Kaane was returning home after one of his numerous long mission "trip".
It wasn't that special but it took at least three weeks and a half to solve this one. It was a real hassle for sure and the young man was without a doubt, happy to see his appartment again. Once calmed down from all the excitment and tiredness he accumulated over time, Kaane hastened to remove his shoes and clothes. It's been a while he didn't have a chance to take a proper bath after all, that's why he instintively headed towards the bathroom.
The man prepared his bath while struggling at the same time to not fall asleep. He was trying to keep his focus on the water running in the tub. It looked so peaceful.
He suddenly felt a bit nostalgic. Flashes came back to his mind. Really old things he had come to forget with time and not really enjoyable either. Why did this happen right now of all places.
Kaane sighed, after closing the tap he slowly slipped into his bath, and finally relaxed his sore muscles.
- Kaane, always remember, your life is for other's sake.
"Yes, father." replied the boy.
- What a good little child. That is why i value your existence. Never waste it for your own, only for us.
"Yes, father. I will never betrail you or the organisation. I promise." the little boy smile with innocence to his dearest dad. Kaane never questionned any of the actions of his beloved father. Why would he anyway.
Already just a few seconds into the memories and Kaane pitied his naive little self. He was being a fool at that time but then again, he really loved his parents, and his father was so kind to him, as long as his precious son behaved as he wanted.
But this other man, the one who always accompanied his father for lots of secret partnerships. He was the most awful and disgusting prick Kaane have ever known.
- I will not say that again so listen carefully, never disobeyed me or else, your lovely little brother will suffer the consequences of your refusal. Am i clear? said the tall man with long white hair.
" ... Don't ever bring my brother into this!" shouted out loud the little boy, while clenching his fists with rage. He couldn't do anything more right now and it frustrated him more than anything. He had to be a good "puppet".
- If you do not want that to happen, then you know the right thing to do, with a big smile on his face the man knew that he has once again what he wanted. A new experiment to play with.
With this, Kaane had enough.
Couldn't he properly relaxed without thinking about old things he doesn't want to remember? Of course he couldn't. He was forever attached by force with those.
- I just want to embellish your face my darling, while humming a little tune, the woman took a knife and left a scar on the face of her first born. The blood was running down the cheek and child's nose.
"M-mommy... Are you satisfied?" replied the little boy with his watery eyes, resisting to cry as much as he could. His mother needed him to be still, like a beautiful doll.
- Not yet my treasure, you need some more to be the fairest of them all, said the woman with her deranged smile.
Kaane shook his head, opened his eyes, a tear falling on one of his cheeks.
Why now... He suddenly got up in the tub, he took his bathrobe and returned to the bedroom. He was maybe too fatigued at this point and started to be delirious too.
He went to his bed and instantly crashed down on it.
"It wasn't really a dreamed childhood at all" he chuckled, more from what he could have done, instead of letting them do what they wanted him to do. He turned around on the bed's sheets, posing his head on the pillow near him.
No more of this, ever. He swore as he was finally able to let himself go into a more dreamy place.
