"Out of all places you could be, you are hanging out in our getaway spot" I raised an eyebrow at him.
He chuckled and said
"No matter how much I hate this place, it is and always will be my favorite spot"
As much as Zene wants to slit his throat, I also do, but I know I wouldn't be able to.. I want to know his story... I don't like getting angry at a person without knowing their story. Ok, that would be a lie after I take my anger out then I consider hearing their story.
"Why would you make my life difficult? Why did you hypnotize Knox? Why did you kill Carrie? Why did you attack our parents? Why do you continuously hurt me?" I yelled at him. Taking my frustration, confusion all at him.
He stood up from his spot and looked at me with an emotion I couldn't make it out.
"Why did you side with the witches?" I ask a question which has been nagging me a lot.
As if I triggered something, anger flashed in his silver orbs, everyone says it's grey but it's silver if you look closely, trust me I am 100% sure it's silver.
"You think I wanted to hurt you your whole life? Do you think I wanted to be a vampire? You think I wanted to be a blood sucking monster? You don't even know the whole story don't blame me for something I didn't do." he gritted with a cold glare.
I shivered in fear.
"Everything I did was for you. The reason I am a vampire was to protect you. Every fucking moment of my life I spend to protect you and you ask why I continuously hurt you?" He yelled.
I stare at him in complete confusion, shock and fear. I have never seen him be this angry at me! It was always someone else experiencing his wrath.
"Then tell me everything. You can't expect me to run behind you after I saw your hands covered in blood and Carrie's dead body in your hand" I glared at him.
"I am not telling you anything to you. I am not telling the Queen or the Alpha" He growled.
"But I am ready to tell my sister," He added.
My glare softened. I carefully watch his moves as he plops himself on the ground, his legs inside the water. Sighing, I started rolling my jeans. I cautiously went and sat next to him copying his actions.
"It all started here" He started with a sad smile.
"When you were four we used to sneak from our pack and play here. I don't think you remember though. We were playing hide and seek, I still remember you trying to convince me to play with you. I couldn't say no to you so even though dad said no I brought you here to play. You used to get angry at me as I catch you easily by tracking your scent. When I was hiding two men appeared behind me startling me. Since I was a pup I wasn't good at detecting threats or figuring out if rogues were near me. But even so, I didn't show any weakness. I didn't like them so I growled while glaring." He chuckled as if laughing at his stupidity.
"They chuckled, mocking me, making my wolf and me angry. I brought my silver dagger out. I set up my mind to kill them not caring if I would survive or not. 'if you let us do what we came for without causing any trouble your sister will survive' fear surged through my body. I turned to look at you, you were still searching for me but there was a rogue in his wolf form, hiding, ready to pounce on you. Even if I managed to kill these both men which my Eight-year-old self believed he could, I wouldn't be able to save you." He sighed.
"I was still learning how to mind link, my pathetic Eight-year-old self was out of options. I put my silver dagger down and with glancing at you one last time I walked towards them. They injected me with something I didn't know what it was at that time but I now know that was vampire venom. They give the venom in small doses so it doesn't kill the wolf. After that, they left me standing weak and pathetic. We went back home. I felt useless. I couldn't protect you or myself." He took a sharp intake of air.
I blinked my tears away. Right now I just want to hug him.
"Once a month they come and inject me with it again. Once they asked me to come to their base. I felt like a coward. There were many children locked up in cells. There were dead bodies being carried here and there. I came to know that all of them were experiments. Failed once were tortured or raped or made as slaves or sold. Their screams echoed through the walls." a tear escaped his eyes.
"I overheard them saying that I was reacting well to the venom. The kids kidnapped from packs were kept here. They were used as an experiment including me. I didn't like feeling weak. After that day I trained a lot harder. Changing all my emotions to anger making anger my defense. The next time I went into their base I attacked them, which was hard as they didn't have great security but I was captured. They tortured me with wolfsbane and silver. They never killed me cause I was the only successful experiment. But the wolfsbane and silver weakened my wolf, because of the Alpha blood in me, my wolf was stronger than normal wolves that why the venom didn't kill me, but my wolf being weak it would kill me. They were planning on kidnapping you, I couldn't let that happen. I couldn't let you become an experiment. I couldn't let you suffer. Gathering every bit of energy left in me and with the help of the kids in the neighboring cell, I managed to escape the cell. I managed to rescue the kids. I told Dad about finding a base accidentally. The dead kids were buried and were given a proper funeral."
I couldn't hold longer. Tears escaped my eyes. I hugged my brother, which I missed doing. He hugged me back. He had to go through all of this to protect me. He did it to protect me!
"I didn't tell anyone about me being an experiment. I thought everything was over. The venom they injected in me didn't have any effect. After eight years, right on your twelfth birthday, there was a rogue attack. I didn't know there was one shot left. I didn't know that their experiment would become a success if they shot one final dose of venom. They shot me while I was fighting rogues. But they didn't only shoot me, they shot someone behind me too. When I recovered from the effects of the venom I looked behind to see who was shot." he paused and took a deep breath as a few tears fell.
"It was Carrie. Instead of giving the dose of venom slowly they shot her with complete venom. She was rolling on the ground growling and screaming her lungs out, her wolf was fighting it. Her body was fighting the venom killing her in the process. I tried getting the venom out. That's when Mom and dad pulled me off her. I was just trying to get the venom out of her system. I glanced at you and broke into a million pieces. One thing I never wanted you to feel towards me. Fear and hurt" he said looking into my eyes.
I let out a sob.
"I left the pack in order to not hurt you. But I always kept an eye on you. It takes everything in me to not go and comfort you when you cry. I left so I wouldn't see tears in your face because of me but each time you cried out was always because of me" his silver orbs glistened with tears.
"I am the worst brother, friend, son, and person" he sobbed.
My heart broke into a million pieces seeing my broken brother in front of me. I almost died. I immediately hugged him embracing my innocent brother. Who I spent years hating for something he didn't do.
"I know if I told you everything you would believe me. But I also know you can even bear someone hurting you but you can never bear someone who hurt you friends or someone you love. I know you would make the person's life a living hell whoever hurts the people you love and care. I didn't know what to do when you thought I killed your best friend."
"I am sorry you had to go through all that" I sobbed embracing him.
