Chapter 1 Only Sin
CATHY'S POV
Fiddling gently with my fingers, I had my head on my desk, drawn away from everyone in the class as I drown deeper in my world. Different scenarios played through my mind, of myself being happy, playing with other kids my age and enjoying the youthful blood of youths.
A single tear rolled down my face as these thoughts crossed my mind because I knew these dreams were something that would never be realized. I was born different from other kids, I was born strong and as twins. I had given all my privilege to another baby that came out of the same womb with me... She took everything away from me.
"Hey, Cathy!"
Hearing my name, I immediately wiped away the tears and raised my head to see my twin sister, Dinah. "Hi, Dinah. What are you doing here?" She was supposed to be in the field, playing with other kids in our class.
Dinah had a disgusting look on her face as she moved closer to me, she bent down so she could speak into my ears, "I missed you, Cathy. Other kids were boring. I want to play with you," She whispered.
A whirlwind of anger nearly blew me away when I heard those words. I clenched my fist, strongly stopping myself from slapping her hard across the face. "You shouldn't miss me. I'm even more boring than those kids and I don't feel like playing either," I replied through gritted teeth while also making sure my tone wasn't harsh least she escalated the matter.
I just wanted to rest, I wanted to stay away from her and become invisible to everyone around us. I only wanted to stay in my world without the intrusion of anyone who would remind me of my bitter existence...
Dinah smirked evilly "You don't want to play?" She asked and I nodded,
"I don't want to play,"
"But I want you to. You don't have a choice, Cathy." She said coldly and gripped my hand, pulling me up from my seat.
Standing up, I felt extremely dissatisfied and glared at her. "Can you just let me be, Dinah? You have all the kids in the class to play with. Why must you trouble me again? What have I done to deserve this treatment from you? I thought we were twins?" If her meaning of "play" was the usual play, then I would be happy to join as I hated being treated as an outcast by everyone but Dinah did not want to play with me. She only wanted to humiliate me like she always did!
"Twins? Yes, we are," Her gaze turned colder as she replied. "You took everything away from me because we are twins!" She said fiercely and I chuckled inwardly.
Who took everything away from who?
"You took my vitality, making me so weak. Making me visit the hospital all the time. If not for our parents who refused to give up on me, do you know how many times I would have died already?!" Dinah's grip turned tighter as she questioned.
This was it... This was what took my happiness away. This was what froze the youthful blood in me, making me an outcast among my friends and peers. Dinah made me everyone's enemy because of this silly fact!
She took our parents' love, our friends' love, our classmates' love, our teachers' love because of these words. I took away her vitality when we were in the womb, was that my fault? Was I the one who made her weak?
"You don't get to blackmail me with that anymore, Dinah. I'm sick and tired of listening to that never-ending lamentation of yours about how I drained you of vitality when we were younger. I'm sick and tired!" I yelled as I forcefully removed my hand from hers.
Dinah screamed and staggered backwards. She continued moving until she fell on her ass and she screamed again, alerting the attention of everyone in our class who had just returned from the field.
"Why is Cathy bullying Dinah again? Can't she do in a day without hurting her sister? Why is she so evil?"
This was a word from one of my good old friends. She turned against me the moment she started moving with Dinah and the moment she saw her on the ground, she believed I had bullied her again.
"Who is bullying who?" I wished I could ask her but I knew there was no use. No matter how I defended myself in the past, none of them ever believed me and they would never do. Why? Because I was stronger and Dinah was weaker.
"Dinah!"
I was still about to go help Dinah up when I heard a loud voice from the class' entrance and my eyes widened.
My brows furrowed as I raised my eyes to look at the two boys who were standing by the door. They were the hunk of our school, the two most handsome boys who had to do nothing to win the hearts of every female student in the school.
The two people who hated me the most and would appreciate it if I just ceased to exist... The Alpha twin sons, Archer and Grover.
Seeing Dinah on the ground, their handsome faces had an ugly expression as they rushed over to us. Archer quickly helped Dinah up, and handed a handkerchief to her, "Clean yourself up," He said softly.
Grover walked over to me and grabbed my hair, pulling me closer with the hair. The pain made me want to scream but I covered my mouth and glared at him instead "What was that? Were you planning to pull out my hair?" I asked angrily, trying my best to stop the tears that threatened to roll down my face.
"Why are you so wicked, Cathy? Do you want your twin sister to die so badly? Why..."
I wasn't able to hear Grover complete his words when I felt something cold splattering on my head and I shivered bitterly.
My only sin was my existence ~
