Moving into the doorway I felt an intense pressure and my instincts were telling me to run. Taking Izett's advice to heart I steeled my nerves before entering the threshold. Putting one foot inside I felt like the world was pushing down on me and I started getting cold sweats. Bringing my second foot inside I started moving around the house but the scenery suddenly changed into something I was overly familiar with. My body shrunk as I walked into the kitchen where my mother was cooking breakfast. I didn't know how to react. My eyes filled with tears and my heart ached. I ran up to her and hugged while crying, "Mom, is it really you?".
I could feel her warmth and the same comforting feeling I haven't felt in what seems like forever. She turned to me and returned the hug saying, "Of course. Who else would I be?".
For the first time in a while I was filled with joy until a cold voice cut through the air. Izune walked into the kitchen. He looked younger but his eyes still held hatred. I put my arm in front of my mother and tried to use my ability but nothing happened. Trying to vibrate at least a finger but still nothing. Izune must have noticed the hatred and anger I harbored in my eyes. He gave a devilish smile and said, "Follow me Rokuza. It's time for training.".
Following him cautiously we made our way outside. Throwing a wooden sword at me he rushed with an attack swinging from the right. I barely managed to block it. My arms were tired from receiving one attack. I haven't felt this helpless since the day MOM DIED. This series of events are the same that happened on the worst day of my life. I need to kill him now. Rushing into him I thrust the wooden sword towards his abdomen letting go before it hit. I quickly spun around sending a kick into the hilt of the sword giving it more force. He disappeared before anything happened and I heard a breath behind me. Suddenly everything went dark. When I woke I was tied to a chair while mom was laying on the floor in front of me.
Izune walking out from behind me had his sword drawn and reached down and picked mom up by her throat. I screamed, "Stop! I can't go through this again.".
His smile grew as he dropped mom and disappeared for a couple seconds before reappearing next to me. Watching mom fall to the ground her body started to turn into chunks before hitting the ground. My heart broke and tears were falling down my face. I felt the warm sensation of my entire being vibrating before running at Izune. Next thing I knew I was back in the kitchen looking at mom again. I grabbed the wooden sword from the front door and ran directly to where Izune was and swung at him. I was suddenly on the ground with him sitting on top of me. He started throwing punches non stop until I could barely breathe. Mom tried to pull him off of me but to no avail. After seeing I couldn't fight back he grabbed his sword from beside the couch and thrust it through mom's chest picking her up off the ground before slicing her to pieces.
I was once again in the kitchen not knowing what to do. I slowly walked to the living room and took Izune's sword as silently as possible and hid it outside. Returning to the house he was waiting for me by the door and asked, "What did you do with my sword?".
I answered, "I didn't touch it.".
"Lies. I watched you walk outside with it.", He said coldly.
"You're not my father. I hate you.", I hatefully said.
He grabbed me by the hair and drug me into the kitchen. Izune screamed, "What have you been teaching him? He says I'm not his father and he hates me.".
Mom looked terrified. Before she could speak he punched her and climbed on top of her and said, "If you're not gonna speak then I guess you don't need a mouth.".
He kept hitting her in the mouth laughing maniacally. Turning towards me he asked, "Wanna see something interesting?".
He started running in circles around her creating a small air current. The blood and small pieces of mom were being thrown by the tornado. It disappeared leaving mom's body lying on the floor with only her head being fully intact. I started mumbling, "I can't do this again. I can't save her. Izune is too strong. Mina, please help me.".
Returning to the start point again I decided to do something drastic and also very traumatic for me. I walked up to mom and told her, "I love you. If I don't do this father will make you suffer a terrible fate.".
I grabbed the knife off the counter and stabbed her directly in the heart. I lowered her to the floor and closed her eyes before going to face My father. I walked into the room and said, "We're more alike than I realized Dad. It's just like you said. My rage and hatred will consume me one day but I have things I need to accomplish. This is goodbye for now.".
Reaching for my sword I returned to reality face to face with Liam. I had no words for him so I quickly took his head and left the house and changed before dropping off Liam's head to Izett's hideout. Taking out the bag of pills I crushed them before throwing them out. I took a detour near the castle looking at the tower before heading back to the inn. I need rest but mostly I just want to see Mina.
