First Stygian Diviner:Apocalypse-Chapter 38 A Memory

"Isiah, what are you thinking about! please, talk to me "Adelita said while sitting next to him when he heard about Jivan stealing a piece of his skin as a payment.

" I am thinking about chiks"He said with an empty look on his eyes, he looked as if he was living on another dimension or reliving a buried memory from his life .

" Huh! that' interesting, why are you thinking about chiks?"

"Once, when I was eleven I took permission from my father to take care of chiks in the house, it was something trendy back then and a lot of my friends had their own chiks farm and I envied them .

I wanted to have what they had!

surprisingly my father accepted my demand and i went with him the next day to buy chiks, he wanted me to have only one but i insisted in bringing two, to keep them companied by each other, they were siblings and i didn't wanted to separate them, they looked like sunlight, very cute and they moved a lot .

They followed me everywhere and loved that, it felt like i am having a pupy inside the house.I didn't name them because a lot of people told me that they are fragile creatures and that they have a tendacy to die fastly.

I was very prepared to lose them the day I bought them, and yet I forgot by the day that information.

I locked them in my room and i fed them and took care of their dump, i was very responsible over them like i was never before, i felt like i am their mother and I liked that feeling.

Once I opened the door and they hurried to the door with their cute little steps.

They usually slept next to each other like they were protecting themselves with that bond, at night i put them in big box, they were too small and i didn't want to risk them being in danger"

" Sounds like a great memory, Isiah!" Adelita said while looking into his eyes with hope.

" Seven days, they stayed with me only seven days!"

" And ! what happened?"

" One day i wanted them to see past my room, i released them because i knew that i was the only one there, they were tapping with their beak on the floor making a huge fuse, they must have found an insect or something, i went to the kitchen to bring a mop from there to clean their dump on the floor …dad hated their dump on the floor…i went to do that when i heard a high scream, felt like coming from them, i run towards the sound to find my dad leaning towards the floor.

He started to curse non stop, i knew what happened immediately, he stepped on one of them.I looked at them and i saw the most lively one of them was crushed on the floor.he wasn't dead yet, he was closing his eyes while breathing slowly. his stomach shredded and the blood was on the floor along with its insides.

I held my head with my two hands, that was too much for me, I felt like my brain stopped at that time.

I didn't blame him, he didn't see them and I didn't tell him that I released them.

He continued walking while saying that I should dispose of it in the garbage.

I stood there for seconds trying to process what happened, when i saw the one who stayed alive…walking towards the dead one and started to eat the part of his stomach that was on the floor..

I started screaming like a crazy person at him trying to ask him to move from him …i don't know what their relationship was anymore.

Eventually I took him to its box, he was making a huge fuse, my dad went to the dead one and put him in the garbage.

i bursted in tears, yelling at him that he should bury him.

He said that it was just an animal but to me it was not.

I fucking raised them and to see one them crushed gave me a pain in my stomacke, i still feel that pain whenver that incident crossed my mind

I went with tears in my eyes to the kitchen and took it from there , after that I buried it in the garden immediately, that picture was vivid in my mind and I had it with me for a long time.

The other one, i just gave it away to one of my neighbors, i couldn't look at it, whenever i heard its voice i kept seeing the picture of it trying to eat his brother's insides.

on the same day i lost both of them and i haven't brought a pet after that anyway.

The same day, my dad bought me two new chiks as a replacement, i don't know what he was thinking but for me, I couldn't even look at them without seeing my old ones.

He eventually gave them away and …"

Isiah looked at Adelita's eyes when he finished narrating that story, she said with a sad look on her face:" That must be awful, it is a horrible incident for a kid to see" ƒ𝒓e𝐞we𝚋𝙣ｏ𝚟𝚎𝘭.co𝙢

"I just remembered it now, is he going to eat my skin?"

"oh ..noooo..noooo…Isiah …nooooo…he may look like a pervert creepy dude but he would never do that ..ohhh..noooo"

" We are all animals and i think that there is no difference, those cute chiks were so adorable until the moment I saw one of them try to eat the dead one"

" I am sorry that you have seen such a thing at a young age, but please put some faith in me when i tell you that he is not going to eat it..Isiah .."

Isiah looked down at the ground as if he was seeing that crushed one in front of him, he felt sick in his stomach, he even was going to puke when Adelita said:" If this memory is so heavy, i could erase it from your mind"
