"How about Alex!" Tenner blurted in. Leona gestured for a sheet of paper Ryhem handed her. "Liam." Brian said one "I think Blake might be good." Hm A sign of strength and power hmm I don't want a cheesy name for the baby. "What about Roman?" I asked.
"How about Roman Alexander L. Ryhem?" Ryhem said. "Of course his first name won't be Roman Alexander L." (See what I slipped in there? Alexander. Alexander the great?)
(People, I am sick. This might be short. And no, it's not covid) We all nodded a mutual compromise. Ryhem called a nurse in. She held Roman's birth certificate in hand. Brian took it and signed his name. He also put Roman's name in the three categories. Roman I Alexander L. I Ryhem.
"It's done." He said, looking down at his baby. Should we be celebrating or being sad? *Knock *knock. Two knocks hit the door. Ryhem opened the door. He let mom in. She approached me. Ryhem grabbed her arm and yanked her back. Whispering something into her ear.
In the end, mom just set the clothes and the chocolate at the edge of my bed. But… I can't move. But as long as no one gets close to me. I tried to move my head. "So what was it like for all of you?" Mom asked. I grimaced, remembering the pain.
He put his arms to his sides. "I was trapped in a box. They had me chained to the chair with knives stabbing through my wrist every time I moved. They humiliated me stripping my clothes and branding m- me" Tenner broke down in tears.
At this moment a myriad of steps approached. I tried to use my power. A warm substance trickled down my face. Blood? That's never happened to me before. I shut it down before I went blind. Mom rushed towards me "Baby are you-" I swatted her hand away. "I'm sorry I- I- just."
Ryhem went to answer the door as mom stepped back. It was everyone's parents who came rushing in to hug their children but all of my friends just flinched and put their hands up. "What's wrong with my son!" A parent which I'm assuming was Raimy's yelled.
Ryhem approached the man. "Calm down there's a baby in here sleeping." Ryhem pointed to Roman. "I don't give a FUCK! What's wrong with my kid!" He yelled again. And again and again. Just shut up just shut up be quiet, be quiet!
"THERE'S NOTHING WRONG WITH ME DAD!!!" Raimy screamed. His expression quickly turned angrier. "Obviously there IS! I always knew that you were a defective child!" Nobody's going to talk to my friend Liked that! "Oh yeah and obviously you're defective parent since you're screaming at a kid who's practically crippled DUMBASS!"
"Who do you think you're talking to?" "You don't get to talk to me about being a "Defective parent!" He started walking towards me. "Yeah about to start screaming at another practically crippled kid? THAT'S WHAT I THOUGHT BITCH!" I yelled at him.
Ryhem grabbed his arm and flung him at a wall cracking it and a loud sound came from the wall. "If anyone here wants to act like him get out!" All of the adults shook their heads no and just sat down on the seats away from the beds. The door opened again and a teenager that looked to be about 17 walked in he looked like a gender-bend of Leona.
Apparently, while I was sleeping Leona had been learning sign language. She waved at her brother and did some handy things. Surprisingly it seems like her brother is deaf. He raised one of his eyebrows in confusion, and she shrugged.
Leona…
H-O I said to him in sign language I messed up a little bit(Fun fact O and I are actually pretty close in ASL). A-R-E Y-O-U O-K-A-Y He said back. I had learned sign language years ago after my parents died. My brother, during the attack, had an internship there. They threw a grenade at him and it exploded, completely destroying his eardrums. The doctors said they could only repair the tissue, not completely rebuild it.
He sat in one of the chairs. It was complete silence in the room. I know the others might not have seen it but Raimy's dad was about to hit Sapphire like the bitch he is. Damn, it's quiet in here. I wish I could speak to break the silence but my brain can't even move my throat anymore.
Tenner…
Mom and dad came interesting. Usually, they're apart because they hate each other weird. Maybe they came together just for me! Oh yeah. They separated in the first place because Mom wanted me and mom was addicted at the time but he separated from his old ways but then about 7 years later dad just couldn't handle the fact that his wife had slept with so many men.
Actually, I can understand why he left it wasn't like he was a deadbeat or anything. My dad is a lawyer now and is quite rich. But he still doesn't like my mom. Although I don't think I have the full picture of why they divorced. I'd love to be outside right now. Being trapped for so long being starved of food and other… things makes me appreciate the nature of life.
I've tasted death I'm not going to let that happen again without living my best life.
Brian…
Huh… I thought mom was taking a break from going outside or seeing me since I look like dad.
Ever since that dick of a father had been hurting mom...
Flashback third person…
It was just another day 7 years ago. Ted had gone away and come back again to a family that feared his return. "Damn woman! I told you to cook dinner not this shitty chicken!" He punched Brian's mother again.
She fell on the floor throwing up blood as the plate she was carrying cracked and stabbed her on the elbow.
They were in the kitchen Brian had his head down and so did Mina they weren't strong enough to go against their father. Mina was only 14 at the time. Ted turned around and looked directly at Mina.
"And you! Why have your grades been dropping!" He put his hand up using his power to make her stand still she cried tears preparing for what was about to come. He winded up and slapped her so hard her jaw broke she fell out of her chair. Holding her jaw she crawled away. "Stop! Please Please!" She crawled away from him slowly.
Brian, seeing this scene, grabbed a large kitchen knife not understanding what he was about to do. He approached him carefully while was crouched down about to punch her with all of his strength. . Mina stumbled back with tears and blood staining her t-shirt.
Through the soulbond that wasn't restricting then, Great-pa suddenly disappeared from the battlefield. He appeared and grabbed his child by the neck Ted. Brian stumbled back, not understanding what had just happened. Ryhem summoned every Ryhem, even those who had married into the family.
"I want all of you! To see what happens when you abuse, hurt, or even violently touch your family!" He beheaded Ted without hesitation, not even considering him part of his family anymore. They all saw the act of violence and felt a chain tug around their Power core's "I have set new restrictions on your power cores!"
He suddenly reappeared on the battle with a look of anger on his face "I'm not having a good day!" He rose up in the air. "Die." A loud thud was heard.
