3 Moonlight Sonata (2/2)
”I want to be free from the incarcerations that this cannon fodders gave me! So I, as a retribution for the suffering that they gave-...”
”You, you...killed them? Brother are you out of your mind?!”
”YES! I KILLED THEM JAIDEN... AND YES! I AM, BY ALL MEANS OUT OF MY MIND TONIGHT! AND IT WILL BE TOO DISAPPOINTING TO LET GO OF SUCH MADNESS, PITIFUL BROTHER!”
The moment he exclaimed those vile words while expressing this demeanor that is far too malevolent to be defined through simple terms... this poignant and loathsome thought crossed my mind.
”I'm...
.. Gonna...
..Be...
...Killed”
Silence engulfs the room except for the sound of the footsteps which are coming towards me, sounds that seems to be from Death himself. And as the sound of the footsteps gets closer and closer, my heart's beating faster, and I am acquainted too well that I can't do anything. My body is stunned, no, paralyzed. I'm gonna be killed. Just like them...
For a moment, I ignored my despair and looked at my dead family. Memories came flashing towards me, memories that were of happiness without a taint of dystopia such as this.
I remembered, how mom would inspire me in times of hardships. I remembered dad. He would be there any minute of the day when I felt alone and weak... I remembered my little innocent sister's shenanigans that would make up our day. Lastly, I remembered how I wished to surpass my revered brother, who is now....coming to kill me.
From a state of utter despair, it was metamorphosed to sadness that cannot be likened to other existent touches of melancholy. I am sad and yet there was not a single tear flowing from my eyes. All I know is that I am feeling rather empty, and that, there is this gap in my heart that could never be filled the same way again...This overwhelming and sudden flare of negative emotions would eventually kill me before my brother will.
”Crack,” I noticed the sound of a lethal weapon being loaded. I looked up and saw him pointing a gun at me a meter or two, away.
”If I may know... Brother, why did you do this?” I asked as if it was my last wish to know why it happened.
”Aaaahh you talk too much!” He answered.
”You are a Cendrillon, right? The last bloodline of the land's finest aristocrats. And as far as a father would tell me, that we ought to mind our own business. You are one bad descendant for not heeding your father's own words. And for that, I'm gonna have to kill you. Say hi to them for me! Bon, voyage! ”
”Ha! He really had gone mad. ” I thought... slowly closing my eyes hoping to be killed immediately to eradicate the dominant antagonism and emptiness that I'm feeling.
And the moment my eyes closed, I heard three gunshots all aimed at me from point-blank range that would likely rip me apart from my own existence.
”BANG!... BANG!... BANG!”
A single bullet could have been enough.
