I nodded again. "I loved him. I was devastated after the knife gave me my senses back. It was just another object as soon as it stopped talking. It was in my hand, and there was blood on it. I saw Michael... he was on the floor, dead, with numerous stabs and slashes all over his body. My older brother and sister knew what had happened, I shared with them how inanimate objects could speak to me. My parents, however, didn't know. They thought I was a murderer. My brother and sister were on my side in court, and thanks to them I was sent here instead of jail. I'm glad that I wasn't sent to jail, but I'd much rather have been born a normal child." I looked up into Odysseus' eyes. "You know, that's a pretty name, Odysseus. It sounds exotic, like Ancient Greek. You know, how some people had 'eus' in their name, like Perseus and Prometheus." My voice suddenly changed, it was lighter and calmer. I desperately wanted to change the subject. "And thanks. For you know, being able to talk to you when I need to."
Jason
Horrid nightmares filled his slumber. He saw his sister, Melanie, getting raped again. He launched at the rapist, as if in slow motion, with a fist ready to kill. Suddenly, his two friends slammed Jason against the wall, almost making him black out as his head bounced against the hard brick. He roared and tried to break free, but the two were strong. Melanie screamed and Jason bellowed again. The guy on the right drew a dagger out of a hidden sheath on his wrist and plunged it into Jason's stomach. He yelled with pain and the guy withdrew it, then stabbed again in a different spot in his stomach. Melanie's scream went short. The two guys released him and ran with the rapist. He crawled over to her body and cried for her. He was crying still when the police found them 4 hours later. Her beautiful hair was wet with his tears. The police pried him from her body and took him to court. For some reason, he was put into the asylum instead of jail.
Jason awoke, drenched in sweat. He pulled his shirt up and looked at the bright pink scars on his stomach and nearly threw up. "Melanie... my sister." He murmured. "I wear these scars for you, as a badge of my servitude. (Is that a word?) I will find that rapist and get vengeance. Just as soon as I get out."
