Rising from the Ashes BY Only For You

Horatio charged out like a wrecking ball, smashing through the crowd. No one dared block him, and those who tried were sent flying, their screams trailing behind them.

Abel's mind buzzed as he staggered backward desperately, shouting, "You little bastard, stop it! Stop right now! I'm your brother, your own flesh and blood! H- Horatio! D-Don't-"

Horatio slapped him across the head with a loud slam, and Abel flew straight into the wall. Blood gushed from his scalp as he slumped to the floor.

"Horatio, I'm going to kill you, you fat pig! You're nothing but a freak, a retard, an idiot, a useless piece of trash!" Abel completely lost it, letting all his pent-up contempt and resentment for his brother pour out in a vicious torrent.

Horatio's eyes turned blood-red with rage. "Abel, you made me do this! I'm not a freak, and I'm not useless trash! I'm not..."

He completely lost it, lunging forward and grabbing Abel by the leg. Then, he slammed him down with devastating force.

Abel hit the ground with a sickening thud, his internal organs jumbled from the impact as he lay motionless, barely clinging to life. Thick streams of blood gushed from the corners of his mouth.

"Stop it, Horatio! Stop right now, damn it!" a voice commanded from behind them. "He's your brother, you monster! How dare you attack your own family!"
