*Jake's Pov*

Light had clouded my vision.

Am I dead?

No...

I felt my hands reach for my body. It was warm.

I wasn't dead. Thankfully.

But once I started coming too. I looked around my surroundings.

Me: Oh My God...

I was in some kind of torture room. A musty scent hit my nostrils as the rotting smell of dead bodies lingered over the room.

God, I think I'm gonna vomit.

How long...

How long have they been doing this...to all these people?

Wait a minute...?

I looked around for two missing people that were supposed to be with me!

Me: Melody?! Tommy?! Where are you guys?!

I got no response.

They're not in here with me!

No...NO!

Where have they taken them?! What are they going to do to us?! Are they...going to do with Melody told me?!

Fuck...?!

How am I going to get out of this room.

I immediately ran for the door and tried banging on it.

Me: Hey! Let me out! You assholes! Where is Melody and Tommy?! Release them! Hey! Can anyone hear me?!

???: So you're finally awake.

I recognized that voice. My eyes went wide in shock at who suddenly made an appearance in the shadows.

Me: D-Dudley?

Dudley: In the flesh~!

Me: Oh Thank God! You're alright! Quick! Find a key and get me out of here! We have to get my siblings!

Dudley: Ehhh...I don't think so?

The moment he said that, I felt the hope inside immediately dropped as I looked in him in confusion...yet horror.

Me: What?

Dudley: Sorry dude. But I'm not here to save you...because in fact...

An sadistic grin came on his face.

Dudley: You guys are going to die here~!

Me: Dudley...what are you...?

Then, I begin to put two and two together from the edge of his words. No...I don't believe it...are you telling me that...

Me: Y-You work for them?

Dudley: Ha! That's right! Finally, you hatch a brain from that stupid ass of yours~! And here...I always thought you were truly the dumb sibling.

Me: H-How long?

Dudley: From the very beginning. Besides, you nor your siblings didn't even suspect what I was actually doing. Instead, I was relying information to the cultists about your whereabouts...ever since the day you got here.

My heart scorched a little at his betrayal. So all this time...he was using us?!

Me: *Broken* Dudley...Why?

I thought we were cool man...

Dudley: Why? Because I was paid to do it. Besides Jake...you must understand what kind of shit I would do for money. Even if it means pretending to be on your side. So now that we finally have you guys. Tonight will be your last night in this town ALIVE~!

I felt anger swelling up inside me. I wish I could just reach from these bars of the cell and beat the living shit out of him!

Me: Where are Melody and Tommy?! What did you do to them?!

Dudley let out a mocking laugh which provoked me even more. This bastard thinks of this shit is fucking funny.

Dudley: Like OMG Jake. Calm down. Don't get your knickers in a twist. They're fine for now. The occultists haven't touched them...yet. But I can assure you...you'll see them again...when your final moments are nothing but agonizing torture. Like what these guys did to the other girl.

Me: What...other girl...Wait...

My eyes went wide in horror at what he meant.

Me: Are you talking about Tessa?! What did they do to her?!

Dudley: Ha. That's for me to know and for you to find out. All I can say...She's never going to be same again~! Such a shame...her beauty was tarnished~!

That psycho dick-headed bastard...

Me: Why...Why are you doing this to us...?

It was a good question to which he needed to answer.

Dudley: Like I said before. I did it for the money. Do you know how hard it is nowadays trying to find a job. Luckily, the cultist are pretty nice to give me loads of it in exchange for a sacrifice. Which, of course...They sacrifices are you, your siblings, Tessa, and so many unwanted visitors coming to this town.

Me: What about the Oasis Syndrome?

Dudley: Ha! Do you really all that crap that Indian Bastard told ya? Oasis Syndrome don't exist. It's just the people are batshit crazy believing a rumor about an unknown tribe coming back to kill them. What fools they are! I'm only going along with their plan so I get money.

So that was it. It was all for the money. That's why he was going all this. He never cared about the safety of others. He faked all that...just for the fun of it?

Dudley: It's such a shame that things gonna end this way, huh Jake...? It really sucks that your parents never truly did cared about you because you were born an Albino but they weren't. Strangest thing is how it goes for your siblings as well.

Shut up.

Dudley: Admit it. Throughout your life, no one truly did cared about you. Your parents neglected you all your life! Why you think they abandoned you guys in the first place!

Shut up!

Dudley: All her life, Melody never had an actual friend. Because who knows...maybe even someone like Tessa was using her! You didn't even bother to console her. Instead. You laughed and mocked her.

SHUT UP!

Dudley: Little Tommy always got bullied by others because of that stupid teddy bear. Ya know, there were even times I wanted to kill the little shit myself. Always whiny and crying. It's no wonder you guys couldn't stand him~! Instead of helping Tommy like a good older brother should. You became the "Big Brother Bully".

SHUT UP! SHUT UP! SHUT UP!

Dudley: Everyone hated you guys. You have no one but yourselves. So in attempt to heal yourselves, you took it out on your each other! You're parents hate you! All those friends you claimed you hang out with are fake! So does your own siblings, Jake! Melody is an outcast and Tommy is a victim of bullying. Meanwhile, you live your life shrouded in lies living a fake world you believe you are at the top that doesn't even exist~! You're an horrible excuse for a son and older brother~!

Me: SHUUUUUUUUUUT UPPPPPPPP!!!

Dudley: Oh wow...Look at this. You finally snapped. Showing your true colors, huh? Your no different from me Jake. You secretly wanted to get rid of your siblings back then because you saw them both as hinderance and an nuisance. So why care about them now? You never did before...

Me:.....

Dudley: Welp. I'm going to go collect my money and leave this town tonight. Have fun dying and oh...no hard feelings Jake~!

He then gave an mocking laughter as he left...

I sat there in silence watching him go.

Me:.....

Why?

Why???

I didn't ask for this...?

I didn't ask to be born an Albino? I didn't ask to be treated like some tool. I didn't...I didn't...

I...just wanted to be loved.

I...just....I just....

Melody...?

Tommy...?

Am I really...an horrible excuse for an older brother?

.....

I...I....What should I do...?

I sat there not even bother to move at all until I heard my door opened up. The cultists came inside.

Cultist: Get up.

....

I didn't bother.

*PUNCH*

Cultist: GET UP ALREADY!

So one of them grabbed and started pulling me into another room. Unable to feel nor do anything in my state of shock. I just let them...

I knew they were taking me...

To the room where they have their victims tortured...

Looks like...this was the end of the road...

Are we really...going to die here?
