Their Last Night

Last night all I could hear was yelling crouched down at my bedroom door me and my younger sister Tiffany pressed our ears against the door. It was Alex and my dad arguing and my mom trying to calm them both down. As I listened I soon realized that they were arguing about Jayden. Then all of a sudden the arguing stopped and it was quiet for a moment then I heard Jayden scream a blood curdling scream. Me and my sister both looked at each other then ran and hid under my bed. I placed my hands over my ears and tried to think of a happier time but Jaydens' scream just kept echoing in my ears. I must have eventually fallen asleep under there and the next morning I awoke to heavy foot steps approaching our door I was so afraid whatever happened to Jayden was about to happen to us. I began to tremble as the door slowly opened and to my surprise it was just Avery. I quickly crawled from under the bed and ran to give him a hug Tiff soon followed. We both had a million questions to ask him about the previous night as we walked over to the bed and sat down. He answered none of our question just stood there silently for what seemed like ages then when he finally spoke he told us that mom and dad were dead. I was so shocked I couldn't even speak Tiff instantly burst into tears. I knew this day was coming but I didn't know it would be today. Avery was right about to say something else when Alex walks in carry the heads of our parents... To be continued

Alex's wedding

Today is kind of special because Alex is getting married to his 1st wife Jayden he is allowed up to three wives. I’m not sure how to fell at this point. Jayden and I are good friends but she is neither in our tribe nor a close family member and she is a different race. In our tribe divorce, marring into another tribe or race is all taboo. Something else unique about our tribe is the wedding vowels are signed in blood. After the vowels have been read and signed. The couple must then make it official the wife must first have sex with her husband then each member of the tribe according to rank with brothers next in line then cousins. Traditionally this last well into the next day and most of the time a train is run on the wife to speed the process up. I don’t even get to see Jayden till the 5th day of there marriage. The 2nd day Jayden must have sex with all allies of tribe unlike family members allies are allowed to pick the location and positions also the sex is unsupervised and often includes drugs to help the new wife relax. That night is spent touring the place and familiarizing the wife with all the tribe members’ tasks. The 3rd day is important because that is the day the new wife’s hunting skills are tested, and I don’t mean deer hunting the tribes number one job is to defend it’s borders. We are trained as early as three to hunt people. Our tribe is one of the largest and strongest the land can’t support us all so cannibalism is common… to be continued

See What I See

I woke up as if from a deep sleep everything around me seemed different but oddly familiar There is a guy he looks to be in his 20's he has dark hair not sure of his race but he isn't black or white maybe he is mixed or Hispanic but he is standing by my bedroom door watching me, he has a look of distrust on his face. He is supposed to be my big brother Alex. In all I have 3 brothers and 1 sister I'm not sure if I'm adopted but I look different I'm black and called Niki I'm around 15 or so, I have a brother named Avery whom I'm closest with he's around 18 or 19 he is the youngest boy in the family. We are a very close family despite all the incest and abuse. Me and my brother Avery are the two rebellious ones in the house and are always in trouble. For some reason I can't remember my past or why I'm so heavily guarded. Our family is very powerful and feared by many. My father has arranged for me to marry Avery. I'm not sure but I think Alex is jealous. Alex is next in line to inherit our fathers wealth and power he is not the 1st born but my older brother Jason is gay and father doesn't fell he is ready for all this power and wealth. Deep down I know Alex loves me but I can't help but to fear him he takes so much after father, and takes pleasure in killing people. In fact he's planning to kill mother and father... to be continued...
