made sure they were far enough away.

"Alex sit, this may confuse and startle you." I said, "Nothing can startle the lord Death." He said, "Meghan already knows my name." I said, looking over to Sarah, "Sorry Y/n." Sarah said sinking into the Sofa. I chuckled. "But I have found out some information recently. And this is hard to do seeing that this is the first time in about.....20......24 years...... yeah 24 years. It's been 24 years I have ever spoken in front of a family member, a biological one."

Alex instantly understood, "This startles the Lord." He said sitting down.

"Yeah, it startled me when I found out myself last night, although I had my suspicions for a bit, since you looked exactly like her. Meghan Castellano." She looked at me shocked, "Yeah that's my name? And?" she said, a bit irritated, "I don't even blame you for not knowing me anymore. It has been 24 years and I left when you were young." I said, Meghan finally caught on.

"Brother? Where have you been for all this time?" she said in tears hugging me, I didn't know how to respond, but I guessed hugging is a good start. "I couldn't live with them anymore. They abused me because I was a male, and you were their little princess. I couldn't take it anymore. So I just left. I didn't hate you at all, I just hated everyone else in that fucking family." I said, trying to hold back tears.

"They loved you, they both did." She said Crying, clearly trying to reassure me. "I'm sorry Meghan but they certainly have a strange way of showing it, one reason I always wear this mask is because of them. They broke me Meghan." I said, she looked at me, it was almost like she didn't want to believe it but she knew it was true.

"I'm sorry for leaving, but I couldn't stand it anymore, the constant abuse, verbal and physical. The amount of times they had broken my bones. And I could never tell you the truth, because they also did it when you weren't there or was asleep." I started crying myself. I took my gas mask off. Not caring if Alex or Sarah see my face. I shoved my head into my hands.

"I know Y/n, I know exactly what you talking about. For I heard it, and I was scared to step in. One reason I became a Navy Seal was to protect the innocent. Because of what they did to you. But I knew how much it happened shortly after because Dad turned over to me. Once I hit 16 I fucked off out of there as soon as possible." She said, "I only kept in touch with our cousins. Simply because they knew how much of a dick they were being. Our Uncles loved us, as it was Uncle Jim who took me in after I left Mom and Dad." She said. We slowly composed. But she was still pretty emotional, "I do have one request Meghan, Don't tell anyone about me. But I do promise I will start talking more." I said, she hesitated but eventually nodded, "Ok."
