- Leyce, are you good man?
- Huh?? I had a weird dream...
- Bro it's the middle of the day, we just finished school? What kind of drugs are you on?
- Hmph.. I forgot now...
- He's not denying it?
- Ayo did you actually do drugs?!
- OF COURSE NOT, I MEANT I FORGOT THE DREAM.
- My man is high for sure.
- Nope, I don't smoke you guys know that.
- We are just kidding haha. Okay, then cya tomorrow everyone.
- Cya boys!
- Yeah, bye.
What was that about...
...
- How was it in school Leyce?
- Good mom.
- I'm glad. What would you like for dinner? I was thinking of making you an - why are crying sweetie??
- Huh... I'm crying? Why am I crying?
It feels as if I didn't see my mom in years... I feel so happy yet so empty right now... Like as if an part of me is missing...
- I'm home.
- Oh dear, welcome back! How was work?
- As always. Oh Leyce, you came already?
- F.. Father?
- Yeah, what's wrong?
- But... That can't be...
Both of parents stood up and went towards Leyce.
- Sweetie what's wrong?
- Leyce do you hear us? Get a hold of yourself!
- No... He.. But... You are... My father died... Years ago... How is this....
- Leyce?!
- What are you talking about?
- M...
So many things going through his head, as his own parents are approaching him. Until, right before they touched him...
- MOVE AWAY FROM ME!!
- But Leyce!
- Son what's wrong?!
- I'm forgetting something the whole day... And it's not my father's death. I'll never forget that hell. And all the pain and suffering you caused to me and mom!
- Are you sick? Did you get food poisoning?
- Leyce let me explain!
- THERE'S NOTHING TO EXPLAIN! YOU GOT INVOLVED WITH DRUGS, POLICE WAS ONTO YOU AND DUE TO THE MONEY YOU OWED WHICH YOU COULDN'T GET, YOU WERE POWERLESS SO YOU DECIDED TO VENT ANGER AND RESENTMENT ON US!!! I WAS ONLY 5 AT THE TIME! BUT I REMEMBER EVERY SINGLE MOMENT CRYSTALY! YOU'RE NOT A FATHER, YOU'RE NOT EVEN A HUMAN BEING! MOVE AWAY FROM ME!
Leyce's father grabbed him by the neck and lifted him in the air.
- Darling please don't do this!
He punched Leyce's mother with his other hand as well.
- YOU SON.. OF A... BITCH
Leyce was suffocating and was struggling to talk.
- Let's see how long can you survive without BREATHING? YES, HOW DO YOU LIKE THAT YOU DAMN KID!
- Please.. Stop it! - Leyce's mother was trying to talk through tears.
- SHUT YOUR MOUTH YOU UGLY WHORE! I'LL KILL YOU BOTH!
Kill... Both? And this smell... It smells horribly bad. As if something is burning. Stove is left on. But this smell, it's way worse than a burning pan... It smells as bad as some sort of poison... Poison?
Life flashed before him. He saw everything in a single moment.
That's right. The memories were always there. I remember it clearly now... And I won't die here!
Leyce opened his eyes and grabbed his father by neck. With enormous strength he broke the neck with his bare hands. Leyce's father was long dead, yet it was real. As if he really broke someone's neck... Or maybe even he did. On the other side, two of them were holding each other by neck. Staring at each other.
Miran, with now broken leck was looking at Leyce's single eye. Leyce only had one eye open now, his blue eye.
Dropping him down, Leyce pushed his father on the floor...
- NO MATTER WHO IT IS, NEVER AGAIN WILL I LET PEOPLE AROUND ME SUFFER. AS LONG AS I CAN MOVE MY HANDS, AS LONG AS I CAN MOVE MY LEGS AND AS LONG AS I CAN BREATHE, I'LL KEEP ON FIGHTING... UNTIL MY LAST DYING BREATH!
Raising his hand, as if he was holding the lighting, on the other side he was holding his sword - upside down with tip turned towards Miran laying on the floor.
And like that, sword charged with Lighting and filled with anger, with a fast punch/slash Lighting emerged from the sky sealing Miran's fate and murdering him on spot leaving nothing behind.
He was breathing hard. Even if it wasn't really his father, Leyce was devastated. Sitting on floor, in pile of blood looking at his own reflection.
- Get a hold of yourself. It's over now.
- Why... Why... Why did you save me... Kayra...?
