Brother
Dear Brother,
You say I'm a Hunter, but where do I belong? I was a freak in school who loved learning and trying to be normal. When I’m home and hunting, I’m nothing but a monster that needs to vanish. How could I forget, big brother, that you were the one who truly raised me. Brother, I’m sorry for the pain you’ve suffered because of me, I’m sorry for the shame I’ve brought to you and to our family's name; I’m sorry for all the lives that were taken because of me and my selfish ways, I’m sorry for the ungodly amount of times I’ve disappointed you. All I ever wanted to do was save you and the people on this planet, but, I see now, I’m not the one the world needs, that person is you, brother.
So why? Why would you keep saving me? I’ve done nothing but cause pain and suffering not only you but to the people we meet. Brother, you’ve taught me everything I now know while we were trying to find dad. On the trip, you were there to support me, you cared for me, you loved me enough to want me back and to see the good in me when no one else did. So why big brother, why did you sacrifice yourself for me? My life isn't worth anything, but not only did you save me, you saved earth by putting hell back in its place. This is why, big brother, I began believing in hope again. I’m a monster with unbelievable power, I’m the one who brought the darkness here in the first place and I’ve done nothing but make your life harder. I brought all this tragedy so why do you continue to forgive me? Everything you’ve gone through was because of me, so I apologize, but I really need you the most right now. I’m sorry brother, but I just couldn’t fight the demons within me. How could I win anyway? I’m not strong, I’m nothing compared to you big brother, I’m unstable because of what I’ve done.
You’ve should of just left me when we said our goodbyes, but as we did I realized just how strong and brave you’ve become. Brother, you found love, when you needed it the most. I’m sorry brother, apologizing for an eternity will never be enough, saving you here and now, is why I’m still here. As I fall deeper into this pit of darkness, I think of it as my punishment as well as a way to apologize to the whole world for what I’ve done to it. Please brother, I beg of you, please forget me; I’m nobody worth remembering. Trying to remember me will only bring you agony.
So I say this now, please forget and never forgive me. Life your life to the fullest, don't look back on the past, and forgive yourself; for you’ve come along way since the beginning. You have so much strength in you big brother, use that to make your memories last, and use it to remember what it feels like to love again. I love you brother and I always will. I regret hurting you in any way and once again, I apologize for my ignorance, stupidity, and selfishness. So for the first time brother……….Thank you.
