1 I Don't Regret A Thing

I killed them, and, I don't regret it.

I don't feel another for them anymore, the tiny bit of love is now gone. As if it never existed to begin with. Any hope of us being a normal family was now gone. Maybe I really was insane like they said, but it didn't matter.

What's done is done, and I'm happy I finally decided to go through with it. If only I did it sooner though, no, if I did then we would never have gotten to live a normal life together. I stood over the body of a dead woman who laid there, completely still on the floor beneath me.

My hands were bleeding and there was a piece of glass in my side. I knew I didn't have much time, but at least I can die with her. I turned walking away from the body, I passed another one on the stairs. I made my way to the living room only to see a girl with brown hair and green eyes leaning on the wall. I sat next to her putting her on my lap.

"H-Hi Quinn, I'm sorry t-that you had to kill them because of me. I know I made your life worse than it already was." She said leaning on my shoulder. I frowned and kissed her forehead.

"Don't say that, Soph. You are the best thing in my life. I should be the one apologizing, I promised you I would get you out of here but I couldn't." I said stroking her back.

"So w-what now? Mom and Dad are now dead, even if we survive they'll take you away."

"Yeah, I know. Sorry we couldn't die in some cabin in the woods together." I said, she hugged me shaking her head.

"It's alright, I know why could never live a peaceful life with them around. But, at least we can die together. You did so much for me, I'm sorry I couldn't make it up to you."

"You never had to make it up to me, Doll. I did this because I wanted to." I hugged her back listening to her heartbeat slow until it came to stop. I kissed her cheek laying her body on the floor. I laid next to her. My body got colder and colder, then, it all went dark. I truly did wish I could have given the world to her.

My name is Quinn Alexander, and I had a twin, Sophia Alexander. All of our life we were attached by the freaking hip. We were rarely ever away from each other. Our lives growing up weren't the best, our parents were very abusive. It only started when we were 12.

They started to have unrealistic expectations, wanted us to do everything they said without any objections. No mistakes, no screwups, no nothing. They wanted perfect kids, and that was fucking impossible. But since I was born first out of the both of us, I took all the abuse so Soph didn't have to.

I always wanted to protect her, seeing her hurt in any way made everything hurt. I just wanted to see her smile, when she's happy I'm happy.

One would think that I would hate Soph, but it was the opposite. We were still close despite all of this, I held nothing against Soph. I did however hate our parents, very much. But I was still a kid, I still hoped that one day I would wake up and they would love us like they used to. I was still a kid, and they were my parents.

But I knew that wouldn't happen. All I would do was hope that we made it to the end of school. I wanted to get into college and get a good job so we could get out of there.

Even though Soph and I were complete opposites in many things, we still had a few things in common. Anime was on the top of our list, we spend hours at a time watching anime, reading manga and novels together.

But when we were 15, everything went all wrong. Soph and I did go to the same school, but I did extra classes after school hours and sometimes on the weekends as well.

One day, I came home a little later than I normally did. To say the house was a mess would be an understatement, my heart sank when I saw Soph bleeding while leaning on the wall. I didn't think and just went over to check on her, I crouched down in front of her gold her cheek.

"H-Hey Quinn, I'm really sorry. You went through so much just to protect me and I fucked it all up."

I didn't say anything, more so couldn't. I looked at my father coming down the stairs holding Soph's hand. I knew she had a very low pain tolerance so she was definitely in a hold of pain right now.

He walked down the stairs and stopped. "You both should know-"

"You hurt her, I'm going to make you regret that."

"A-And how is-"

I took a knife from the floor and charged at him, I brought it down but he blocked with his hand. It stabbed through his palm causing him to yell due to the pain. He kicked me trying to get me off but I refused to move, pushing the knife down. Unlike Soph, my pain tolerance was a bit better than the average human but not by much.

He took a piece of glass and stabbed it into my side.

I groaned gritting my teeth still pushing it down, then it finally pierced his neck. He kicked me throwing me back a bit. He stood up and reached a hand toward me. I stepped forward and took back the knife making blood splatter onto my face.

He fell back onto the ground and I brought the knife down, again, and again. I stood up leaving it in his chest. I looked to the side of me and saw mother standing there shaking. I ran to her tackling her to the floor, she tried to get away but I was much stronger than she was.

I used my feet to keep her arms in place and held her hair. I pulled on it raising her head also making her scream.

"How does it feel to know your daughter, who you tormented for so long is going to kill you, huh!? But I should really thank you, if I ever have kids I know how not to treat them. I wouldn't even mention you to them. You and him will die here and be forgotten, no one will even know you even exist."

I took a piece of glass next to me and slit her throat. I panted heavily and stood up looking down at her bleeding out. She crawled away but didn't make it far.

That's it, that's what happens before our deaths, and I don't regret it. I never will, I'll do it a 1000 more times if I had to

In a seemingly endless, void there was a floating purple glowing orb. Dark blue lights circle it slowly giving off an unworldly feel.

A man appeared in front of it and said "I can do this one before I go on break." He tapped on the orb and watched it glow even brighter.

"Hello young lady, I'm sure you know but you are dead. Your current location is inside of the void. I need to make this quick, apologies about that. You can reincarnate with 3 wishes."

A second passed before a sound came from the orb. "I wish to be with my sister, Soph." The man looked surprised and he truly was. The last thing he was expecting was for the soul in front of him to ask to reincarnate with someone.

He hummed and disappeared before reappearing with another orb. That orb was golden with red lights circling it. "You're lucky, she almost got to the pool of reincarnation. If that would have happened her memories would have been erased and if any longer you wouldn't even be able to see her unless you explore every world in the multiverse."

A sigh of relief came from the soul. 'Soph always liked Sign-In systems, I think I know what to do.'

"I wish for multiverse travel."

"Simpler enough." He said as a file appeared in his hands. He motioned for the soul to continue.

"I wish for a Sign-In system."

"One of the easiest systems to give, granted. I'll send you two to a good world to get started, good luck young one."
