Chapter Three: My New Home...
My eyes fluttered open. I felt so tired. The dream that I had was weird.
"Everything was just a dream..." I said softly and giggled.
How silly of me to think that I actually believed that my brother was a red alien monster that chased me in the anime convention.
"Maybe I should take it easy on the anime... mostly hentai." I said and sat up from the bed. I quickly realized that I wasn't in my motel room, but in a dark and strange room that had an unpleasant smell.
"Where am I!?" I shouted getting off of the bed and realized that I was wearing yellow pajamas with ladybug patterns on them. "Why am I wearing this!? Who put me in this!? Harry!"
I looked around frantically before spotting a door. I quickly ran towards it and grabbed its knob, I gave it a harsh tug but the door barely opened a crack. My heart was beating so fast in fear as I kept on tugging on the door till' it opened enough so I could squeeze through it.
I looked around to see that I was in some kind of abandoned office building. The halls were dark and empty. So many questions ran though my head.
Was I kidnapped?
Was I saved?
Was that red alien thing real?
Am I still dreaming?
I quickly shook those thoughts out of my head, "I need to concentrate about getting out of here!" I walked as quickly and as quietly as I could down the hall. When I was about to reach the end of the hall a monster fell off the ceiling and landed in front of me. I gasped as it hissed at me.
I backed away from that monster in fear. It was blue and red, it had six arms. I didn't dare take my eyes off of it. The thing growled showing its horrid fangs.
"T-Taukete… Kaijuu…" I said as the monster started to crawl towards me. The words could barely leave my mouth. "-kete… Taukete kaijuu…"
"Cletus! Why did you leave the TV on the Korean channel!" A woman's voice said.
The monster turned its head as a woman turned the corner. The woman was a grayish pale color, she had long black hair, and on her left eye was a four pointed star tattoo. She was the monster but she was calm.
"What is it Doppelganger?" She asked calmly before looking at me. "Oh I see, she's awake… I was hoping she was going to sleep forever." Her stare turned cold.
I felt a cold sweat feeling. Was this pure fear?
"Akumu..? Is this a nightmare?" I asked softly.
The woman smirked and answered, "Yes, the greatest nightmare. Reality."
"Wh-Where am I!? Why am I here!?" I asked. I was mad at myself for asking so rudely, but I was just so confused and I needed answers.
The woman glared at me and the spider monster thing hissed at me. They took a step towards me, in response I took a step back.
"I should sick Doppelganger on you so he could tear you limb from limb, I'll just tell your brother it was an accident." She stated before she was slammed to the wall by red slime.
The monster Doppelganger cringed in fear. I was more confused than ever.
"What could scare that monster!?" I thought before I saw that red monster that chased me in the anime convention. "That thing is here!?"
"I should gut you for what you said Shriek." The red alien stated as the slime retracted back into its body. It held Shriek by the neck against the wall.
The woman named 'Shriek' smiled nervously and said, "Carnage… I-I would never do that sweetheart. I was just joking I love Carol like a sister, you know that." Shriek said nervously shaking a bit in fright.
"Her name is Kerill." The monster said letting go of the woman, "Make a mistake like that again and I'll slit your throat." The black and red monster turned to me; it had a large grin on its face.
I wanted to run but the other end of the hall was a dead-end and the room that I was in had the window boarded up. I was trapped.
"Hey sis', I missed you." The alien said walking towards me. Its slimy red slime somehow retracted into his skin. When all of the red goo was absorbed into his skin my eyes widened in shock. He was the man that looked like my old papa. He was tall, he had green eyes, and he had messy red hair.
I just stared at that man; it couldn't be who I think it is. It just couldn't, it was impossible.
"Cletus..?" I asked softly.
"I know my looks changed, that's puberty for ya." My brother said. "It's been twelve years since I saw you, but now we can be a family again."
Those words repeated in my head.
Now we can be a family again.
Now we can be a family again.
Nooooooooooooow weee can be a family againnn.
Family again.
Again.
Again.
My breath quickened as the room started to spin.
"Again..? Again… Heheheheh…" I muttered in soft laughter before I fainted.
O*T*A*K*U
I woke up in my bed again and I groaned. I laid on my stomach and smothered my face into my pillow.
"I really need to lay off anime for a week! ... Well maybe not for a week, but I at least need to stop watching certain ones. I'm getting so many weird dreams." I said into my pillow, making a whole bunch of muffled noises.
"Is that Asian talk or something?" A voice said.
I gasped as I quickly sat up, holding my pillow to my chest, and spotted my brother sitting on a chair in the corner of the room.
"I'm starting to think that this isn't a dream…" I said softly.
Cletus just stared at me, he looked amused about something.
I however found him creepy and annoying so I threw my pillow at him, "Stop that, you're creeping me out Cletus!"
He grabbed the pillow and held it close to him, almost lovingly. He mumbled something under his breath, before he stood from the chair, and walked over to me towards the bed, with a friendly smile on his face. I scooted away when he leaned onto the bed.
"I missed you so much…" He said softly as his eyes had a glint of happiness within them. "I've been so lonely all of these years… Why didn't you come back?"
I could've sworn my whole body paused in motion. I felt cold sweat form upon my skin. How could I possibly answer his question? I was so damn confuse about everything that I couldn't say a simple answer.
"You're scared," He said as a red tentacle came from his back and touched my face, "that's okay… I can understand."
I started to shiver when the tentacle caressed my face.
"Even though you're scared… I still have questions you have to answer." He said before he grabbed me from the front of my pajama top and pulled me towards him.
I struggled against him, but he grabbed my chin with his free hand, making me look at him in the eyes. His face was stern and serious.
"Why didn't you come back?" He asked, I was speechless.
He repeated the question, "Why didn't you come back!?"
My heart started to beat faster. Starring into his angered eyes started to make my emotions flood with guilt. I was still silent.
"Why didn't you come back!?" He shouted, making his voice sound demonic again. I flinched and tried to push him away, but he was too strong. He pinned me down, while the red tentacle wraps itself around my neck.
I started to panic, I was helpless. I would've used my telekinetic abilities, but I sealed it away years ago.
"Maybe I should show you what I have been through, maybe I should make you sane!" He said lowly starring at me with pure hatred.
Looking into my brother's eyes, seeing his hatred. Maybe he was going to kill me, like Tony thought over twelve years ago.
I couldn't take it anymore… I started to cry.
"Gomenesai! Gomenesai! I'm sorry! I'm so sorry…" I said crying. I thought he was going to kill me. I thought I was going to die, but I didn't. Cletus' face softened and he had a gentle smile upon his face.
The tentacle around my neck retracted back into his body and he started to caress my cheek, "How can ever I be mad at you?" He got off of the bed and I sat up.
He started laughing softly, "I can't control myself!" He laughed more, "I'm so angry and yet so happy that you're here!" Then he stopped laughing and he looked at me, "I'm hungry, let's go get something to eat."
Before I could protest he grabbed me and carried me out of the room.
I figured out that my big brother was insane…
