Requiem of Madness.
Chapter 1.
How it all begun.
‘’Hi...’’
Every one backed away as the girl made her way down the corridor.
‘’My name is Neiko...’’
Some people whispered to each other, some yelled at her. She only smiled. The smile that made everyone mad.
‘’And this is my story...’’
Her right eye watched everyone like a hawk. Her blood red eye craving for blood. Everyone looked at her in disgust. She turned to her right, almost stepping in Biology’s classroom as a person popped up out of nowhere, smiling her goofy smile.
‘’Hey, Nei !’’ the girl said smiling at the red eyed girl. Neiko frowned and tried to side-step her sister, but it didnt work, since she didnt let her.
‘’What do you want Sylverant ?’’ Neiko asked irrated by her little sister.
‘’My cute, little sister Sylverant...’’
‘’Hey, did you forget that this is my class too ?’’ Sylverant huffed and put her hands on her hips. This little ball of energy is my sister, Sylverant. Almost every student in this school likes her, even though, she sometimes fails in tests, is clumsy and daydreams in her classes and free time. She’s pretty much popular. Unlike me. I am not popular. I’m a freak as everyone says that. I dont have my left eye, that’s why I wear a black eye-patch. And my right eye is blood-red. Blond, short hair. And I wear black and white clothes everyday. Except in school. I have to wear a damn uniform that has blue mini-skirt, a white blouse and blue vest over it all, blue and white socks and brown shoes. How nice.
‘’What a beautiful puppet she would be...’’
‘’No I didn’t...’’ Neiko rolled her eyes as she side-stepped her sister again, this time successfully. She sat in her seat, in the back of the classroom as Sylverant sat next to her. Neiko merely glanced at her smiling sister.
‘’Well, why dont you sit with me in lunch ? Will you, Big sis ?’’ Sylverant asked almost bouncing in her seat from excitement.
‘’....Maybe, I can change that...’’
‘’Do we have to go over this every morning, Sylverant ?’’ Neiko asked, and glared down at her books. Everyone got the vibe and turned to look at the arguing sisters.
Sylverant rolled her eyes. ‘’Just answer. Yes or No ?’’
‘’No.’’ Neiko said as Sylverant huffed. ‘’You should know, this by now, that I won’t sit with your so called ‘friends’. They all call me freak and I dont want to even hear your friends annoying, high pitched voices...’’ she said it calmly, as her glare softened and she turned her head in her little sister’s direction.
Sylverant frowned, but nodded anyway. She knew that her big sis hated her friends. They always had called her ‘a freak’. Neiko smiled a small smile. It wasnt a smirk or a wicked grin, it was a simple, sad smile, on her pale pink lips. A loud cough was heard as everyone turned their heads to the front, where the teacher stood, glaring at everyone. The teacher sighed and said. ‘’Good morning, students...’’ everone said their ‘good mornings’ as the 3rd period started for everyone.
~*~ FastForward to lunch ~*~
Neiko bit into her apple and looked at her sketch. She didnt hear anyone as she listened to her iPod on full volume. Some students glanced at her.
‘’ I'm a punk, I'm a sinner
I'm lost new beginner
I'm a threat to myself
I'm a get armargeddon
I'm a freak, I'm a liar
I'm a flirt, I deny that I know it, Then I mess it up...
And sometimes I feel like
I'm only one
No wonder why I've become
So dum so dum di dum di dum...’’
Some people rolled their eyes as they already knew the song that Neiko listened everyday. A person sat next to her, but Neiko didnt notice. Neiko had always sat alone. Nobody didnt even wanted to sit next to the freak, fearing that they might start to act like her. The person next to her huffed annoyed - not that Neiko heard – and poked her side, making Neiko jump from surprise. She looked at Sylverant who was laughing. Neiko shut off her iPod and put it in her backpack. Sylverant had stopped laughing and watched her sister sat down and glare at her. Sylverant just smiled as Neiko sighed annoyed. ‘’Hey, Nei !’’
Neiko only nodded and looked again at her sketches. Sylverant looked at her sistrs sketches and smiled. ‘’Are you making new dolls, sister ?’’
Neiko smiled and nodded. It was her hobby to make...dolls as her sister would say. Neiko called them puppets. She had made over 20 puppets that stood in her room. But this time, she would work on a human-sized puppet.
‘’Can’t wait to see it !’’ Sylverant said and ate her apple. Neiko nodded and looked at her sketch, smiling. But it was a wicked smile...
