Shadows Of Suspicion

episode 1

The time was around 5 am or so in the morning, I was asleep in my bedroom on the second floor of my step-family's house. Yes that's right I am adopted, along with my twin sister Nina, she had the same face as me. The only difference between our faces were our eyes. She had red coloured eyes, I on the other hand had blue eyes. My hair colour was blue as well along with Nina's. She was a few minutes older than I was.

You might be wondering why we are adopted. Well, the answer is that our parents dead 4 years ago. Their death came as shocking news for both me and Nina. She especially had it easier to deal with it, after a few days or weeks she had already gotten over it I on the other hand am still destroyed by it. I ask myself everyday how it happened..

How they just... dead out of nowhere..

We were never told the truth of what had cussed the death of my parents. Only that a fire started on the fifth floor of their office building. I just couldn't believe that story, not without finding out for myself.

Taking in a deep breath

Yes there was a fire, yes it did destroyed the office building were both my parents worked at for 15 years. But I can't believe it,

Maybe it was just my mind playing with me

I couldn't tell if it was or not

While thinking all of this, I didn't notice someone entering my bedroom

" Brother wake up, it's time to get ready for school"

I opened my eyes only to find my sister Nina, she was already ready for school

She had full school uniform, ready for what is our first day in highschool.

But unlike her, I wasn't so happy for it. After taking in a deep breath before getting up, sitting on the side of the bed staring at her with little to no emotion on my face

"Are you alright brother? You don't look too well"

" No no, I'm fine just been overthinking that's all "

" Oh, well you should get ready for school, Okay. We can't be late for our first day of school "

" Yes, I get it. No need to remind me about it "

" Just making sure "

Taking in another deep breath, I got up and walked towards the window opening it before walking towards the bathroom.

Nina had already left by this time. Leaving me alone with my thoughts..

I stayed in the bathroom for about 15-20 minutes before coming out wearing school uniform

Although I didn't really like the uniform, I can't complain about it. It's all I got

After taking my bag and leaving my room walking down the hallway, I reached the stairs going down to the first floor. There I find Nina eating breakfast along with my step-sis Alexander she is a kind person when she wants to be. And very smart at that, although she doesn't really like me for some reason. Only caring for Nina. But I honestly don't care, as long as she takes care of my sister for me.

They were both eating breakfast while talking to each other. Not wanting to get included between the two, I walked towards the kitchen where I found my step-mom Lucia. She was a kind person unlike her daughter,

She saw me entering as she smiled calling me over with her hands.

I walked up to her, as she hugged me before whispering something to me

"Good morning Yuki, how was your night?"

I didn't know why but her voice always made me feel comfortable and calm, I couldn't really put it in to words, but it felt peaceful

"Good morning to you as well mom, and my night was as usual."

"You should really stop overthinking at night "

"So you know?"

" I have known you since you got to this house.. "

"Well I'll try to get more sleep tonight okay mom"

"That would be nice dear, now I need you to do something for me. "

She stopped hugging me before turning around to get something. Before turning back to me with a plate full of my favorite food…

"Here have it, it's all yours"

Her voice came out sweeter more caring I would say. And after Looking her in the eyes, I smiled before thanking her

"Thank-you for this mom, 'sob' you really know how to make me feel little…"

Although I had tears they were of happiness not sadness

"It's my pleasure dear, you are my son. I'll always be your mother whether it's by blood or not."

After that put my food on the table before I hugged her tightly

"Thank-you mom...."

"It's my pleasure dear, now go eat with your sisters okay"

"Yes, but can I talk with you when I get back from school today? "

"Oh? Sure we talk when you get back home alright"

"Thanks, I'll be taking my leave then. See you later today "

After talking with my step-mom, I walked out of the kitchen and went to the dining table, where my sisters were

" Morning"

"Hey brother, are you going to join us?"

"Yes, I am. "

"Oh how nice of you to join us, I didn't even think you would actually come with us to school "

"Yes, after thinking about it overnight. I decided to go

with you guys to school. Isn't that great "

"Not really"

"My thoughts exactly "

" Come on guys, it's our first day of High school "

"We know"

We both said at the same time, we may have our differences between each other. But we both agreed that we don't like school that much...

"I give up on both of you!"

"Don't be angry now sis"

"Yeah, we are just joking isn't that right Yuki"

"Yeah, whatever she said "

"You guys think I'll believe that?"

"Not really "

"We ain't actors "

" I hate you two!'

"Aww I love you too sis"

" I don't get it"

" I give up, I'll meet you outside Alex"

She got up and walked out smiling for some reason...

"Why was she smiling?"

"Beats me"

" As usual"

" Yeah whatever, pass me my bag will you"

"Huh?, ah sure I guess "

Looking around, I found her bag on the side of the couch I was sitting on

"Here, take it"

I took it, and gave it to her

"Thanks, I guess I'll be leaving as well, see ya "

"Yeah whatever sis"

And just like Nina, Alexander left as well.

"I guess it's just me and mom left… Breaths in and out, as he relaxes his back on the couch, I need to leave soon as well, I can't be late "

"That's right finish up and get going dear. It's your first day after all"

I didn't notice her at first, she was standing next to the door

"Yes mom, give me a minute to finish my food"

"Alright dear, I'll be outside if you need anything "

" Yes, I'll mom"

After 10 minutes or so I was finished with eating my breakfast, Now that's over and done with, I needed to get going, otherwise I'll be late.

I got up, and started fixing my corral, before taking my bag pack after all was said and, I walked outside.

Breaths in and out deeply taking in the view.

" A breath of a new day, a new chapter"

" Time to get going otherwise-"

"Otherwise I'll be late? Don't worry mom I got it"

episode 2

You did IT

What is a villain?, what is a madman?, what is an antagonist?

Some may describe them as a broken hero, while others may argue that they were not born that way. Instead, they were shaped by those around them. By the place they were in.

It is possible that their upbringing had an impact on them. Rather, without knowing their past, we cannot truly say. Could we?

It's the year 2018. The rain was falling heavily. People were rushing to get to their residences, offices, or apartments. They did not want to get soaked there. As a result, the streets were largely deserted, with a few people going about their daily lives.

The wind was blowing heavily picking up trash in their way, but a single car was parked on the side of the road.

Two Individuals were in it, one of them was on the phone. The other was checking to see if anyone was watching them.

The one on the phone was female, around the age of 28 but she looked younger around the age of 17 or so. With the other one driving being male around the age of 29 but looked to be 20. Her name was Oliver Tempest

The girl had blue hair, and red eyes.

She appeared to be a mature young woman

The man's face was more beautiful than handsome. He had cream-white hair and deep breath-taking Golden eyes. His name was Elijah Tempest

"Alright then, we'll talk to you later bye" she said dropping the phone, I hope this goes well

"So? What did he say" Elijah asked staring out the window

"He said that he should be in the office building.." She responded, closing her window.

"I'll ask you again dear, Are you sure you want to come with me on this? He might do to us, what he has done to them " his voice a bitter sweet concerned about his wife safety then his own, as he asked her

".. sigh.. i-I know.. and I w-want to do this with y-you, I know the risk of this. But I want to hear the truth from him myself.." her voice was a bit shaken, but her Will remade strong and he saw it as he gave a sigh unwilling

" I.. see..sigh.. well we should get going then, before he leaves " he said unwillingly turning on the car as he drove off to their office building which was a few minutes away

At the office building

It was quiet, with only the sound of the cars passing by. It wasn't a work day, as today was the CEO's birthday and he decided to hold off work for today. But those who wanted to come they could.

"This is it.."

"Yeah.. you ready?" Elijah questioned her while unlocking the car doors and turning off the engine.

"Yes, I am," she answered as she got out of the vehicle.

"Let's go then.." please don't be who we think you are.

They walked into the building, once inside they walked up the stairs. Trying not to get caught by him

The building was 17 floors up.. and their office was on floor 15 where the upper ups worked.

They were going up the stairs for a few minutes. On their way up, they passed a few of their office friends greeting them as they passed, they were taking a break since they were the ones who didn't take a break today. Like the others did.

As they got closer to their office, Oliver was feeling uneasy about it and Elijah could see that. Holding her hand tightly to reassure her, after that she calmed down a bit.

As they reached their office floor.. walking towards their office room, they got closer until reaching the door. Opening it they saw no one at first.

But after looking around, they saw him sitting next to the window frame gazing outside.

"Greetings friends.. nice of you to visit me" he said stilling gazing outside

" You know why we are here right.."Elijah questioned him moving in front of his wife in a protective way

"..."she mostly stayed quiet, still not wanting to believe it

"Hmm... let me guess, it's because you guys think that I'm the one who has been killing sinners-

"They were human beings!! Y-you..you bastard!! They were just like you and me!" He cut him off, shouting loudly at him, as he clutched his first in fit of anger

"C-calm..do-wn love.. let him explain it.. sighing while taking in a deep breath tell me..why did you do it" she asked him holding her husband back

" Oh my, you want me to tell you a story? Fine by me.. now how should I begin.." he then explained to them why and how he killed them, he covered most of how he did it. Not leaving much for the mind to wonder. The story telling went on for 2/5 hours by this time the building was empty with only the security guards at the bottom of the building leaving them alone " and that's how we got here, leading to this very moment.."

They were both shocked beyond belief, finding it hard that their childhood friend would do such a thing.

"Now tell me. Will you two join me or not. The call is yours "he said giving them a choice.

They stood there thinking it over. With both knowing how it will affect their children..

They both sighed knowing that this might be the last time.

"..We will not join your twisted plan, I will rather die than do such a thing.."Elijah answered along with his wife nodding to what he said.

"We may have been friends but that doesn't mean we would join you..."She answered after him

"..... well then.. consider..it.. Done." He responded revealing is silent gun shooting both of them..on the legs without hesitation

As both lay down feeling the pain from the shoot, their blood flowing out like a river mixing with one another, as stood up giving both a giving both a gazing ster. One that was filled with nothing but

".. I will enjoy this .." He laughed with a twisted smile

" .. I'm s-sorry..f-for.. leaving you..t-two.. without..a..m-ther.." she cried silently hugging her husband for what will be her last time.. I just hope they can keep you two safe she thought, feeling both her and her husband's death close..

Episode 3

3rd POV:

Everyone was enjoying their time as they walked to school the sun was out everyone was in a good mood as today was the first day back to school.

"Nina-san!! I missed you" a girl said running up to her this made most of the people around to look at them as most of them started talking about who was the one with Nina

Student 1:" who is that with Nina?"

Student 2:"I don't know but they do look alike"

Student 3:"I think I remember him he is her brother who was homeschooled since middle school I don't know what happened tho"

Students:"oh I see"

Student 3:"but we should stay away from him, they say that he is bad luck"

Student 2:" oh really now, he is one of those lets go then "

Student 1:" yeah let's go "

As everyone around talked about him he was listening and heard it all from the girls bad mouthing him the same with the boys

"Sigh.. "he just sighed trying to not mind it

" Oh, hey Shuna, it's good to see you again! "Nina responded, greeting her friend

"The same here Nina, and if you don't mind me asking who might this be? "She asked looking at Yuki

"Oh yes this is my brother Yuki, Yuki this is my friend Shuna" she said introducing them to each other

"Oh it's nice to meet you Yuki, I'm a good friend of Nina here"she said with a smile

"Likewise shuna" he said without much interest

"Yuki we have to go, I will see you in class Okay?"she said and walked away with shuna

"Nice meeting you!"shuna said following Nina

"Well, I guess I will have to find my way around here, she didn't even tell me which classroom I have to go to sigh.... my past is my lesson, my present is my gift and I guess my future is my motivation"he said walking into the school

High School ( hallway)

08:04 am

Yuki POV:

[ These hallways are confusing the hell out of me] walking through them was a headache in of itself, I didn't even know where the exit was anymore. I was truly lost [ this school is too big for me, how many students come here again?] I was wandering around the school for a very good 5 minutes or so, and all I knew was that I will be late for my first day.

[ This should be it right] walking in one of the class rooms I saw that they was no one in the classroom in fact I haven't seen other students for a while now [where is everyone?] leaving the classroom I started walking back to where I come from.

The hallway was quiet I didn't see anyone which was surprising since a while ago they were a lot of students here [ I am on the second floor maybe they are outside?] I started walking to the windows opening one of them to get a better look outside and just as before I saw no one [what am I doing wrong here] thinking that I didn't see that there was someone else behind me

"Hey! you what are you doing here?, the school assembly is about to start" turning around I saw what looked to be a girl my age she had long pink/ red hair going down her back, she had a growing body

"Oh ahh sorry about that it's just that I'm new here and I don't really know my way around yet" trying my best to sound as sorry as I possibly can.

"Ooh I see (looking him up and down from head to toe) well then follow me

Everyone else is at the hall assembly " walking away with a little red face I just followed her

"By the way what's your name newbie?"she asked while giving me a side eye

"My name is.... it's Yuki.."I don't feel comfortable enough to really tell her my name, but I managed, she was nice so far

"I have heard that name from someone before "she said thinking about it while my heart ran cold

"W- where..d-did.. you hear..it. From?" My hands were shaking but she couldn't see it

"Oh I heard it from velzard-san today when she got here I guess it's you she was talking about "she said not noticing the horror Yuki had behind her.

"Oh I see.....let's continue"I wasn't really in a good shape just from hearing what she said

" This is it" after a few minutes of walking we made it to the assembly

As we walked in the room was full with students I could even see Alexander on the other side and while looking closely I saw that I was also being watched everywhere I looked I saw someone watching me, talking about me, some even laughing.

But I just didn't want to deal with it so I just stayed quiet and waited there with the girl who I forgot to ask her name [how did I even forget to ask her name] hating myself won't help me much

"Yuki! I finally found you"  before I could turn around to see my older sister running at me hugging me in front of everyone who was watching

"Alexander? " I asked her since I couldn't see her as she was hugging me from behind but I could still see her long beautiful dark blue hair

"Yes brother" she said relaxing her head on my shoulder while everyone else watched even the other girl

"Everyone is watching us you know "I said relaxing my head this time on hers.

"So? Let them watch " she said as we stood there with the other girl wondering what was happening

With the other students as Alexander hugged Yuki in front of them

Student 1:"what is happening?!, why is our queen hugging some guy"

Student 2:" I don't know but I don't like it one bit"

Student 3:"we should do something about this we can't let a nobody like him have our queen"

Student 4: look at that poor guy who thinks he is the king because our queen hugged him? hahahaha "

Student 5 (girl):"that new guy is kinda cute, but it's too bad he is with those girls "

Student 6 (girl):"I know we could have made him our worker haha"

Student 5 (girl):"we can always take him from them~"

Student 6(girl):"Yeah I need someone new to do my homework"

I could still hear some of what they were saying but I didn't let it get to me

"Sis where are the others "I asked feeling better in her arms

"I think they are all up front, we should probably get there ourselves, follow me "she said letting go of the hug and walking towards the front of the assembly

"Oh and before I go can I get your name "I finally asked her, she was still waiting for me

"Oh my name is....Gracia nice meeting you Yuki"she said waving bye to me while she left going back to her work

[She was nice I want to meet her again] thinking those thoughts I followed Alexander, and passing through the students we finally got to the front as I saw velzard talking to a red head guy, and close by was my in-law...

"I'm telling you we will win sports day this year I can feel it"the red head said talking to velzard who was having a cold look as all the guys around her were looking at her

"Can we tho?"she said not fully believing him

"Hahaha come on now velzard you know better than him that we will be winning this like every year to date "the guy with yellow hair said feeling it in his blood

"Oh shut up Rudra you can't always win you know " the red head said

"Oh why don't you give up gii it's been three years now and you still haven't won" the one who has been named Rudra said

"The same goes for you " the one named gii said

"Why don't you two shut up already "velzard said with an even icer look in her eyes backup by her already cold voice, both gii and rudra stopped talking in fact they both stopped doing anything

"Hey Velz, are there giving you problems again "Alexander said walking towards them with me following right behind her

"Oh yeah they have been giving me headaches since this morning, and Yuki!"she said hugging him same as Alexander but much shorter" how has your first day been so far "she had a big smile on her face as Rudra and gii just watched

"It's been good mostly I guess " I said standing next to Alexander

"Who might you be?"the red head guy asked me in a causal voice walking towards me

"He is my bestie younger brother Yuki Mori" velzard said happily

"Oh yes the one you have been talking about since this morning " gii stopped and thought for a moment before continuing" hey Yuki I have a really good deal for you, mind joining the student council? " after him saying that I was the one in deep thought [ me. A member of the student council? I don't think I can do that]

"Sorry GII but I will have to say no I do appreciate you asking me to join but I'm not ready for that yet [nor will I ever be]" after rejecting his deal I was about to leave

"Hmm you have grown up a bit when was the last time I saw you again I think it's been a good three years "Rudra who hasn't said anything to me being to talk

"Yes but I haven't changed, I'm still the same as before "I was trying to avoid any further questions about the past I didn't really want to go back there, but I guess God was with me as the assembly finally started

As everyone in the hall looked at the stage, the principal started talking about stuff, and after 30 minutes or so two more people came up

Principal :"and last but not least I will like to welcome our chairman, and one of our shareholders" after that both the chairman and shareholder stood up and walked forward, I for one didn't know the principal but I as hell knew the shareholder

Chairman:"greetings students I am the chairman of this school I'm sure most of you already knew that and the man besides me is our biggest shareholder his name is" as I looked closely I could see perfectly his dark blue/black long hair with a face that looks both male and female he was wearing full black " is Velda nava " after saying his name he just smiled looked at velzard then Alexander and finally at me, at first he looked surprised but got over it as him and the chairman left

And after a while everyone was sent back to their classes I had already said bye to velzard and Alexander and at least they told where my classroom was.

High School, classroom H1A

08:59 am

[This is it] thinking about it I entered the room there was no teacher yet but all the students were here looking at me [sigh] but hope was not over yet as I saw Nina coming towards me

"You finally came, welcome brother I saved you a place at the back next to her"looking at where she was pointing I saw a blue hair girl who was drawing something and the chair was open next to her, I just walked past all the others and sat down next to her and to my left was a window

"Hey there"I said taking my seat as she looked at me

"Oh hey I didn't see you there, are you new?" she asked putting her pan in her mouth relaxing her head on her right arm on the table facing me

"Y-yes I am new here " I was just surprised by how she holds herself

"Oh I see then I welcome you to our school my name is Rain nice to meet you "she was different...to say the least

" Likewise, My name is Yuki.."I said giving her back a smile
