I killed her…I killed my own sister. I lived with the guilt for so long. I carried it in my heart like I was supposed to, but I suppose that was what I was supposed to do. I had heard about twins in the past who take their own lives after killing theirs siblings. But I couldn't do that. No, not to Hisa. We were together now, we were one, and killing myself would be like killing her all over again. I could never do that to her. My heart couldn't take another death, not after what we had to sacrifice. And there was the village.
I wanted you to know I love the way you laugh
I wanna hold you high and steal your pain away
I keep your photograph; I know it serves me well
I wanna hold you high and steal your pain
Everything we did, we did it if for the village. Do you think I would have killed my sister for no reason? No, there was no resentment towards her, only love. She was, and still is now, a part of me. I would give up anything now to see her back again. I would give myself if I could. But that's the irony in it all. If I gave up myself, I would be killing her. Again. So I push on. People look at me differently now. Like I'm a woman with some rare disease that is eventually going to kill me.
'Cause I'm broken when I'm open
And I don't feel like I am strong enough
'Cause I'm broken when I'm lonesome
And I don't feel rite when you're gone away
Is that how they're supposed to treat me? I wouldn't know. I certainly know how they are treating the new set of twins. The same way they treated Hisa and I. These twins-two boys- oh how I feel sorry for them. Boys are always more difficult than girls. There isn't as strong as an emotional connection. I talk with the boys often-they already know about the ritual. I tried to comfort them-especially the older. I told him that everything would be alright in the end, that soon he and his brother would be together again. I don't know if it helps him any, but it is certainly a comfort to me.
You're gone away; You don't feel me here anymore
The older of the two-I talk to him more often. I think he's scared, but I don't know. I never realized how different it would be with male twins. I guess they don't connect on the same emotional level that girls do. I can't tell for sure. It really doesn't matter, they're going to do the ritual no matter what. The hellish abyss is rumbling, and they can't delay it much longer. I feel so bad, these boys are going to be so young. Though, it might help. Their youth might keep a stronger bond between the two. I'm sure that if there is enough physical pain, it will work. I'm not too worried though…the older brother, he seems to care very much about his twin.
The worst is over now and we can breathe again
I wanna hold you high, you steal my pain away
There's so much left to learn, and no one left to fight
I wanna hold you high and steal your pain
Hisa…I miss her so much. I sit out with the butterflies so often now. I try to distinguish one from the other. I try to find Hisa's face in one of them. But I can't see her. I can't find her among the slew of butterflies. There are so many butterflies, I can't find her. I can't even tell if she's among the group. I don't even know where to look for her. I searched all our favorite spots. "Hisa…Hisa…" I called her name so many times, until my throat went hoarse. I thought she would hear. I hoped she would hear. But nothing came. Not a single butterfly floated my way. Maybe she just wasn't there. Or maybe she couldn't hear me.
'Cause I'm broken when I'm open
And I don't feel like I am strong enough
'Cause I'm broken when I'm lonesome
And I don't feel right when you're gone away
The nightmares shake me so badly now. I watch her death from my eyes. Because I was the one who killed her. It was my hands around her throat. I can't believe I would stoop so low. I didn't think there was any other way. Is there? I don't even know. But I think Hisa does. Sometimes, in my nightmares, she tells me the answers to my questions. There is a way to stop the ritual. Hisa wouldn't lie to me. She tells me, in my dreams. Right before I kill her. And as I watch her body tumble into hellish abyss, she tries to tell me the rest. But…
There's nothing…
'Cause I'm broken when I'm open
Is she even there?
And I don't feel like I am strong enough
I don't know
'Cause I'm broken when I'm lonesome
They told me, after I completed the ritual
And I don't feel right when you're gone away
I might feel some "effects"
'Cause I'm broken when I'm lonesome
Could this be one of them?
And I don't feel right when you're gone away
Could insanity be one of them?
You're gone away; You don't feel me here anymore.
End chapter two.
Wow, that song fit really well. I was really happy about that. Chapter three "9, 10 Begin Again" will be coming soon. Here's a little excerpt…
Twins…I couldn't believe it when I saw them. Two girls, I thought I was going to cry. Did they come to save this cursed village? The news tittered through groups of butterflies…I think that even the ghosts knew it. I've been hovering around the younger of the two…there's something different about her. She's so connected…to them.
Please R&R
Until next time,
