I opened my eyes and I was in darkness, many shadow eyes watching me
I started to feel uncomfortable when I heard footsteps and a child came out of the darkness, a hole in his little clothes and skin, dried blood around him and he looked at me blankly.
as if it was orchestrated all the eyes of the shadows came out so I could see all the people I killed
"Stop stop Stop "
I started screaming and taking steps backwards trying to escape the guilt, this sadness
I noticed some other eyes coming out and I lost hope of being able to stay sane
my vision started to get blurry as that itch started to increase in my belly making me lose my breath even in my dream
Coming out of the darkness was Catherine, beautiful as always with blood on her clothes, and a sad expression on her face, the only one who didn't look at me with hate.
'It was my fault'
Soon after her came Aqua, bloodied and looking peacefully into the darkness, before Victor came out, without both of his arms, showing the cut of both of them and a look of anger in my direction.
I started crying and losing my breath while the itching only got worse, my head no longer worked properly.
"I'M SORRY, I'M SORRY, I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO FOR YOU TO FORGIVE ME, PLEASE DON'T LEAVE ME ALONE I-"
I heard a voice far away
"SON! SON!"
I opened my eyes and saw two tense, small shoulders, I looked up and saw the face of the mother of that body crying while shaking,
"It's okay, your mom is here"
I couldn't resist holding back and I let out all the tears I've been holding back, all the sadness, all the mistakes, all the feelings I've locked away,
Meanwhile she just cried and repeated the same things
"It's okay It's okay,"
I heard small footsteps when I felt a hug behind me, making me collapse.
I looked back and saw the little girl looking at me with those big worried eyes, tears threatening to fall from her face.
She hugged me and whispered something in my ear
"We love you, you will never be alone"
After a long time, the mother got up, patted my head and took the girl to another room, as if to give me space to understand my feelings.
My eyes started to blur but I quickly wiped the tears away.
'How many people will I have to kill to become King?'
'How many families, lives, people will I have to step on to get to the throne?'
Leaving these thoughts aside, I decided to get up and walk a little to clear my head.
I stopped in a certain alley where there were several people gathered
The sight made me feel disgusted, it was a chopped up body and the parts formed the words but i not understand
"Get out of the way!"
Abruptly everyone moved away from the crime scene and some people with armor and swords surrounded the scene where a woman approached and looked at the crime scene,
I noticed his eyebrows furrow and the grip on the weapons in his hands tightened.
"Search everyone, the blood is still fresh so it must still be here"
ordered the woman, the soldiers hesitated for a moment seeing the condition of the people
"It's an order."
upon hearing these words all the soldiers began to run towards every person in sight and throw them against the wall,
I looked at the end of the street and saw my sister leaving the house, luckily she understood what was happening and quickly hid inside the house again
I let myself be overpowered by one of the soldiers as he threw me against the wall with enough force to hurt me.
"Tell me what you know, you worm"
he said when I felt his fist in my solar plexus, I bent over feeling the air leave my lungs, but my vision went elsewhere
I saw their treatment of other people, poor, weak, hungry, eating from garbage, not a bit more fortunate than them.
"Why do you do this?"
I asked more as a vent of all the emotions I was feeling
'What's the difference between us and animals? We are even worse'
He gave me a smile and replied
"Because we can, you only live thanks to us, our sweat, our money"
he said while punching me, I let him hit me to try to understand his point
"You are our slaves."
He pulled my head up by my hair and I could see, chaos
Soldiers running after elderly people, children and women
people being beaten, spat on, like rubbish I felt great anger grow inside me and I closed my fist
Noticing my action, the guard gave a provocative smile and placed his hand on the sheath of his sword as if challenging me to follow his "law"
Just as the punch was about to start, someone bumped into the guard, with enough force to knock him off me, it was the same guy who was at my house the other day,
he bowed with his head on the floor
"Forgive my brother, he doesn't know much about the outside world"
He looked at me like he was annoyed with me
"We protect him too much"
The guard looked at me and placed the foot of his boot on his head while smiling at me.
"I forgive him"
the guy looked up hopefully before spit flew into his face
"PHIIIIIIIII!"
a whistle sounded and he looked towards the direction before giving me one more parting punch.
"You were lucky today, but I'll still meet you again"
When I saw the guards running back to their boss, I helped the guy get up from the floor when he pulled me by the collar and threw me against the wall
"You are crazy?"
he said as he took me off and threw me against the wall
"What do you think would happen if you hit him? Huh? THEY WOULD GET ON YOU AND KILL YOUR WHOLE FAMILY YOU IDIOT"
he said with anger in his tone as he looked at me with bloodshot eyes.
"I got fucking spit in the face to save your ass"
I felt bad for thinking that way and for acting like a child
"I'm sorry I-"
"You owe me."
he said as he motioned for me to follow him.
We walked further into the forest when we found a well in the middle of some bushes.
"This is where we will talk about business. and only here, if you tell anyone outside, we will kill you, and anyone who knows too"
"Come"
he said as he went down the stairs
