Chapter 23 - Revenge

The Duration of a normal triple full moon was 3 hours, in which a lot could happen, and the consequences were still enormous to the people from Delwias Island.

Isiah sat in front of the house all morning and till the afternoon, his parents left so he found himself forced to stay by himself.

He never lived alone but he craved it his whole existence.

The first step was already unidentified to him.

Sometimes you need just the first step and the rest is easy.

Because only that step will give the right direction and target eventually.

He sat there for hours thinking of endless answers to that conversation between him and his parents.

Until a crazy idea reached his head, that was never going to happen, he would have lived a whole life like this if it wasn't for the person responsible for the fire.

Isiah didn't see them, but he had an idea about someone who did.

Immediately he stood and fastly walked towards that house in the middle of the woods.

He was blinded by anger, the only thing that kept him under control was his parents' expectations but now realizing that none of that mattered just made him furious.

The first time Isiah was in that place he was not in a healthy state to notice anything about that house, but now and under sunlight he was able to form a full picture.

It looked more like his house but brighter, maybe because of the pink color that was used in painting its walls or the heaven-like garden that was all around it.

But that house was qualified to be one of the prettiest in the district.

He knocked on the blue wooden door fastly and loudly as he couldn't contain his anger.

Seconds after the door opened and Ethyl opened it with her eyes almost closed, she yawned in front of him then said:"We haven't slept the whole night, why are you being so noisy at this hour !"

" Tell me their names" He yelled at her impassionately.

" Who's name!"

" The ones you saw when the fire started"

"Do I have to?... Isiah Duncan" She was still wiping her eyes, then after that, she tried to close the door.

"Yes, you have to ''Isiah yelled at her again while putting his arm in front of the door to make sure that she didn't close it while he was still standing there.

"No …no ..of course, if you don't, you showed up here like a crazy person and you want me to tell you their names! What do you take me for !"

Isiah grind his teeth trying to control his emotions but she added:" Well, it's not like if you found out their names you're gonna beat them alright !"

She made a valid point again, she was always telling the truth but right now he didn't want to hear any rational thought.

She saw his anger written all over his face, his face was worse than she had ever seen him, however, the need to talk him out of doing anything kept nagging inside of her ….yet she decided to let him face them.

Facing them was the only way for him to shut his mouth and move.

"Your neighbors for a start…I told you about that, why do you need to ask again, are you hesitant about taking your revenge on them? huuuum…the murderer's brother has some logic inside of him …or is it weakness!"

Always with her sarcastic way of speaking, she drove him crazy because of that, and that's why he had to just leave her without even taking her with him to point some faces.

"Oh dear …don't let yourself get kicked okay !"She waved at him, but Isiah was already on his way to them.

He walked all the way to his neighborhood, he already wanted to fight with Richard even when he knew he couldn't stand a chance.

The moment Isiah put a step onto their estate, he saw his mother fixing their garden while his father was taking care of their animals, some chickens, rabbits, dogs…

"Where is Richard?"He couldn't control his voice so it appeared a bit sharp.

Richard's father noticed that he was angry so he avoided answering him, while his mother smiled at Isiah and left what she was doing and got closer to him.

She patted his head as she always considered him as a kid of her own because she helped his mom during his labor and watched him grow all these years.

For only a second Isiah calmed down, that is until he saw Richard getting out of his house with a smile on his face.

Richards's mom said:" I walked to your house, what happened to you, I searched for your parents but I didn't find them, some neighbors told me that they left and I thought that you left with them …..they didn't even say goodbye"

Isiah was listening to her but the moment he saw Richard's face he just got triggered and said:" Don't expect warm goodbyes when you burn someone's house".

His eyes were fixed on Richard's, he wanted to kill right away, his mother grabbed his arms, very surprised by what he said.

"Why! Why are you acting like this, my boy? "

" I need to talk to you son," Isiah replied firmly.

But she stood in front of him and said while holding on to him: " Can't let this happen, not when you are having those crazy eyes, you have never been this way, I never so you like this Isiah …just calm down and talk to me "

He just pushed her away until she fell to the ground with tears in her eyes.

Seeing that made Richard irritated so he ran towards Isiah and collected his fist punching him on his right cheek.

Isiah punched him for what he did, physically he was able to cause him harm but when Richard realized that, he just stepped back and waved his hand in the air while focusing on his neck and said "Strangle ".
