Five Years Ago…

“Eli?” The voice of five year old Lisa fluttered through the crack of Eli’s bedroom door. “Big brother, are you up?”
Eli groaned as he slightly lifted himself to check the time on his alarm. It was blurry but he could still make out 2:45am in green numbers.
“Lis its two in the morning go to bed.”
“I had a bad dream.”
He sighed and moved to one side of the bed. “C’mon” He yawned as the girl in a bunny onesie squeezed in next to him. He threw his arm over her and pulled her in closer before the both of them dozed back off.

Today…

Eli sat in front of the body of yet another victim. A man in a suit lay dead on the floor of his office. Before he left he once again left his signature smiley and jumped out of the tenth floor window, landing perfectly on his feet with his blood covered hands in his jean pockets. He knew if he went home there would be a big chance that River would once again be waiting for him there, so instead he went to her house.

He knew were the window to her bedroom was and how to get it open. The room was dark, but he could see what he was doing. He walked over to her deck and grabbed one of her arts and craft papers and left her a note

Don’t come back
Or every human you know
WILL BE NEXT

He once again made a smiley with the half dry blood on his fingers before leaving. He continued roaming the streets until he was sure she was gone. He was glad to enter an empty house, but it was clear that she had been there. He could also see that she hadn't been there alone. Three empty glasses stood on his coffee table, placed there on purpose to get his attention. He ignored it and went to bed.

The loud ringing of his cell phone the next morning quickly ripped him out of sleep.
“What!”
“The school tells me they haven’t seen you in a while; wanna tell me what’s going on.” It was his aunt. This time she sounded angrier then concerned.
“Not really. No.” He replied with no emotion.
“I think I should come stay with you for a few days. This whole thing is obviously affecting you more than you’re letting on.”
He simply ignored her and hung up the phone.
The phone rang again, and once again he ignored it. It rang a few more times before stopping

As usual his shower water went down the drain a faded pink and before long his crusted fingers where once again white. He left the bathroom with a towel around his waist and one in his hand rubbing dry his hair. His eyes quickly moved to the figure in front of him and he just as quickly moved the towel from his face to see Seth standing in front of him.
“Grate; she left you a key to.”
Seth ignored his question and held up a familiar piece of paper “What the hell is this?” He asked furiously.
“Did I really hit you so hard that you forget how to read?”
Seth did not look amused, his face turned red with rage. “You’re threatening her?” He growled through gritted teeth.
Eli laughed. “I’m threatening all of you if you don’t leave me alone.”
“Have you lost your mind? What am I saying, of course you have.”
“I guess being used as a lab rat can do that to someone.”
“We all went through the exact same thing, and you don’t see us killing innocent people.”
“The same thing? You think, oh wow this is hilarious. You think that the three of you had to go through the same thing that I did?” His eyes began to go black again and they were this time accompanied with parsing black vanes that filled Eli’s face. “You… didn't suffer nearly as much as I did. Not even a tenth of what I felt. Oh no, no, no, don’t you ever compare your ‘pain’” He made his figures quotations “To my TORTURE!” As he spoke he pushed Seth closer and closer to the door. “You still have a family. You still have your sanity. I don’t. I have nothing.”
“You still have us.” Seth replied as he walked backwards
“Oh really. Us as in the us who sold me out? Or the us that left me to rot in a cage for four years? The us that did noting with my mother, my father, my FIVE YEAR OLD SISTER was being killed.” They were now standing against the door.
“That wasn't us.”
“Get out of my house. Stay away from me and take that threat seriously.” He opened the door and pushed Seth out, slamming it shut once he was out…
