“Come out,” I said, not in the mood to deal with pesks.

From behind a large boulder, a young teen boy slowly stepped out from the moonlit shadows of the large overhead trees. The boy bravely shielded the younger girl behind him while glaring at me.
‘HAhahahahaHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!” The girl was surprised at my unrestrained laughter and let her guard down but the boy still stood vigilant. I smirked.
“How cute. Protecting the little girl.” The girl stiffened at my words. Her scared eyes were looking for reassurance in the young boy while the boy strengthens his grip on her.
I continued to taunt them, “siblings?”
I saw the boy flinch. Ah, this was getting to fun. “Aww… An older brother protecting his younger sister… Did something happen? Parents dead? Enemies chasing you? Bidding your time…?”
The boy, making sure I was alone, rushed up to me and as he was about to slash my throat with a very interesting looking dagger, I blocked his arm and broke his wrist. With fast reflexes he tried a turn kick only to get his knees broken by me. Our little spar went on until I broke three of his ribs. At the end of our session, I stepped on his head as I had shattered both his knees and made him kneel. Under my boots, I stared at his youthful face all cut and bruised with his eyes crying blood. His stare was vicious, full of anger at me and worry for the little girl frozen behind him.
I took his dagger with ease. Just as he was about to say anything I kicked him over and stepped on his throat to prevent any noise. As I was examining the dagger I saw the little girl trying to stab my heart with her slow weak arms and inaccurate aiming. I lazily blocked her arm, then grabbed her and threw her on top of her slowly dying brother. Before she could scream and cry I stepped on her throat.
The girl was delicate, unlike the young boy. I couldn’t step on her too much without actually choking her but her soft chuckled sobs were getting on my nerves. I wondered to myself, why should I keep her alive? I began to crush her tiny throat slowly, watching her forgo her ugly sobbing to gasp for air. I watched as she tried to look back at her brother under her, hoping he would help her, that he would be able to save her. And I hated it. I had lost all joy in playing with them. Just when I had decided to kill her, I heard a soft raspy pleading voice.

“I’m… sorry…”
I glanced at him. I knew he was talking to me but I didn’t know what he was apologizing for. However, I was not interested in knowing. I was about to crush the little girl’s throat when I heard, “I’m… yours…”
Lifting my foot off of the girl’s throat and hearing her gasp for breath so loudly made me madly regret it. However, before I could shut her up myself, the young boy quickly sat up and covered her mouth. I glared at him as he struggled to speak.
“Rylan…” he grunted. He then pointed to the girl whose mouth he still covered, “Ingline.”
I stared at the both of them with an eyebrow raised. “So?” I waited.
“Train us. Help us. We’ll be loyal,” Rylan spoke with conviction. Looking in his eyes was a mistake.
“Your loyalty is not worth my help,” I said curtly and promptly left. I felt my mind darken as I ran. I felt it, my mind slowly collapsing.

I ran and ran hoping to outrun the madness before it consumes me. I ran and ran and soon ran off the cliff and into the waterfall. As I hit the freezing cold water I became numb. Fighting the currents, I swam to land. The moment I jumped out the bone chilling wind blew and I shivered. It was nothing more than a physiological response. My mind has long gone numb. I didn’t feel cold. I didn’t feel anything.
However, as the numbness of the cold started to wear off, the sound of the waterfall once again made their way into my ears. Suddenly everything little sound sounded grating, irritating, maddening. The sound of the waterfall, the sound of the flowing currents, the sound of the wind rustling the leaves – they all made me mad. Uncontrollably frustrated. Why? I don’t know. I needed something. I needed more.

I felt myself getting agitated. I didn’t know what to do. So I went crazy. I screamed at the waterfall to shut up. At the edge of the river I smashed the currents and tried to slash it with a dagger. My rage didn’t cease until I had noticed a stream of blood flowing with the currents. I stopped, OH SHIT. Please don’t cut yourself. I may be insane but not masochistic.
I slowly looked at my dagger. To my pleasant surprise, there was a fish stuck there. I quickly got out of the river, built a fire, cleaned the fish, roasted it, and ate it. After eating my fill, I gave myself a full body check. Seeing no damage done, I went back “home”.

The moment I entered the cabin, I felt my body burn. I took a deep breath and went to change clothes. From a dark black skin tight jumpsuit to baby pink comfy pjs, I went and sat on the comfy black couch. I stared at the TV in front of me debating if I wanted to turn it on. The love hate relationship with sound was tearing me apart.
I looked around the room. It was a very luxurious cabin. Wide open space with beautiful wooden furniture atop soft bearskin rugs and a warmly lit fireplace. It was the kind of space you’d see in holiday movies where families would go on a family getaway. The only difference between them and me was that I was by myself in this huge space.
Letting myself sink into loneliness, I suddenly heard a loud crash. I immediately put myself on high alert but I heard the doorbell ring. Following was a small voice, “Please… Help…”
I don’t remember ever hearing that little girl speak but I knew it was her. With an amused smile I opened the door to see her eyes widen in shock and terror. She was struggling to hold up her older brother who has long since passed out.
I waited for her to speak but she kept opening and closing her mouth like a goldfish. I quickly ran out of patience and slammed the door in her face. I was tired. I decided to just go to sleep.
However, the next morning I woke up to extreme pounding on the door. Irritated, I tore open the door and screamed, “WHAT!”
It was still the little girl with tears in her eyes. “Please help… My brother isn’t waking up. He also has a fever. I don’t know what to do…”
“Oh? Why should I?” With that, I slammed the door shut. But as I turned there was once again that obnoxious sound. Unable to stand it anymore, I unsheathed the sword right beside the door. I opened the door and stabbed the sword through the girl. I thought I could finally get some peace and quiet but that thought was soon destroyed. As I was about to withdraw my sword, she held onto it tightly. In between coughing up blood, she struggled to say, “Please… I’ll do anything…”
Ahhh… it’ s back. This feeling of irritation.
“There’s nothing you could possibly do for me,” I retorted as I withdrew my sword. I watched as she fell to the ground, trying to hold onto her wound.
Oh… her head… is at the perfect height for decapitation! WONDERFUL!
I was about to cleaning slice off her head when I heard, “NERAL.”
I turned to look at the young boy. “Oh?”
“Save us. We’ll give you NERAL.”
“HAHAHAHA~ I told you, you have nothing that I want. NERAL? If I truly wanted them I would’ve gotten them already~”
“What about NERAL’s treasure.”
“Not interested.”
“PLEASE! ANYTHI –“
“You know, the only reason you’re still able to talk is because I’m letting you live. But just because I’m letting you live doesn’t mean that I want you alive. By the way, I think your precious little sister is running out of blood. Good luck with that. MUAH~”
However, before I could fully shut the door, we were surrounded. About 40 men in black garments appeared.
“HAHAHAHAHAHA! WE FINALLY FOUND YOU RYLAN! FINALLY, WE CAN PUT AN END TO THIS CHASE. SAY YOUR LAST –”
Before he could finish his sentence I had already sliced his head off. The rest of the men were surprised but being well trained, they immediately shot towards me. Using the headless man’s body as a shield, I took the headless man’s gun and shot towards the rest of them. Once I ran out of bullets, I took the nearest corpse to use as a shield as well as stole his gun to use. The pattern repeated until all 40 men were dead.
Ahhh… This… I should just get rid of them. I’m beyond irritated.
I took my sword and headed towards the siblings ready to just finish them for bringing such trouble to me. But of course, before I could strike it down, I heard, “Shadow. We want to be shadows.”
“ARGHHH!!!!!!” I angrily dragged them both inside with me. Locking the door behind me, I went to the staircase and inserted a metal card through a crack on the wooden hand rail. Slowly, the stairs inverted, descending downwards into a brightly lit hallway. I threw both of them down the stairs, blood trailing behind them. Pressing the nearby intercom, I said “Fresh blood. Come and get it before it dies.” And without another care I closed the stairs and made my way to the kitchen for breakfast.

Poems
While in English exists only one word for it, the ancient Greeks with their aim for self-understanding and knowledge found eight different varieties of love that we might all experience at some point:1. Eros (Erotic love) - represents the idea of sexual passion and desire;2. Philia (Affectionate love) - friendship, love between equals;3. Storge (Familial love) - love between close family members;4. Ludus (Playful love) - the early stages of falling in love;5. Mania (Obsessive love) - an imbalance between eros and ludus;6. Pragma (Enduring love) - love that has matured and developed over time;7. Philautia (Self love) - self-love in its healthiest form;8. Agape (Selfless love) - the highest and most radical type of love.(Unless stated otherwise, everything except the art belongs to me.)
