Previously onKyle's past
Suddenly there was a knock at the door.
"Hello?" Brax questions seeing a middle aged women at the door.
"Is this the Braxton residence?" The lady asks.
"Yea." Casey replies wiping tears away from his eyes with his sleeve.
"My name is Katie Bennett, Kyle's Aunty." She replies sadly.
Now
Heath charged at the women who called herself Kyle's Aunty.
"You." Hehisses pushing her against the door.
"Heath stop it." Brax hisses as him and Casey pull him off the lady.
"This is Duncan's wife." Heath hisses.
"She might be his sister." Brax hisses.
"No i'm Duncan's wife." Katie sighs.
This time Heath got even angrier.
"This ispartly your fault." Heath hisses.
"Huh?" Casey questions.
"You watched your sons and your husband treat my little brother as their personal punching and tackling dummy they picking on him and made his life a living misery and all you could do was watch or did you join in, if so GET OUT." Heath screams.
"Can i please explain." Katie begs she had tears running down her face.
Brax pulled Heath back and motioned Katie to sit.
"After Lisa was killed i wanted so bad to tell the police, i loved Kyle like he was my own, he was polite, well mannered and he always had a smile on his face even though he knew that he was unloved by his father." Katie smiles lightly.
"Then why didn't you?" Andy asks.
Katie stares up.
"I thought Kyle had 3 brothers not 5." She mumbles.
"Yea Heath and i are his half brothers." Brax replies pointing to him and Heath.
"And i'm his brother, not by blood but Istill consider Kyle as my brother." Casey replies looking at his shoes wiping away tears.
"I'm Casey's Half Brother." Josh replies pointing at Casey.
"And i'm this ones Half Brother." Andy sighs pointing at Josh.
"Now answer the question." Heath hisses
"Duncan told me that if i told the police that it was him who killed Lisa that no one would believe me and that he would kill me." Katie sighs.
"He said that i had to run far away." Katie continues.
"Why didn't you take Kyle with you?" Brax asks.
"Yea i thought you loved him like he was your own." Heath hisses he was taking this the hardest cause he was the one Kyle told mostly about his horrific upbringing and he was the one that Kyle poured his pain out to that night.
"i tried to Duncan wouldn't let me." Katie frowns.
"What do you mean he wouldn't let you?" Brax asks.
"you know how strong he is, i was threatened by him."Katie sighs.
"Youwere threatened do you have any idea what Kyle went through growing up?" Heath hisses.
"Yes before Duncan ordered me away he forced meto watch." Katie cries out.
Flashback
8yearold Kyle Bennett was lying on the floor of his Uncles attic, which was now his house since his Uncle killed his mum. It was a dusty attic which caused Kyle tosneeze a lot.
"Kylie." Duncan calls out evilly.
Kyle hid behind the oldbattered couch that was in there that was the only advantage of being on the small side, he could hide when he wanted to from bullies but most of all from his Uncle and had been two weeks since his mothersfuneral and his Uncle made his life a misery for everyday of it, he knew his Aunt wanted to help, he loved his Aunt and he didn't understand why she would marry someone like Duncan.
"Oh Kylie, come out come out whereever you are."Duncan calls out like a mass murderer approaching Kyle more and more.
"I'm notgoing to hurt you." Duncan smileswickedly but Kyle knew he would and he hid more.
Duncan knew Kyle was in there somewhere.
"Comeon Princess." Duncan sneers.
"Daddy's not going to hurt you." Duncan laughs.
Kyle hated Duncan and never would call him Dad. He pulled his knees closer to his chest.
"Anton, i need you help." Duncan calls out.
You could describe Anton as a bully, he was thick set, tall and had muscles far biggerthan any other eightyearold Kyle had ever seen, He picked on Kyle every day atschool and then again at home.
If you were comparing Kyle and Anton toanimals, Anton would be a lion and Kyle would be his prey.
"Yea dad." Anton smiles he loved helping his dad outespecially when it meanthurting Kyle.
"I'm looking for your cousin and i need your help." Duncan smiles.
"Mypleasure."Antonlaughs as he starts to walk around with his Dad.
Kyle can feel him getting closer and at theworst time ever the dust in the attic got thebest of him and he made a small sneeze, itwas small but it was still loud enough for Anton to hear as he pulled the couch out andgrabbed Kyle.
"Hey Kylie." Duncan grins as he grabs Kyle off Anton.
Now Kyle was really scared.
"Please."Kyle begs.
"hahahahayour such a wuss Kylie, crying likelittle baby, like a little baby girl." Duncan hisses.
Kyle hated being talked to like this it made himfeel so small.
"Duncan you leave that boy alone his mother just died."Katie hisses trying to pull Kyle away from Duncan.
Duncan backhands her and she falls to the floor.
"AuntyKatie." Kyle cries andtries to run to her but iskept back by Duncan.
"Youlisten here my little darling Kylie, you are not onlygoing topay for being the littleworthlessweaklingthat you are but you are going to pay for hiding from me and you are going to pay for your Auntytrying to help you." Duncan sneerskissingKyle's neck.
He shoved Kyle to the floor.
"Andyou're going to watch." Duncan laughs at Katie.
"Please don't." Katie begs.
"Everytimeyou shut your eyes or look away Kylie all earn himself a extra minute in the hot house." Duncan grins.
The hot house was a room with the hot water cylinder in it and everyday Kyle had to spend an hour in there, that was torture enough anything added on was excruciating.
Duncan started beating Kyle, he kicked him over and over again in the ribs, punched his face and threw him up against walls, Katie didn't take her eyes off him at all.
Kyle was beaten and bruised it was obvoius that he had had enough but Duncan brought him over to Katie.
"Slaphim across the face hard." Duncan sneers.
Katie looked up at the man she had once loved and wondered howhe could turn into such a monster, he was asking her to slap her already badly beaten up nephew.
"Duncan." She mutters.
"Do it or it'll be an extra hour in the hot house and if its not hard enough to knock him off his feet it'll be an extra two hours." Duncan sneers.
Katie looked at her nephew he looked small and more fragile than ever, his brown eyes were fulltears and he had a redall around both of his eyes which indicated that soon he would have two black eyes.
"I'm sorry." She cries as she slaps Kyle so hard he falls out of his Uncles grip onto the floor.
"Good." Duncan sneers and pulls a sobbing Kyle off the floor.
Kyle knew his Auntyhad to do it and he held no grudges against her.
"No leave and never come back." Duncan hisses.
"What?" Katie gasps.
"You heard me,Kylie will go in the hot houseuntil you leave and if you ever come back i'll make sure to lock him in there and throw away the key." Duncan hisses.
Katie looked at her nephew so small in his Uncles grip.
"If you ever kill that boy Duncan i'll make sure you get life." Katie hisses.
"Looking forward to it." Duncan sneers.
Katie walks away and gets her stuff and leaves the house forever, Kyle has never felt more unsafe in his life.
"Now the real fun begins Princess." Duncan laughs as he chucks Kyle in the cylinder room.
End of flashback
Brax couldn't believewhat he was hearing he made Kyle's Aunt watch him getting 's heart softened after hearing this and he walked over to Katie and put his armaround her until shestopped crying.
"I promised myself that if Duncan and my sons ever killed that darling little boy i would make sure they got life."Katie sobs.
Brax looked at thislady she was generallyupsetwhichmeant she generally cared about Kyle.
He walked up to herand pulled her into a hug.
"It'll be okay, they will get life but are you sure you want to send your sons away forthe rest of theirlives?" Brax asks.
"They deserve it, they knewwhatthey were doing." Katie sobs.
Brax felt bad for this lady she has known Kyle for longer than any ofthem and she loved him with all her heart, itwasn't just his familygrieving,Kyle's Aunty needed support and Brax and the others weregoing to be there for her.
