Chapter 218: A Look Into Past

Night and day.....

Everything just felt the same for him after that day.

23rd November 2018, 5 years 8 months 12 days..

It was a fine pleasant morning and everything was going on as usual.

His mother's loveable smile as she prepared breakfast while his father's hearty laughter as he read the newspaper while humming a pleasant song sneaking glances at his mother but soon everything changes.

That was the day when my parents were brutally killed right in front of me. The murderer didn't kill them swiftly.

CLING!

The sound of the doorbell rang in quick succession and his father with a grumpy expression put down the paper and went to the entrance.

Leon, who was playing with a play car, looked at the entrance door and saw his father speaking to a few dark figures.

"MotherI am hungry."

"Just two minutes.."

As he waited for his mom to finish cooking, a piercing scream.

"Leon, Rina.....Run....."

A hoarse voice escaped from the entrance.

The voice hadn't fallen when Rina with a panicked expression threw the cooking utensils rang hurriedly and picked up Leon.

"MomWhat's happened"Leon didn't even finish his sentence as his eyes got stuck as when Rina pulled him up, a scene reflected in his eyes making his eyes wide open.

Before Leon's wide-opened eyes, first, a figure held his father and another stabbed his father back, then at his eyeball and as he screamed, they dug a knife into her throat.

His father, despite the pain, tried to get hold of the killers while his mother attempted to escape from the back door but a large metallic bat flying in the air hit her head, almost cracking her skull.

.....

[Leon POV]

My vision became dark for a moment.

We fell on the ground with a thud and I was thrown to the side of the kitchen.

I hit the wooden shelves of the kitchen loudly which made me groan in pain but just as I tried to wake my whole body faltered when I saw my mother's face.

From behind she was pulled with such force that her dress was torn off while a knife was lodged over the shoulder but despite this she extended her.Though in deep pain there was a smile.

A smile so sweet and loving that almost tore my heart apart with that smile.

Casting a smile, my mother gave me those final words.

"Leon, survive and live happily."

"Now runnnn!"

"MOM!"

I screamed and tried to catch her hand, but I was kicked brutally by a man in the stomach to the point that I coughed blood.

"Fuck off kid."

My body got dragged onto the floor and I curled up holding my stomach.

"AHHHHH!".

"KYAKAKAK!"

After that, everything was a blur.

My mind wasn't able to process the after-effects anymore. My eyes were wide open but inside I was already unconscious.

After vandalizing my parents and stabbing them multiple times to death the murderer with a sickening smile walked toward me extending their knife to kill but before they could do that sirens started ringing and the sound of gunshot echoed.

........

"AHHHHHH!"

The next thing I remember was that I woke up in the hospital terrified. Every time I opened my eyes, sinister scenes, and nightmares would haunt me.

In moments of panic, I would move my hands to hold my mother's hands who would always accompany me to sleep and caress my head when I had a nightmare but.....

This time there was no one....

Except for me alone in bed, there was none.

The feelings of despair, agony, and loneliness crawled upon me.

I don't know what to do and I don't know how I can live alone.

Why did you leave me alive?

WhyWhy didn't you kill me?

Why do I have to suffer this suffocating feeling and nightmare?

Should I just die?

But how can I die?

Should I jump off the building?

But isn't that too painful

So what should I do?

I don't know anything except for the fact that I wanted

revenge.

If not that, I would have lost myself and become a dead soul.

I have already lost my voice by screaming again. My hands have

been painted red after getting repeated tranquilizers.

By the 8th day when I was able to recover a bit and walked

around. Except for doctors and nurses, I haven't seen anyone in

the ward and for some reason their reactions were cold and

their eyes were filled with disgust.

And didn't take long to find the reason behind all this.

With trembling steps, I walked through the hospital corridor and

saw a huge crowd before the TV.

For some reason, it piqued his interest, and I walked ahead to

take a look and saw two news anchors relaying some important

news but the moment I saw the names and pictures flashing on

the screen, my legs became weak.

[Aaron and Rina Martin. The two top researchers of Genetic

Co...had not only stolen a medical serum and sold it to

neighboring countries but they had done numerous human

experiments resulting in the death of hundreds of people. The

number of lives taken by their unregulated human experiments

killed almost 1000. The people experimented upon are either

kidnapped or trafficked illegally.]

[According to the sources, they have been developed by a

potent drug after numerous human experiments. Though it

might be incredibly helpful, it has very very bad side effects.]

[Last Friday, the family of victims formed a group and entered

the place to kill the deadly couple who used drugs to fight them

back. Despite this, they emerged victorious and killed the

couple bringing justice to the hundreds of dead families. In the

court trial after the respective evidence, they were sentenced

to 15 years of prison but for their miraculous deeds in exposing

such a huge thing and doing social service, many people as well

government stepped in and reduced the sentence by years.]

[March of Justice had been going on and thousands of people

have gathered in the Twine City street burning down the two

evil researcher spirits while lighting candles for the innocent

souls harmed by this evil inhumane couple.]

"Thank God! Justice is served."

"Haaaa!What did I say?"

"Justice always wins?"

"I wish these two couples were burned in hell and went through

the cruelest and heinous torture

[While many people are grieving for the dead, many are happy

for the death of the couple.]

Leon's eyes were glued to the television displaying the news.

His body became frigid and his heart beat violently.

All the hairs on his body stood and his legs shivered.

"NOOOOO!They are innocent."

With a maddening roar, he ran towards the television screen but

stumbling he fell on the floor however, it didn't stop him from

confronting others.

"LIE! LIE!LiE!"

"All of this is a lie. My parents were good guys. They can never

do this." I screamed with my hoarse voice and looked hoping for

some encouragement.

I can feel my tears cracking and tearing up but I didn't stop

screaming.

A deep silence reigned in the entire hallway for a few moments

and just as I thought my words made some effect, my whole

body tingled.

All I saw were eyes filled with venom and disgust as if they were

looking at some kind of filth.

"TSK!"

"So he is that criminal child."

"What a bastard! I am sure he would become a huge criminal

and murder innocents."

"We should get rid of him?"
