Chapter Two- DeathFive years later
The land of Crispain was at peace while King Zechs started for the last five years to rebuild some of his land. Even the people of the land were content and happy but that was all about to change for two small children.
"Duo, let's go home it's almost dinnertime" said a little girl, who looked no older then five, stopping in the game her and Duo were playing. The little girl had chestnut brown hair that was in a braid that went past her butt and had violet eyes. Duo had chestnut brown hair that was in a braid that went just past his butt and had cobalt blue eyes that sometimes looked violet. Duo, who looked no older then eight, turned to his sister and smiled.
"Alright, Trinity, but the last one there has to do the others chores for a week" said Duo. Trinity then thought about it for twenty seconds before deciding on her choice.
"Ok let's do it" said Trinity taking off for their home.
"TRINITY, THAT WASN'T FAIR!" yelled Duo who chased after his sister. Trinity giggled as she ran home, when she heard her brother yell and chase after her. After about five minutes Trinity reached home with Duo who was right behind her. Trinity then ran to the front door and grabbed the handle to open it.
"HAHA! I beat you" said Trinity as she stuck her tongue out. Duo then stuck his tongue out while Trinity opened the door and ignored him. Trinity then walked inside with Duo close behind her.
"Well I guess you win" said Duo grudgingly "I'm going to my room be back in a few minutes"
"Ok" said Trinity who proceeded to the kitchen. Trinity had just walked into the kitchen when a horrible seen had met her eyes. "AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"
When Duo heard the scream he ran down stairs as fast as he could without tripping. When he reached the kitchen he looked for Trinity and found her slumped on the floor staring at the opposite wall. Duo ran over to Trinity and started shaking her to get her back to her senses.
"Trinity, what's wrong" said Duo still shaking her a little. "Come on talk to me"
Trinity, still staring at the wall, pointed a shaking hand at the wall she was staring at. Duo turned around and gaped when he saw what his sister was staring at so intently. It was their mother she had cuts all over her body while her cloths hung loosely from her body. Her hair had been hacked short but the worst was her throat and stomach both were cut open. Blood was everywhere on that side of the kitchen, the walls, the floor, and their mother. As tears filled her eyes Trinity got up and ran to the living room not able to look at her mother anymore. Duo just watched Trinity as she walked past him not knowing what to say to make it all better. Then a few seconds later Trinity had screamed again and Duo coming to his senses ran to the living room where he found Trinity with her back against the wall next to the door way with her knees up to her chest while her arms wrapped around them. Her head was against her knees but Duo could sense she was crying. Duo bent down in front of Trinity, lifted her head and saw her face was tear stained from crying so much.
"Trinity what's wrong this time?" asked Duo fighting the sudden urge to turn around. Unfortunately that is exactly where Trinity pointed, right behind him. Duo turned around for the second time today and gasped at the horrible person who was once their handsome father. His face was all cut up and so was the rest of his body. His cloths hung loosely like their mother's and blood was splattered everywhere on the floor, the wall, the chairs and their father's body. There was a slash on his neck and one eyeball hung out of it's socket. "I can't believe this…t-t-this can't b-b-be happening"
At that moment Trinity ran from the room and out the front door. Duo quickly chased after her trying to catch her. Duo finally caught Trinity when she was about ten yards away and pinned her to the ground with his legs on hers and his hands on her arms.
"Duo let me go I-I… can't…" said Trinity as tears swelled in her eyes and she began to cry. Duo released his sister, pulled her into a sitting position and pulled her into a warm embrace. Trinity then buried her head in Duo's shoulder and cried and cried and cried for what felt like hours until she finally fell asleep. Duo didn't really want to go back into the house he once called home, now a place of death, but it was getting dark and there was no place else to go.
/Besides we can just sleep in our rooms, then pack and leave tomorrow morning/ thought Duo finding no flaw in his plan. Duo then picked up Trinity, went inside the house again for the final time and up the stairs without a single glance in the kitchen or living room. When Duo reached Trinity's room he opened the door, walked in, pulled the blanket on the bed back with difficulty and put Trinity down on the bed, then pulled the covers over her. Trinity shifted in her bed for a moment or two then started breathing peacefully. Duo then decided it would be better to pack now then later and packed a bag for Trinity. Duo then kissed the top of Trinity's head and left to go to his own room. Duo also packed his own bag and then jumped in his bed and soon drifted into sleep.
Downstairs
"Well this was a good score" said a man who looked to be in his late twenties. He had short black hair and misty gray eyes. "But did you have to kill the two people living here, Seth?"
"Of course I did they would have told someone we were here and we don't want to be found now do we, Onyx" said Seth who looked around the same age as Onyx. He had brown hair and hazel eyes.
"Yea I guess you're right" said Onyx looking at the body of the woman that was once very much alive. Turning away from the site of the woman he went over to the cabinets to and started opening them in search of food. "Hungary?"
"Ummm…yea why not"
Onyx continued to search through the cabinets until he accidentally dropped a plate on the ground, which shattered into a million tiny pieces.
"You idiot" said Seth sounding a bit angry.
Upstairs
The breaking glass downstairs carried all the way upstairs and right into Duo's ears waking him in an instance. Duo sat up, rubbed his eyes and got out of bed prepared to get a drink of water from downstairs then go back to bed. Upon opening his door Duo could hear voices from downstairs, ones he didn't recognize. Thinking quickly he grabbed his bag and quietly as he could went to his sister's room. When he was in Trinity's room he proceeded to wake her up.
"Trinity, come on, you have to wake up" whispered Duo shaking Trinity as he whispered to her to wake up. After about a minute or two Trinity started to wake, then rub her eyes and finally sit up straight in bed. Trinity then turned to see who had interrupted her sleep and find Duo standing right next to her.
"Duo, what are you doing here?" asked Trinity
"We have to leave there are people downstairs I don't know and we just have to leave" said Duo moving away from the bed so Trinity could get out of it.
"But at night and how do you know there are people downstairs?" asked Trinity skeptical to what her older brother was saying.
"I heard them and I think it's time we leave" said Duo getting anxious about staying in this house any longer. "So grab that bag and let's get out of here" While Duo pointed to a bag near Trinity's bed. Trinity decided she was fighting a losing battle, gave up and picked up the bag Duo had pointed to.
"Alright, let's go" said Trinity as her and Duo tried their best to quietly make it out of the house. The two siblings crept down the stairs, which barely made a noise, to the hall before the kitchen and living room. They could hear voices all the way down the stairs, lucky for them the voices stayed in one room by the sound of it. They made it all the way to the front door and were home when one of the two voices walked out of the kitchen and spotted the children.
"Hey Seth there is children out here" said Onyx while never taking his eyes off the children. Before Seth however stepped out of the kitchen, Duo had opened the door, grabbed Trinity's hand and bolted out the door. The children could hearing yelling as they left the house running as fast as they could, while Duo all the while never let go of Trinity's hand. When Duo looked behind them he saw two men chasing after him and Trinity. After running for a few minutes Trinity had accidentally dropped her bag, while Duo who had no idea it had happened continued on without stopping.
"Duo stop I dropped my bag" said Trinity freeing her hand finally and running back to get her bag. Duo had turned in time to see the chasers gaining ground with Trinity, which caused Duo to run and help her. "AHHHHH!…Let me go" said Trinity while squirming trying to get free of her captor. The captor brought out a knife and held it to Trinity's throat.
"Move one more time and I'll slice your neck" said the man while having a firm grip on Trinity.
"So you caught one of them, Seth" said Onyx who looked between Seth and Trinity then finally at the knife with which his eyes went wide in shock. "Do you really have to threatening her?"
"Yes" said Seth with out looking up. As the two continued to argue Seth's hand that held the knife got loose around Trinity's neck to the point where she could bit him and she did. "OWWW! Mother fucker" said Seth as the knife slipped from his hand while he held his knife hand in his other hand. Trinity then slipped out from under his arms and fell to the ground where Duo caught her.
"Thanks Duo" said Trinity who then jumped out of Duo's arms and stood next to him.
"No problem" said Duo while smiling. Duo then saw the knife on the ground and lounged for it. Before the two men knew what was happening Duo had the knife and had lounged at the one called Seth stabbing him right in the heart. Seth stood there staring at Duo with a shocked look on his face as blood pored out his body from the knife wound. Seth then fell back onto the ground dead. Onyx looked between his friend with the knife sticking in his chest to the small boy who had stabbed him and with one quick decision Onyx turned right around and fled not wanting to be killed. Trinity who had watched the entire scene stared from the dead corpse to her brother and back again.
"Duo are you ok?" asked Trinity coming up behind him to see if he was all right.
"Yea I'm fine just need to wash up a bit" said Duo as his hands were covered in blood.
/What was I thinking/ thought Duo as the scene of just a few minutes ago replayed over and over again in his head. As if sensing what he was thinking Trinity turned to Duo and said.
"Duo, it's ok you did what you had to do" said Trinity smiling as she said it. Duo smiled back and then extended his hand as a sign to ask if Trinity if he could hold her hand. Trinity accepted by taking hold of Duo's hand while Duo took them back home where he washed up and then went out the front door.
"Duo where are we going?" asked Trinity as she was being dragged along by Duo.
"To the market place we'll sleep in one of the alleys for now" said Duo who didn't look back but kept moving forward while trying to forget this place.
"But, Duo…" began Trinity as Duo cut in.
"It's the best we can do on short notice" said Duo who continued moving while dragging Trinity behind him. "Now no more buts, ok"
"Fine"
The rest of the way they walked in silence until an hour later they arrived at the market place and started looking for an alley. Half an hour later they found a decent as any looking alley they could found and decided to sleep there. While they also decided tomorrow they would decide what to do with their current situation. The siblings lied down next to each other for warmth and soon fell fast asleep.
