Chapter 9 - 9. Echo-II

Crazy woman

Eia's hair would've almost ripped off if I had not interfered. How could she march and casually assult her own child. My grip was firm on my mother's hand. 

"mother, I belive we have matters to discuss" I said firmly while trying not to let my intent to kill leak out.

"Oh yes indeed we have," she said while looking at her daughter who was at the verge of tears,"more than one it seems" I yanked her hand from Eia as soon as she softened her grip, Eia fell forward and I caught her, carassed her hair and wispered that it's alright. She was trembling with fear, delicate in my arms. Of course she wasnt but such was the case.

I looked behind my mother to see two human dogs who probably have some ability though mother was enough to take us both.

The smell of fresh tatami mats...as nostalgic as traumatic. I vividly remember the bloodshed. The one scream that still echoes in my ears to this day. Will this any different in a different timeline?

This small room, the air that smells heavy and infront of me another room, closed with white wooden sliders.

It slid open, hell.

I'm resolving this issue right here and now. I clenched on to my pants, this position is too uncomfortable.

Mother waved her fan from her mouth, indicating I start.

"I refuse to be the heir," my voice didnt crack I knew exactly what I wanted "although I will find grandpa and..." I looked to see her expression, she's someone who plans in her mind, im probably dead already "i'm taking Eia with me, she doesnt deserve this"

I brace myself.
