Scars

We held our hands , and walked on the empty street . It was already past midnight and the sky was covered with gloomy clouds therefore the frosty breeze tickled my spine .

I should have wore more clothes in this temperature.

“ it’s cold right ?” Sandré started the small talk , looking at the pale clouds with emptiness.

“Hmm !”

After a while his voice cracked while saying , “ you shouldn’t have done that !” His voice was so sad , it was like his heart was shattering into small delicate pieces .

“ what do you mean ?”

“ nothing , just care for yourself be selfish , for little things ... !” He said .

I really don’t know where the conversation was heading , but I know , things gonna not work out for me .

“ little things ?” I asked .

“ yup ! Like craving happiness , being you , and just you , you shouldn’t keep any one as the priority, but yourself !” He smiled .

After a while , he looked towards the ground and but his bottom lip and said “ I .... don’t deserve your family’s love ! I... i am ... too umm .... trash !”

I left his hand , shocked . Too shocked of what he think of himself .

“ what ?”

“ does mother knows about this ?” He ignored me and then asked worriedly .

“ uhh ... I don’t think so !” I felt guilty.

“ what deal is it ?” He asked , his body went stiff and he looked ahead .

“ I don’t know yet, but he asked for a life I guess !” I answered .

“ what does that mean ..... !”

“ I .. was just , too panicked , at that time... and I ... I just agreed to him !” I tried looking at him .

But it was difficult , to have a glimpse of those beautiful emerald eyes .

“ YOU deal with a monster from hell , and yet you abide by saying you don’t know , what mess you got into ?” He shouted at me in the empty street. “ Do you really know , how really freaking messed up this is ... you could have killed yourself ...... and Now ... there will be a new scar on your body ..... and it will not stop bleeding , until you are done with your deal ... do you even know that ?”

“ yes !”

“ yes ? Yes ... you say ... and yet you walked in that hell , knowing there are hundreds of scars already there on this body , I can’t even tell , how many more years , you are left with .. with a body like this ..” he was so loud , worried and he throwed his fists in the air several times , while cursing that serpent , while shouting .

After a while , when I didn’t even speak a word , he continued .

“ should I call mother ?” He asked , he voice seemed panicked .

“ Noo !” I was loud .

“ you know right , what type of sister you have ?” He looked at me then , his eyes were scared , scared for me , he continued then , holding me by my shoulders and squeezing it a little bit and sighed

“ you can’t get into this mess once again , you are too innocent and weak for that !” His voice turned sweet and calming not like before .

“ shut up , what a little brat of Seven would know !” I yelled at him ..

shouldn’t he be a little proud to save a human with me .

“ Yes ! A seven year old but in a seventeen year olds body !” He yanked upon me .

I sighed .

“ valentine , would kill me !”

“ Tell mother the truth , and she will be no harm ! ” he adviced me .

“ huh ? Your mother is only good to you , to me , she is a monster !”

“ C’mon , she is your sister !”

“ like I did not know that !” I rolled my eyes .

“ keep rolling your eye balls , maybe you find brain back there !” He scoffed .

“ you little spoiled rich brat !” I slapped his shoulder . And he ran away for me , while I tried to catch him .

I had a nightmare that night , I woke up in sweats , and my vision was blurry . I don’t remember the dream at all , but I felt thirsty . As soon as I get up from the bed , I fall down , but I manage to stick to my bed .

My breathing was still a bit hazy .

I closed my eyes .

When I opened my eyes again , my vision was clear . But my head still hurts .

“ ow ! ow ! ” the pain in my arm ,whistled . It was still bleeding .

It even made my bandage look worse . The blood wasn’t stopping at all .

I went downstairs .

And then i got a glimpse of someone on my couch , “ hey ! Mornin ” Sandré waved at me , from the couch .

“ what the hell?? Why didn’t you turn back !!!” I was literally exhausted to start the day . And moreover with a little brother like him .

“ well , yesterday night I called mother , and she send me the ring of protection and new clothes !”

He opened the door of his room , filled with latest brands .

“ Ta-daa !” He was excited ,

“ really ? Do you want me to believe you ? ... huh ”

“ Heyyy ! M not lying , she did send me yesterday night , through the portal door !” He looked like he was wronged .

“ she . Used . Portal . Door . To . Send . You . Clothes !” I don’t believe that . “ should I call her ?” I threatened him .

He went to his couch and laid down , like he didn’t care , and said “ Go ahead !” He said . Wearing his Gucci glasses , with the tag still on .

“ ok whatever ! If she did use the portal door , where is my half?”

I started looking through his pile of expensive bags .

“ hey ! Hey ! Back off !” He stood infront of them . “ don’t touch my stuff !” He told me .

“ yont touch my suff !” I mimicked him .

“ now be a good lad , where are mine ?” I asked .

“ she really didn’t send !” He answered .

“ she really loves you more than me !” I tried making a pity face , but that didn’t work .

He walked towards the kitchen counter , and sat on one of the chair .

“ well it’s pity , you found that late .... I was already the Gucci of her eyes , when she brought me home !” He mocked me .

“ I am really gonna call her now !” I told him with a duh look .

“ please go ahead , without my permission!”

I called her while yelling at him , “ No one needs your permission !”

...............

“ what for ?” Valentine said , from the other side .

“ uhh hello !” I talked sweetly .

“ put the phone on speaker!”

I did .

“ so umm -” I was going to talk about my clothes , before she said -

“ did you liked your clothes Sandré !”

“ YESS ! Mother , and i love you !” He chriped shouting .

And he made faces to me .

Spoiled rich Gucci brat !!!!!

“ Good ! Do you need more gifts for your birthday ?” She asked him .

What was I even doing ? Between a mother and a son heart to heart expensive talk .

“No ! It’s already enough , besides it’s just a month away !” He was shy .

Someone rustled in the back , and the n she asked , “ where is the Amethyst sword , EOS ?” Her voice , calm and dominant like always .

“ with me !”

“ good ! My men gonna come and take it from you within a two weeks !”

And she ended the call .

................................................

“ where is the sword ?” He asked me . Panicked .

“ I don’t remember!”

“ then why did you lied ...?”

“ I didnt had the option , do you want me to be dead soon , she is the head of all departments of mythic legends .... she would have just killed me ..... I think I left at miracles home ?” I think i remember.

“ let’s go today evening ,besides that girl wouldn’t be able to see the sword !”

I agreed .

“ for now , leave for college , I don’t want , anyone suspecting us !”

“ okay !”

I rushed to my college , after getting ready .

“ TRY TO BE NICE , AND STAY AWAY FROM DEMONS !” He shouted at me , while I was driving .

“ SHUT UP ! You PUNK !”
