Chapter One

"Ritsuka . . . I have something to tell you . . ." said an earless adult, talking into his cell phone.

He waited for a reply. "Yeah . . .? What is it, Soubi?" answered a weak voice that caught the adult's attention.

"Ritsuka?! Are you okay?! You sound hurt! I'm coming over! Please, hold on, love." Concern was heard perfectly clear from the blond-hair man.

"Please . . . Hurry. Mom . . . She might actually kill me this time . . . because she knows about you. She knows about our relationship and is very upset." The voice cracked and silent sobs were soon heard. "She said she's calling the police on you for pedophilia and then she's going to kill me! I've had it with her! Threatening to hurt me, sending me to the hospital or killing me doesn't bother me! B-but the th-thought of seeing you behind bars. . . She's going too far!"

"Ritsuka, it's okay. She won't be able to lay a finger on me. I'm almost there. Hang on and I'll take care of everything when I arrive!" answered the worried adult, rushing through the cold night, desperately trying to reach Ritsuka's house as soon as possible.

"No! She'll hurt you! She'll hurt you the same way she hurts me when I do something wrong! Soubi, please, don't come! I love y—" and then the line was cut off.

RITSUKA'S POINT OF VIEW

"WHO WERE YOU TALKING TO OVER . . .?" My mother's eyes grew silent as she held my blue cell phone with the butterfly wallpaper up to her face. "Where did you get a cell phone? I never gave you one. I didn't want to because I don't want you to have something expensive that should belong to my real Ritsuka. You're not my real Ritsuka. You're not my son! WHERE IS MY RITSUKA?! WHERE ARE YOU HIDING MY REAL SON?!"

Mother's eyes were popping out like an owl's. Looking closely at her, it did look like she was a demon, like Soubi always said. A demon that could easily kill its pray without later feeling guilty. I was scared. My body felt numb, as if it were paralyzed.

"Wait, mom, let me expl—"

"SHUT UP! YOU CAN'T CALL ME 'MOM'! YOU'RE NOT MY SON AND I'M NOT YOU'RE MOTHER!" her stare soften, tears spilling over. "Both my beautiful children are dead AND YOU CAN'T REPLACE THEM!" she hissed, squeezing my cell phone so hard that I heard it crack in her palm.

"I'm sorry. . ." I whispered, tears now overflowing from my eyes.

She grabbed me by my shirt, stretching it more than it needs to be and she throws be across the room. She slammed me against a wall and I gasped as I heard another crack, but it did not come from my cell phone. The sound came from me.

My eyes widen and my chest became tight. I clutched my shirt and began pounding my chest. I try gasping for air, but it hurt my chest. I felt numb everywhere and worse of all, Soubi was going to walk in any second and probably lose control. I just hope he will not kill her.

"I hate you, Ritsuka." My mother murmured and that shocked me. "I've always hated you for taking both my sons away from me."

With the last ounce of breathe I had in me, I responded to her. "I hate myself too, but Soubi will always love this fake Ritsuka." Then, after that. . . Everything went black and my sight became blurry.
