Chapter 3:

Truly psychology

Horror and thriller anthology's/Oneshots


Nothingness existed lived in the girl. Hollow as she was, no emotions, no desires, no shame. This brought fear to people around her who, in return, only saw them as nothing more but insects. After all, they couldn't do what she could. It was simple to read and some meddling in people's thoughts, at least for her. She wasn't born normal either. Her mom was killed a whole day after her birth, and her dad was murdered a couple of years later by some who said it was by a hammer-wielding maniac since his brain matter was all over the place. The only person left in her family was the older brother. Sadly the misfortune happens to him in due time. 

When he brought his little sister in, he was sincere over their loss even tho their father lost it, at the time accusing the sister of being some incarnation of evil only if he knew. At first, trying to cheer her up, but all the response he got was her cold dead-like stare. The older brother got unnerved by this stare. Her gaze was as if she were watching a pet trying to do tricks for his master. Finally, he decided to stop feeling this wasn't leading anywhere and showed her way to her upstairs room. He brought her to her room, showing how he fixed up for her. It was much better than her old room, which was just a futon and a table. He started to walk away from her room, giving her time to adjust as he began to walk down the stairs and started to feel a gaze from upstairs. Slowing, he began to sweat with fear, feeling like he was being judged. Turning around slowly, his heart rapidly told him not to do it. The more slowly he does, the more he feels his heartbeat until he finally does a 90-degree turn. Nothing, he sees nothing but the air and the sunlight. His heart finally calmed down from what had just happened, and he continued downstairs to make his sister and himself a meal to eat since its close to lunchtime.

There were many minor accidents like this, the feeling of being watched, not knowing what the force would do to him and his sister. He was worried about his little sister; which surprised it hadn't affected her, but he did. At first, the little sister didn't care about the older brother, only seeing him as another insect, just like their poor old father. But over the past months and how he has been treating her, even when her ability was affected, he still treats her well. This brought her dull eyes with some light in them. For the first time in her twelve years, she finally felt happy. This joy, she never wants to disappear. She will keep it and cage it. Her older brother might refuse at first, but she will force him. After all, she is beyond these insects.

Of course, the older brother saw the change in his little sister. She seems to be a bit happier. After the third week of her staying with him, she finally spoke to him, and he could only smile and couldn't wait to get closer to his little sister. But, as he gets closer to his little sister, he feels like he is being watched. In return, the feeling of paranoia reacted to him. There are times when he turns around and does not see anything, and most recently, he has been cooking, and he felt a touching sensation on his back going up and down, a feeling which brought chills to him. This made the hair on his body stand up in fear. Sweat started to form as he turned around, only to see nothing again. The older brother only looked with his mind in a blurry motion, confident someone or something was touching his back. He just huffed it up and went back to cooking, not realizing in the following weeks, his life would flip.

Over time the older brother got used to being watched and, on occasion, touched. He was just happy to see his sister being happy. Even tho there was a time when he could tell she was mad at him for simply pushing her to go to school and from him going to work, after all, whos going to pay for the bill, and eventually, she's going to have to grow up to. In times like this, he will get a weird whisper in his head trying to convince him. Otherwise, it felts like a soft sweet blessing, but at the same time, it is a hard burning sin. As if all his body was burning but at the same time chilly. He ignored it and thought he was giving these ideas for not wanting to separate from his little sister. After all, he took care of her for a couple of months, and it feels more like his daughter out of this.

Every day, more and more things will happen to the older brother. The imaginary stares and hands now follow him to his work, making him sweat more. In return, making him feel like a stalker was on their hands, but for him doesn't make the random touches he gets. The new thing that started to happen to him now is, at times, he will hear random voices telling him to get his little sister or not leave the house and stay there, and other stuff like that. He thought of going to doctors about this, but there's a chance he might not see be fit to watch his sister. So he stayed quiet about these issues and continued his life normally.

For the little sister, she was furious about how this had been going. First, her brother, whom she deems better than the other insect, forces her to go to school. Secondly, He will be going to a place called a "job," as if any of that existed. After all, their father never went to do something like that. It's more frustrating that he seems like he like his job. That means one thing all these months were just an act. At first, this was her conclusion, but over time she changed her view for the simple fact that her brother would always come back for her and still enjoy her existence. Her new conclusion is there was someone or something that was forcing him to leave her behind at this terrible jail-like place. If so, they shall be eliminated.

Eventually, the older brother got noticed by the girls at his job, and he always rejected them in fear that he wouldn't have enough time to take care of his sister. After all, she's at that age, and he worries about not leading her on the right path. So he will always reject the girls at his job until he meets the new transfer. She was gorgeous to his eyes, with her short black hair, almond brown eyes, and how smile she gave to him. But, after that, his heart couldn't stop bumping. Finally, the transfer walked to him and brought up her hand, which he took and smiled at her.

Over time the transfer and the older brother got closer so he could be happy, but it wasn't enough. Finally, he reached the point where he was comfortable talking about his little sister around her. She praised him for how much a good older brother he was and how her siblings were just troublemakers. He laughed at her remark. Each day they got closer. By doing so, he decided to take the plunge and ask her out in which he was surprised she said yes. One thing for sure is he's not going to tell his little sister for now since they will bring a new shock to the house.

The little sister was shocked to hear how her older brother would also have to work on Saturdays. She doesn't want her time for the older brother to be cut more. She tried to wail and cry but knew she couldn't do a thing with this "job" since he would go either way with her time now cut only the whole day being Sunday. The little sister wept on Saturday, wondering what she had done wrong. Her answer will show up soon.

The older brother and the transfer was having fun on their dates over the month, to the point he got confident to bring her to her little sister. But, first, he brought it up to the transfer, which she was happy about finally seeing the fable sister. He was so excited he kissed her, which brought her blush. When he returns from his date, he always sees the scene when he returns to his sister in the front room in the dark with one lamb light on. 

He went to her, and like always, she perked up with her face lighting up from the gloom. He smiled back, worried about how long she was in this spot. Later that day, the older brother got the courage to ask the little sister about bringing someone new into their life. He did expect her to hesitate, but what he saw was worse. Her face grew pale, to her eyes grew hollow and dead. He started to get a headache out of nowhere. It grew each time his sister talked. Every word she brings up echoes, mixed with a male voice. Fear kicked in him as his head started to hurt more. He was slowly knocked out with more head damage. Then, in his last sight, he sees his little sister with a twisted smile.

When the older brother woke up, the first thing in his sight was the living room ceiling. Then, standing up, he realizes it's dark, and the light he sees in the kitchen. From his slow approach to the kitchen, his heart was beating, questioning if what he had dreamed up the whole thing or if it was real. Finally, fear started to reach him, wondering if his father was right, what if his sister was the devil in wolf clothing. The courage got to him, and he turned into the kitchen to see his sister.

The sister was just eating, making him calm, expecting her with the same look. But instead, he faced his sister, who was still warry from his "dream." She looked up innocent, and with a single word, she spoke up about the transfer visiting them on the weekend. The older brother huffed, calming down now, believing the nightmare was due to talking with the little sister, and he just smiled and joined her to eat. He doesn't realize the sickly grin she has on her face.

The week passes fast for the brother, probably due to him being nervous for the first time his little sister and his girlfriend are going to meet. But part of him feels like something is going to go wrong. He tries to ignore it, but he just got a weird itch for it. This feeling disappeared once he met up with the transfer; having her smile at him made him happy. As they walked away from their job, the brother started to get a creepy feeling this will be the last he would see the transfer and the natural light of the sky. 

The dread grew as they reached the front of the brother's house. His heart was beating louder with each step until they opened the door. From there, he started to sweat, and he began to shake. The transfer realized this, grabbed his hand, and started to look at him, trying to comfort him, not knowing why he was acting like this. He stared at her calming down until he saw his little sister with a sad and disappointing look as he looked back at the transfer and only heard a noise.

'Pop'

Blood hit his face as he saw the transfer head blow up. He could only look shocked and with wide eyes. Then, after realizing that the girl's head was blown up, and her brain matter and blood were on him, he screamed while crawling away from the headless body. He looked at the sister, only to see her walking toward him and hugging him. He looked at his sister to see her grinning like a mad man. With his head getting violated by voices he heard a week ago, now figuring it out, it's from his sister. His eyes were now in fear realizing his father was right. The little sister was a demon, a devil, a monster that he, himself now, is a pet to the devil herself.
