Kaerith
" Why are you here Vaerith ?"Mhorvael asks, head tipped in questioning, eyes narrowed like she's measuring the weight of his lie."i couldn't have asked it better myself .
" Can't I simply have come because I missed my family ? Or come for truce ?" I ignore the last part like I didn't hear it , cause I didn't .
" You don't know the concept of family Vaerith !" My teeth grinds involuntarily
" And you do brother ? Oh do not deceive yourself that you stayed behind for the love of your cozy family , we both know why you stayed behind "
" There he is ! The proud bastard , always so sure of yourself, so tell us Vaerith - why did I stay behind ?" The angles have switched , Mhorvael is no longer in between it's just us two , the background lines blurrred from view . I watch as his nose flares in anger , his narrowed eyes watching me , contemplating
" I will not stay here and be insulted by the likes of you Kaerith !"
" The likes of me ? Powerful , charming ? Because I speak the truth ? You have no concept of family , and maybe I also do not -but at least I never claimed to be all loving , look at mother !" His hands clench into a fist , my words digging deep inch by inch by inch , he feels it
" Look at her !!!!" The words flow smoothly from my lips ,my voice feeling the chambers " her golden son ! " The words come out with every ounce of venom I could muster , get calm " I was always the one who didn't care , always the one away from the family ! The odd one , the black sheep !you were her world ! Hell ! You are her world , and you left her with me ... And she puts so much effort into showing me love that any one with eyes could see they are not intended for me , I'm sure Everytime she looks at me she lets her imagination wander to you , yet you are the one failing her ! " I let my eyes land on my mother's , I soak in the pain in her eyes , it's better than all the love she had been showing me , her mouth opens but she closes it back probably doubting her choice of words in this .. fragile moment .
" Well then , So you will always be the spare and never the main brother.. and I'm glad you know this , let it sink in Kaerith " I search myself for something, hurt , pain .. but it's numb , numb of all emotions as it should be .
" And you Vaerith ..." i don't need to be the main , I'm very content " Always the demon and never - the Devil ! So I'll leave this warning once , stay away from her "
" The girl ?" My mother finally speaks
" Yes mother ! His new toy , his precious little Diana ... "
" You fight with your brother over her ?" She asks me in disbelief, which is pathetic
" It's so fitting isn't it , out of everything I said that's what you blame this fight on , can't say I'm surprised , your golden boy is back who does no wrong ! So by all means blame her ! But tell your son to stay away !"
" Oh didn't you hear brother ?" I turn my head facing him " she has a new professor, one who is very keen on her well-being"
" You wouldn't dare !!"
" Oh I have ! I dared brother , is it not you who loves to stick to the shadows ? Stick to her ? Well I thrive in the spot light , and her professor .. standing there addressing her - alongside the other insignificant humans , there's a thrill to it , knowing they do not know what lays beneath the mask , the danger lurking at the corners " fury that's all I feel , all I see is red but violence won't solve this
" Fine then , be her guard dog when I can't Vaerith , it's rather suiting for you . " A dark chuckle escapes my lips guarding the anger I shoved down, and it's so worth it as his eyes lace with confusion and maybe even - doubt, the great egoistical Vaerith , doubting himself , noding towards the others I leave the chambers proud of my restraints and control . Truce can burn in hell .
