(Author's Note: you might have read the name of the mc as Gabriel, in the previous chapter. So this is just to inform you, that I changed it to Duncan. Thanks for reading.)
The next day Duncan prepared for school, he was a little scared to go, because of the bullies, but he preferred going to school and facing this bullies they were at least better than his step siblings, they at least allow him a few hours of rest unlike his step siblings so, but he had to go.
After preparing, Duncan took a look at his self in the half broken mirror in his room,
You are the most handsome boy in the world, Duncan recalled the words his mother will always tell him. But now she has left him in this harsh world to suffer alone. As Duncan thought of this, the hatred he had for the man who called him self his father increased exponentially
He was going to personally kill that man. He thought to himself.
He waited a little longer in his room to know if his mother's handmiad will bring him any food. The woman was the only person who still cared for him, despite being just a miad. She still cares for him to the best of her ability. She brings him food when ever she could knowing fully well that might get killed if caught. She transferred the genuine love she had for his mother when she was still alive to him. But he couldn't give her anything in return other than his greatfulness. She was one of the few person, or even the only person, that makes him feel that among a thousand bad people there is one good person.
Gabriel waited for about thirty minutes, but he did not see aunt Veronica, as he porpularly called her.
Seems like one of those days I don't eat anything. He thought to himself as he walked down stairs from his tiny room. He wished that his step siblings will still be in their room, but wishes weren't horses. Reality had other plans. Hey Dun! Eric one of his step brother called as he passed the dinning hall. Duncan pretended he did not hear his name, so he continued walking. A bad choice, A really bad choice.
*CRASH!!* Hey trash are you not the one am talking to, Eric asked, as he stoned the glass plate, he was eating with at Duncan. The plate crashed at Duncan's head, and the food inside littered all over his clothes. Great! Duncan thought to himself. I am stock at this house, what can be worst than that.
As Duncan turned to go inside his room, HEY! TRASH!! Erin, Eric twin sister called out to him.
Duncan contemplated if he should ignore her, but he decided against it. he knew when to fight and when not to. He was brave, not stupid.
What is it now? Duncan questioned irritatedly. He didn't blame them. If he was strong, no body will push him around. It was his fate, the fate of the weak.
So fierce, Erin mused. But weak she added, grinning.
Why did you call me back? Duncan asked again. His veins popping out of his head. He was already so angry, that he felt like killing everybody, and especially that bitch Erin.
Erin, Stared at Duncan blue eyes, not even replying to his Questions. she was sure that something changed in them right now. It seemed like his eyes wanted to pierce her soul. And she hated that feeling.
Are you okay? Eric asked his sister noticing a change in her demeanour.
Yes, am fine. She replied him.
She turned to Duncan, who was already tired of waiting. Where were you going she asked him.
Duncan has had enough, this people will have to get of my case he thought to himself. That's none of your business he replied her.
OH!! she mouthed. Surprised he still had the courage to talk back at her. But she preferred it like this any way. She wanted to break that confidence.
Your mouth is getting a bit to loud nowadays. She said to Duncan as she stood up from her chair, and approached him. She took predatory steps towards Duncan expecting him to cowar back in fear. But contrary to their expectations he stood his ground.
Duncan has been a constant victim of intimidation, and he was tired of it. he was tired of cowaring in fear, he was tired of being weak. Why can't he be like every other person? What did he do to the universe, to deserve this kind of life? And that's why he has decided to end it today. It's either Erin and her brother kills him or they get of his case. Either way it ends today. He was ready to die, yes! He was ready. Killing his mother was the worst thing that can happen to him in this life. Not even his own death can compare.
SLAP!!! Duncan received a heavy slap on his face. A slap that sent him flying.
*BAM!!* He crashed on the wall at the other side of the room. URRG. He groaned as he stood up from the ground.
Is that all you can do? He asked her. This surprised Erin, because a hit like this is all it takes to get him to give up
But today something is different, she noticed when she looked at him before. His eyes looked like sharp swords. Perhaps he is "awakening" she thought to her self. At this thought the desire to kill Duncan grew in her. She have done a lot of things to him. and letting him to Awaken, is like stabbing herself in the chest. So she won't let it.
She rushed to Duncan tree series of punches and kicks at him. She continued hitting him until she felt he was dead. She checked him and when she saw he was still breathing she started all over again.
(Duncan's point of view)
Erin rushed towards me and started throwing punches and kicks at me, I know her target was to kill me saw the gleam in her eyes.
*POW!* I vomited blooo missed with my organs. Maybe this was for the best. This was my fate, to die in the hands of my steps sister, with her brother watching.or maybe this is the fate of all the weak.
But just pray, Erin you and you brother should pray that I die for real, because if I survive this ordeal, I will look for power anyhow, and. Anywhere I can find it. And if I do find it. I will make you life a living hell. This was Duncan last thought before he fell into darkness.
