-Corrupted-
Well since some of you loved this little side-story I decided to create an alternate ending! At first it was only supposed to be one chapter where you decided after you read if Ayane lived or died and what would happen to Kasumi (that's why the story is so short). But I ended up adding a second chapter, where Kasumi prevailed, but now here's the second side to this tale, right when Kasumi is deciding Ayane's fate. (Something else weird—I just flipped through some TV channels and saw that a tanker crashed on the news. Just like in my dawn of the dead spoof. Wonder if it was carrying a zombie virus...hold on there's someone at the door, they want to 'inspect' my brain). Oh and about Ayane cracking her knuckles, I didn't want to overuse the word 'smile or laugh' (even though I think I did) so I made her do something more badass, to still show she isn't all-soft. Rambling aside, I bring you the alternate ending to Corrupted!
You'll never be free! Never! Do it! Never safe! Never free! Never to be loved! DO IT! "Will you ever leave me?" Kasumi cried as tears fell from her eyes onto her half-sister below. "Kasumi! Please pull me up!" Ayane shouted as she strained her fingers. They were becoming raw and numb as she braced onto her sister's grip. Kasumi said nothing; she only looked into her sister's eyes, filled with worry and panic. This is what you have lived for your whole life. You want revenge! You can feel it in your blood...I... can feel it in your blood. "..." was the response as Kasumi struggled to hold on to her sister. What has she ever done for you? Nothing that's what! All she has brought you is pain and discomfort. She does not like you... she hates you! Don't you remember that time...in your childhood where she... Kasumi stammered and looked out into the abyss with an open mouth. She would have covered her mouth if she had an empty hand.
She remembered back to her past where she was just a child of seven years old. Her father had abandoned them and only a withered mother and caring brother could take care of her. Her half sister, Ayane was a pawn of the devil. She was always angry and independent of herself. She neglected all and never gave a smile, let alone make a sound. The day Ayane would finally laugh would be the day Kasumi would hate her the most...
"Mother? Brother? I'm home!" A young Kasumi said as she got home from grammar school. There was no answer and Kasumi became scared as she walked through the hallways that towered over her. "Mama? Mama?" she yelled as she ran through the house. "Kasumi in here!" a voice screamed back. It was her brother Hayate, twelve years old. "Where's mom!?" Kasumi cried as she found her brother sitting in the den. "She's working late this week. I'm watching over you, so stop your crying!" he yelled back annoyed. He had been under a lot of stress lately with school and having to take care of family matters. "I'm only twelve! It shouldn't be like this..." he said falling back into the couch. "I want a snack! Mom always has snacks for me after school" Kasumi said as she stomped the ground. "Get some yourself! You know where they are!" he moaned as he turned his backside. Kasumi only pouted as she purposely stomped to the kitchen. She grabbed some fruit (mainly strawberries) from the fridge and placed them on the table. She went to the drawer with the silverware to get her special knife. It was the only knife she was allowed to use as it was a tiny blade and would do no harm...if not forced. She opened the drawer only to find it missing. She skipped back to her snoring brother; she didn't care and woke him up. "My knife is gone..." she whispered into his ear. "Then use another one!" he shouted back at her, causing her to lose balance. "Mama doesn't let me use the others!" she cried back as she shook Hayate's shirt. "Then starve!" He yelled back snapping a blow at her, yet missing her by an inch. She only wiped her tears and looked at the door, awaiting her mothers return. "Kasumi...Kasumi..." a voice hissed from the upstairs. "Ayane? Is that you?" she yelled back. "Will you shut up and go away!" Hayate yelled, as he became more and more annoyed. Kasumi not wanting to disturb her brother, creeped up the stairs to inspect the voice.
"Kasumi... I have something for you..." the voice hissed as Kasumi got closer and closer. Kasumi finally reached the upstairs where the bedrooms were located. All the doors were closed except for her room. "Come...sister" the voice whispered. Kasumi walked up to her door and pushed it aside. She let out a horrific scream as she yelled and looked on in terror. Hayate rushed up the stairs ready to strike his sister but before he could he realized the evil that took place in her room. Ayane stood there smiling and laughing as she held Kasumi's pet hamster by its legs. The animal had been gutted by Ayane and slashed and cut, with Kasumi's special knife... The half sister's palms were covered in blood and so was the carpet. She only laughed at her accomplishment. Kasumi cried and screamed as Hayate looked on in disgust. After that day Ayane was put up for adoption at the local clinic and the family never saw the little devil ever again. Until years later, when Hayate took full control of the clan as Kasumi ran away. Hayate knew he could not find her on his own, so he had to enlist the one person who hated her the most...her own sister Ayane.
Kasumi snapped back to the present where she saw her sister hanging on to her arm. See? See what she has done to you? She has only caused torment! "But how...How did you know?" Kasumi snapped back, now in even more tears. I was always with you. I was with you the day you were born. I'm always here, here! Kasumi looked into the eyes of her sister, all she saw was blackness. "Sister please!" Ayane screamed as she stared up at Kasumi. Do it. Do it. Do it! Kasumi only looked back. "You're not my sister" she muttered. "Kasumi please! Forget the past! Times change!" Ayane pleaded back. "No...I'll never forget the past. I'll never forget!" Kasumi yelled back as she loosened her grip on her sister. Here it comes! Oh I just love this part! Do it! Do it! "Sister no!" Ayane screamed back. "I'm not your sister anymore" Kasumi said staring into the chasm. "But I love you! I never realized it but I do! You're the only one who cared for me on those nights!" Ayane cried back. She lies! It's only a trick! She is not the one who loves you! "You don't love me!" Kasumi yelled to her half sister. "This...is...the end!" Kasumi screamed as she let her hand escape the embrace of her dear sister. "N-OOO!" Ayane yelled as she plummeted through the air. Kasumi watched with a smile as her sister fell ninety feet, landing on a rock cracking her spine. Ayane desperately managed enough energy to lift her broken arm up to her sister. "Sis..." she choked as she finally closed her bloody eyes. The Lavender Angel had been put to sleep forever.
Yes! Yes! Finally you did it! We did it! We can be one again! Kasumi focused on her surroundings and let out a scream. "How c-ould I..." She cried as she looked over the cliff-side. Her tears of sorrow landed on her half- sister, who had no trouble accepting them. This is how it was meant to be! Don't cry my sweet! You finally did it! Now the evil is gone! Kasumi wiped her tears on her blue kimono as she looked up into the sky. "You're still here! The evil is not gone! You made me do it! Why? WHY!" she screamed over the abyss. You did it! You're the one who let go! YOU let go! Did you not realize? You let go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go!
"I can't take it! I can't take the torment anymore! Sister, please forgive me! I will see you soon!" Kasumi yelled as she tried to jump off the cliff, but the evil stopped her. I can't allow you to do that. I control you now! Death is not an option for you... for us. "NO! Leave!" Kasumi ran from the cliff, her sister's broken body embedded into her mind. All your fault, all your fault! "NO! You did it! You're the one who made me do it! You killed her and she's never coming back!" But you're the one who let go of her hand... let go you did! "Stop controlling me!" Kasumi screamed as she ran into the forest. She spotted her knife lodged into a tree and she lunged for it. She whisked it from it's spot and she stared into the silver blade. Forever tormented! Never loved! Never free! Never safe! "YOU will NO longer control me!!" Kasumi screamed with all her might as she forced the knife into her heart, piercing her like a bullet. You brought this upon yourself! You did it! Never free, never, never, never, NEVER! Kasumi fell back against the tree trunk; hands still clasped on the hilt of her dagger. She closed her eye's and whispered "I...am...free...sis-ter...he-re...I..com-"

Whew! That was one dramatic ending I might say! Poor Ayane! Now she'll be mad at me in every story I write! This is without a doubt, the best story I've written yet. (If you find any spelling errors let me know, I uploaded this right before I left and couldn't proofread in time. =] -----Rai over an out!
