You Kissed My Soul

Chapter 25

Aderyn Pov

I found myself in darkness. I was surrounded by pitch black balls and I couldn’t quite recognize where I

was. I was just lost and trapped. No matter where I looked I found myself lost and alone.

Though I was alone I found myself in peace. Somehow I do not want to get out of this place. As if,

someone read my thoughts the place where I was still standing began to change and I found myself

going somewhere. I looked around when the place changed completely and I found myself in my..

past?

I looked around to see a family taking a family picture outside of a house while a little version of me

was fighting with my elder brother Ryan for sitting with my Mom.

That was the best memory I had.

Flashback 15 years old Aderyn.

Everything was just going perfect. I got good grades from my School. I loved my younger sister Nancy

who was only Three years old and I was pampered and loved by my older brother Ryan who 21 years

old.

My family was perfect. Everything was perfect.

“Honey Sleep now. It was just a dream sweetheart” My mom cooed and tried to relax me with her

soothing words.

“Mom you stay here till I sleep” I whined as I held her thigh and she smiled down at me and sat at the

edge of the bed.

I just woke up shouting and panting. I saw a dream where I found myself alone. Whoever I called, they

all faded away in my dream. I hated living alone and the fact that I was alone made me panicked.

“Of course Sweetheart! I’m always here for you” she patted my cheeks and hummed a lullaby which

she hummed for Nancy.

“Mom?” I asked now sounding sleepy.

“When is Ryan going to return back?” I asked sleepily.

“He will be back soon baby” my Mom said and hummed again. Soon I slipped into darkness.

I groaned waking up, hearing some sounds. Someone was shouting.

What was going on?

I got up from the bed and made my way to the door. It was still dark outside. I checked my watch to find

its only four in the morning.

Turning the door knob, I got out of my room and slowly made my way towards the staircase.

“What are you doing here Ryan?” I peeped a little to see what was going on.

I found Ryan standing near the sofa with a hardened expression looking at Dad who was talking while

Mom was sobbing sitting on the sofa.

Ryan looked different, he had some facial hair and he looked muscular.

It had been a year since I last saw Ryan. Mom told me that he joined some job and he is not going to

be back soon.

I was so excited seeing him that I was ready to jump the staircase and run to him but his next words

stopped me from doing so.

“Just come with me to the Agency and I will leave” he spoke coldly to Dad.

“I told you I have left all that and I don’t want to do anything with the Agency and you how dare come

here after you left your family, us all for all-” my Dad was cut off by him who looked beyond angry now

“This is not my Family. You all are not my family” he screamed.

My eyes widened hearing this. What is wrong with him?

“After Killing my parents you adopted me thinking that I will be your son and you will remorse what you

did to me but you were so wrong. The agency told me everything. So now, you better stop this

nonsense” he hissed his eyes were bloodshot red.

“Ryan I am really sorry for what I did to your parents but it was my work. The agency told you that I

killed them then why didn’t you ask What was the reason for me of killing them?” my Dad spoke his

voice low regretfully.

“The Agency gave me the order to kill them. It was all there work not mine. This is the reason why I left

the Agency. It is no good for us Ryan try to understand” my Dad tried to touch Ryan but he jerked away

and glared at Dad.

“I don’t know all this. I only know that you” he pointed a finger towards my Dad “were the one who killed

my real parents”.

“Did we never loved you? Was we torturing you that you turned so easily against us?” my Mom spoke

for the first time sobbing.

“Just come to me to the Agency. You can’t leave the Agency” Ryan hissed at Dad ignoring mom.

“No. I am not going back anywhere” my Dad spoke and I made my way downstairs.

“Then prepare to die” I stopped on my tracks near the window of the stairs when I heard Ryan speaking

those words.

“W-What? You will kill me?” My Dad spoke dumbstruck.

“Yes. I have to. That’s my work and the Agency told me to do so” he spoke icily.

“I can’t believe I called you my Son. I was so prou-” my Dad stopped his voice trembling probably

because he was hurt.

“I am not going anywhere and you” my Dad spoke angrily “Get out of my house”.

“I warned you” I heard Ryan taking a sigh and the front door closing with a bang. He was gone.

I was so shocked hearing this. First of all I found Ryan wasn’t my brother. Top to that Dad killed

someone. Dad was a murderer?

Thirdly, Dad worked for some Agency? But what Agency? I thought he was a Boxing Instructor.

Unknowingly I found my cheeks wet. I was really hurt but at the same time disappointed for keeping me

in dark.

I took a step down and was fully in front of the window and I looked outside to find everything dark.

“I can’t believe he is against us. His own family” I heard my Mom crying.

“Calm down honey it was all my fault. I shouldn’t have adopted him” my Dad spoke slowly.

“I loved him” my Mom sounded so broken.

“Me too” my Dad uttered

“Hey! What is this?” I heard my mom’s curious voice.

“Wher- Oh no don’t touch i-” I couldn’t hear anything anymore as I heard a loud ear piercing scream

and a blast and soon found myself forcefully breaking through the window glasses and flying out of the

house and landing on the ground. I looked up to see flames of fire coming out of my house. I started to

feel pain everywhere and I was losing my senses.

What is going on?

I tried to see my hand but I felt immense pain when I did so. I heard sounds of some people and soon I

lost my senses.

What is going on?

I woke up to hear something beeping. Where am I?

I felt pain everywhere in my body and I could hardly open my eyes.

“Mom?” I heard my own voice

“Dad?” I winced in pain and tears began to roll down my cheeks because of the pain.

Fluttering my eyes open, I looked around to find myself in a hospital room. I looked towards my left to

find IV and machines which were attached to my body. My hand was plastered and there was

something on my neck which made me uncomfortable in turning my neck. My other hand was

bandaged while my legs were bandaged too.

What happened to me?

I winced in pain when I tried to sit. My body was like not responding to me. I marked the cuts on my

arms and my skin.

“Wat-Water” I groaned searching for water.

“Here” I heard a feminine voice speaking and I was given a glass of water. I couldn’t take it as I felt pain

and as if the person understood this, she reached the glass to my mouth and I gulped down the water

in one go.

“Are you feeling better now?” She asked again and I hummed in response. I tried to look up and found Content held by NôvelDrama.Org.

a lady dressed in a nurse uniform smiling kindly at me.

“What happened? Why am I here?” I asked desperately wanting to know.

“I think you must be tired now why don’t you take some rest?” She offered and though I didn’t wanted

to but my body gave up on me and I hummed in response. She helped me and as soon as I hit the

pillow I slipped back to slumber with a blank mind.

When I came back to my senses again, I fluttered my eyes open and sat up on the hospital bed. The

beeping of the machine was now annoying me.

“Mom?” I called her

“Dad!” I called again feeling irritated when no one came.

“Sweetie you are awake” I heard a voice and looked up to find the nurse coming through the door

towards me.

“What happened and why am I here?” I asked as I felt a shooting pain on my limbs and I winced in pain

when I tried to move.

“Relax sweetie” she tried to touch me.

“No tell me first, why am I here?” I asked again desperately.

“You have a broken forearm sweetie don’t move so much” she avoided my question.

“Are you going to tell me?” I snapped

She sighed and nodded “I will tell you everything but before that you have to promise me that you will

be strong and you will listen everything till the end without panicking” she told me and I reluctantly

nodded.

“There was a Fire in your house. People found you lying outside of the house with broken glasses. That

thought that you must have flied out of the glass during the fire” she told me and then only I began to

remember everything.

Last time, I heard my mom and dad shouting. I found them downstairs fitting with Ryan. Ryan was

there. I found that he wasn’t my real brother. He was adopted. He came back to take Dad to some

Agency. He warned to kill dad. Dad killed his parents. Ryan left our house warning us. Mom crying.

Dad was sad. I was standing near the window on the staircase. I overheard everything. Then a blast

and I was lying outside.

As my mind began to register everything I began to panic feeling my heart rate increasing second by

second.

“Mom and Dad?” I asked slowly and looked at her desperately for an answer which would erase away

all my bad thoughts.

She looked at me painfully and sadly as she shooked her head negatively and that was all needed for

me to break down. I cried and screamed realizing what just happened and I could no longer meet my

parents. I thrashed around when she tried to hold me. I cried louder and screamed feeling immense

pain in my body.

I was alone?

Forever?

Ryan, my Brother was the one who did this?

He killed my Mom and Dad?

Why?

All these questions rang into my mind as I began to feel my heartache of losing my family. I was an

orphan now. Why is all this happening with me?

What did I do?

What am I going to do now?
