The Choices We Make Chapter 4

Sky sprawled out on his bed, one arm covering his eyes which were glistening with the tear threatening to fall. The image of a black haired girl, bloody and on the ground, burned like fire in his mind. The sight of Dea's cuts reminded him of the price she paid for him, and how broken she would forever be.

A knock came at the door.

"Sky?" his father called from the other side.

"I heard that Deamon, had one of her episodes... want to talk?"

Sky stayed silent for a moment.

"Yeah, a talk would be good." Sky said.

Sky's father opened the door slowly, and sat on the edge of his bed.

"Sky, you know Dea was unstable before, and the indecent was just a catalyst," His father said.

"I know, but if I hadn't been taken then Dea would be fine, she wouldn't be stuck on those meds, she wouldn't be in pain," Sky responded bitterly.

"We can't  be sure of that, something else may have also worked just as well, the fact is she doesn't regret what she did, and her family has adapted to her new needs, just as we have." his father said.

"Come on, dinner's ready, and your mother should be home soon."

Sky's father got up, and lingered in the doorway a moment.

"I love you sky, and your mother does to, never forget that."

"I almost forgot mom's getting a new job, and dad's finally taking up his passion of art, so he can still work at home."

Sky let the phantom of a smile touch his lips. Getting up, Sky headed down satires to eat.


Damin groaned as he sat up rubbing his head.

"Great, another nightmare," he grimaced.

Damin looked around the room, but didn't spot Deamon in the room, Luna was still asleep. He looked at the clock, and let out a snort, it was 4:45 in the morning.

"Knowing Dea, she's been up longer than that, hopefully she got some sleep."

The siblings didn't have to be up yet until 5.

"Thankfully today's Friday, counciling day... 10 minutes more of sleep won't kill me."

10 minuts latter Damin finally got yp and began waking Luna.

"Come on, Dea should be starting breakfast by now, she was talking about making pancakes,"

Lune shot up, and almost hit Damin.

"Pancakes?!" Damin chuckled.

"Best way to wake you, panca-"

"Fire!!"

Damin let out an exasperated sigh.

"To damn early." he muttered.

"Deamon, no playing with fire! Just finish cooking!"

"Yes Damin."


"So the circumference is 3.14 times half of 20?" Ty asked scratching his head.

"Yes, that's the start." Husky said.

"One other question, where's Kermit?"

The sound of falling books answered the question.

"That came from history,"

When they got there, Kermit was collecting 3 or 4 fallen books.

"Oh you clumsy uke you." Ty said smiling and shacking his head.

"Okay, it's official, Dea has infected you with anime."

"Hey, has not!"

the two bickered as the third put the fallen books back.

"Yo, get back here!"

All three stopped what they were doing.

"And what if I don't want to?"

"smart talking eh? Jut back so we can pound that mouth into the dirt!"

"Shit, that came from outside!" Husky said, running to the window.

A boy with dark brownish-red hair stared back at two larger and older boys with an expression of boredom.

"You little piece of-"

"Tisk tisk, we are in front of the library and on school ground, back off." the boy said calmly.

The larger teen with black hair flushed with anger.

"You got a death wish? we are-"

"I would be asking that same, but it seems you don't know who I am, and who I'm related to."

"F**^ you!"

"Don't you already do that with your friend?"

The other boy blushed a deep scarlet, his "friend" got even more angry. The black haired teen swung his right fist at the boy, who calmly moved his head.

"I'm in a bad mood, and you just had to get the adrenalin running." the red-brown haired boy said, ash colored eyes lowered into a death glare.

The black haired teen seemed unfazed, and rushed at the boy. They boy dodged and landed a clean blow to the others shoulder.The teen fell to the ground.

"I really should kill you, or better yet, let Deamon do it."

The boy's lips curled into a smaller version of the Cheshire cat's grin. He kicked his fallen foe in the gut once, twice, he face was that is a mad man's.

"There's a reason why we are the more feared in the school!"
