I had almost hoped that this was all some horrible dream when I woke up. The room reminded me of my brothers, or at least Jane's... up until I saw Sebastian sitting in the chair playing games on the TV. The last words he said before leaving were something like "If it's too painful deal with it later, and your safe here." I can't help but believe that it isn't true. If I were really, genuinely, safe then why do I feel like I'm being kept in a prison cell?
"Come to me where you roam; Weep not for me and memories gone; Dance among the stars at night; And I will be your wings when you take flight; Hear no cries from those before; They adore what I abhor; Death be vain if not for peace of mind; In which monsters never find; ..." Sebastian sang, It was not a song I recognize but the melody was almost similar to that of Hanging Tree from what I could tell at least. His voice was captivating, deep and mesmerizing. If only his words didn't foretell death. "They weep for not for those they slain; So I shall embrace their pain; Victims lost in bones and lies; Just like all their cries; Blood that drops like falling tears; As they grow closer to their fears; So come to me where you roam; Weep not for me and memories gone; Dance among the stars at night; And I will be your wings when you take flight." He continued to sing the words, it almost made this feel like a horror movie.
I look at the TV there is so much blood everywhere, his character holds a rifle and is taking people out with head shots. There is a small chat thing on the lower left side, so I assume he is playing with others. Then the screen goes black, and there is a leader board. One side is red, with only one name below: A Lost Lamb WILL DIE. Everyone else was on the blue side. All of them died more then once, while the red didn't die once.
"So.... are you the single red guy?" I am almost certain I know why curiosity killed the cat. Curiosity might have been a murderer that didn't want to be found so killed all witnesses.
"Oh... your awake. Sorry I wasn't paying attention to you, but yeah I am. Austin is back... Though he is in the process of getting rid of things... And being a complete ass... I think he is making dinner somewhere in there? I was told, 'Watch my Lily, do not even look at her, and do not even dare wake her up. Play your games if you must, but neither of you are allowed to leave the damn room.'" He raised his voice trying to impersonate his brother. I ended up laughing. "Anyway I got my phone back and heard from Airis. Apparently when she asked the girl using the name Sarah she started crying. Here I'll just play the message for you."
He pulled out his phone, and then a message started playing on speaker.
"Hey are you doing okay, Sarah?" I assume that is Airis' voice, and the other person starts sobbing.
"I don't know who you are... but I thought everyone forgot about me. I think those were my parents that left... but they think that I'm my sister. She is the same age as me... but I got taken at the time by a kid named Conner. I thought he was nice, cause I couldn't find my sister... but I got lead somewhere else. Honestly if it wasn't for the fact that we look alike, I might not even remember her face. I cried so much when it all happened. I managed to run and get away, it probably doesn't matter to him anyway... He wanted my sister, not me. Have.. you seen my sister?" Sarah's sobbing as she speaks her voice sounds rough, and I'd bet it hurts to speak with all these tears.
"No I have not. Honestly the most I know is that she is with my boyfriend and his brother. Me and him are already a weird combination, and I haven't meet his brother. They were planning to head back with us... Can I ask you a favor?... Will you act as Lilie, you can tell James, and Jane. Elias is your younger brother, James is his friend and Jane's younger brother. Jane is also one of Lilies friends, you don't have to tell James or Jane. But please at least let your brother know. If these people that had you are after your sister it might be safer for her to go with us. I might be able to help you guys talk would you want that?"
"I would do anything to talk to and see her again. But if this is what you think is best I don't feel like I have a choice... Can I give you a message for her?... Ok so... No matter where she goes always be with atleast one or more other people. He has been watching her for years, I don't know how. I do know he has had multiple people that follow her, and from what I understood, I was found hours after she went missing. So I think the only reason I was able to get away was cause he thought he could grab her.... Even though I have been sheltered in their group for years, I wasn't able to escape, I was often locked in a room. I really hope that he never finds her. Please tell her that no matter what, do not go alone at night. It puts me at ease knowing she is with your boyfriend. Even though it really is only the simple fact that he doesn't have her. I don't remember what his name is anymore. The only reason I remember Conner is cause he was with us the entire time, and was the only one who talked to me. Said he was the only one allowed to interact with me cause I'd end up going crazy or dying. I kinda... fell in love with him, but I don't want to go back. I honestly wouldn't mind meeting him again, as long as I never go back." Sarah's voice still held tears, but when she was taking about the kid Conner at the end, she seemed happier was this some delusion?
"I don't think you will. If he is working with the people going after your sister it might be better not to. And I get you love does crazy things. I would not be surprised if I went to check on my man, and he be injured. I'd just have to hope the other person isn't worse, but you also got to think of who you want to protect. I get that you love him, but he might not even love you, would you want to risk your and your sisters safety over that? He might love you I don't know, but he could also only be using you. Do you have anything else you want me to pass along?"
"Hmm.....She should get a boyfriend or someone who can protect her. You said the other day that your a cop, is you boyfriend one too?... Oh? What does he do? Spy? Secret Agent? Mafia leader?"
"Um... we are talking about your sister, not what my boyfriends profession is."
"Oh.. darn. Well she should have at least someone to protect her, and maybe an extra person who can just kick all their asses except for Conner. And make sure none of them can hurt either of us. Maybe I should put Conner through your boyfriend and you. Least then I can get a background check and make sure he's not an ass."
"You do realize that a background check only works if they have been caught for something right? Also what is it with the guy that's after her? Do you know anything about him?"
"Hmm.. Let's see... my memory is kinda foggy about him, but I think he had a class with her and we were in elementary, and that he moved to a different country mid year, and I keep wanting to say his name was something like Dennis? Daniel, Dustin, Derek, Demitrie, Donnovan, Dallas? Honestly I can't remember... Dallas sounds familiar, and I think Donnovan is Conner's last name? Or maybe it's just some fake name he gave me."
"Thank you for the help Sarah, I'll make sure that I tell Lilie, do you by chance know why he would be going after her for the past 15 years?"
"Oh.. so that's how long I've been gone. Uh... yeah I asked Conner a couple times. He said it was cause the guy fell in love with her right away, and promised his father that he would do anything to have her. And that his father put me in a box while I was passed out and gave it to him. And that he and his dad had a whole argument about us not being the same and that I was the sister. And that he would always know if it was Lilie by her eyes. From what Conner told me he has a whole bunch of pictures. Some from like social media, and stalkers that he hired and something else. Conner was the reason I think why their father didn't try to get rid of me. He told me once to, that he would help me go home, and that if I ever wanted to see him again I could. I don't think he ever had any intention of hurting me... But I really hope he doesn't help try to find my sister."
"If he is as good as you believe then I hope not either. I should get going, thank you."
"Yeah, thanks, it's good to know that my sister is ok too."
We heard a shutting door, "Hey Sebastian, you were right, hopefully some of that is of use to you. And I don't know if you actually have Lilie with you, but based off of your complaints about your brother I'm guessing so, hopefully we can get together and come up with some type of plan. And I guess our pact will hold for your brother as well, unless of course you feel the need to deal with him. Bye honey."
"And that is the end of the call. No I have not yet showed this to my brother. I got it about 3 hours ago?... I kinda didn't want to answer cause I was singing and happily killing people in games." He was smiling the entire time, what makes him so happy? Actually it might be her voice that made him so happy...
