Chapter 17


I sit motionless and chained to a wall by my hands in a cell. It's as if the moss is the thing that's keeping the bricks together. Ever since we came to Shore-meadow, I was dragged through the streets and the rich ass civilians spat and cursed at me which I happily returned. In three days I'll be having my trial which I'll probably just swear through. It's not like anyone I know will be seeing it, I attempt to shrug in vain, I sigh. I wouldn't have got caught if I hadn't made those needless bonds. At the end of the day I'm in this mess because I didn't kill em. I could've lived a happy life killing people for fun and selling weapons with my uncle if I hadn't even gone to that stupid school. I wonder if Dylan and Eden will continue to go to school, probably not. I hope Wolf's okay. I hope all of them are ok.

Since I'm giving my life to save them all. They better not do something stupid like try and save me or commit suicide or whatever. They should just live a peaceful life free of worries since I secured their safety and they're strong enough to fight the gang leaders and druggies and that. I just realised-

"What are you thinking about?" Autumn looks at me sceptically, I glare at the man

"That's none of your business." I growl,

"Wow not only did you name yourself after an animal you act like one." He laughs at my position. I used to be a godly figure and now I've been degraded less than a criminal, I sigh and look down counting the amount of cracks I can see in the bricks. 1.. 2.. 3.. 4.. 5.. the bastard makes me lose count and punches me, I glare daggers at his smirking face. "I ought to tame you, shouldn't I? well they do say discipline is the best teacher." He grins,

"Times must be getting to you seeing as how no one says that old man." I spit some blood by his snow white boots, he takes a fistful of my dark hair and bashes my head against the wall I'm cuffed to, "B-bastard." I breath out and let the darkness consume me once again.

I yawn and squint my eyes open, I look around only to find that I'm still in the cell and still not dead yet. Oh the joys of waiting to be executed. It's totally not boring. And it totally doesn't suck that my biological father or the owner of the sperm cell that makes up half of me is going to be the death of me after I swore vengeance. If I've been knocked out doesn't that mean the day after tomorrow will be my trial? Oh for fucks sake, I'm really contemplating on whether or not I should kill myself. I mean it wouldn't be that hard to bite my tongue off. Actually I'll just do that the day before my execution, the sight of my dead body will please people enough. I don't have to do much since I already look amazing. Maybe I should just ridicule myself in front of the court to make them doubt that I'm a killer and they'll leave me alone because I would be reacting like a retard *cough* Autumn *cough* would. I smirk, that doesn't sound too bad, but- I frown. Death isn't that bad, there's no point in prolonging the inevitable, if I don't die in this place I'll just die in some other place.

"OI GUARD!" I call out to the guard that standing in front of my cell, he doesn't look back, "GUAARD!" I call out again. He grunts but still doesn't look at me. I smirk so he's not easily distracted, what if I annoy him? "Guard. Guard. Gawd. Gard. Glaud. Gu-ard. Ga-re you kidding me. Oh my guard. Guard have mercy. Guard what did you do? Gard. Gawd. Gaw. Guard." Finally, he looks back, "excuse me Mr. Guard but I-" the guard cuts me off,

"Let me guess you need to go to the toilet?" he raises an eyebrow,

"What no!" I splutter, he sighs,

"then what do you want?" he asks bored, I think I annoyed him too much. Well blame all the little kids I ended up beating up when I was younger because they would do that to me,

"I forgot." He clicks his tongue and looks away from me, my eyes widen, "Dude talk to meeee." I plead, I'm so bored,

"I'm not supposed to." He states,

"Eh why?" I ask, if he answers he would be talking to me. therefore, I'll just ask a crap tonna questions, he doesn't answer me. Well there goes that plan. I sigh and continue to count the cracks in the bricks, 1..2..3..4..5..6..7....

"why do you suddenly look like you're on halogens?" the guard looks at me, and I raise an eyebrow,

"Honey I don't do that shit." I say sassily and continue counting the cracks..8..9..

"YOSH IM BACK!" Autumn strolls in I roll my eyes at his fake face, the real troubles are going to happen after the trial since he'll be watching me 24/7 I'm guessing since he is the one who caught me and he'll make sure that he does so that he can have his fun with me. Autumn engages a conversation with 'oh my guard' and I glare holes into the guards back. That betrayer how could he? Ok I'll stop with the dumb act. It annoys me just as much as it annoys you. But seriously?! I thoughts he was the kind of guard that didn't talk what so ever, damn he made me feel slightly special as well..

That's a lie. I should really stop with all this sarcasm and dense shit.

"So how are you then? Does your head still hurt?" the bastard smiles in a sickly sweet manner that makes me want to throw up grey rainbows on his face,

"since you bashed my head in the wall and knocked me out I realised something we had in common." He raises an eyebrow, oh I actually lured him in. ok so remember when I said I would stop with the dent shit yeah I think I might continue because well if I can't kill people I'll annoy the crap outta em until they want to kill me.

"Well.." he gestures for me to talk, I turn my head and face the side,

"You wouldn't be interested. Anyways, why do I have the honour of seeing you two days in a row?" I query,

"Answer my question first." He states authority booming in his words,

"'Well...' isn't a question. It doesn't start with one of the five W's or how. On the contrary mine did. Meaning my question was asked first and you have to answer to me." He narrows his light grey eyes at me and slaps me across the face,

"I won't repeat myself again, answer my question." He spits, I narrow my eyes at his towering form

"What. Question." Slaps me across the face again, so hard that it's sure to leave a mark,

"Stop acting smart and tell me; what do we have in common?" he grits his teeth, I smirk

"Ya see that's a question. Plus, why do you even care so much. I'm just a poor boy from Devil's Spine and the only son of a whore, it's not like a noble with a high-status care about my opinion, right?" watching Autumn get angry is actually quite fun, he pulls my hair so that my ear is lined with his thin lips,

"I am your father and you will do as you are told otherwise you will be punished." He whispers dangerously low in my ear and nibbles on the cartilage with his teeth then pulls away smirking. I can't tell if my face is red from anger, disgust, embarrassment or just not red. I glare at him and he walks off back to the guard to talk about more bullshit, a couple times I notice that they both throw glances at me. Idiots. The world is full of them yet it never ceases to amaze me of their growing stupidity. Let's see if I can annoy them both, I smirk inwardly

"99 bottles of beer on the wall, 99 bottles of beer. Take one down and pass it around, 98 bottles of beer on the wall. 98 bottles of beer on the wall, 98 bottles of beer. Take one down and pass it around, 97 bottles of beer on the wall. 97 bottles of beer on the wall, 97 bottles of beer. Take one down and pass it around, 96 bottles of beer on the wall. 96 bottles of beer on the wall, 96 bottles of beer. Take one down and pass it arou-" I get slapped across the face, Autumn socks me across the jaw to stop singing out of tune. Truth is I can sing but why the hell should he be blessed with my singing,

"Do us a favour and shut the hell up." I hang my head, so I'll get beat up to the point I'm wavering out of life and death but will never be beaten into death. How pathetic. "Are you going to tell me now?" he raises an eyebrow,

"Tell you what?" I ask stifling my laughter, and doing a good job at it as well.

"What do we have in common?" Autumn says dangerously low, I laugh childishly. It's as if just being here in his presence has made me lose the little sanity I had left. I can't stand the presence of this man. He needs to die. I need to die. Just his image disgusts me. Sure he's good looking and well-built but the inside is darker and more dead than mine. He's heartless. Whereas I have a dark heart. There's a difference.

"Our dashing good looks and crazy ass sexuality." His eyes widen, that's probably the first time I complimented him out loud and the only time, "oh wait sorry I'm not a lolicon, does that disappoint you, sir?" I smirk and deliberately spit out the word sir, mark my words you bastard I will be your demise. You will die by my hand. We both smile menacingly at each other,

"Just you'll be the one to fall and I'll conquer this world single-handedly." We grit our teeth at each other and turn our faces in opposite directions. Damn that sync, that's what happen when a negative side of a magnet meets another negative side. This time I'm alive in these cells talking to Autumn or not talking at all are going to feel like centuries. I sigh. The day after tomorrow is the day of my trial, one can only hope that I don't have to be stalked by Autumn 24/7 and have to follow him around like a lost puppy... no they wouldn't give me that much freedom. And I'm pretty sure they'll only give me less than a week to live. At least I wouldn't have to wait long for my death, I smile at the thought.

I wonder what shade of red my blood will be when I get decapitated.

I wonder how big of a mess they'll make of my body.

Or maybe they'll burn me in a striking red flame.

I want a beautiful red death.

Just like mum's.
