I wonder who read the Asylum that will find this series and be happy about it ;p

ENJOY!

I should have known.

I should have known that returning to our normal lives after what happened all those years ago would be impossible.

I should have known that some trauma had permanently made its home in my brother's fragile mind.

I should have known that miracles were too good to be true.

However even now, in my darkest hours, as I run around the country to find my brother before the cops do, I still believe in them.

In miracles.

Twelve years ago, my brother, Mattie, was incarcerated in an Asylum where he received special care prior to an incident which caused a temporary case of amnesia but, ultimately, insanity. He was said to be forever trapped in the mindset of a child but, nevertheless I struggled to bring my brother back to me for two years, keeping in mind that a miracle had let my brother survive the incident and thus a miracle would bring him back to me.

In a sense, I was right to believe.

He did come back to me after living through a horrifying moment at the Asylum when a dangerous inmate escaped on the day of our 17th birthday and threatened to kill us, but more specifically, me. The moment we vanquished the threat and escaped the horrible building, a flash of something sparked into Mattie's eyes before he fell in a coma but, five days later, awoke as the brother that I had always known and loved.

I thought we put the moments in the asylum behind us and could continue on with our lives, happily but, after a few years before the current moment, I realised there was still something off about my twin. I would sometimes spot him muttering words in French that were foreign to me mostly because I didn't understand the language.

"Tu ne peu pas t'enfuir. L'inévitable est inévitable. Un jour, le cauchemar reviendra et là tu y perdras ta vie. Tu ne peu pas t'enfuir. L'inévitable est inévitable."

You do not just run away. The inevitable is inevitable. One day, the nightmare will return and then you will lose your life. You do not just run away. The inevitable is inevitable.

If I had only known at the time, I could have avoided all of this from happening.

I could have kept Mattie from snapping.

I could have protected him like I had sworn to ever since we restarted taking control of life.

I could have kept him from murdering our friends, my lover and other innocent souls that should never had parted this world so early.

The cops tell me I shouldn't blame myself, but I can't help it. Mattie's my little brother and as an older brother, it's my duty to protect him with everything I have.

I know I should hate him now.

I know I should want to see him dead or behind bars.

I know I should feel so many things that I don't currently feel because I love him too much. He's my brother.

My little brother.

My twin.

My last family.

The cops think he's just some lunatic to set behind bars and forget but I know my brother's not naturally like this. I strongly believe that if I can find him, we can escape from this horror once more, restart our lives once more and have our chance at ever lasting happiness. However, in order to do so, I need to find Mattie and I haven't the slightest idea to where he could be hiding.

I just pray I'm the one who finds him first.

Yes, I guess in some sense this does continue The Asylum but it's not like you have to read it to understand...

Though I admit that it might answer some of your questions like: why can't you use England, Belarus, Germany, Italy, Sealand and France in this story?

Well, anyways, this is just the prologue so more will be explained next chapter (that will be uploaded seconds after) what happened durring the ten year gap (btw they're 27 now) and how did everything turn to shit!

SEE YOU NEXT CHAPTER!
