Feliciano often remembers the screaming...
At school he was a model student.
Smiley, happy
Nobody knew. Nobody had to know
Nobody would ever know anything about them.
He pretended that he didn't have the gift and it was because of that his roman catholic father praised him and showered him in attention
His brother on the other hand, he had revealed his powers by pure accident
Lovino had killed that man.
The tall brown haired man, with murderous black eyes had wanted them both dead that night, who knows what two middle school students were doing out at that night, but they wanted no trouble
That man however had been searching for kids like them and was unwilling to let them go when he found them.
Lovino had panicked and used his gift to tear the man apart from his torso, enough so that the police had no idea who he was when they found the body that their father had carefully hidden.
The man had not done it because he loved his son, no.
He had done it so he could 'heal him'
And what's where all the screaming came from
Padre would force Lovino to eat pills and inject him with drugs just to get him docile enough so that he could lock Lovino in a room filled with holy objects and tell him to pray and repent
Feliciano tried to ignore it like his brother told him t on those dark nights where he would sneak into the older boys room but it was unbearable
All the screaming
All the cries that emanated from that dark room
He didn't want to be thrown in there.
Sometimes he could see the wind picking up outside as Lovino threw himself against the door and cried in Arabic
"let me out you fucker, let me out of here right now!"
But padre wouldn't notice, he would just whisper to the door "hush now child, you will soon be healed..."
Eventually Lovino would stop banging
That was the part that scared Feliciano the most because that was when he couldn't sense anything from his brother
The first few times he thought the older boy was dead and had left him alone with the monster and he would be forced to live a lie
But every time, padre would open the door hours later and Lovino would either walk out sluggishly or be carried out with his hands soaked red with blood. Because he had been trying so hard to escape without using his powers.
Feliciano felt like it was all his fault, if he wasn't there then Lovino could have escaped already
So he cut his arms to ribbons.
The cutting made him feel like he was in control
Even though he wasn't
It made him feel free because nobody stopped him
But it also made him feel guilty...
Then that day came.
The day that shattered everything
It was all Feliciano's fault
They were having dinner...
...oOo...
Feliciano smiled
"So did anything good or interesting happen today?" the 14 year old asked in Italian
"Nothing" Lovino mumbled
"Someone ate my cupcake at work which was quite annoying" padre smiled "it turns out it was Wang and he had asked before he did so"
Everything was normal
Feliciano reached over to grab the salt
Why couldn't he have asked?
His knife was pushed off the table as he reached over and the teenager gasped
Lovino didn't even blink, he just stared at it as it fell towards the floor...
The knife paused just before it touched the ground
Then the air went cold
Feliciano quickly picked up the knife
"oopsie" he smiled
Hoping that his padre didn't notice
But if he hadn't seen it he must have definitely heard it
"Get up" the man said angrily slamming his hand on the table
"No" Lovino said his eyes filling with fear
"I said get up right now!" the man exclaimed striding over and grabbing the teenager by his shirt before starting to drag him towards that dark room
"Stop it, just pleas stop it!" Feliciano exclaimed in Italian
He didn't want to hear the screams anymore
"Let go of me!" Lovino exclaimed as his nono dragged him towards the door
The man was about to throw him in but then froze as the lights started to flicker and the earth began to shake
"Let go of him!" Feliciano exclaimed firmly
The plates and everything else started to explode
The cutlery danced through the air
"You—"
That was all he got out before one of the knives promptly stabbed him through the throat and lodged itself in the wall behind him
Padre then gave him a strange look of fear but Feliciano didn't want to see it
He never wanted to see this man ever again
The other pieces of sharp cutlery all hurtled towards the man but this time his body was dragged into the room and within moments he was no longer a man
Just an ornament on that stupid cross he had hung up in that dark, dark room.
Feliciano and his brother stood there in silence for a while before they both burst into tears.
It was far from ok but at least now he would never bother them again.
...oOo...
The police couldn't figure out what happened
There was no evidence that Feliciano or Lovino had committed the murder and since they both refused to say anything other than
"I promised not to tell"
Of course they had promised each other
The case anent cold
They moved countries to live with their nono
They moved on with their lives
Or tried to
Feliciano could still hear his brother in the dead of night crying or screaming in his sleep because of he horrible nightmares
Nono would try to calm him down but it never worked...
They tried giving him medicine but that made it worse, anything they made him eat or injected him with made it much much worse.
Feli got up and walked into his brothers room
"Feli get the needle!" his nono would cry but Feliciano would just stand there
Soon enough the old man got the message, let him scream.
There was no way to stop it, no matter what anyone did Lovino would always remember that room...
Always.
...oOo...
Lovino stepped into his new classroom awkwardly
He didn't like the idea of going to an actual school but his therapist said he's be ok...maybe
"Ok class, this is Lovino and Feliciano Vargas" the teacher smiled energetically
She was also the schools guidance councillor, something their nono probably asked for
"Ve~ ciao" Feliciano smiled but Lovino stayed quiet
Don't talk unless spoken to.
"Lovino don't you want to greet the class?"
"No thank you"
Don't be rude
Never make eye contact
"oh, well your seats are over there" the teacher stated pointing at the back of the class
"thank you~" Feliciano gushed happily but Lovino stayed quiet
"Fratello you should try talking to people and being nice, we're not in Italy anymore," his brother said in Italian keeping his cheery voice
He knew nobody here spoke the language because nobody reacted the appropriate way to that strange sentence
"Shut up" Lovino said simply in English before switching languages "I can't stand that stupid face of yours anymore"
His got Feliciano's face to fall
"Please?" Feliciano asked which everyone seemed to understand
So they were Spanish students.
"Whatever" Lovino said taking the window seat and staring intently outwards
He had spent days in Italy looking forwards in the curriculum because his padre wouldn't give him any roper reading material, and school was for "real children"
Lovino bit his bottom lip
Don't think badly of me, ever.
...oOo...
Feliciano sighed as class ended
"Anyone want to show our new students around?" the teacher asked as everyone tried to put away their things in a hurry
"Ja, I'll do it" a blonde asked
At this Lovino looked up and scowled
He hated blondes, especially the German kind.
His father used to consult a German priest in their area on how to 'heal him'
"Actually I think I can find my own way around" Feliciano said realising his brothers glare
"Nonsense the campus is very big and—" Ludwig insisted but Feliciano cut him off
"No, it's ok really" the cheery Italian said, "this isn't the first time I've moved schools and besides I have a good memory so I'll be able to remember"
"Just go on" Lovino said in Italian glaring up at his brother "but I'm not coming with you, I'll just stay here since we've got you next class here"
Feliciano gave his brother a look
"Ve, ok then" he nodded "I'll go along but he says he'll just say here for break time"
"Ok then" the German nodded "I am Ludwig Beilschmidt" the German said formally putting out his hand
"You already know my name~" Feliciano smiled not shaking the Germans hand but instead passing him and heading for the door
Don't make friends, they'll never understand
"have fun" miss Elizabeta smiled as the pair left the room and almost all of her other students followed
She then glanced worriedly at Lovino
...oOo...
(flashback)
"miss Elizabeta Héderváry I would like you to meet Romulus Vargas" the head teacher smiled
Elizabeta stood and shook the man's hand "it's your kids who are transferring to our academy" she smiled
"Ve" the man nodded "I wouldn't leave them alone usually but I have to attend to some work in a different country and it would be unwise and problematic to move them around with me" he sighed
"So what is it that you wanted to discuss?" she asked
She had already seen the boy's files
Lovino was a bad one, he had incidences of violence, lashing out , he was schizophrenic and he also seemed to be making a very slow recovery from a very traumatic and scarring experience
Feliciano but however seemed to have gotten over the entire ordeal but seemed unwilling to leave his brother and had a bad habit of cutting.
"Lovino and Feliciano of course" the man said "I'm assuming you've read their files?" he asked
The councillor nodded
"Yes well, Lovino its worth warning you that Lovino gets angry over certain things like, touching or even if you give him positive attention, and Feliciano seems to despise it altogether"
"I see" Elizabeta nodded
"also he'll need his own room because in the middle of the night he'll start screaming and crying in Arabic and even if you translate what he says it won't make any sense"
The guidance councillor then frowned
"and if he starts to scream don't stop him and definitely don't try to give him anything, he has a high tolerance to any drugs you can give him and he'll just start screaming more and more and when morning comes and he's exhausted himself he'll refuse to do anything or leave his bed"
"So we can't help him" Elizabeta questioned
"No..." Romulus said quite sadly "oh and Feliciano too"
"He likes to cut himself"
The man nodded
"You also can't trust his face, he may smile a lot and seem like he's doing fine but he's just play acting. At the beginning of class they'll do this thing where they start to speak in Italian and check if anyone else speaks it just so that they can confirm that they have some privacy"
"Privacy?" the head teacher questioned
"So they can talk freely to each other, Lovino won't talk to other people and hates to resort to English"
Elizabeta once again nodded and then wondered if she should be taking notes
"What do I do if Lovino lashes out?" she asked
"get Feliciano" Romulus said "the boy freezes if his brother starts to scream in his sleep or talk in Arabic but if he's attacking another student then Feliciano will be able to pry him away easily while if anyone else attempts Lovino will turn his fury on them...physically he's quite a strong person"
"May I ask how his grades are?" the head teacher asked
"they are quite good despite the fact he never seems to pay attention in class, he went to a special school not too long back and although he didn't pay attention like the other students he did manage to get the best grades"
"Are there any sensitive subjects I should warn other students about?" Elizabeta asked, "to avoid any unnecessary break downs or outs?"
"Don't talk specifically about their parents" Romulus stated "their mother died a long time ago and their father...I-I never understood that man"
The last part was said in a quiet tone
"Well we'll be happy to welcome your grandsons to our school next week" the head teacher said after clearing his throat
"Yes, and I'll take a note of all that you've told me" Elizabeta smiled
"thank you" Romulus said before getting up to leave
...oOo...
(now)
Elizabeta sighed
"I'll be back in 3 minutes" she stated to Lovino who didn't look up at her but said the word
"Noted" in a simple and formal tone
Elizabeta gathered her things and left before closing the door behind her so nobody else would enter thinking it was locked (becauseif it wasn't she always kept her door open during break and lunch as well as after school
'What strange boys' she thought as she headed down to her office
...oOo...
I remember writing another story like this but that escalated into something weird (that I didn't intend)
It's almost Halloween and I'm excited for the new move version of Carrie which will be coming out soon so I thought I'd write this
Also, I FINALLY got my internet back and I've decided that I won't unhiatus all my stories at once but rather do them one by one because schools almost over (for half term) and I'll finally be able to concentrate enough to do steady updates :D
Review and I'll me a happy camper
