Chapter 11: Back Then

Chapter 11: Back Then

"AHYAAAAKAAHHH! AHYAAAAKAAHHH!!!" The crying was annoying to all the nurses and my mother too. Who would have thought my crying would be so annoying?

But when they placed me in my crying mother's hand I finally stopped and when I did she looked at me with so much potential, or could I say so much interest, then she spoke.

"Useless!" Her look suddenly turned gloomy and her interest in me fell to zero, for some reason even as a baby I was able to understand all that was going on and froze up.

Because i saw no reason a woman would pronounce her child as useless. The case did not take the turn for the worst just yet, until my father walked in and as he saw the look on his wife's face had also a gloomy remark and exited the room without a word.

And that was when I knew my birth became an actual curse than blessing, my existence was non intended for and my look also bore my parents look from that day onward.

Around the time of three months I began to walk with no help if objects and that would be seen as a miracle that every mother prayed for, but anytime I did it no one would be there to actually smile.

I practiced in front of them and all they did pertained to glaring with wishes of me falling and hitting my head so hard that I bleed my brain to death. Unfortunately for them none of that happened.

Soon enough I was six and they began to show some sympathy as if all was forgiven taking me out on holidays, buying me birthday gifts and all began to feel like home... I actually felt whole.

Until they gave birth to a female and I was once again made the black sheep. They idolized this girl like she was an angel from heaven, the best of gifts, education, food and anything she wished for. She became the squander list for them and I became the slave that ran errands.

My life began to get depressing and I was just ten, such a young age and I felt like dying, my bmhind carries many scars from my father's whip he installed for me, my mother had broken countless plates on my skull and I wanted to end it all.

At a time only I and my sister Esther were alone at home. The perfect moment for me to strike. I wanted to end it all, slit my throat as I watched in the movies and before that I would kill the bitch that caused me so much pain.

I walked up to the living room where she layed with the sharp kitchen knife in my back pocket, sure it was sticking out but hidden a bit and that was when I met her.

I came so close to her and she greeted with so much kindness hugging me and acting like we were siblings.

I almost felt like not killing her, but that was a horseplay, I already made up my mind to do it but what happened next changed me.

She told me how she made dad order a PS game and some anime discs just to give me, she noticed my loneliness and decided to do this.

I got infuriated by her kindness and threatened her with a knife like a psycho and all she did was cry and hug me. That confused me the witch was scared of me but still hugged me for protection.

Infuriated I pushed her back and threatened to take my own life but what she said then is etched to my own heart.

"I know..... You hate me and I love you.... If you kill yourself I will kill myself.... If you go to hell then I will follow.... killing yourself will hurt more people than you think..... Suicide doesn't end the pain it gives it I another person!"

I on the other hand dropped the knife from my shaking hands dropping to my knees as she continued to hug me tightly, to believe someone actually cared about me, it gave me somewhat a glimpse of hope.

That hope I still carry in hope to find my sister in this apocalyptic world.

*Horror*

The young man nodded at Eri's explanation lowering his sword from his throat "looks like you aren't a shape shifter, your story is crazy Eri."

Eri gulped, they had placed him a tight spot since they saved him, all circling round him with not so good intentions against him up until he told them his story and noticed a bit if ease in them now.

The lady in them stepped foward with a glistening smile one her expression, "I am Elsa Dwight, he's Skylar Hon," she gestured to the young lad with the sword "Gambit," then to the man in his mid-ages, "Carlos Pehn," then to the small kid who looked scared or somewhat.

Eri did not bother to reply them, he just stared not wanting to foward the conversation any longer. 'Man I forgot how bothering people are.'

"Are you also going to the safe zone in Rika Subway?" Elsa seemed enthusiastic for some unknown reason.

Eri only shook his head before replying formally, "I would love to go home first before getting to Rika."

"Maybe we can tag along then to protect you since you are really weak Eri!" Elsa jumped to her own conclusions and got a wrinkled smile from Eri.

'Who told this girl I was weak? Wait I should know their strength compared to mine so I will know if I have an advantage over them.'

"Uhm? What are you continental Ranking?!" Eri made up a quite weak look.

Elsa was the first to reply seeming to like talking to strangers, "about two million and something."

Gambit replied next, "one million."

Then Skylar, "two million."

Then the child Carlos spoke one of the most absurd one, "one million."

Who knew he would be that strong but this made Eri smile with gladness.

"We are pretty strong right? What's yours Eri?" Elsa asked.

"I am Five million, and I am glad to have met you!" Playing dumb was the way here to believe he was well down hundred thousands. 'They must think I am smiling because I have discovered protection, now I know I am strong.'

"Let's be on our way then, we wouldn't want to wait for the other snakes or mutants to arrive because if the noise." Gambit who was the most experienced looking suggested and they all yeilded walking foward with him in the lead.

Skylar and Carlos narrowed their eyes at Eri's grin, only the brilliant minds could fix this puzzle, 'His eyes and smile, he cannot be trusted.
