Chapter 5: Dangerous Decisions
"Rikova, don't do anything stupid. Do you hear me? You harm her and we'll die anyway, our fates are tied to hers." Kura, trying to reason with his brother reminds him that if he were to kill the girl, somebody would find out, and in turn would ultimately ensure his own death.
"Can't you tell Kura, I don't care any longer, anything must be better than this. I can't even sleep without worrying about her. Her of all people. I shouldn't let this go on any more, I can't take it. Samek, you can't tell me that your scar has absolutely nothing to do with her. Now, can you."
Samek, clearly afraid to question his brother, timidly answers, "No, it had nothing to do with her, an old farmer went to kill me with a scythe, but missed and cut my eye. When it finally healed, the blood had gotten into it, and changed it's color. I could've been dead, but no, I just lost the purple color in one of my eyes, and gained a scar."
All but Rikova seemed shocked, Samek had never said anything about this, or without the cover of darkness, anything at all. Rikova seemed unfazed, but appeared even more ready to attack.
"You say it has nothing to do with her, but think, if she wasn't born, would you have been hunting those sheep?"
Samek looked defeated, there was basically no way, that he could find, to save his sister.
"Well, do you admit it, she is the reason our lives are like this. She is the reason we are now the way we are. She must die, let me kill her!"
"Rikova, no, you can't, Rikova!"
Rikova reaches behind his back, pulls out a long, beautiful sword, and lunges at his sister, prepared to slice her in two.
The last words she heard were "Ukiro, no, you can't die, UKIRO!"
Samek had finally said her name, a name, no one had uttered since the four children were little, and safe. But, Rikova had chosen their fates, he has crossed the line, done the unspeakable. Soon the men, human men, will come to do their jobs. They will come and hunt the demon brothers, showing no mercy as they assume their true forms. They will shoot them with arrows a hundred times, burn them, and scatter their ashes, just to be sure that the brothers will never come back.
"Rikova, why?"
"THUD."
So, how'd ya like it? I know, I know, the main character is not supposed to die in a continuing story, but it does get confusing from here on so about chapter (thinking is it 13 or 15?) well, it's one of them, because I skipped 14, and it's either one above or below it, yeah, well, whatever. You'll find out when it's up.
