The atmosphere was calm,until it wasn't. The light was flickering. The ceiling fan moving in a slow pace. Then, a glass shatters into pieces by hitting against the wall.
"You cheated on me! Again!"
Sadie's mom,the same woman that was watching the tv and wearing a dirty jumpsuit, yelled at her boyfriend. She had lost count of how many boyfriends and exes she had a long time ago.
Sadie was sitting on the couch, sobbing, hiding her face behind her hands. Blood dripping from her nose and falling on her skirt. Her older sister, Sage, she was the one who caused the bleeding nose,for no reason at all. Maybe there was a reason– she was bored. Sage was now standing in the corner of the messy kitchen, munching onto a three days old sandwich. A week had passed since Sadie was living with them, only a day in reality. Sadie was already tired. She couldn't figure out if she wanted to be closer to her family or forget about them forever.
Sadie always though getting her family back would make her life better. It wasn't possible before so she pretended like her family was still there. She was so hopeful about her life with her family,but maybe she forgot how her family was after being distant for so long.
Sadie wasn't the only one going
through family issues, there were more people like her...like, Harlen
Harlen's eyes slowly open as he gets up on his knees, he adjusts his vision and uses the collar of his shirt to wipe off the blood from his broken nose.
For a few seconds he stares at Haskiel's half eaten head, then back at the pieces of flesh laying on the ground. His expression was unreadable. Thoughts started swirling around his head. He had just lost his only family.
He wanted to cry out and scream but he was too exhausted at the same time. His head was spinning as his vision was constantly getting blurry. His hands were shaking.
After a few moments he finally comes to a conclusion
"I-I will... She's the reason all this happened! She's the reason we came here and this happened! Sadie...I will...end that bitch...no... I'll end everyone, EVERYONE IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS!"
He yells, he tries to give himself strength through those words. Strength to stand up again and get revenge for what happened to the apple of his eyes.
He was losing his own control, teeth gritting, jaw tight, a wildfire in his heart, burning tears in his eyes and heavy breaths.
A cursed flower, born from the corpse of a tormented girl, hides deep in the mountains. Many have searched, many have returned… but for those with pasts scarred by suffering, the hunt never ends. The flower knows their pain,twisting their regrets into the very weapon that will claim their lives.
