4. Past 2

Her clothes were in tatters and she had tears running down her face!

For a moment, Remus couldn't comprehend what he was looking at.

After a few seconds, he didn't want to!

His mind was filled with endless rage and fury!

He shouted in a voice filled with anger and told them to stop!

The boys finally noticed Remus standing on the door.

But looking at his small figure, decided to ignore him and continued ripping Ahenna's clothes.

Remus looking at what happened and stopped speaking.

The next moment, reasoning left his mind!

Instinct took over!

He took a step forward and took the rusty looking metal pipe lying near the door.

He started running and bashed the pipe on the head of the boy standing nearest to him and was laughing with a lecherous look on his face.

The boy collapsed on spot. But before he could even fall, Remus had hammered the pipe into another boy's face!

The other kids finally notice what Remus had done and had bewildered expressions on their faces.

But it was too late.

Before they could get on their feet and take positions, Remus had attacked another boy on the back of his neck, the pain from the concussion caused him to scream and pass out.

The next victim was the one who was holding Ahenna's legs.

Remus attacked him with a fist to the nose, followed by a strike on the chest!

Now, there were 8 others left.

Remus took a sword stance with the pipe and took a step forward.

His target had enough time to prepare and had extended his hands out, he was trying to catch the pipe.

But the things he imagined never happened!

As Remus delivered his strike, he tried grabbing the pipe but the strike was too fast and unbelievably strong. He couldn't stop the strike and it landed straight into his face.

Fortunately, he didn't faint.

But that was what was unfortunate for him, because now he had to feel the pain!

The next person to take action was not Remus but a boy who was standing in a corner of the room.

He also had a wooden stick in hand.

Apparently, he was the leader of this group.

He was famous for being short tempered. On top of that, he had been practicing martial arts from an early age, which made him even more scary, as he was really good at fighting!

Most of the people in this room were his followers.

The moment he took action, he signaled 2 of his followers to attack as well. The two who received his orders, ran bare handed towards Remus.

It took only an instant for Remus to understand what was happening.

He swiftly took a paperweight lying on the table next to him and threw it toward one of the followers' crotch.

By the time he threw it, the leader was upon him!

He knew he couldn't block the stick approaching him, as the leader had more power than him.

So he decided to deflect it, and the direction he deflected it to, was from where the other follower was coming.

The stick landed on his leg. As the leader had used all of this power in this strike, it was quite lethal.

Kreeeaak

This was the sound of bones breaking. The follower held his leg and the pain caused him to faint.

The leader noticed what happened and raged!

He couldn't accept a kid using his own strike to attack his follower. He took the stick which was in a sorry condition and took action.

But Remus was faster.

He had already decided the next set of actions and had used the force from the strike he delivered to the stick to take a 360 degree turn and delivered another strike to the leader's neck.

It landed on the spot he wanted and the leader fell without even making a sound!

All this took a bit to explain but had occurred in less than 3 seconds!

The guy who had a paperweight thrown at his crotch was lying on the ground, crying in agony.

The one who was busy tearing Ahenna's clothes couldn't take it anymore.

He told the one holding Ahenna's hands to help him as looking at what happened to their leader made him a bit more alert.

Remus threw the pipe towards the former's temple.

The guy tried dodging, but it landed on his left eye instead!

Looking at what happened, the other guy hesitated and in that moment of hesitation, Remus pounced at him!

He delivered a kick to the leg the guy was using to stand up, which destroyed his posture. Then he punched him in the face, right on the nose.

But instead of falling, the guy stood up. Scared out of his wits, he ran towards the door.

Remus didn't stop him and looked at the 3 left.

Two of them looked at him while the one left, closed his eyes, covered his ears and crouched on the floor mumbling to himself.

He was the only one who was not one of the people who followed the leader.

He had come here, joining the flow, expecting to get a chance to abuse Ahenna after all the others were done with her!

The two who looked at Remus were scared as well.

They had seen him defeat 8 people who were much older than him, that too with precise attacks.

They had seen their leader fall with one hit!

They knew they couldn't defeat him and from the look in Remus's eyes, they could tell that he would not allow them to run away and thus decided to wait for him to deliver his punishment.

Remus didn't let go this chance.

He took the pipe and delivered 3 consecutive strikes to the face of one of them!

The other one received multiple strikes to the stomach.

By now, Remus had regained a bit of his reasoning.

He stopped and decided to leave the last one unhurt.

He wanted him to explain what happened to Chen and the others.

And he wanted to have as many people as possible, look at his state.

He wanted everbody to know that this is what would happen to you, if you even thought about hurting Ahenna!

Moments later, Chen and the servants came running in.

They saw what happened and were shocked.

Fortunately, they were able to understand what happened and didn't say anything to Remus.

Although some of them thought that what he did was a bit extreme, when they looked into his eyes, they decided to keep their thought to themselves.

The incident came to an end.

All the boys who tried to abuse Ahenna, were handed over to the police. Chen decided to let the police decided their punishment.

Strangely, the incident didn't have a negative effect on Ahenna. Rather, she started smiling and sticking to Remus even more.

Looking at her expression, Remus became worried and asked if she was okay?

As a reply, she smile and told him that the figure of him getting furious and beating up the bad guys for her sake was truly heroic.

That her little brother was the best in the world!

This caused him to think that she was a bit weird.

Afterwards, their lives became peaceful once again. Until,

Remus was now 13 years old. He was attending school as usual.

On the sports day, he was participating in multiple events.

This was going to be like any other sports day but this time, Ahenna, who was now 16 years old, was coming to watch him participate.

This made him really excited!

She, who went to an all girls school and held a position of responsibility, was never able to attend any events that happened in his school.

But this time, she took special permission from her principal.

And what happened was that with a brain filled with excitement, he performed a bit too well!

He went ahead and won all the events he was competing in, with overwhelming ability.

The students and teachers who saw this were left with open mouths.

This, in turn caused most of them to think that Remus had been deceiving them.

Although there was truth in what they thought, they took it a step ahead and started saying that he was conceited!

That he was trying to play with their feelings.

Remus, who had been doing this in fear of being isolated for being different, thought, this is was ridiculous!

But it didn't just stop there, a lot of his school friends started ignoring him.

He would often find people talking about him and dissing him.

There were people who got interested in him because of it as well, but Remus hated relationships based on such shallow traits.

All this, caused Remus to hate anything related to physical activities at school.

From then on, he started skipping school on physical examination and sports days.

....... 

Just when Remus was about to celebrate his 15th birthday, his life took another turn.

Ahenna's condition started deteriorating!

She suddenly fell ill!

Chen and Remus took her to the best doctors they could find, but none of them could pinpoint the cause for all this.

She had to go through countless tests. They even took her abroad, in hopes of finding the cause and the cure for her condition!

But all their efforts were in vain. They couldn't  find anything!

After two months of going back and forth from hospitals, Ahenna decided to stop.

When Remus asked for a reason, she said she wanted to live the remainder of her life at home, by his side.

He tried his hardest to convince her to not give up!

But she said that she was not giving up but accepting her fate.

Remus stopped persuading her.

A few days later,

Chen died!

He fell down the stairs and the wound to the head took his life on spot!

A funeral was held. All the kids and servants cried. Remus and Ahenna cried for days.

After they were done with the funeral, it was decided that, with the owner of the orphange gone, the orphanage would be closed down and all the kids would be shifted to other facilities.

Surprisingly, Chen had left all his assets to Remus!

Remus decided to keep half of it for himself and Ahenna and give the other half to all the other children.

He used a part of that money to buy an apartment in a safe area and changed schools.

Remus went to school and Ahenna stayed at home where a part-time maid took care of all her needs.

" huh~ is this that 'your life flashes in front of your eyes before you die' thing? But i am already dead! "

Remus shouted.

He was still in the white space.

Although he couldn't tell how much time had passed, it felt as if it had been hours.

He was getting bored.

" I thought a god would come to receive me after death. Is this it? Am i going to be here forever? "

He was bored and clueless.

When suddenly,

" You are not dead you know. "
