Chapter 5
"Hi..." I just smiled and kept looking at him. It might also be their cousin. He is also handsome like them
He sat in front of me and Luke while still staring at me.
"I'm Isaac by the way. Nice to meet you Erin... Such a beautiful young lady" He grinned while staring at me
"Hey Isaac. Do you want to die early? Maybe you're forgetting, that's Psalm's girlfriend" Luke's sermon that Isaac stopped
"I don't care as long as they're not yet married I'm still hoping that someday I'll go to hold this young lady's hands and kiss her" I was stunned by what he said and stopped when suddenly someone spoke
"Back off Isaac" Psalm promised coldly and without emotion staring at his cousin who now simply sneered at him
Psalm looked at me then approached me and gave me the water
"Here's your water" I smiled and drank some water. He still cares
"Psalm. Why does he have a bandage?" I was stunned by Luke's question while looking at my whole arm
"How is it?" I was surprised when he held it and looked at Psalm in shock
"Isaac get ready. It looks like Erin is going to fall for you. Look, she has cuts, Psalm has done something for sure" He said loudly that I was stunned. Psalm held my waist
"You don't care id*iots! Now you two better go home before I shoot your heads" He coldly promised the two.
"Mother. Something is really wrong..." I suddenly got nervous because of what Luke said and stared at us for a moment. Later he shrugged and stood up. "Come on, Isaac. They're already eating. I'm jealous" He said and turned around, but before that he gave us a big hug and left.
I could feel Isaac's gaze on me but I didn't look back
"Stop looking Isaac and get out" He just got up and left but before that he simply turned his eyes to me before leaving.
Psalm left me and that's why the feeling of being him came back to me
"P-psalm?" He froze when I mentioned his name. Obviously surprised
"S-Luke said your name is Psalm... Are they going home?" I'm a weak question. He kept staring at me then nodded
"Yeah. You better sleep again. You need to gain strength. I have a different punishment for you... A better punishment. You'll just be out of breath" I suddenly blushed because of what he said. Even if he doesn't direct, I know what he wants to convey again. I don't know but I didn't feel any fear at all
"Try to escape again Erin. I'll really tie you to the bed and... I'll make sure you scream my name" He whispered and simply bit my ear
"Don't try me Erin, I might believe it" He reached my waist and simply kissed my hair
"You better behave yourself if you don't want me to punish you. You might lose your virginity" I was stunned and my cheeks turned red because of what he said.
He led me out and counted because his cousins were looking at us again.
"Hmm... It's not yours, you idiot. Isaac will take it away. Trust the process" Luke said. Psalm tightened his grip on my waist
"You better go now. Erin needs to rest" He pulled me up while supporting me
I could feel his cousin's eyes on me behind me and I closed my eyes.
I just let him do what he wants to do with me. He took me inside the room and laid me on the bed. He also put a blanket on my body.
"Sleep now my beautiful victim. I'll be here until you fall asleep"
I woke up with no sound in the whole house. I looked at the wall clock inside and saw that it was past 10 pm. I frowned and got up and slowly opened the door to go out.
I was even more surprised because all the lights were off and I couldn't see even a small light. I was suddenly afraid.
I let out a breath and calmed myself down
"P-psalm?" I weakly called my partner here but no one answered. I scratched my head and thought of looking for the light switch
I feel like I smell something bad. I smelled blood and felt something strange. It suddenly occurred to me that Psalm has already been p*n*t*y a lot here and I'm sure he hasn't been quiet until now.
When the switch was on I immediately pressed it. The whole house was filled with light. I froze in my tracks when I saw the blood on the floor
I was suddenly overcome with fear. I slowly walked forward and stopped and started crying when I saw a head on the floor. It was on its back and there was a lot of blood on the floor.
I covered my mouth and was shaking with fear. Is he the p*m*t*y of them? I also turned to the side and completely stopped and disappeared when I saw a body of a man without a head. My guess is that the one in front of me is his severed head.
I cried and retreated as I looked at the blood splattered and the head that was separated from the man's body. I cried
"P-psalm! Where are you?!" I cried, I promise. I was stunned when Psalm saw something
He was staring at the window and deep in thought. He was holding a sharp knife and his white t-shirt and pants were covered in blood.
I slowly approached him and held him by the shoulder.
"P-psalm. You're still here--
I was stunned to see her in tears as she looked emotionlessly into the void. He's like a robot without batteries because he doesn't really move
"P-psalm how are you?" I weakly promised and hesitated to touch his face full of fresh blood
"I didn't save my brother..." He stupidly said while still in tears
"I'm worthless... I'm useless... I'm so worthless... I'm so useless" He repeated as he looked dumbfounded. I don't know why the tears came to my eyes.
My chest felt heavy and felt hurt because of what he said
"If only I was strong... I could have saved Mary" I looked at him in wonder when he mentioned the name of a woman I didn't know. Even though I doubted, I was able to ask him
"P-psalm... Is Mary your sister?" I made him face me and I saw him nod slowly. Tears flowed from his eyes but his face showed no emotion as he cried
"M-mary... Sorry... Kuya failed to protect you" His voice screamed while still dumbfounded.
"P-Brother's promise that they will pay, huh?" I was stunned when he looked at me and a strange smile appeared on his lips. I frowned and felt fear
"Are you the killed of my brother?" I was stunned and slowly shook my head. He stood up and looked at me intently then violently grabbed my arm
"Liar! You k*lled my sister! You deserve to go to hell! That's where you belong!" I cried in fear because he was holding a knife
"I promised to my sister that I will go to serve her the justice she deserves. Now that I'm in front of you you can't escape! You're going to die!" He screamed terribly and pointed a knife at me. I cried and begged him
"P-psalm please... Listen to me... I-I don't kill your brother... Believe me" He shook his head and looked at me like crazy while he was furious the eyes.
"L-love..." I whispered to him out of fear. He was stunned for a moment and suddenly his eyes lost emotion and his grip on my arm eased.
Stupidly, he lowered the knife he was holding and stared at me. The emotion engraved in his eyes was different. It's like asking for help. His eyes screamed for help while looking at me
"E-erin..." She cried and fell to the floor. I saw him adjust himself while screaming as if he was terrified.
I cried hugging him. I can see the veins that came out of his body. His whole body was red as well, accompanied by crying
"please... Listen to me... I-I didn't kill your brother... Believe me" He shook his head and looked at me like a madman with angry eyes.
"L-love..." I whispered to him out of fear. He was stunned for a moment and suddenly his eyes lost emotion and his grip on my arm eased.
Stupidly, he lowered the knife he was holding and stared at me. The emotion engraved in his eyes was different. It's like asking for help. His eyes screamed for help while looking at me
"E-erin..." She cried and fell to the floor. I saw him adjust himself while screaming as if he was terrified.
I cried hugging him. I can see the veins that came out of his body. His whole body was red as well, accompanied by crying "P-please... D-don't hurt my sister! D-don't k*ll her! S-spare her please! She's innocent!" She cried out as she ruffled her hair as she disappeared
I hugged him while the cry was still constant.
"Sshh... Psalm I'm here. Calm down please... I'm here I won't leave you" I calmly promised and hugged him tightly. I want to make him feel that I am here. Beside him
He was panting as he slowly let go of her hair, he gradually calmed down and stopped screaming. I felt him hug me back
After a while I heard her crying. I feel sorry for his condition and at the same time am hurt by his condition. I don't know why I feel guilty that he did this. I feel like it's my responsibility to stay by his side because... I'm guilty of what happened
"M-my sister... They k*lled my sister. She's innocent Erin, she's innocent... They k*lled my baby sister" He was like a child while saying those things. He was accompanied by sobbing.
I rubbed his back and touched his face. He was still red and drenched in sweat. I touched his chest and realized how strong it was beating. He was panting as if exhausted
"I-I'm just going to get some water--
"N-no!" He pulled me again and hugged me so tightly that I couldn't do anything but hug him back and sit in my seat again
"B-they might come back... B-they might follow you. They might hurt you... I can't afford to lose someone important to me again" He weakly promised. He started crying again while hugging me
"P-please help me find the one who k*lled my sister. I badly want them to put in jail" He hiccupped and sobbed even more. I feel that he is determined to catch the kill of his brother
I hugged her tightly and stroked her hair as if I was kissing her. He leaned on my shoulder while panting
"Yes Psalm. I'll help you. I promise, they'll go pay what they did to your sister" I don't know why I felt angry while mentioning this phrase
"Psalms?" I called him after he didn't say anything for a few minutes. He didn't move so I looked at him, sleeping in my arms.
I was stunned and confused. How do I upload it? I know that he is heavy, it is obvious from his body.
I looked at the corpse on the floor and immediately looked away as I was terrified. I don't know what to do now. I don't want to touch the corpse and I'll be the one to remove it. It was nauseating and scary when I did that.
I suddenly looked at his cell phone when it rang and the name 'Isaac' appeared on his caller ID.
Is this his cousin? I immediately took it. That's right because I will also ask for help on how to do it.
I immediately answered the call as I adjusted Psalm to lie down on my shoulder
"D*mn you Psalm! You k*lled someone again?! How many time--
"h-hello?" I took a sip to calm down the man who was shouting on the other line.
He didn't speak immediately and was silent for a few seconds
"E-erin? Is that you?" His voice was obviously reassuring. Psalm moved a little so I couldn't answer right away
"Uhm. Yes it's me. Can you come here?" I asked while staring at Psalm who was hugging me tightly while sleeping soundly
"Y-yeah sure! Do you have any problem there? By the way where's Psalm? Why do you have his cellphone?" Next he asked me a question.
"A-ah, he fell asleep. Can you come here?" I looked at the corpse not far from where I was sitting
"because Psalm has a killed y and he brought it here inside" I averted my gaze because my stomach couldn't bear to look at it for a long time.
"What the f*ck..." It sounded weak on the other line before speaking
"Okay. I'll be there in a minute. Where's Psalm?" He asked me weakly. I looked at Psalm who was fast asleep in my arms
"N-he fell asleep in my arms after he cried and didn't do anything" I said while staring at Psalm's gentle face.
I heard Isaac's taste on the other line
"Okay. Wait me there" I frowned when he immediately hung up on me. I put the cellphone on the table and adjusted Psalm's embrace.
Just a few minutes later, the door opened and Psalm's cousin entered. His blue eyes turned to me and stared at me for a moment even Psalm in my arms.
He walked towards us and bowed
"How is he?" He asked weakly and took Psalm from me then he held it in his arms. I was stunned. Can't believe he treated Psalm like this
"He fell asleep after crying and passing out earlier... He even brought that" I immediately looked away from the corpse and stared again at Psalm who was now fast asleep
"I'm sorry about it. You can rest. I'll just take it to his room and... I'll remove it too" He must have felt that I was uncomfortable while looking at the corpse
