Chapter 4- A Painful Curse
"Hey" Soul said
Wes dropped his entire box of sheet music as he looked at the direction Maka was. His eyes welled with tears of joy.
"Soul"
Wes looked at his brother with tears of joy and sadness. He hugged his brother as he approached him.
"Soul… please… never do that again" Wes asked
"I'm sorry but for as long as 'it' is still there, I cannot promise" Soul said as he tightened the grip on his brother
"Could you guys fill me in on the details of what 'it' is" Maka asked
"Sure" Wes said as he dried his eyes and let go of his little brother "You see it happened like this"
*Flashback* (Wes)
I was staying at the Evans mansion for a few days since my mom and dad wanted to know my progression in the my career as a violinist and a music teacher. I could hear a bit of Soul's screaming that night
"Master Soul please calm down" a maid said
"No! How could this happen! How could I lose" Soul shouted
Soul lost in a video game and started going crazy one night
"Master Soul it is just a game! So please calm down"
"Shut up now or else!*evil twisted laugh*"
"Or what?!" she asked with a stern tone
"You die!" he answered
"Go ahead if you can do it"
"*evil twisted laugh* Goodbye"
At that moment Soul's arm turned into a blade and he killed his own maid before passing out on the floor. I was walking past Soul's room before I saw blood flowing out from his door.
"Soul" Wes shouted as he rushed into the room. "Soul! Are you okay! Your hand… it's covered in blood" Wes said before looking at the corpse on the floor "Did you?! Oh my god!"
"Wes… what's wrong with me? The last thing I know was I lost to a game and went berserk" Soul said in a weak voice.
"Soul! Thank God you're alive!" He said as he hugged him
After the first incident my parents took him to a doctor. The results were shocking. The doctor concluded that Soul could turn any part of his body in to metal but not all of it. The doctor tried running experiment to see how it worked but in the end gave up as two nurses had been seriously injured and another one killed. We brought him back three weeks later and no one in the house dare go near him except me. I stayed in the mansion since my mom and dad were scared of being murdered by their own son
*knock* *knock* "Soul. Would you like dinner" Wes said with a cheery voice
"No" Soul answered in a sad tone while he faced the window curled up into a ball
"C'mon. What's wrong this time?" Wes asked as he sat next to his little brother
"I'm a monster and I don't deserve to live. Mother and father would be happy without me and you know it."
"That's true. But I wouldn't, I don't want to forget how beautiful your music sounds. I want to hear the beautiful music of my little brother and who cares if you're a monster cause I will always love you." Wes said as he hugged his little brother.
"You just don't understand! I don't deserve to live!" Soul said
"Yes you do! And I know you know that" Wes said
That night, Soul raised his arm at me.
"Soul please this is not you" Wes said
"*evil twisted laugh* Well, too bad" He said before he slashed one of my legs.
"Soul look what you did! Tell me that even a little bit of my brother is in there! This is Wes talking to you!" Wes shouted
"Wes…" Soul said as his arm turned back to normal
"Wes!" he shouted as he looked at me and covered his mouth with his hand. "No! I don't deserve to live! I'm sorry Wes! Goodbye!" he said before jumping out the window and running away with tear filled eyes.
"No! Soul! Come back! Please… Just come back" Wes said with tears in his eyes
After that, a maid came in, patched up my leg and sent me to the hospital for treatment. From that night on, I never saw Soul again and never stopped worrying
*Flashback ends*
"And that's how this started and why Soul is having problems. Apparently, Soul says there is a cure but he cannot tell it or he will try and kill us like the last time." Wes said as he sighed
"I still don't understand how the physics of this work. I mean how can someone possibly turn their arm into a blade and-"
Maka got cut off by sirens a helicopter and flashing lights
"This is the Police! We are here to apprehend the deranged and abnormal child for lab testing! Hand him over and we won't shoot!"
Maka looked at Soul who had gone crazy and was curling up into a ball
"Soul…" she said before-
"AHHHHHHH!"
