It has been two weeks and all my bruises and pain gradually went away. I was like a dead person who still walked, ate and slept. My life has been shattered into peices, I just didn't know what to do with it..
When I was in my room, thinking about those things, I heard a noise coming from outside the door and I slowly walked up to the door to hear it. I could recognize Ezra's voice but there was another person and it wasn't Elijah. His voice sounded, panicked and pissed off.
They were yelling at each other. I heard they say my name multiple times and Ezra was blaming him for coming and he was blaming her for hurting..me. Then I heard their footsteps, they were coming towards my room in a hurry.
I ran back to the bed and sat on it. Suddenly the door flew open and a guy who looked a lot like me entered the room along with Ezra. She didn't look at me and kept her head turned away while the other guy came upto me and kneeled down infront of me.
I looked down to meet his eyes and they were filled with tears. He tried his best to hold it but he started crying as he put his arms around me and his head on my lap.
I assumed that he was my brother my aunt told me about. Not knowing what else to do, I slowly patted his head. Then his cries turned into a sob!
"I-I am sorry Eirene. I failed to protect you. I couldn't keep my word.. I am so very, deeply sorry." He sincerely apologized. Ezra gritted her teeth as she pulled him away by his collar.
"Enough" She said.
"No" He slapped Ezra's hand and asked, "just give me a couple more minutes. I want to talk with her, alone. Please give us some privacy." Ezra gave him a death stare and went out the room uttering, "ya have five minutes."
"Are you my brother?" I asked. "Yes, call me Jay." "Jay? I am a little confused.. I don't know if I can trust you, what if this is one of their tricks...? and where is my father?"
"Listen Eirene, I don't have a lot of time to explain. They killed your father and that Issac and your aunt are snakes. They are evil. They are behind everything. They were the ones who killed your mother and our father. They are behind everything."
"Everything?"
"Yes, all the pain and everything you had to go through was also because of them. your aunt betrayed your mom and now my father too. They will eventually kill you too."
"I don't even know whether I want to live anymore."
"Please don't say that, I need your help, you can't die. I care for you believe me, your mother believed me when she asked me to protect you."
"But where were you when everything that happened to me, happened? where were you? How can I believe you when we just met."
"I was with my father, he was sick. And no, we have met earlier. You have forgotten, but I never forgot when I watched you leaving from my window. I also remember playing with you. I even hit you with a pillow." He smiled.
"I promise I will get revenge for everything they did. But please I want your help in this. I can't do this without you. Trust me, just give me one chance and I swear.. you won't regret it."
"What can I possibly do? Don't you see? I have become their toy, a living dead person. I am useless!"
He kneeled down infront of me again and looked deep into my soul through my ice blue eyes.
"I see that there is something special about you, Eirene. I can feel it. Of course, you are capable of doing anything. Don't let them ruin your life like this."
"Haven't they already?"
"Eirene, we don't have much time so listen to me, carefully. I will be waiting for your presence at the small gate near the balcony hall. I will explain everything-"
"Just tell me everything now."
"Fine. Your aunt and Issac killed your mom and our dad too. They are not who you think they are. They shattered our family. They kidnapped you and sent you away."
He continued after a pause, "They didn't kill me because I am useful to them, and they used me all this time, they still do. They killed your mom and she died in my arms. The last thing she said was, "protect your sister."
After that they sent me and dad away. He died from an unknown illness the day before yesterday. The exact way your mom died."
He started crying but quickly wiped his tears and continued, "sorry, I just miss him a lot. We have to avenge our parents, Eirene. I want you in this please, I beg you. You're my only family. We only have each other." I listened tohim silently.
"What are we gonna do?? They are powerful. We are just youngsters. What can we possibly do against them?" I asked after a few seconds.
"Yakgrah, also known as, 'Black Divonster'. We should ask him for help."
"Who is he??"
"He is the leader of the most dangerous part in this mafia world."
"D-does he have white hair and sand brown eyes?"
"Yes but how do you know-"
Everything that had happened with him flashed before my eyes.
"He- he's not a good guy, Jay. He won't even agree to help us."
"He will, cuz I know his biggest secret. He is in love with a girl. I can have him wrapped around my finger because of his this weakness." "But how do you kn-" "I have my ways. So, Eirene, are you with me?"
I thought for a moment and said, "Okay, I will help you. But," Suddenly his expression changed as he looked at me like a sad disappointed puppy. "there is a but?" He asked in a sad tone.
I smiled and said, "Silly boy, I am going to help you, don't worry."
"Then why da hell is there a but??" He asked pouting his lips like a kid.
I laughed a bit and said, "I just wanted to ask what will happen after we get revenge?"
"You can be the queen of the mafia!" He said, his eyes sparkling. "I am not interested in that though.. maybe you should be the king of-"
He interrupted me, "No no! That is not fair! You are the elder one, even though it's just a year.. It's your right!, you have to take it. It's your responsibility."
"But what will you get in return?"
"Revenge is enough for me, sis. And after you become the queen, I'll be there by your side, always, to support you. I promise."
I felt the pain, emptiness and heavy, uneasiness in my heart slowly going away as I smiled and pat his head, making his messy hair even messier.
"Nooo, It took me minutes to style my hair."
He stood up making his hair with his hands. I also got up from the bed, smiling and gave him a sisterly hug. He hugged me back and I felt hot tears dropping on my shoulder.
I moved away from the hug and looked at Jay who was looking down and he said, "I am sorry."
I asked, "sensitive, are we?" we both smiled at each other and suddenly, we heard the door open and Ezra barged in looking pissed.
I started panicking from inside but I didn't show it. I looked at my brother who looked equally petrified. Our plan for revenge would be over before it even started.
'Was she listening to us this whole time?' I thought secretly cursing Ezra.
