I want back! Or do I?
I don't own One Piece, but the OC is mine.
READ THIS! I'll be writing this chapter in English like all the other. But remember that some this is from when Alex lived in Sweden and every time someone during the flash back speaks/thinks it is supposed to be in Swedish. Enjoy!
Chapter 14
Flash back
It was winter and the snow glittered under the sun that shined over Eskilstun. -23 Celsius might not be that nice, but Alex still enjoyed it. Her parents were out on a "date" so Alex was stuck at home with her little brother Erik and her uncle Mark as a sitter. Erik was nine years old which made him five years younger than Alex who was fourteen. Mark was their dad's younger brother and was a doctor. He often told them about his work and how he saved lives. He even smelled like the hospital.
Alex and Erik were playing on their PS2 while Mark did some paper job. He had said that the papers were very important and he needed to do them now, so Alex and Erik were free to do what they wanted.
"What are you playing?" Mark asked from behind the table.
"Skate!" Alex and Erik answered at the same time, never looking away from the game.
"So what, you just skate around?" Mark frowned, it sounded boring.
"No, you do tricks and get points for them and the one who gets more points win." Alex explained.
"I see. So it's a boring game." He laughed and continued with the paper work.
"Uncle Mark, why do you do those paper works?" Erik asked.
"Remember back when I had problems controlling my anger?" Erik shook his head.
"No, I only remember you once yelling curses at a bird. But I thought you were crazy." Mark sweatdropped.
"I remember it." Alex spoke up, still looking at the TV screen while playing.
"Well. These paper works is to prove that I don't have problems with my anger any more. I answer the questions on the paper and then go on an interview so that my bosses are sure I won't snap at anyone during work. These are really important papers; they are the key to my future. If I fail the little "test" about my anger, they can make sure I'll never get a job again." Now both Alex and Erik looked away from the screen.
"Why would they do that?" Erik questioned.
"Because they would think I'm dangerous."
"But you aren't dangerous!" Erik protested. Mark laughed a little.
"I'm taking a break now, I'll be outside if you need me." Mark was really tired and needed a break. His week at work had been tough and having to babysit wasn't helping. And then there was the press of the anger management test.
When Mark had closed the front door Alex walked into the kitchen, she was hungry and did not want to eat Mark's food. He was a really bad cook. He could even burn water! She made a quick sandwich and made one for Erik too, just in case he was hungry. When she walked back into the living room she nearly had a heart attack.
Erik had ripped every single one of Marks important anger management papers. Every. Single. One. Alex dropped the plate she had the sandwiches on making it break when it hit the floor. Erik looked over to Alex when he heard the sound and just that second Mark walked back inside. During five seconds many emotions ran across his face. Confusion, horror and then anger. Alex couldn't move; she was in such a shock. Why would Erik do that?
"I don't like Uncle Mark's bosses! So I ripped the papers!" Erik yelled. Oh no… Alex thought.
With a few fast and long steps Mark got over to where Erik was standing, he was boiling with anger. He took a firm hold of Erik's neck and lifting him from the floor. Erik struggled and found it hard to breath.
"Mark! Let go Mark!" Erik begged, but he only tightened his grip around the boy's neck.
"Alex! Alex! Help me, I can't breathe!" Erik was trying to kick Mark but failed. He's lungs burned and he was starting to feel light headed.
"Let him go! Mark, let Erik go! Erik!" Alex ran over to them and tried to get her uncle let go of her brother. Mark's almost gray eyes looked clod and empty. Erik's movements were starting to become smaller and smaller, and the light in his eyes started to fade.
"Alex…" he whispered one last time before he died.
"ERIK!" Alex screamed in pure horror. Her uncle let go of the lifeless body, letting it fall to the floor. Alex kneeled next to her brother's dead body, tears running down her face and falling onto Erik's. "Erik… Erik, wake up… WAKE UP!" Alex begged. Mark stood staring at his brother's son. The son he just killed. He ran out of the door, never looking back at the girl hugging her dead brother.
Mark never came back, Alex was glad he didn't. She didn't leave her brother's side even once. Many hours passed and she was still crying. There weren't any tears left to cry, but the sobs echoed through the house as she hugged her brother, not even once letting go.
Another hour passed before her parents came home, only to find their daughter hugging the lifeless body of their son and no Mark to be found. Alex mother had screamed and rushed to her son's side, tears now running down her face. Her father stood frozen in the door way, even he had tears in his eyes and her father never cried.
"How…" her father growled.
"I-i-it was M-Mark… H-he strangled him…" Alex sobbed. She looked up at her father who had paled and tears ran down his face too.
"Y-your bro-" Alex mother started to say but was cut off by her father.
"No. I don't have a brother anymore." His voice was like ice. Cold, uncaring and filled with hate.
