This feels awkward. I know I said I'm gonna stop writing this for a while, but I found this one my computer. This is a chapter I am not so sure about, but my friend said it's good and she hates me for not saying who Sam's brother was (she didn't read the last chapter at that time and I didn't want to give it away). So, here it is.

Neither Emily nor I asked about his brother. Finally, after a few days (I believe it was a few days) Sam went from mopping around and went back to his usual way.

"Where's we gonna go?" He asked out of the blue. "We can't stay ere' forever. I miss the sun."

We decided to just leave the mall and find a place to go. Emily said that she wanted to go to New York. Apparently, she always wanted to go there before she became what she is now. Sam laughed and told her that that was a little far for him.

I kept thinking about the fact that Sam had a brother, and he never told us about it. You know that feeling you have when you make a new friend and you suddenly want to know everything about them? That's what I felt with Sam's twin brother.

When I first saw the man, I would've never guessed he was related to Sam, but looking at Sam and remembering what the man had looked like, I can see a small amount now. Our eyes have turned yellow, but at certain and rare moments, you could see a small amount of our original eye color. I saw Sam's natural eye color when the moon light hit him once. They were the Sam kind of blue as the man's. Their hair was different colors, and due to the large tumor on Sam's face, I couldn't see much of his bone structure.

But the right side of Sam's body was clear, aside for a few boils, letting me see that their foreheads were about the same size. Their noses looked alike, but not exactly since some of his tumor covered a little of his nose and might've messed him up.

It may not be much, but it's enough to convince me that I shouldn't be kicking myself for not even thinking that man looked a little bit like Sam. By the time I finished thinking, I was kicking myself for taking so long to think about something I could barely see.

"Whatcha thinkin' about, Erick?" Sam asked after we thought of where to go. I shrugged.

"You have a brother." I said looking into his yellow eyes (well, the one that I could see). Sam sighed shook his head.

"Ima gonna have to tell you about him, aren't I?" I didn't nod or say anything, but Emily sat down by my and nodded, waiting for a story.

"Why didn't you ever tell us about him?" I asked. Sam closed his eyes and started to think about where to start. After what seemed like forever, he started his story.

"Now, this story won't be so long, so don't go thinkin' that you'll be sittin' ere' for hours. Anyways, his name is Ellis. He's my twin brother, but I'm older than him by ten minutes. We looked like just brothers from afar, our eyes are . . . were the same, same bones only difference was our hair.

"Ma use to say that there was nothing different with us. We both loved fixin' things up. We were in a band 'gether. He played bass, I played drums. We would watch Jimmy Gibbs Jr. and listen to the Midnight Riders all the time. We use to hang out all the time, but then him and his friend, what was his name? Oh well, but they became inseparable. I hated him and he hated me, and Ellis stopped hangin' out with me and never left that guys side."

"But why didn't you tell us about him?" I asked again. Sam laughed and smiled.

"Cause I didn't remember him. Jus' like you didn't member Emily. The moment I saw Emily attack Ellis, I knew who he was."

"But why did you save him?" Emily asked. "You wanted food, and he was a person. If I attacked any others, you wouldn't even think about saving them. What makes him so different? He's just a person."

Sam's jaw dropped and his eye went wide. "Emily! Ellis is my brother. You don't kill family. Would you kill your own father for food?"

Emily looked at me, then to Sam, then back to me.

"I wouldn't now." I smiled at her. "But if he was alive, yes."

My smile disappeared. Sam shook her head and walked away. I stared at Emily, right into her yellow eyes. I will never forget the look of hunger in them. I got up and started to walk in the opposite direction Sam went, when Emily grabbed onto my hoodie with her long claw to stop me.

"Daddy," She said softly. I turned around and saw nothing that looked like an apology. She looked ready to explain. "I'm sorry for thinking that, but I know you would do it too. Think about it, food is food here. You wouldn't think about how their life is or was. Or if they were a part of your family, you would just think about where you can start eating him."

I didn't show any emotion. I knew she was right. I would do that. Emily would too, and Sam almost did but stopped himself and saved Ellis, his brother. Emily was what she feared in the beginning. I was what I kept trying to run away from.

We're monsters.

This doesn't mean I'm gonna continue. Maybe I will, maybe I won't. It's staying under complete (won't be complete) and may no be updated. I'll decided during the summer. But hey, I'm free from school for a while. That means I don't have to go to bed until midnight and worry about homework. Let's just see what happens.

Like I say at the end of every chapter, I love Sam. (It's true! I do!)
