"Ayenna, why are you here? Come on! Let's play with mom and dad," my twin said smiling as he forced me to stand up.
I just smiled sweetly at her. "Just go, Arrow, I'm tired now."
I had to lie, everyday, because I didn't want to see the awkwardness on my parents' faces anymore.
"But I want to play with you, Ayenna, please join us?" he begged.
I just smiled and shook my head. "Arrow, I'm really tired. I can't play anymore."
She pouted her lips mischievously. "You're not even doing anything, Ayenna, how can you get tired?"
I was shaken and laughed at his meanness.
"All right, let's play, they're waiting for you inside the palace." I gestured her to leave but she just shook her head.
"You're always alone, my twin. Why? Aren't we supposed to play together with mom and dad? We are twins, Ayenna," he asked frowning.
I realized that she's really younger than me, she didn't even know the things that were going on around her.
"But I don't want to play with them, Arrow, I'll play with you, but not with them. So go ahead, I'll leave first." I patted her head as I walked away from her.
But I stopped when he suddenly spoke.
"Why won't you play with them? Is it because of how the way they treat you, Ayenna?"
I turned to him and smiled bitterly. "There are some things that you won't be able to understand, Arrow, when we grow up you will also understand."
"What if I never had the chance to grow up with you? I want to understand now, Ayenna." She sounds so sincere, and it scares me.
I never want her to hate mom and dad, because I am not selfish to take away my twin's happiness.
"Arrow, you're still--"
"Do you want me to hate mom and dad too? You're on my side, because you're my twin, Ayenna. So tell me, please?" she said with her pleading voice.
I came over to hug him tightly. Even if I wanted to cry on his shoulder I knew I couldn't do that.
I don't want her to feel the agony I'm feeling, even if she asked me, I'll never tell her.
I couldn't help but cry as I watched the photo of the two of us with my twin when we were kids.
My twin, Arrow, I am so sorry if I forget about you. I didn't mean to, my twin.
I tightly wrapped my arms around the photo I was holding as I remembered the days we were still together.
She's the only one who's always there for me, aside from my grandfather. He was one of the people I could run to whenever I was hurt.
Even though he doesn't know why I'm crying, he doesn't ask, because he wants me to be comfortable.
But I am such a mess, I forgot about her, I forgot my own twin who did nothing but make me feel that everyone is equal.
She was there. I watched her while those bastards are molesting her.
I was there, watching him struggle.
"No! No! Stop! Arrow!" I cried and begged when I saw that the men in black were starting to tie my twin.
She just looked at me and smiled bitterly. Like she's telling me that everything's alright.
Like everything's gonna be fine.
"You idiots! Let him go! I feel sorry for you!" I struggled to get away from the armed men holding me.
I have done all the fighting I could to save my twin, but I am just a miserable kid.
I witnessed how they hurt my twin in front of me. I witnessed how they removed her clothes slowly.
I tightly closed my eyes because I didn't want to witness how they hurt my brother.
My eyes are shut. But I can hear my twin's scream because of pain. And I almost died from it.
With my eyes closed, I still struggled and shouted for help.
But nothing has changed, I have no fight, I have done nothing to save my twin.
I was stunned when there was a sudden silence. I saw my twin covered with a large blanket while stunned in emptiness.
She's just 5 years old, how did those demons manage to do this to her ?!
Crying I crawled closer to her and caressed her face.
"A-Arrow," I said pitifully as I watched the tears dripping from his eyes.
"A-Ayenna. I-It's done, right? The demons are gone, right?"
That question made me cry even more.
I hugged her tightly as I caressed her face. "Forgive me, Arrow, w-I didn't do anything. I'm so worthless, I'm so worthless, Arrow."
She smiled at me sweetly as if relieving me. But I will never be relieved of what I saw and what happened to him.
"Ayenna, y-you're the best twin, for me. And even in my s-second life, I'll choose you to be my twin again." I shook my head repeatedly and wiped the tears from her cheek.
"No, Arrow, don't s-say that. You'll survive, w-we'll do everything to escape again, okay? Froze will be back here, he'll ask for help," I convinced her.
He closed his eyes tightly as his own pain subsided.
"They ruined me, Ayenna, my stomach aches. My whole b-body aches, and I'm tired of dealing with it anymore," he said emphatically.
I gasped with that. No, she can't be tired. We must escape and survive together!
I cringed when I heard a loud bang.
I cried even more when I saw my twin hit in the stomach.
"No, Arrow, no," I promised shaking.
"Ayenna, r-run."
"My sister, please stay alive, okay?" I begged him while covering his stomach.
She shook her head. "I'm b-bleeding too much. I can't h-handle the pain anymore."
Crying I shook her hand and pressed my hand even harder. "No, my twin. You'll live, we'll still be together."
He smiled sweetly at me and kissed my forehead. "Sorry for the pranks I've done to you ... I'm s-so proud that you're my twin."
I sobbed as he slowly released me. I hugged him tightly and kissed his forehead.
"No! Don't say that! Twins are supposed to live together, right? Don't die yet, my twin. I'm begging you," I begged her with my pleading voice.
She smiled at me like she's saying goodbye. And before I knew it, she pushed me away causing her to be hit by the bullet.
Trembling, I sat down as I stared blankly at my twin's body.
How I wanted to kill those stupid jerks but I am just five years old, no matter how brave I am I have no opponent.
I chose to run away. Because I don't want to die with him.
I chose to run because I wanted to avenge my twin on everyone who hurt him.
And starting today, this is the only day I can remember and go back to.
"You! W-What the hell are you up to ?!" angry shout of the man in front of me.
I just looked at him directly on his eyes.
"Come on, Rederic, don't tell me you don't remember these beautiful eyes?" I said while smirking.
I toyed with the knife I was holding in my hand while looking at him.
He swallowed a few times while trying to keep up with his gaze.
"W-What else do you need ?! You killed my members already! That's enough for you to want to happen!" he shouted.
My vision got even darker.
"That would never be enough, Rederic. I need more, and I just need one more. That's why I put you last so that your death will be more thrilling, isn't it?" I playfully grinned at him as I slowly slide the knife on his right cheek.
I could hear how he cried out in pain. I almost pierced his cheek with the excessive pressure of what I did.
I like to see him in pain, because it makes me crave for more.
"There's nothing like that pain my twin felt at the hands of you demons, Rederic. You ruined my sister's body like she's a freaking doll," I cried as I forced her to look me in the eyes.
I can see fear in his eyes.
"That fear you're feeling right now. Arrow felt that too, but why did you still continue that indecency ?! She's j-just, j-just 5 years old. How can she handle everything you've done ?! Begging I was with you but you did not listen to me! " I slashed his face again shouting at him.
I wiped the splattered blood on my cheek and stared at him again.
"Rederic, I'm sorry if I have to do this. I have no right to put the law in my own hands. But if I don't act, who will act for the people who have been your victims?" I asked him.
"The government? The law? The supreme court? Aside from being biased and its poor investigation, what do you think they can do? When you pay them, they won't shut up, the mouths of the people above will remain silent. As long as you , indulging in the money you devour, in the money you devour each other.Follow-looking money will remain submissive as we victims enslave your own greed.Even if we try to protest and voice out everything we wanted to say, it's useless after all, while the people at the top are making themselves imperial, nothing will happen. " I lifted his face only to see how guilty and scared he is.
"So while it's still early, I'm finishing it, so you don't have to fall prey." I stabbed his chest with so much force.
I could clearly see the squint in his eyes. But I pressed the knife down to completely cut his chest and abdomen.
"I'll open your body, Rederic, because you can't open your eyes."
I stabbed him a few more times in the neck before I got bored.
I smiled bitterly as I changed clothes.
I killed everyone who hurt my twin. Nothing left now. I know Arrow is so proud at me right now.
Is she?
When I got in the car smiling I opened the folder on the side. I took Arrow's picture inside it.
"Hi, twin. It's been 2 years since I started killing them one by one, look at me right now, my mission is over," I said smiling.
I'm so satisfied that I had the chance to smile again. I was just smiling and crying in front of him.
"I am so happy to tell this good news to mom and dad, I know they will be happy with me when I tell the truth."
I embraced her picture before driving all the way to the palace.
I sighed as I remembered how I had killed those men.
They deserve it anyway.
I thought Rederic was the last one, but I thought wrong.
I stopped when my cellphone rang. I opened the message that Gunner sent me.
"Please check these files, I found out about the truth. Go back to the palace immediately."
Even though my heart was roaring loudly I chose to open the message he sent first.
And that's the thing that brought my world down.
"No, no," I said shaking my head as I gripped the steering wheel tightly.
I felt anger well up in my heart as I forced myself to imprison what I saw.
Those two, they planned all of these ?!
I don't know what drove me to turn my own car in front of a precipice.
I wiped the tears from my cheeks but they were just replaced by new ones.
These eyes. You are the reason for all of Arrow's suffering. Arrow suffered because of me, because of these eyes.
I must die too. I deserve to die. I deserve it.
Until that day I almost died, she was there. My twin was there to guide me and stop me, but I never listened.
"Ayenna, don't do it." I turned to my side when I heard my twin's voice.
I cried even more as I watched him. "A-Arrow?"
"Ayenna, don't do this," she said as she shook her head slightly.
"H-Hey, you're real. I am right, you are such a beautiful angel, my twin," I cried with a smile on my face.
She shook her head repeatedly. "Don't, Ayenna, please don't kill yourself."
"W-Why? I want to be with you," I said.
"You can't die, my twin, please stop."
I just smiled sweetly before slowing the car down until it continued down the precipice.
I smiled sweetly at him. "We'll meet soon, Arrow, I'll hug you when I die. I hope I'll be an angel like you."
That's the last thing I said. Before I lost everything.
