Abandoned
Being a brother is always hard. Not only that you have to remain as the father figure of your younger siblings, but you are also the strength of your mother to assist her when your father is away.
And despite all that, Othello had nothing to worry about.
It wasn't hard for him, because he never experienced becoming one, as he had already left the side of his sister when she was born, and came back late to see her.
If he had the power to go back in time, he would. He would leap down from the trees and approach her playing with the sand and sticks. He would tap her on the shoulder and tell her that she was her brother.
But he couldn't.
He didn't want Asty to get involved with the things he started when he left. He didn't want Asty to get caught in a situation. He didn't want Asty to see him and reject him, for he was a Night Hallow.
But one night, after 19 years of looking after her from behind the shadows and keeping her from ha

Chaol, who was bringing a few portions of salmon in his mouth, looks at Asty.He saw how her eyes lowered and how her shoulder slumped down. She had already finished her food, thankfully."Chaol," she called out to him, to which he immediately responded."I'm listening.""Would you tell me more about my brother?"Chaol puts down his utensils and wiped the stain from his lips gently with the napkin. He then fixed his robe, making sure that he was feeling comfortable for the storytelling."Your brother, is a handful man."Asty looked at him apologetically. "I'm sorry about him.""Disciplining him was tedious and kept doing things that nobody in this household wanted him to do. He sucked at every chore he was assigned to and only exploited us of food and shelter. He did nothing to contribute and was rath

Chaol found a boy in the woods.It was on the 3rd of May, while the sun sets from the horizons when he found him. He was pale as snow, crouching beside the huge redwood, with his knees tucked against his arms. His eyes were fixed in a blank distance ahead of him. The young boy was flimsy and short. His eyes were dead and his lips were chapped and blue.Chaol was not very fond of adopting children into his castle, but there were times when there was an exception. He would only invite them if he sees them fit to live and serve him.He gently approached him and lowered himself to call out to him, softly."Hello there...""Get lost." the boy immediately spat at him. "Get lost or I will kill you.""Unfortunately, you can't." Chaol mimics a sad face and sat beside him. "So, how did you die?""I'm not dead." he hissed at him."A half breed then? Interesting, I haven't talked to a mongrel such as you are, in years."

He had broken the shovel of the gardener a few days ago and hid it behind the bushes."Othello." the gardener bellowed at him. "Would you care to explain what the hell is this?" he showed him the two broken pieces of the shovel in his hands. "How in the goddamn world did this break, Othello?"The shovel was snapped into two."I didn't do it." he lied to him."Your face says it all." the gardener hissed at him. "Why do you have to lie, goddamn it?"

"I don't deserve you." The count's words pierced upon her heart like an unexpected rejection. She felt every vein on her vibrate in mixed emotions as the male's words echoed upon her mind. Even with her gleaming sunset orbs, she saw how pained the count gazed at her. "I'm sorry I barged inside, please dress up. You'll catch a cold." She grabbed onto his sleeves and tugged them gently, halting his movements, midway. "What is it?" Asty clutched the blanket on her chest and lowered her head. "Please don't say that again." Chaol stared at her with an unverified expression of confusion and guilt. "What?" "Please don't say that you don't deserve me. I am just a mere commonplace woman who was lucky enough to be gifted by this blood that you sought. It isn't anything unique."
