Chapter 6 The Bloody Birthday - Part 2

His eyes were completely widened and his voice was trembling.


He himself was cowering in fear just by looking at the fountain of blood.


His mom’s and dad’s necks were missing and the blood was gushing out from the cut part of the neck.


“Mom!!! Dad!!!”


“This... what... why? How?”


He didn’t even know what to tell right now and wasn’t aware of the situation at all.


He couldn’t take in what he was seeing. For a second he felt that this all was a nightmare but then again the wetness due to blood was clearly felt.


It was too real to be a dream and thus his fear only grew.


He ran and held both, his mom’s and dad’s body in his arms and could only see the blood flow.


He was completely drenched in blood right now and it’s thick scent was making him nauseous.


“How did this happen?”


He was confused because just a while ago they were singing for him and in a moment they were dead.


Basically they were killed brutally. Their heads were missing and were no where to be found even after Shiro looked here and there.


“Weird... too weird... I don’t know anymore...”


It felt as if his heart would burst at any moment.


It wasn’t that he actually hated his parents, it was just that he was a bit distant from them.


The happiest moment of his life had now turned into a bloody misery.


Blood kept flowing and it spread throughout the room’s floor.


The sofa as well as the cake which they had brought had some stains of the blood on them.


He was just crying and sobbing in fear but more than that he could hardly understand what had happened.


He was just staring at the sliced neck when suddenly he heard some noise.


‘Tap Tap’


It was the sound of someone walking towards him.


“W-who?”, he looked here and there but couldn’t find anyone.


Suddenly all the lights were switched off basically because of a blackout that resulted in the power cut of his house.


“Ahhhh!!!”, he screamed in fear when suddenly someone grabbed his mouth and slammed him against the wall.


‘Shoooo’


He heard a weird noise which was supposed to mean that he had to keep quiet.


But right now his body was shivering and his mind was unstable, he could hardly understand what the person meant.


“Hand over the dragon’s crystal...”


Shiro heard that from the weird person who had slammed him in the wall.


The voice was too deep which was essentially making him suffocate.


“Give it to me!”, he repeated but Shiro has no idea about it.


The man suddenly started to tighten the grip which was quite painful for Shiro.


Even his breathing has become heavy not only because of the grip, but also due to fear.


He wasn’t brave to begin with and if he was he could have fought against the bullies of his class.


Regardless, even though he was 18 years old now, his heart was that of a 12-14 year child.


He used to wear specs or glasses that had square frame and right now the same specs had been broken when he was slammed to the wall.


Only a single voice was coming from his heart and that was to spare him.


“Tsk...”


The man loosened his grip and and ultimately stopped grabbing Shiro.


Shiro fell on the floor the instant he left. The man then asked once again, “Where is the Dragon’s crystal!?”


“I... I don’t know...”, Shiro replied.


“I don’t want to hear any lies... tell me, where is the dragon’s crystal!”, the man seemed quite annoyed right now.


It seemed like he could clearly look at the surroundings maybe because of some magic, but Shiro failed to do that since he was just a normal human who didn’t even know the magic existed.


“What crystal...? I am telling you... I don’t know...”


Just as he had finished saying that, the summoned a sword and stabbed Shiro right away.


*cough*


“Wha-“


Shiro lowered his head only to find the sword inside him which was immediately pulled out by the man.


“Ack-“


Shiro fell on the ground while the blood started to gush out of him.


“Ack-“


It seemed like there was a hole made inside his stomach which he could easily feel.


Since he was already scared or frightened earlier, his blood pressure was quite high and thus the blood was exiting his body at a quite faster rate than normal.


‘I... I don’t want to die...’, he thought.


He didn’t have any strength to speak out loudly and his consciousness was also fading away.


The only thing that was in front of his eyes was his parents corpses.


His eyes were slowly turning to that of a dead’s Eyes.


“Tsk, my anger... I yet again killed! Joe how will I find the crystal?”, the man was now even more frustrated.


“But I’m sure that the crystal was given to him because of it wasn’t in the store and no one other than him visited there, then it couldn’t have gone elsewhere...”


“But why ain’t I able to feel its presence here?”, the man kept saying some words and was cussing as much as he could.


But those very words weren’t able to reach Shiro’s ears.


The only thing that he heard was - ‘It was futile to kill them.’


His body started to shake again but this time it wasn’t because of fear, it was because of anger.


His blood was literally boiling and his face was becoming red. The same way even more blood started to gush out and he was about to die.


‘No... I can’t die like this... revenge... I want revenge...’, was what he was thinking when suddenly he heard a voice.


‘Do you want to seek revenge?’


The boy was confused when he heard that but right now he was in no state to think anything.


“Y-yes...”


The man heard that too and he looked towards him.


“Oh? You are still alive?”, he smiled after thinking that.


‘Yes, I want revenge...’, Shiro said in his mind.


‘Then... then are you willing to...’


The man grabbed Shiro and lifted him up which only increased the pain.


“So boy, tell me, tell me where is the dragon’s crystal!!”


“...”
