New Life

Part 8

Tarso had always done what he was told, until one day that is...

It was the darkest day in the Regio family history. Kamak once more was having one of his episodes. Kamak ordered Tarso to do something so terrible that is must not be mentioned. Tarso flat out refused. He didn't want to taint his name anymore than how it was. He took a walk and only came back when the rest of the house was sleep. He caught up with work, he spent all night working. He didn't end up sleeping until the next night. 

Kamak wasn't pleased with him but didn't say anything about it to him. The day went by without any incident, Kamak never asked Tarso to do it again. That was the end of that. Tarso never killed and never gave the orders to do so. Kamak always had to do so.  At the end of the day each night he would remember how much Kamak was a horrible person, and that one day he might leave the Regio family behind. But he never did, and now he's to deep. Even if he wanted to now he couldn't, his brother was there. His life was there. He was more that ever determined to make Celso more human, to as not turn out like his father. 

He would often have nightmares of the screams that came from Celso's mother. He would then think that Kamak would think about turning on him. He helped plan Kamak's death. Dante and Tarso worked hard and made sure to have the help and guards turn on Kamak. He promised that they would keep their jobs and that Celso would be better than his father. He promised with his life, he failed to make Celso a better person if would cost him his life.  

Step one was to have Chiara move in. That night that Kamak and Dante died, he talked to Celso and had him take in Chiara. Chiara would show him emotions and would offer something he never had before, family. 

Step two hasn't taken place yet. And it wouldn't for at least one more week. Tarso had planed everything carefully. Never once had he ordered someones death or taken a life himself. Kamak wasn't human anymore. He hadn't been one for sometime now. Tarso convinced himself that that was the truth, the thought that he had help in taking out a life was to much for him. In order to get out of bed in the morning he had to lie. Not once did he ever stop thinking about Kamak. He knew that he had helped so many people but the thought killed a piece of him every second.

Chiara was a good friend and a great person. She worked at an orphanage and would often help out the sick and wounded at the hospital. Tarso knew that she would help.  But first he had to make Celso and Chiara talk. He told Celso to talk instead of fighting. Then he told Jen to tell Celso to apologize to Chiara. Celso did so, and as a result Chiara offered to help him become more human. His plan was working even better than he thought. He was happy to see Celso drinking water for dinner lunch rather than his usual wine. Tarso started to see a difference in how Celso acted and talked. Chiara was giving him lessons and he was listening. Tarso would win his life back and give a life to Celso, who's fathers life he took.

It was around 10 pm when Celso came home, drunk. He had gone out and dunk enough to make a man twice his size fall over.  

"Sir." Tarso came out of his office and walked over to the front door when he heard the door slam open. He ran to him and helped him walk.

"Tarso, I'm sad." Celso confessed. He burped slightly. His hair and clothes were a mess.

"And why is that sir?" Tarso pulled Celso up the stairs.

"I'm lonely. I'm lonely oh so lonely." He sang out almost. His voice sweeter than you would think.

"I'm sorry sir. Would you like me to find you someone to keep you company?  How about for the rest of your life?" Tarso joked and grunted. Celso's head bobbed up and down while Tarso dragged up butt up the stairs.
