Recollection

-Lupo's POV-

I can never truly understand what goes through his head. I turn to see a young man that exudes blood lust as if it's a coat. From time to time, I question myself should we capture him...but the thought of it immediately escape my mind. This child..if he wanted to he could kill us in seconds. The power to cause explosion out of random crap, the power to heal and repair. For a moment...I thought he might be Jesus or something.

The timing however doesn't make sense. After the outbreak, Four Eyes did inform me that they will be changes to some organisms. But this child...something tells me it wasn't the outbreak that gave him his powers.

"Letting that woman live...I hope it doesn't bite us in our ass."

I look at him waiting for a response..he looks towards me smiling.

"She won't talk...the government will soon nuke this place anyways. Killing everything, so all we need to do now is just getting to the Takagi Estate, get the group and fly out of this shit hole with your plane."

"One thing at a time huh?"

I walk with Arthur down the hallway, and we finally reach his room...ah right I'll be sleeping with him..at first I thought he was joking, but he seem adamant on it. Whatever, I'll teach him something wonderful then.

When we enter his room, the girl on the bed left the room. I guess she didn't want to overstayed her welcome. I see Arthur pointing towards the bathroom signifying that I should take a bath. I sigh and went inside. As I enter I see a beautiful bath, hmmm after spending the entire day fighting I've been smell like shit.

I washed myself and after a few minutes Arthur enters the bath as well. I wonder does seeing me naked turns him on?...I look down and see no reaction whatsoever.

He came to my side offering that he would wash my back. I nod and carry on washing my hair. Huh, he's pretty good, not too rough nor gentle. After scrubbing my back, I return the favor and wash his back, at first he said he's fine but then after looking at my breast he simply nod and went with it.

*Sound of water splashing*

Arthur and I got into the bath I hug him from behind as he tries to relax.

"I feel that my time in the bath must have women involved."

He said while chuckling, other women?

"Oh other women? someone else beside your mother?"

Suddenly he turns quiet...did I struck a nerve. Now that I think about it..where are his parents?

"Hey do you mind me asking?"

"Sure, what's on your mind."

"Where are your parents?...did they-"

Arthur raise his head slightly and looks at me then he lay his back on my breast.

"My parents are dead...before all this started."

"I see? did they knew you had these powers?"

"My powers..no, but they knew something different about me."

"Oh and what's that?"

"They knew they had raised a monster."

Hearing this...his tone sounded sad as he spoke about his past.

"I'm sorry I shouldn't have ask, as a solider I should have realize that there's something you just don't ask."

"Oh it's fine..really."

Seeing him like this reminds me of my children back home, damn...I miss them, maybe after this I should take a break and spend time with them.

After we took our shower, we immediately head to bed. I start to remove the towel on my body and as I got naked I lay on the bed looking at Arthur...after a few minutes of gazing he came to me. Then I was caught off guard.

He hugs me. At first I thought this is some kind of foreplay, but no..he simply hugs me and went to sleep....eh?

Seeing him like this...sleeping peaceful made him look like a normal child. I brush his head gently and start humming a song I usually hum for my children back home.

-Arthur's POV-

"Arthur..Arthur...Wake up! You'll be late for school!"

I slowly open my eyes and see a familiar ceiling...this..is this my old bedroom. I quickly got up to see my old room back in the old world.

"How?...how is this possible?...Solomon!"

I try talking to Solomon repeatedly calling out his name...but there's no respond. I place my hand on my face trying to make sense of it all...wait. That voice...it can't be, mother?

I got out of my bed and quickly look at my mirror..I see my old self but...as a 14 year old. What the hell is going on here. Then I heard a knock on my door, a beautiful women in her late 30s enter my room, she has long blond hair which is tied up. She currently wearing her normal wear but have an apron on her.....this woman..is my mother.

"Arthur I told you to come down otherwise you'll be-..oh you're awake..well hurry up your breakfast will be cold.."

"Mom.."

"Yes dear? what's wrong?"

My mother quickly came to my side holding my head. She wipes the tears on my face.

"Are you sick? should we go to the clinic, damn I should have paid more attention when you came back late last night?"

I start laughing as I recall how doting she was...yup. She's definitely my mom.

"I'm fine mom I just woke up so these tears means nothing. Umm, what's for breakfast?"

"What? did you forget? I've made your favorite sausages and eggs..god knows why you love it when I cook you that, I mean that's all you ever eat."

"But mom, no one can beat your cooking."

I said it while grinning causing her to puff up her cheeks and pull my cheeks. Ouch, I forgot how painful it was.

"Enough of that get dress and come downstairs, your father wants to talk to you about enrolling high school."

"High school huh.."

"Also can you call your sister to come downstairs as well..honestly the two of you are so much alike."

She laughs as she left the room...I on the other hand felt my heart dropped...My sister...Sarah.

After wearing my school uniform I left my room and look around...I see a familiar hallway. My house is a two story house, we're staying in a peaceful neighborhood. I look to my left to see the door to my sister room..as I walk towards it..my heart beats faster than normal, my breathing became slightly erratic. I recall back that tragic night...damn, is she still alive?

I stop right in front of her door....I took a deep breath and just as I about to knock. The door quickly open I bump into someone.

"Baby brother? What are you doing here?"

I look up to see her...my older sister...tears starts to stream down my cheek...I remember now. I remember your face..your voice.

"Arthur!? Why are you crying?"

Sarah hugs me while rubbing my head. I then hug her tightly.

"You're alive."

Hearing this Sarah knock my head gently.

"You idiot of course I'm alive. What's with you? you are acting strangely."

I wipe my tears and shook my head.

"No...I'm just tired that's all. I had a bad dream."

"I see, well mom's waiting for us so let's head down."

She closes the door behind her and walk downstairs...I suddenly felt sick and quickly went to the bathroom. I starts to throw up...I guess seeing my family again was too much for me to take. I wash my face to calm myself.

As I got out of the bathroom I see the door to my bedroom...slightly open by itself. Then I felt an eerie feeling I thought I had forgotten. I slowly walks towards my room...I can hear my family chatter downstairs, I enter my bedroom and see no one is inside....strange.

I head towards the window which overlook the backyard...Then I see it..I see a large black dog looking at me, it's just sitting there...damn you, I thought I got away from you.

"Father."

(The Omen - The Altar)

I then heard a loud slam behind me, I quickly turn to see the door closes and my room starts to shake as if there's an earthquake. The shake cause me to drop on my knee, I look to my right to see a body under my bed. After seeing it, the room stop shaking.

*WhisperWhisperWhisper*

The room was eerily quite and all I could hear are my heartbeats. I then hear whispers coming from under my bed...I see a man covered in shadow lying there.....the head of the body slowly turns to see me...It opens its' eyes revealing its' bright red eyes and smile evilly. I got to get out of here. As I try to leave, a hand emerges from under the bed grabbing my ankle. It's trying to pull me under the bed.

I struggles and kick the hand in order for it to let go...The room slowly turns dark as if night has fallen. The whispers grew louder and louder and eventually I have trouble breathing.....I try to catch my breath my struggling...Then I look up to see multiple eyes all around me gazing with cold eyes.

*WhisperWhisperWhisper*

"Fuck! Fuck! Fuck!...LET GO!"

Hands made of shadows slowly creep it's way to me....and eventually...I was consumed by it's darkness. My last thoughts were that of my sister.

"Sarah...."
