The remaining students began to leave the room. A cacophony of noise was heard from the small crowd of students grumbling.
After they left the room was now awfully quiet.
Aiden then turned at Maria with an angered face.
"What the hell Aiden?!", Maria shouted out in anger.
"I should be the asking you that!", Aiden started to argue with Maria.
"You're really making those little brats run this place likes it theirs?!", He asked.
Maria hesitated to speak suddenly, "D-do you even know who that girl is?!".
"I don't know. Just some tom boy brat!", He answered.
"No you idiot. That's the minister's daughter asshole!", She explained.
Aiden glared at Maria and said, "So?".
"So? We can be punished if we are caught messing around with his daughter!".
"Then he should have educted his tom boy daughter to have manners!", He fumed.
"Ahem. I'm still here.", Ken interrupted their argument.
"Then get out!!!"
"Then get out!!!"
They both shouted.
"Ok, sheesh.", He exited the class as instructed.
"..."
Ken was on his way back to his room. The passage was silent and lonely, not a single soul to be seen out of Ken's eyes.
Eventually a figure appeared in front of him. The person was good distance away from his, so he could properly see the person.
But why would he want to see the person. He continued walking minding his own business. He lowered his head when he closely approaching the person.
When looked up back he saw someone familiar. A person with orange hair and a white jacket, black shirt and pants.
It was Kerado.
Even though seeing the familiar person he continued on his journey. To Ken he was still a stranger. A stranger he was envious of.
"(How does a guy like that get two god damn girlfriends?!)", He asked himself in his mind while walking towards Kerado.
They were right at each other's shoulders now. Ken continued on his way not looking or saying anything to his crew member.
Kerado paused in his tracks after seeing Ken pass him with out greeting him.
"Hey.", Kerado called.
Ken was bring to a halt by Kerado. He turned around slowly. Infront of him was Kerado standing tall before him.
"Why didn't say anything?", He asked.
Ken couldn't find the right words to express himself, "Ahhh?".
"..."
*BIP, BANG, PING*
These sounds ringed out in someone's room. Kerado's room to be exact.
Kerado was on his bed holding the game controller while Ken was on the floor holding one as well.
"(How the fuck did I get here? First I was arguing with Kerado about greetings and now I'm in his room playing video game!", His voice was mixed with anger, confusion and envy.
"You are trash!", Kerado told Ken.
"That's because your the one in your room playing this all day.", Ken fought back.
"Hehe. You don't know that.", Kerado said.
"Uh huh?", Ken inquired.
"Uh huh.", Kerado reinsured .
Half on hour passes by. Nonstop, the two continue playing game after game after game.
Eventually Ken asked Kerado a question, "Why did you bring me here?".
Kerado looked at Ken and then back at the TV.
"Why did you ask?", Kerado inquired.
"Because I don't feel like you brought over here to play video games only.", He said.
Kerado went silent after hearing what Ken said.
"Come on, spill the beans", Ken said.
"Fine.", Kerado submitted.
"Did you... love your.. dad?", Kerado asked.
"What?".
"Did you love your dad?", Kerado inquired again.
"Of course I loved my old man. When I was a little kid.", Ken reinstated.
Kerado thought out loud, "Hmmm?".
"Why did you ask?", Ken inquired.
"I shouldn't go so deep in the matter.", Kerado said.
"Why not? Just finish what you started.", Ken said.
Kerado started to stare at Ken. He broke his gaze after awhile.
"Okay. But tell anybody!", Kerado said.
"Of course not.".
"*Sigh* When I was little kid and outside was.. different, my father abused me and my mother.", Kerado started.
"Eventually he died, but I still can't get that man out of my head. He was asshole but he was still my creater", Kerado explained.
Ken listened to Kerado's words diligently. He was concerned about Kerado's past.
"I kinda get it. His your father after all and you get just forget him, but.. he still deserved to die!", Ken imposed.
"Hmm. (You don't get it. The reason I can't forget my old my is..".
He killed him.
"(..I killed him.)".
Ken inquired about something to Kerado, "Since I like help you about your trauma and everything.. can you do something for me?".
"What is it?", He asked.
He simply said, ".. Punch me".
"What?", Kerado was confused by Ken's words.
Ken got up off the floor and said, "You heard harem. Punch me.".
"Why?", Kerado inquired again.
"Because I want to dodge them.", He said.
"You're weird, but alright", He submitted.
Kerado's got up off his bed. He pulled back his whole arm and threw it straight at Ken.
Because of the slow movement of Kerado, he was able to dodge in the nick of time.
Kerado threw another punch this time with his right hand, his dominating hand. But once again, he pulled back his hand and punched it forward. Ken dodge the attack once again.
This went on like this until 12:00 PM. Both Ken and Kerado were exhausted and weakened from the unnatural exercise.
Ken wiped the sweat off his face with his palm.
"Phew. *Huff, huff*. That was exhausting.", Ken complained.
"See around I guess?", Ken departed from Kerado's room.
Before leaving he asked, ''One more thing. Why did you come back down to level five? You that they allowed us to go from level one to level thirty nine right?".
".. Yeah, but.. I like living here more than up there", Kerado answered.
"Suit yourself. Good night!", Ken said.
"Good night.", Kerado also said.
"..."
.
.
.
After seeing Ken leave his face darken. He turned off all the lights in his room and sat on the bed.
He was hesitant about sleeping. His eyes were tired and weak.
He eventually submitted to his bodies desire. He lift his leg up to the bed and rested his head on the pillow he closed his eyes and started to wonder off in his sleep.
*Creak*
Kerado's eyes are forcefully opened. From the corner of his room he heard a sound.
"(Is someone here?)", He thought.
He tried to get up off the bed but found it impossible. For some reason he couldn't move. Not one part of his body would move.
"(Oh shit)", He weep.
His entire body was frozen still. He couldn't move any part of his body at all.
He was paralyzed.
A dark figure emerged from the corner of his room. The grinned menacingly at Kerado in his vulnerable state. Even the pitch black it's white and yellow teeth were visible.
The figure got closer to Kerado's bed. Soon Kerado could make out the figure with his bare eyes.
He stammered his words at the face of this entity, "D-d-dad?".
"Hehehe!", The being maniacally started laughing.
It raised it's hand in the air. A object shined in his hands. A knife.
He rapidly lowered the knife. Finally it hit.
*Stab!*
The entity had stab Kerado in the abdomen. It raised the knife from Kerado's wound and stabbed again.
Kerado could feel every single one. He actually felt like he was getting stabbed. He couldn't shout for help or even cry in despair. He had to lay their and took them all, cause he didn't have a choice.
Did he?
The answer is simple.
In total the entity had stabbed Kerado one hundred and fifty six times in the lower area.
The entity chuckled, "Hehehe!!", Before vanishing.
"Ahhh!!!", Kerado screamed.
The answer was no.
The nightmare was once again over.
The pain he had felt instantly was gone. All the tears and wounds he had suffered were gone. It was all a dream?
He rest his forehead on his palm. He started to cry.
"Fuck you old man!! Fuck you!!", He cried.
"Even when you're dead you still find ways to hurt me!".
"Fuck you god damnit!!".
His paralysis demon would still hunt. He had stabbed him one hundred and fifty six times in the abdomen repeatedly and nonstop.
Kerado had the unfortunate ability to have sleep paralysis. A ability his father like to share with him. A ability that bring grief and suffering to his strong but fragile soul.
No one heard Kerado's curses, because they were simply a sleep. And because he didn't want them to hear.
He didn't tell anyone about his condition. Even his girlfriends.
"I'm not selfish. I'm not selfish!", He continued.
Because he wasn't selfish. He would fight this unbeatable and unbearable battle by himself and himself only. Cause he wasn't selfish.
*Drip, drip*
Tears felled down on the bed sheets soaking them.
He wasn't a selfish asshole like his father.
He wasn't a asshole.
He wasn't selfish.
Kerado screamed out, "Ahhhhh!!".
