Chapter 1 What's wrong...Brother?

''Happy birthday to you! Happy birthday to you!''

A young man looked down at the knife in his hands, in the reflection of the knife he could see a toned body, light caramel skin with short black hair and dark brown eyes staring back at him, in those eyes he could see a trace of sadness buried deep inside. 

''Happy birthday to you!''

He heard the same words spoken to him again, making his heart clench in overwhelming emotions, he can't describe how happy he is feeling at this moment.

Drip. Drip. 

Yet… 

''Happy- Brother?'' A concerned voice of a girl was heard.

The room suddenly became eerily silent, the tension in the room suddenly went from a joyful one to an apprehensive one, it was like everyone in the room suddenly became afraid to make a noise in the room.

'Why can I still feel the sadness inside?'

A memory flashed in the young man's head as he held the kitchen knife.

''Ahh.'' A young boy's scream of pain was heard.

From the scream you can tell it's from a young boy, no older than 6 years of age. Three children of the same age were standing around a boy that's laying down on the ground, the boy laying on the ground has light caramel skin, short black hair and dark brown eyes. 

The young boy on the ground was holding his nose with one hand as crimson blood trailed down, as the boy fell on some dirt with both hands the hand he used to cover his nose is now covered in blood and dirt causing him to look even more pitiful. 

Despite the current situation the look in the young boy's eyes are not full of anger or hatred like one would expect, instead his eyes look almost lost, it's like the boy can see something everyone else cannot, the only traceable thing in the young boy's eyes is sadness. 

One of the three young boys surrounding the boy on the floor stepped forward, it is obvious he is the leader of the group.

The one that stepped forwards had blond hair and blue eyes, he looked down at the boy on the ground covering his nose, looking into them eyes all he could see was sadness he furrowed his brows in anger, the uncomfortable feeling in his heart came back again making him remember things he wished to forget, this just made him even more angry so he clenched his fist that was dripping with blood from the young boy's nose he had just punched. 

He lifted his fist up in the air again getting ready to punch him, a smirk came to his lips and that anger in his heart was replaced with joy and excitement, the joy and excitement of punching someone in the face that made him remember those things he so wished he could forget, all because of the look in his eyes. 'Why do your eyes always look so sad?' he thought to himself as he readied himself to throw another punch.

''Oi! Just what do you think you are doing?'' The scream of a young girl the same age as the rest was heard. 

The young boy with blonde hair and blue eyes flinched, his heart that was filled with excitement suddenly turned into one of worry, his clenched fist loosened and his body trembled in fear, his legs felt like they were full of jelly, tearing his eyes away from the boy on the floor he looked up at the two accomplices with him, he could see their whole bodies shaking, the fear in their eyes was contagious as in the reflection on their eyes he could see the object of their fear. 

A small petite young girl around the age of 6, she had golden hair that was tied up into a ponytail, her green eyes were currently clouded with anger. The young boy with blond hair and blue eyes couldn't take it anymore, so he ran.

He ran to the opposite side of the garden and hid behind a tree with his friends.. The grass was long and unkempt, it's clearly been a long time since it has been cut, at one side of the garden there's a tree, this tree is in fact a cherry blossom tree.

''It's okay, now that I'm here no one can hurt you anymore.'' The young girl said in a caring tone, as she bent down, her small soft hand was stretched out, just waiting for someone to grab it, the hand gave off the feeling of gentleness making one never want to hurt that hand if possible.

''Salia.'' The young man inadvertently muttered out loud to himself as he looked at the knife in his hands, he could see his tear filled eyes in the reflection. He wiped the tears from his eyes using his free other hand.

''Kaile are you alright?'' A voice full of love and affection but with a hint of concern was directed at him. 

Kaile looked up from the knife, in front of him on the table was a chocolate with ice covering on top of a birthday cake, written onto the icing was happy 20th birthday. The 20 candles on the cake were already blown out but the smoke from the candles is still there, showing they were only just blown out not even 10 seconds ago. 

Looking up from the cake that's placed on a dark blue spotted marble covered table top, his eyes looked onto the only two other people in the Kitching.

The one that's been speaking is Sophia, she is 20 years old, her hair is ruby red and shines like a crystal when the sun hits it, her eyes are a dazzling golden colour that can intimidate anyone that dares to look too long. She's currently only wearing her pajamas, her pajamas consist of a one piece that's bright pink in colour, the style of the one piece is that of a cute bear, if a man was to see her dressed like this, it would only insight the man's instinct to protect her while gently holding her in his strong arms. 

Sophia is currently standing up at the opposite side of the square island that's in the middle of the Kitching, her hands are squeezed tightly together and placed on top of her chest, her eyes are filled with worry and doubt. 

Standing next to Sophia's right is Emma, the mother of Sophia and the adopted mother to Kaile.

Emma is currently 46 years old but looks like she is still in her thirties, the perfect age for any man that has a milf fetish, her hair is as red as a ruby and shines like one too but, not as much as Sophia's does, it appears that her age has lessened the quality of her hair, if she was standing alone one would not realise this however, now that she's standing next to her daughter that is a perfect replica of herself, it's really apparent. Her eyes still shine just as bright as in her youth if not more, it's clear that between Sophia or Emma, Emma's eyes definitely look more dazzling as they carry a hidden ambition, an ambition that's just fighting to break out from its cage if ever given the chance.

''Darling everything is fine. I'm sure you will see her again one day if fate allows it.'' Emma said in a motherly tone, no other hidden emotion could be heard from her tone other than the one of a concerned but loving mother to her son. 

Kaile looked down again at the cake, a dejected smile plastered all over his face. 

''I don't understand why you even still think about someone that's clearly already forgotten about you, brother.'' Sophia said in a low but audible voice, in which after she lowered her head, her eyes looked at the stuffy pink bear feet before she let out a sigh then shook her head left and right,.

Kaile didn't see this otherwise his heart would have clenched in anxiety, his mother Emma on the other hand saw everything clearly, a wry smile was on her face which caused her serene eyes to falter, her normally hidden ambition rise to the surface showing a flame that would cause any political leader to have trouble eating and sleeping if their right hand man was caught with such eyes, it would cause them to wonder if they will be swallowed up if they allowed them to stay by their side.

Kaile shook his head to get rid of the thoughts and focused on cutting the cake.

Kaile cut the cake and handed the pieces to his mother and sister on a plate, in which they all sat around the Island eating the cake and talking.

The light outside the window had long since gone out, the stars in the night sky shone down on the world creating a beautiful view. 

After eating the cake Kaile got up, the Kitching is dimly lit so he can't see much, but he can still make his way towards the dishwasher to place his plate there.

''I'm going to sleep.'' Kaile said as he started to walk out of the kitchen but stopped and turned around to look at his mom. 

''Are you going onto the rooftop again today?'' Emma asked with a raised eyebrow.

''Yes?'' Kaile was confused as to why he was being asked something obvious, Kaile likes to go out onto the rooftop before going to bed, looking up into the stars helps him to clear his mind of all worries and lessens the feeling of that last little bit of a hint of sadness deep in his heart.

''Just make sure you don't fall asleep again… You will catch a cold if you fall asleep outside like that. If you don't listen i will lock the window, do you understand?'' Emma's stern tone echoed in Kaile's ears, a flashback of him being woken up by his sister in the morning after he fell asleep replayed in his head, he distinctly remembers pleading for her to not tell their mother about this. 

He glanced to the left of Emma, Sophia was sitting down on the chair, her chin rested on the marble top with her arms outstretched on the marble top, her head was covered by the pink bear hoodie, in her soft hands was a phone, in which she was using to watch cat videos. 

After Emma's words, Sophia glanced at the shocked face of Kaile, the playful smirk was unable to be hidden and appeared on her pink lips.

Noticing this Kaile's shocked face quickly disappeared and was replaced by a small smile, seeing this Sophia's playful smirk was all but wiped out, and a look of pleading appeared in her golden eyes, Kaile's small smile didn't revoke seeing this and instead got deeper, noticing this Sophia had no choice but to resort to the big guns, her eyes turned from pleased to one of helplessness, then to one of despair, as her eyes gradually became wetter and wetter until finally, a single tear drop fell down the left side of her beautiful face.

''Fine.'' Kaile said as he relented, his small smile disappeared as he turned around and headed to the rooftop like he always does before sleep, but little did Kaile know that tonight won't be like any other night, and tonight will be the night that his life. No! Not just his life, but the life of everyone on this blue planet changes forever.
