Chapter 1
--------
walking through the empty halls, i see his face again, the one that haunts me. though i could tell you the exact detail of his face right from the heavily creased forehead to his sharp angular jawline the moment i woke up i would forget all those things and just left with ..... emptiness.
A hard smack hit me mid chest and my eyes snapped open.
"wake up douche!" a shrill voice said, "we're here." I looked out the window of the auudi to see a small, old looking house that seemed like it was about to collapse at any moment. Stepping out the car i noticed a gate around the side and followed it while everyone els stood around talking. What a boring bunch of oldies they are. at the side of the house i could now clearly see a garden, and quite a big one too, bigger than the last place, I thought, pushing open the gate and walking onto the soft grass of the garden. It was rather beautifull in a twisted kind of way, there were a few trees at the back all black with nothing but moss and ivy growing on them. The wind whistled through the remaining leaves they had left and an eary feeling creeped over me. Then something silver caught my eye and to the left of me hidden by a gathering of shrubs was a small pond, which was reflecting the moon brightly. It was stunning. I walked over until I saw the familer emptiness where my figur should be, instead the water swirld and misted over as if it was trying to cover something that was long gone.
"Kurt!" I heard someone yell. I inwardly sighed and made my way back to the front of the house.
"what!" i snapped at Tomeka, who was purposely trying to annoy me today. Hmph!
"is that a way to speek to your soon to be mother?!" she asked, feighning hurt.
"we'd have to be family for you to be my mother!" I glared brushing past her.
"But Kurt, this is your family now, my dear boy." LeRoy annouced stepping out of the car with an armfull of bags. (mainly Tomeka's, my guess) I snorted stepping past them both to pick up my own bag and heading for the house. "one messed up family this is then." I mutter to myself as I enter the building. Inside it was beautifull! a perfect contrast between light and dark. the halls were covered in lush carpet and hung above the fireplace was the oil painting I had only seen once before in LeRoys old study, it was an old victorian painting of his parents both showing off their perfectly sharped teeth, much like the ones in my mouth now.
I starred at it for a while before I was almost knocked off my feet by something flying past my legs. I looked up to see wagging little tail hidding behind the sofa.
"Rags! you've got to stop doing that you damn dog!"
He spun around to poke his head out and just gave me a doggy grin, before rolling onto his belly and pining for a tickle. Much of a guard dog you are!
"Hey Kurt! get your arse in gear and help with the bags." Terence grumpily ordered while striding past me and down the stairs.
"why they're not even mine? More than half are Tomeka's, how come she cant take them in herself?!" I yelled back frustrated.
"Just do it and stop ya moaning!" Bloody typical! Of course being the newborn I had to do as I was told so I moodily stomped back towards the cars to collect her 'hienesses' luggadge!
And there she was leaned against the car's hood without a care in the world, it set my teeth on edge.
"awww is someone having a tantrum?" she mocked with a smirk. I strode past her and began hauling bags onto my back. after the fith one i felt like i had an elephant on my back it as so heavy.
