Well hear's the mentioned sequel. I highly recommend that you should read 'A Heart' first in case you haven't to make it make sense. Once again this will be sad and tragic but less gory. Anyways, Enjoy~!
Ever since they found Alfred lying on the ground surrounded by sunflowers with snow clutched to his chest. Matthew had lost it.
When his brother first died when he was ten, it had been hard. But Matthew stayed strong for his parents. His parents however, were a nervous wreck. They tried not to cry in front of Matthew so they did in the night concealed in their room. They thought Matthew couldn't hear, but he did. He heard their back braking sobs. Their gasping for breath. Their whimpers. Every last one of them.
Matthew was a kind, nice boy but after what Ivan did to their family, killing Alfred and making his parents depressed beyond help, he cursed Ivan beyond what was healthy. It didn't help that his father had books on black magic stored in plain sight.
And yet when he saw his brother on the ground, every bad thing about Ivan disappeared. His parents told him that it wasn't true but Matthew knew better. It was Ivan who had resurrected his brother by sacrificing himself. The attached limbs on Alfred were more proof.
Matthew felt guilty beyond words even though it wasn't his fault. He was traumatized. He stopped speaking.
He was only twelve when his brother had died the second time. He had screamed towards the heavens till his voice was hoarse. Till he used up all his voice. He fainted after that and lapsed into a coma. When he finally woke up, he never spoke another word.
His parents tried to live a normal life and forget but how could Matthew ever forget? He was often bullied by people but he didn't give a damn.
Sometimes Matthew considered death but he knew he would still be haunted by the guilt. Even now he often felt followed but there couldn't actually be someone stalking him, could there?
When typing, I usually listen to music and Soundless Voice, off vocal and Proof of Life, Off Vocal andRiver Flows In You Starts playing and now I feel extremely sad. If you wanna feel the same way I suggest you listen to that but yeah. Like 'A Heart' it's going to be short but not too short. Till then, See ya~!
