I’m Not Crazy; Just Hungry

” Hey! What are you watching? ” Blake asked Ethan who was so focused on watching the news about a certain office worker who was overworked that results him on committing suicide.

” Use your eyes before I dig them out. ” said Ethan.

” Yeah yeah, its just unusual that you watch TV, you usually sleep in your room and only wake up when its time to take a bath, did something happen? You look a little happy. . . ”

Blake sat next to Ethan and snatch one of the candy from his hand. He ripped the plastic wrapper and put the chocolate in his mouth.

” . . . If I tell you that what you just put in your mouth is- ”

” Dead persons meat? Yeah right, save your jokes for later ” Blake stopped him.

” No, but it is from a dead person, also, I never joke… ”

Blake spit out the candy to his hand and asked:

” Are you serious?! ” Blake glared at his brother whose giving him an emotionless look. Damn!, he look so serious!

Ethan point at the screen of the TV where the man who he killed last night have his picture located. Blake followed Ethans eyes and point finger before setting his gaze back to his brother. Blake sighed in relief.

” He requested me to kill him in exchange for the candies ” Ethan explained after pulling back his hand.

Blake who didn believe him put back the candy to his mouth and chew it on. He won believe him because the news said the guy committed suicide and not a victim of homicide.

” If you don want to share some to me, you couldve just said so, don be so shy. Even if what you said is true, you
e eating it so even if theres something inside the candy, you won die alone, Im with you ” Blake shrugged.

” Pfft, as expected of my little brother. ”

A smile appeared in his pale feature, making Blake speechless and frozen, he asked himself when was the last time he saw that sight. Ethan stood up and grab the backpack next to him after seeing his mother walk out from the bathroom.

” Im going to play. ” he said before walking towards the exit.

” Have a safe trip and be careful of snakes ” Clara said with a smile. She knew that Ethan is going to their small estate where he first met his first love because that is where the real nightmare began.

Ethan stopped, he didn tell her where hes going, but by the looks of it, hes found out.

”. . .I will ”

He left the mansion.

. . .

In a grassy land where he used to go everytime hes bored or just running away from chores, he saw that the grass is already so tall compared to when he was young.

He went inside the thick fence by cutting the wires quietly, he sat on top of the rocks that was blocking their lands and the others to watch the entrance of a certain house, waiting for his target to show itself.

. . .

A few minutes later and a bunch of big guys in black entered the house with suitcases in their hands, following behind them is the owner of the house who looks happy and excited.

”. . . ” Ethan grinned menacingly. To think you would bring a few friends of yours to accompany you to hell, how nice~ he thought. He clapped tree times but there are no sounds at all.

”Sir John ” he called in a low voice and a ghost appeared beside him.

«Y-youre the kid who helped me, right?!» John asked, surprisedly looking at him.

” Yeah. . . Were you about to go to heaven? ” Ethan asked even though he have the gist that hes with him for a certain time.

« I…do not know» John replied.

” Then thats good, can you be my eyes for a bit, Mister? ” Ethan requested.

«Of course!»

” Great, Please enter that house and tell me what you see and how many gas tanks are in there. ” he requested with an innocent face, and John the ghost did as he was told.

A few minutes of waiting for John, he finally came back with a report.

« That. . . they
e buying drugs from the. . .I think the owner of the house. In the back of the house, theres also a lot of. . .leaves that are used for. . . well, I think you
e still too young, as my saviour who saved me from my nightmares, Id advise you not to get involve with those guys. The gas tanks. . .theres a total of three»

” Alright, thats more than enough, you
e free to g- Hmm? ”

Ethan was about to set him free but John looks like hes about to ask something because hes looking at him with gleaming eyes of curiousity, since Ethan is quite sharp to notice ones expression, he asked:

” You want to know how I summoned you, is that right? ” Ethan asked and John nodded.

” My father used to tell me stories about a few beings who has a hellish flower tattoo on their chests, he said that if a person has it, they are born to be a killer, theres also a supernatural ability which they can summon the soul of the people(s) they have killed ”

«Then, are you a born killer?» John asked casually, though hes a little sorry, he thought its his fault for asking Ethan to kill him that awaken Ethan tp be a killer.

” I wonder. . . ” Ethan shrugged. ” Should I send you back now? ” he asked. John nodded.

” You are free to go. ” he said and cut off something, and all the black chains that are restraining John vanished into thin air, with that, Johns soul ascended to heaven with a graceful last smile on his tired and haggard face.

Ethan jumped off the blocking rocks and entered the house without second thought or plan.

. . .

Half a minute later, he left the house with a satisfied atmosphere surrounding him.

. . .

In front of the door of Hindrex mansion, Ethan was just about to open the door when. . .The door was opened for him.

” Welcome back! ”

Clara and Blake welcomed him with their hands crossed.

” What did you do? ”

The two smiled, those smile literally screams an impending danger.

” Our son ” Ethan answered with the same smile as them.

” Haa?! ” The two confusedly asked.
