“What are you saying? I almost believe in you.” Simon said with a streak of smile on his lips. I just also smiled and turned my head.I was silent for a few minutes when the two men I had encountered earlier suddenly approached me.“About what happened earlier, we apologize to you. I hope you will forgive us.” A man said as he handed me a choco pie. I looked down at the food he was giving me and I accepted it.“We were just really scared earlier, so we did that.” One of his companions said that, so I turned my gaze to him.“Let's forget about that.” I just responded to them and they both smiled.“I'm Ramil, and he's my younger brother, Raven.” Ramil said, so I introduced myself also to them.“Just call me Sixto.” I said, and then they nodded. Kaiser and Simon approached us to introduce themselves to the two brothers as well. Thereafter, we were talking a bit and laughing when I suddenly looked in the direction of Laura and Zero. They have been talking for a while, and it looks like th
We all heard loud screams, so I opened my eyes and then got up. I realized that it was Ramil who shouted as he stood in front of the window.“What's happening to him? Why is he shouting?” Kaiser asked who was next to me, and then he stood up to approach him.“Ramil, what's the problem?” He asked him once, he put one hand on his shoulder. Ramil turned to him with tears in his eyes and a frown on his forehead.“R-Raven …” He uttered as he trembled with fear. I got up and approached him as well. I glanced at what he had been looking at out the window and backed away when I saw zombies fasting his brother's body while his eyes were open.Simon, Laura, and Zero also approached us. Even they were shocked at what they saw and covered their mouths.“How did that happen to him? He's just with us here, isn't?” Simon whispered, and I looked at Ramil who was looked down while crying.It was impossible for Raven to leave the room because we all knew how scared he was of zombies. Besides, he had no
“This Raven is intelligent. They are very different from his older brother Ramil.” My father's voice as I quietly peeked at the door and was inside my dark room.When I was only seven years old, I got used to the fact that all their attention was focused only on me. I buy all the toys I want to buy, and I always hear good compliments from other people. But all of that has suddenly changed since my dad introduced Raven to me. He was Dad's son with another woman, and it was only then that Mom and I found out that he had another child and family before we became his family.My mother was very hurt because of that. I witnessed how she gradually sank into extreme loneliness and how she became addicted to alcohol. Morning to night, I often caught up with her in the kitchen. Sitting alone while crying and drowning in alcohol.As her son, I had a grudge against my father. I was angry with him, and I hated him as my father. Occasionally, I even tell myself that I wish I had never been born int
I thought that when we became close to each other, the good things in my life would continue, but it didn't.“Don't forget that he is your rival to your father. If you just let him enter your life, he will just destroy you and use you to take all your inheritances from your father.” The word I will never forget, my mother whispered to me.Despite everything, she still couldn’t accept Raven as my brother. She was very angry with him and hated him, especially when she saw him in our house.Because of that, I gradually avoided and moved away from Raven. I don't want to stay away from him, but I can't do anything because my mother is more important to me because she is the only one I have in my life.It seems that over time he has noticed that I am avoiding him. So, he confronted me and asked about the matter. But I could answer nothing but to drive him away and leave me alone.In those moments, I did not realize that tears were dripping from my eyes. I wondered to myself why I was crying
“I really didn't like what happened, and I'm ready to take responsibility for the sin I committed, but my older brother convinced me to hide the crime and keep the truth a secret from our parents.” Suddenly, I stood up to what Raven said in front of the supreme court. I couldn’t believe he was going to reverse the story and make it appear that I was the mastermind of everything. “That's not true …” I kept saying in my mouth as he looked at me sharply with tears in his eyes. As a result, the burden on my case increased, and I lost all hope of being released from that prison. I tried to fight for the truth, but I just failed, and he won with his plans. I retaliated with a strong punch to his face for what he did. But instead of being angry with me, he just grinned and stared at me. “Why did you do that? Why did you lie?” I shouted at him as I held him tightly by his collar. He grinned first before he responded to me. “Do you feel the way I felt when you cheated on me? What can you sa
We have been in the cell for over three days with some other inmates who have survived. The room we were in had a small space, and we could not move properly because of the number of people inside. We all just stood there and felt the heat inside because all the holes there we covered with stuff.“What's that? Say stay away from me.” Suddenly, our attention all went to a man with a tattoo on his left arm, who suddenly shouted and pushed an old man to the side.The people with us were shocked, and they didn’t seem to like what he did, pushing the old man. So, a young man dared to approach the old man and help him stand up.“Can you talk to him calmly? Why do you have to push him?” The young man said to the embroidered man. He turned around and looked at his companions, who smiled at what he said.“Hey, you. Would you mind your business? Don't get involved in this anymore. It's between the two of us, so don't pretend that you're really concerned about him. In fact, he's getting old and
“You shouldn't have done that to him.” I whispered to Raven, so he turned to me. He looked around us first before he approached me and whispered in my ear.“Are you saying that what I did before was wrong? Would you rather be with those kinds of people than me?” He said with a frown. I just didn’t answer him, and I avoided looking him in the eye. I could feel in the tone of his voice that he was not in a good mood, so I chose to keep quiet.There was silence all around us when night came. We were all tired, sleepy, hungry and thirsty. But in our current situation, we seem to have a hard time finding supplies that we can use.Soon we heard a series of gunshots. We were all disturbed by the loud noise we heard. As it got closer and closer, the gunshots we heard outside got louder and louder.“What's going on outside?” Everyone was curious out there, but a few moments later someone suddenly forced the door open and a group of armed men appeared in front of us. They have guns and weapons
We learned from Ramil the truth as well as how the real Raven died. We were all shocked, and we couldn’t believe what he did about his brother. I also didn’t know how I should have felt in those moments because he did it to save me. Should I view it as grateful because he had saved me? Or should I be calm because none of those close to me are the real culprit? Yet even though I was shocked by what we discovered, I felt a relief in my mind. I have never mistaken someone I trust, and I also know that they will never be able to betray me. It has not been easy for us to accept and forget what happened. Especially when we were with one of the killers or who killed his brother. Sometimes we notice him sitting quietly to one side and seems to be deep in thought. Occasionally, we hear him talking at night and seem to be dreaming badly. But over the days, Ramil's behavior also gradually changed. His idiocy is becoming more frequent, and he seems to be saying a word that only he could hear it.
