Eyes As Dark As A Night

Chapter 6 (The Promise)

Hey guy wanted to talk about something before we get started, 2020 has been tremendously history books changing.  I pray that everyone stays safe.

Now let's get into the story....

" Did you miss me? Has your life gone to complete shit? Let's hope not, I still got a few tricks up my sleeves"

I wake up, panting. I quickly sit up and sigh to myself. It's the fourth time, I have had this dream since my parents died. I would say it scares me but honestly it makes me feel excitement .

I like it.

I forget that I have emotions sometimes. So when I do have that dream, I get this overwhelming feeling of pain. I forget that I can even feel pain.

There is this numbness that lives in my body. I almost feel paralyzed.

*flash back*

* I sigh. Finally glad to be out of that bus. I rush after my sister inside the house. When I enter, I shut the door and hear a scream*

I close my eyes, still hearing that broken scream in my head. I look out of my window and see trees relaxing with the autumn air.

So peaceful. I used to wonder what it was like to be so empty and peaceful. I now know what the empty part feels like.

To be honest I had no future that I could see. I only have one more thing to do before I ended it. And that kept me going.

Being Peaceful Doesn't Mean you're at peace.

There was this voice screaming in my head. She wanted to be let out. She wanted to be understood. She wanted to truly feel peaceful.

Human. It was the human side of me. It was the side of me who had emotions. Who cried and cried. It was me who wasn't brave enough to end it.

The trees outside began to stir. The kitten I had found in the bushes yesterday hopped on my lap.

The cute-weak little thing had a lot of energy. The kitten reminded me of myself a few years ago.

I set the kitten aside getting out of bed.

Since my days were so simple, I didn't really have much excitement. I didn't mop around like you may assume.

I focused all of my time trying to figure out who killed my parents. The first person I checked was King.
I knew absolutely nothing about my mate. I just knew that something was mentally wrong with him. Which now that I think about it is something we might have in common.

But why would he kill my parents? How could he benefit?

My second suspect is my ex neighbor.
He's always been very jealous of our family. I know what you're thinking, that doesn't give him The title of a murderer.

One night we were over his house for a family dinner and I stumbled along his room of guns. I never told anyone about it. He had about 50 guns in that room. I do not know much about his job but I am 100% sure he worked as a local Manager at a convenient store.

Somehow he had a lot of money as he lived in our upper middle class neighborhood.

Obsessed. I was obsessed with this case.
A glove, a piece a hair, a lost picture.
I needed to find something.

I felt like crying, even though I couldn't feel any tears. I wasn't sad but I just wanted to cry to convince myself that I was normal.

I wanted to cry to prove to myself that my sanity was still intact.
....
I sigh entering my first class of the day. I have been waiting for him. I didn't know when he was going to show up. Did I want him to show up? I did. 50 minutes into the class, security guards barged in.
