Please read this chapter. It will make sense in the end.

Crow's POV

I woke up in the middle of the night. Looking around, I saw that smoke loomed up from the candle, showing that it had recently burned out. Moonlight poured in through the window. It casted an unrecognizable shadow on the ceiling. Only then did I notice the sound of a piano playing. The one from downstairs.

A piano was kept in a large and empty room on the first floor. Standing up, I followed the sound. As I quietly walked down the stairs, the song grew louder. Eventually, I came across a door. The sound of the instrument was loud, signaling that it was behind this door. Opening it, I walked in. However, I stopped in my tracks out of confusion. I was standing in a hallway.

'That's funny, I was certain that the piano room was behind this door.'

The song still played loudly but there was no source. So logically I turned around to get out. My hand gripped the knob but the object won't budge. The door was locked. The only thing left to do was traverse through the hallway.

As I walked, I listened to the song bounce off of the walls. It was loud and yet, I couldn't find the piano.

I noticed something, the further I went into this hallway, the darker it became. Almost as if like magic, I came upon a lit candle. It lit the way as I traveled in the seemingly endless corridor.

There was only silence... until I heard a crunch under my foot. Peering down and moving my foot, I saw broken pieces of glass. Buried under the pile of sharp objects, was a single photo. I picked it up to get a better look. After noticing it was backwards, I turned it over. The picture was strange. It was a family of three but, their faces were crossed out by a black permanent marker.

I stuffed the picture into my pocket for safe keeping and continued walking into the dark passageway.

After a few minutes, the candle shedded light on a mysterious item sitting on a table. Once I got closer, the item soon became recognized as Asuki. However, her porcelain face was broken, leaving a hole in her head. My hand reached out to grab the doll. Suddenly, a spider crawled out of the broken hole, causing me to retract.

'Cel probably broke it and left it here accidentally. But I'm not touching it.'

Leaving the doll at the table, I instantly felt someone watching me. Quickly spinning around, I saw no one. Asuki was still facing the same way and everything. Nothing was there. Taking a few steps, I calmed down again.

Proceeding to walk, I noticed the hallway become an almost black abyss. The source of light was the small amount from the candle I held.

I once again, came across another object. This time, it was two. On the floor was two small items. A single black rose and a deck of cards. Both the flower and cards were stained in blood. I bent down to grab them.

???: Hey.

Yelling, I frantically turned around, I looked for the person who spoke.

Me: Who's there?!

No answer. Just choking silence. A long eternity passed and still nothing. I turned around but I was still alert. Unexpectedly, I became scared by what was in front of me. Where the rose and cards once laid, a trail of blood replaced them. The pattern was strange. It looked like someone was dragged by their feet, their bloody hands leaving marks on the floor. They were clawing for freedom but whatever was pulling them did not let go. Doing the stupid decision, I followed the blood trail. Actually, it was the only way I could go.

The blood trail stopped at a wall. The hallway ended.

'It's a dead end?'

It was strange because I could still hear the piano playing in the background. The only thing left for me to observe was a mirror hanging on the wall. My reflection stared back at me. I looked like a scared little boy, gripping a candle tightly.

Then the mirror changed, flickering like a screen. The reflective surface changed into a screen. A mirror-like screen. A video began to play within the mirror. It was showing one of my memories!

A memory of eleven year old me eavesdropping on my parents. They were discussing about the idea that changed my life forever... adoption. Young me stormed into his room after they agreed with the cruel idea. Young me began destroying the stuff in his bedroom. He said to himself.

Young Crow: This is all my brothers' fault. They're the reason why my parents don't love me anymore.

I put my hands on the mirror.

Me: No, it's not. It never was their fault. It's not Quinn's fault. It's not Porcel's fault.

I spoke to Young Me. I hoped I would get through to him. I wanted him to know that it never was their fault. They were innocent. If it was anyone's fault, it was the parents.

The mirror began to change dramatically. It showed other times of when I was blaming my brothers for something they weren't involved in.

Me: I love my brothers now. Please stop.

The mirror didn't listen to me. It only continued to show my sins. It slowly started to break me. Then, I finally broke.

Me: Stop showing me lies!

I yelled as I punched the mirror, breaking the screen. The glass transformed into a reflective mirror once more. Broken pieces of glass were sprawled out around me.

In my state of insanity, I picked up a piece of glass. I plunged the sharp weapon into my chest, stabbing my soul in the process. I leaned against the wall in pain. Blood poured from the wound in my chest. The crimson liquid covering my clothes and my hands. It was a red waterfall. The glass fell to the ground as I dropped to the floor. I couldn't move as my body felt weak. My eyes became heavy. I could feel the life escaping me. Darkness crept from the corner of my eyes. Then, I finally closed them.

~~~~End of Vision~~~~

Crow's POV

I woke up in a cold sweat. Putting a hand over my chest, I felt for an open wound. I sighed out of relief when I didn't find one.

Looking around, I saw a lit candle. Its small flame giving off warm light. The curtains were pulled over the window, preventing any moonlight from getting in. I glanced over to my brothers. Porcel was sleeping peacefully in his bed, a fully intact Asuki tucked in his arms. However, Quinn was gone.

Suddenly, I heard the piano begin to play. It played the same song that was in my vision.

Getting up, I kissed the top of Porcel's head before going to look for my younger brother.

As I came across the door to the piano room, my hand hesitated over the door knob. Flashbacks of my vision rushed through my mind. The long dark hallway, the photo, the blood stained items, and... the mirror.

My shaking hand took hold of the door knob. Opening it, I closed my eyes, waiting to open them again and see the hallway. I opened them and then instantly felt relieved. I was looking at the piano room.

Quinn sat at the instrument as he played the song in my vision. Seeing him brought tears of joy to my eyes. I hugged him tightly after I rushed over to my younger brother. This caused him to mess up and stop playing.

Quinn: Um, hello?

He turned to face me.

Quinn: Why are you crying? Are you okay?

Me: I'm just happy to see you.

He gave me a weird look when I sat next to him.

Quinn: Did you have a mental breakdown?

Me: No. I had a dark vision. I hated it.

Quinn: What? Did you have a vision of a girl or something?

Me: Ha ha, very funny. No, it was a vision that made me pray for the safety of you and Porcel.

Quinn's expression became serious when he heard it was about something other than my sexuality. He hugged me.

Quinn: Well, Cel and I are safe.

Porcel: Why is Crow crying?

We both turned our heads to see our baby brother staring at us. He was holding Asuki in his arms. The sight of Broken Asuki flashed in my mind.

Picking up Porcel, I held my brothers close to me. I will always love them...

They are my family

A Quick Discussion

Why am I crying?

I guess I'm just happy because Crow is with his brothers once again.

Also, if you're confused about this chapter... basically Crow had a nightmare. Crow killed himself to escape his nightmare.

Crow loves his brothers and would do anything to protect them.

Love ya...

Bye
