Chapter 12
/Ness' POV/
Roy was only in the hospital for about three more days. He's been back for about four.
But when he came back, he was different...
Roy seemed more reclusive than before.
Even before, he was a lot more active than he was now. But now everyone noticed. I was surprised. We were eating at the long, dinner table when Captain Falcon said:
"Hey! Where's that little red-haired kid?"
"Roy you mean?" Marth sighed.
"Yeah. I haven't seen him since he came." Mario rolled his eyes.
"Hm, you guys should've just let him finish what he started." He mumbled under his breath. We stayed quiet for a few minutes before Samus made another observation;
"You know what I just noticed?" She waited until everyone was paying attention to her. "That since Roy has come back, he hasn't eaten."
"Yeah, but he does that all the time." Mario stated. Everyone nodded their agreements. Samus shrugged.
I looked at Mario. "Hey, you're only saying that because you hate him."
Mario, who had healed a little while ago, shoved his lasagna in his mouth. "Yeah, so what's your point? No one's talking to you."
Peach didn't seem to care, and her apathy was really getting on my nerves. Even Marth unconcerned attitude was making me furious.
We ate in silence once again. Nobody had anything to say. Daisy was here also, she was usually working.
I placed my elbow on the table and put my chin on my hands. I was at the middle of my story and I was trying to think of a good conflict.
I thought back on the story's plot. A kid who didn't belong, a nonconformist. He was obsessed with death, and he usually hurt himself and others. He had a girlfriend, but she was just a wench and-
Someone nudged me. Zelda gave me a warm smile;
"Hey, what's wrong?"
I looked around, everyone was gone. I checked the time, 10pm.
"Uhm..."
"You were daydreaming. Everyone's gone to sleep," She frowned and stared at the stairs. "Roy hasn't come down to eat..."
After Zelda made that comment, Roy padded into the room.
He looked horrible. His hair was messy, as it always was, and his face was red, on the right side of his cheek were the impressions his pillow left. Roy rubbed his eyes and looked at us for a second before he went past us.
It was sort of eerie. I felt Zelda shiver.
"Did you see that look in his eyes? It was creepy, it didn't even seem human...He looked..." She paused.
"He looked...?" I pressed.
"As if he wanted to-" Roy came back, holding a muffin in his hand. "Is that all you're going to eat?" Zelda asked. Roy made his way to the door that led outside and said:
"Are you my mom?" He walked out and slammed the door. Now it was my turn to shiver. Roy's voice had no emotion in it at all.
"Kill someone."
Isn't that what he always looked like.
"Maybe I should go and talk to him..." Zelda said, walking to the door.
"Be careful."
/Roy's POV/
I stared at the muffin. It was a plain muffin.
Yeah...
I heard the door open up, I didn't have to turn my head to know who it was.
"Zelda." I said plainly, why won't she just leave me alone?
I put my head down, the night air was calming.
"Why didn't you come down to eat?"
Was she another Marth?
"Because I wasn't hungry." I replied curtly.
"Is anything the matter?"
"No."
"You've been real quiet since you came back."
"Yeah, so what's your point?" I lifted my head and stared at the woods that were behind the building. What Peach did was still hurting me. I couldn't believe her, after all we've been through.
Even though it wasn't all that much...
And Daisy, she put Peach up to this, it's her...
I stood up, scaring the hell out of Zelda.
"Roy? Where are you going?"
I've always had made poor choices up to this point.
And here I was going to make a bad one.
But I couldn't stop.
I pushed Zelda out of the way and went into the building. My head was fuming.
"Roy!" Zelda said again, grabbing my arm. I whirled around and begged her.
"Please go and get Marth. Or somebody, please...Daisy..."
My head started to hurt.
You have to do this, if it wasn't for that bitch, Peach would still be yours.
I nodded to the little, impish voice in my head.
It was the cause of all these horrible deeds.
It was the one that made me stab myself...
Made me hurt Mario...
But I had to obey it. It scared me so much that I had to listen to every evil plan.
It was because of this thing that I had killed my one and only true friend...
"Father..." I whispered, going into the kitchen and taking the knife from the drawer. Zelda had gone to tell Marth or whoever something...
You fool! Ah, doesn't matter, hurry up and go and kill her!
I ran up the stairs, taking two flights at a time and skidded to a halt at Daisy's door.
I opened it and slid in. She was reading by her bed light. When I came in, Daisy had a look of horror on her face.
Say it.
"I'm sorry Daisy, but I have to cut your life short." Before she could let out a scream, I lunged at her and covered her mouth. I whipped out the knife.
Slash her neck.
I nodded again, from this voice, I knew how to kill her instantly.
Her jugular vein.
My eyes searched for the large vein. It was hard to notice in the dim light, but I had found it.
I pushed her to the floor and slashed the knife right on her neck.
I watched as her eyes turned white, which was pretty sudden. Her blood was dripping out like a stream of water.
I let my hand drop.
What have I done?
You've killed her!
I had to stop the bleeding, somehow. I ripped part of my shirt and put itaround her neck.Before I put it over her, I noticed that I had missed the vein. Thank goodness.
I threw my hands on my head and curled up on the floor.
And now when they see you, you'll be blamed.
"But, but it's your fault..." I mumbled.
I wanted to cry, but I couldn't.
You've cried too much.
I shut my eyes.
I had finally figured it out.
I was crazy.
My, my, you are very slow...
I felt drowsy, but I didn't have time to sleep.
The door to the room opened.
How did they know I was here?
'Cause, you moron, you said her name.
I heard a gasp. Then a few moments after that, someone yanked me up. I was now face-to-face with an angry Marth.
"Roy, what did you do here? I don't want any smart comments either, you ass." Marth seemed more angrier than he was when he chocked me.
This isn't good.
Zelda was doing everything to stop the bleeding.
Answer him.
"I-I, um..." I was so scared, that I couldn't form any words. Marth closed his eyes and took a deep breath.
"Roy, before I beat the hell out of you, I want you to answer my question."
I didn't say anything.
"Marth, forget him. What about Daisy?"
For a split second, Marth's grip on my hand loosened.
I wrenched my hand out of his grip and ran out of the room.
The only safe haven I knew was outside.
It didn't even take a minute before I was outside. But, I tripped over a rock and slammed into a tree. I was stunned for quiet a while.
When I came too, my hand was hurting.
I didn't even know I had fainted. I sat up.
I wasn't surprised to see Marth standing over me.
"You looked so retarded just now." He grabbed my shirt and pulled me to my feet. "Why did you stab her?"
"I..."
Marth's cool-like attitude was frightening me. I knew he would crack any second from now.
I couldn't believe this was happing.
I had just come back from the hospital, and now this.
"Why did you slash her neck like that?"
I finally broke.
"Because she made me angry."
Marth scoffed and started to laugh, almost teasing me.
"Roy, you're making me angry right now, but that doesn't give me the right to stab you, right?"
I blinked and just kept on staring.
And because I was acting like such a dope, I didn't see his left fist.
When I finally saw it, it was too late. His fist had already connected with my chin.
The force sent me wheeling to the ground.
The grass greeted my face. I could taste blood from my lips.
"Get up." Marth grabbed the back of my shirt again. But this time, I stood up myself.
I felt weak, the only thing I had eaten in four days was a muffin and an apple.
But Marth didn't know this, and even if he did, it would stop him from beating the crap out of me.
"You're a stupid cad, you know that?" He stated, punching my stomach. My breath was sucked right out of me. I held my stomach and groaned, landing to the ground on my knees.
I tried to breathe, but it was difficult.
"Get up, Roy." I shook my head, my stomach was hurting like I had swallowed a thousand needles.
The next thing that happened finally shattered me.
I heard Marth take something out of his pocket. He then whispered something inaudible and I felt something tear through my left shoulder.
The pain was unbearable, I involuntarily placed my right hand there. I felt a sticky pool of blood and one of my fingers slipped into a deep gash.
I gasped, how could Marth have been that strong to actually tear through the bone in my shoulder?
I sat down on my butt and started to cry.
Marth threw the blade beside me.
"How does it feel?"
I turned over and started to scream.
The pain...
"Shut-up!"
"No you shut-up!" I cried back, scrunching myself into my little ball.
"You still have the nerve to say that to me?'
I heard Marth whisper into my ear. I shivered, he was so vicious.
"Why did you do that?" I managed out. "Why don't you just kill me?"
"I want you to suffer."
"I've already suffered enough!" Marth made a weird sound.
"You are so conceited." I struggled to my knees and shook my head.
"No! Just kill me...!" I breathed out. The pain in my chest was starting to come back. I got to my feet, still holding my shoulder. "Marth...?" I was about to fall, but I held myself.
His eyes looked almost...
Inhuman.
"Roy, I don't want you to come near me." He clenched his fists.
"Marth...please." I moved away from him and let my back hit the tree trunk. I slid to the floor.
My whole body was shaking.
"I can't take any more of this." I said quietly. I heard Marth move next to me. I turned my head.
His face was so close to mine.
"Why can't you-"
I was afraid he was going to kiss me again, so I turned my head.
"I'm crazy."
"What?"
"I'm crazy. I keep on hearing this voice inside my head." I squeezed my shoulder, more blood flowed out, and with that, so did the pain. I panted loudly. "It's been making me do all these things. And it made me..."
I couldn't bring myself to say it. I turned my head to Marth.
I didn't care if he tried to kiss me again.
I didn't care if he looked ready to kill me.
I needed someone.
I was too weak, I couldn't sustain myself any longer. I shifted to the side and fell onto Marth.
"It made me kill my..." I took a deep breath. "My father..."
I felt Marth's heartbeat quicken.
"How?" He asked me, his voice beginning to sound more humane.
"I poisoned him...it was because...I wanted him..."
/Marth's POV/
I was eager to hear the last part, but Roy had fainted.
I couldn't believe he actually said he was crazy.
I shivered, for two reasons.
One was because just a few minutes ago, I wanted to slice his head off with my sword.
Two, because I was cold.
Roy killed his own father? I wonder what the reason was. He said because he wanted him...
I began to feel perverted.
Surely Roy wasn't done with what he wanted to say.
But I couldn't help but to wonder if he had feelings for his father...
I shook my head and picked Roy up. The smell of his blood was becoming all too much.
I sighed.
How am I going to explain this?
Kurai? Yeah? You have to work on your endings.
Did you like this chapter or what? Too much blood? Too much violence? Not enough romance?
I think I got the anguish part down pat. OH! And don't worry! I know how most of you /not mentioning any names... Icy Chinoumi...erm/ hate Incest pairings. I just wanted to make Marth look perverted that's all. There is no incesty things here. If I did make one, it'll be rated M. And I know most of you /not mentioning any names/ hate shounen-ai pairings. I don't think there will be much of that, maybe just one scene later on. Should I change the rating? Or shouldn't I? Oh, just to point out, I'll be putting the last chapter for this up soon. Probably before school ends...
There maybe a sequel...
If Roy doesn't die...
Au revoir, mon amis!
