Murder Time, Fun Time

The Brother

“What caused Sarah to get that killer intent happened that day... It was a rainy day, year 1907 and Sarah’s family was busy in the morning. They were preparing to go to church, as they did every Sunday. Although this day Sarah’s little brother was sick, and he wanted to stay at home, but his father insisted for him to go. Truth is he mistreated them as children. But since he was his son, he allowed him to stay at home.” The maid continued” After the rest of the family went to church Henry, that was his name, decided to escape from that house and find himself better family.”

Henry snook out of the house after he was sure his family was gone and ran to the gate. He stopped to take one last look at the Blairfyre mansion and said one last goodbye to his older sister. He was sad that he had to leave her, but he wanted to find a way to help her, not knowing it will lead him to his death. He turned around and went out the gate. It wasn’t till after that his father yelled out “HENRY!!” and started running at him with hatred and murder written on his face that he realized that he wasn’t as safe as he thought.

“Oh no…” he whispered under his breath and quickly turned around and started running. He got about 28 yards from his home, until his father grabbed him by the arm causing him to scream out in pain.

“Where you are going boy?” his father asked through his gritted teeth as he held onto Henry's arm rather tightly,” you’re coming home right now.” He started to drag Henry home as he was trying to pull away. Once they got home he threw him across the floor and kicked him in the stomach.

A few moments later Sarah and their mother came running in.” Henry!” Sarah yelled out, “Father! Stop, you’re hurting him!” she pleaded. She tries to pull her father away from Henry but gets knocked back by him.

He continued to hit him full of rage for his attempt to escape, and he didn’t feel that was good enough punishment. So he took poor beaten Henry and dragged him to the bathroom, to the bathtub and turned on the water. He continued to hit him to get the anger out of him, until the bath was full of water. Finally, after a few minutes of beating Henry, it was full of water. He dunks Henry’s head to it saying, “You will learn how to respect me, you insolent child.” Sarah and her mother came into bathroom a few moments later, and saw what the father was doing to Henry, Sarah begged him to stop, but he was in too much of a rage to listen to her. (You see, lately she started to beg her mother to help Henry, but she hasn’t even tried to react. Sarah was beginning to wonder if her mother even cared for little Henry.) For a normal human it would be hard to be underwater for so long, and Henry was beaten up, so it took very little time for him to drown. Despite him being dead, his father was still holding his head underwater. After a few minutes he pulled him out, but it was too late. Henry was already dead. He let his son’s lifeless body fall on ground and went to his study room. The mother followed, while Sarah stayed and cried over Henry’s lifeless body. Father was afraid, what will people say about him, so he and mother started to talk about what to do now. Poor Sarah while going to her room overheard them saying that Henry deserved this and that he was a good for nothing brat. She ran to her room, remembering her little brother’s cold as ice corpse lying there as she was crying over him thinking it was all her fault and that she should have protected him, and cried for the whole night.

In the meantime, the parents decided to show Henry’s death as an accident. As they were conversing that morning, Sarah was rather curious to hear what they were talking about. So, she snook down the stairs to her father’s study and listened in to what was being said.

“We can’t let this get around the town,” replied the mother “we have to find a way to make it look as if it was an accident.”

“I know” he growled “but you forget she’s still just a girl and will listen to me if i threaten her!” he slams his fist on his desk “she won’t tell anyone.”

“That may be true, but It’s not enough. You know how fond she was of little Henry!” She raised her voice a little louder than expected.

He slaps her face and says “You ungrateful, good for nothing woman! How dare you raise your voice to me!” he pushed her to the ground and pulls her hair, tugging her head back “Don’t you ever try to talk back to me like that again.” He threatened, “Or next time your punishment won’t be as merciful.” Sarah heard enough and went back to her room.

Since that day she decided that she will revenge her beloved brother, no matter how much time she needs to accomplish that.
