(Rei and Zero said they were killing machines in their head, they didn't say it out loud)
Rei and Zero looked at Alice when she said they were different and scoffed, making them put on their empty and heartless expression. "Your right, we are different. The only thing that makes us the same is our curse, but you...." Zero shook his head. "You don't know a single thing about us" Zero spoke coldly.
"Ah~ Teenager huh? What is a teenager? What are teenagers supposed to be anyway? Are they a species? We wouldn't really know that. We don't even know what family is. Unless you mean the people that are blood related to you who try to kill you all your life just to take over the family line.... Then sure" Zero said, with hatred in his eyes just thinking about their own family.
"We live to kill people, because our sole purpose for being born was to become killing machines... How we were brought up, was inevitable" Rei said with the same tone of voice as Zero's.
"Let me ask you this... Have you ever lived a life where you couldn't even sleep without having your eyes opened because your own family members are after your life just to take over the family line? Have your parents ever purposely broke your bones? Have they ever purposely stabbed you? Have they ever purposely fed poison to you? Have they ever locked you up and hurt you to the point where you were near death to only stop and let you heal, only to do the same thing over again? Have they ever threatened to kill you and throw you into a den of killers to be tortured just because you called them... What do you call it again Rei?"
"Mom and dad" Rei reminded him.
'Yeah, that... And have you ever been tortured for showing just a hint of emotion on your face? Because in our family, nothing but killing was aloud. We couldn't speak, we couldn't show our emotions, we couldn't do anything. In this family... It is survival. If you die, then you weren't worthy of being born in the family and your body would be thrown out to the beast or disintegrated by fire. And if your useless, you were killed..." Zero spoke with malice to the point where it would made you feel paralyzed with fear. His expression was void and his voice was cold, as if he was nothing but a machine with no feeling. A killing machine... They weren't called that for nothing.
When Zero finished speaking, he smiled at Rei and walked away without another word. Rei looked at Alice and followed behind her brother and paused for a bit when the saw someone new walk in to register. Not in the mood, Zero plastered on a fake smile which caused people to avoid him when he walked by and sat down. "You said too much..." Rei spoke quietly. Zero didn't respond and just crossed his arms and closed his eye to calm himself as Rei sat down next to him and put her hand on his. The cold feeling of her temperature, slightly calmed him down for the time being and he put his hand on top of hers gratefully.
