"Dylan..."

He was at it again. Crouching in a corner and gripping his father's belt so tightly in his hand that the white of his knuckles could be seen. It just broke my heart to see him this way. I walked forward, took his hand and spoke softly to him,

"Dylan, your food is ready."

He just raised his head and stared out at me through those demented, liveless eyes. I bit my lip and willed myself not to cry. I did not want to cause more sadness to and for him. Not ever. Not again.

"Waddaya want."
My heart skipped a beat. This was the first time he was talking to me after nine long weeks of solid silence and sad stares. I smiled and gave his hand gentle tug,

"Dylan, dinner."

He suddenly leapt up, a sudden flame burning in his eyes and lashed out at me with the belt.

"WADDAYA WANT!!"

he screamed. the belt hit me square on my face and the sting reverberated throughout my body, although it could not compare to the shock I felt and the intense wave of guilt, followed by the strong feeling that I'd deserved it. I'd deserved this.

"WADDAYA WANT!!"

Smack!

"WADDAYA NEED!!"

Crash!

"WADDAYA...!!"

Snap!

"WIDDAYA CARE!!"

Tears welled up in my eyes as the belt made harsh contact with my skin.

It's my fault.

Smack!

I'm to blame.

Crash!

I'm sorry.

Snap!

I'm really, really sorry.

But I knew that no matter how much I apologised, not matter how or what I did, the past can never be erased. The sinful act that I had committed could never be denied.

Dylan ran out all of a sudden, leaving me behind stunned at his sudden departure. Where has he gone? What was he going to do now? Why did he...

My questions were soon answered as he reappeared at the doorway with something heavy, cruel and silver in his hands. His eyes opened as wide as possible as he raised the chopper high above his head; his famous baseball stance.

I didn't know why, but I just smiled kindly at him, my hands held out, embracing my destiny, the kind justice that was about to be passed onto me. But why, why did a tear slip out from my eye?

The chopper was flying, glinting little flashes of silver each time a ray of light shined on it. But my smile just got even softer, just got even kinder, just got even more peaceful.

"I love you."

A life for a life. It's only fair, right?
