Chapter 5 - Realization

Xian Quints (POV)

I opened the front door and the sight inside looked like something straight out of a horror movie, incomplete dead bodies scattered everywhere and their severed limbs also scattered all around, blood was everywhere to the points my shoes were soaked in it already. The image of my wife and son flashed in my mind, I couldn't think of anything else as I ran through the bodies

"Leona! Leona!! Leona!!!" I kept calling out but no reply, I ran frantically, searching for them all the way to the back where I found them, Leona was lying in a pool of her own blood with an earth spike impaled in her chest and our son, Lex lying unconscious next to her. With one look, I knew she was dead.

"Leona!" I knew she was dead but I was still holding on to a thread of hope that maybe, just maybe she was still alive. I rushed over to her and checked her pulse, I felt her arm and it was cold and there was no pulse, I knew what this meant, she was gone. I hurriedly checked Lex, he was still breathing, he must have fainted from shock, I hope this doesn't give him a trauma. I picked him up and took him outside where my teammates were checking the scene to find any clue.

"Where is Leona?" Jake asked

"She's gone...gone forever" I said solemnly as I placed Lex down, I couldn't stop the tears from pouring, images of Leona kept flashing in my mind, her smile, even her angry face. I stopped crying and faced the reality that I'll never see her again, I looked at my sons face drained of color from shock and made a promise.

"I'll protect you with my life, this would not happen again, I promise you" I said as I caressed his white hair, now with a tint of red from all the blood.

Lexi Quints (POV)

I woke up in a room or should I say a void, because I couldn't see anything far away and all around me was white. Out of nowhere, an orb with different colors appeared and was getting closer to me but I paid no attention to it, all that was in my head now was what happened. Why? Why was it me? Why did she have to die? Why for me? Why did Anne do that? Was all her love fake?(Anne was his nanny, also the masked person) Who sent her? Why is killing me so important? I can't trust anyone anymore, huh? Am I destined to be in pain in both lives? Why me? Why? I kept asking myself these questions that I didn't know when the orb entered into my body. In the midst of questioning myself, I unknowingly shut myself in, life had no meaning now, the world has lost its color, that was my final thoughts as I was jerked back to my body.

I slowly opened my eyes to adjust to the bright light, I looked at the white ceiling and couldn't recognize it.

'Where am I? I don't know this place' before I could think of anything else, I heard a voice beside me

"My little prince, you're awake" dad said and held my arm. I didn't feel anything when looking at him and I got up and just kept staring at him, then he called the physician.

The physician ran some tests and did some other things to make sure I was alright, I just kept staring at him.

"What's wrong with him? Why isn't he talking?" Dad asked the physician

"There is nothing wrong with him, he just shut himself from the world, it's going to be hard to get him to open up, he is definitely going through trauma" the physician said and left.

"Son, I'm sorry for being late, because of me you lost your mom, I'm sorry" he said and stood up to leave "get well soon" he said and left. I just kept staring blankly into space and like that 6years passed by in a flash.
