Notes: Peter's Point of View
Standing in the edge of the field, I felt numb, my memory strayed backward. Through a tunnel I saw many times before, I felt the breathless air choke my lungs. My Hero stood in front of me, his arms crossed. I called he answered, but he looked so distant in those eyes. It scared me. So I read his thoughts, and they killed me. Claire was right they screamed! She was right!
But then he saved my life that day, picked me up when I was weak and flew me into the sky.
Hope, there was still hope in the world!
Once the explosion came, I did not allow time to linger. I could not allow Nathan to die by the scars I gave him. He was ready to give his life to save mine.
"If you go, I go," Nathan whispered high in the sky.
But no, I couldn't bear it.
I saved him.
There had to be hope.
And then the Company came.
I was in that prison for three and half months thinking I killed my brother. Allowing the company to make me live in self pity.
Outside the walls, Nathan was doing the same. Living in self pity, allowing the invasion of thoughts that he killed me, his own brother.
We found each other again.
He guided me away from Adam and held out his hand giving hope.
Life started to go on if only for a few moments...
When I heard the bullet of that gun. It was so fast and I couldn't stop it..
Scarier still was the man I saw pull the trigger.
He wore a scar and a grim expression. A blank scare instead of fearful hope.
But still whom it was unspeakable.
Even more so when he confirmed that he was me.
It was a thought that was so foreign, it froze me to the bone.
I never ever felt that hollow.
Until today.
Who was this man that harbored my brother's body?
Did I really kill him that day?
I could not be that wrong could I?
He's my brother isn't he?
On that island he held my shoulder.
I screamed at him not to go.
He looked at me and told me.
"I always respected you Peter. Whatever choice you made, whether I agreed or not was yours."
"I love you Peter."
"Nathan!" I screamed until my throat bled.
What happened to you?
That wasn't you I saw in New Jersey was it?
The man with those cold eyes: the one berating me for saving your life?
Where are you Nathan?
Did I kill you?
What made me do what I did to you at the end of that gun?
Will I have to do it again?
I would die.
Author's Note: The Writer doesn't understand either. Nathan would never, never NEVER be so violent towards Peter. Nor would Peter, future or not ever shoot Nathan. (I would have tolerated the other things Nathan did in this past episode) We all read the other ways Peter could have solved that in Zookitty's story "Plan B". What happened to our brothers? I have another story in mind too that might a be a just a tad happier than this one, lol. Thanks for reading.
