"He is outside and yet does nothing to help."
The voice chimed in from above on the second floor.
"What does he expect? Surrender?
He knows full well the repercussions of actions like these taken upon our family, after all he was one of us."
I got up slowly from the bed having caught what little I could of Uncle's verbal assault on the town having been attacked earlier. From what the others have said I was found unconscious in the middle of the square with dirt all over my body. This is what happens when one is different from the group you try to be a part of, especially when they view you as a threat. As I looked at myself in a mirror I could feel a deep sadness begin to well but like everything else in my life I chose not to dwell on it. I had more important things to take care of and after surveying the house I knew it was going to be an interesting day.
Standing up against the wall I carefully peered outside. Although the town normally looked empty with today being a weekend, today was different in that a lot of people had gathered at the square. It isn't that far from where we lived and I frequent the place a lot if not to meet with people then to just watch others go about their daily routines. I sit and watch the 'normals' envying them for what they would never appreciate. Despite the fact that they criticize and fear us, I will be in awe of their 'normalcy'. Among the crowd I noticed Geo, one of us or at least used to be, enjoying the sun and the people. Smiling and laughing loudly that I could hear them.
The sadness I ignored earlier resurfaced and with it accompanied by anger. I know what emotions mean to us and what they potentially could start yet I could not escape the jealousy that has surfaced due to Geo's involvement with that "incident". Why is he allowed to smile and laugh while the rest of us hide?
I am indeed thankful for him and yet at the same time I despise him so.
I once hated and loved him and yet only hate exists even if he is my brother.
