"You know who you are... You can't deny it"
"Accept us... We are your thoughts only"
"Deny us... It's better for your sanity"
Whispers and whispers echoed in the ears of an ordinary boy sitting in silence on his bed. For hours he lay down on his bed looking at the roof with is eyes wide open.
This was the every day Occurance in the life of the dark haired boy or we can say, everyday mental issues as he started considering them since long ago and accepted them.
Ever since the day he gained consciousness, these voices have been in his mind always telling him to do things. Always seeking is acceptance. Evil, good, neutral... All kinds of thoughts mingled in with every situation he comes across in his life.
His only solace in this never-ending hell being his little sister who was only few months younger than him. She was not his blood related sister, he was adopted by the parents of his sister when he was 9 years old.
Life has always been confusing for him.. All the emotions being a mystery for him. He couldn't understand them no matter how much he tried. For him logic was the definition of life and everything should make sense. People yelling at each other, being angry at each other, loving each other, getting sad, hurt and happy just because of another human being's actions... These things were mystical to him.
And then came the day he met her, thats when life itself became more confusing and complex for the child troubled by whispers. Whispers also being confused as to what was going on with the sensible boy.
All it took was a smile from her, she smiled at him when he was introduced by her parents. Introduction where I was a child with no name, and I was meant to be her brother from now on. She smiled, clearly happy and came to hug him. He dodged, finding it amusing why this creature would touch him on the first meeting. She fell, clearly didn't expect the boy would dodge. And that was the moment the boy started doubting logic of life. Seeing her crying made a his heart ache with pain unspeakable.
Reaching out fast enough to hug her... He didn't realise what made him do that. All logic had lost its meaning in front of those tears. From then life itself became unique for him. He became a "Brother".
"What is your name, Brother?" , said my first ever family I could say?
"I have no name.. Ever since I remember, I'm called "Boy"", I replied to her.
"... No name?", it seems the creature was about to cry again.
I looked at her parents , now my parents as well? And saw them giving encouraging smiles to me, clearly wanting me to bond with their daughter. Did I mention how both of them had those crystal blue eyes? "Dad" Had short brown hair and "Mom" Had those black reddish hair flowing down to the ground.
Speaking of which, they both seem very rich and somehow... Strong?.. They have this aura, I can't seem to judge correctly.. Maybe they are in the army?
Then I once again laid my eyes on the creature of my misery. Those blue eyes and those black as night hairs, skin color being completely white, making those hair look even more beautiful.
"You can tell me your name and since I will be your brother from now on, give me a name as well"
The girl was delighted to be given the chance to name me.. Am I a puppy to her? Well as long as she doesn't cry.
"My name is Lily and you can be.. Um.. Raven!"
"... Why this name?"
"Your eyes are very black and sharp.. They remind me of ravens.. "
"Raven it is then.. Pleasure meeting you sister"
"I have a big brother!!", and that's how I gained my first identity and name in this world.
All along, the voices never faded, becoming more and more sinister, it's just that when my sister was in front of me, I could forget about them and get some relief. Logic it seems is not always convincing enough.
The world as I knew it was a huge continent named Black continent. And as far as I knew , it had 3 or maybe 4 countries? I never paid much attention to it. I was in the country named Republic and that's the extent of knowledge I have.. Oh, I also have memory issues aside from my mental issues . Orphanage lady said I was just standing outside of the building one day and she took me in.. It has been a couple if weeks since then and my luck seemed to be good?.. I got adopted quickly.
"Kiddo, My name is Lana Black and my husband's name is Robert Black. You can call us Mom and Day just like lily, from now on you will live with us and I hope you will feel happy with us", said the pretty lady with reddish Black hair.
".. I will stick to Uncle and Aunt if you don't mind", while my "Sister" Sure can melt me... I don't like any other human out of instinct which I have no clue about.
They seemed to be surprised by my cold reaction to them in contrast to their daughter. Well they will come to realise my true nature soon anyway... I don't really care much about anything... Hmmm maybe now I can add my sister as the "thing" I care about?
I thought the world was simply a civilised normal world with nothing surprising or even interesting... Oh how wrong I was.
