My Dead Brother Possessed a Dog to Steal My Life Chapter 12
After that, Cochran really died. He died inside Teddy's body.Whenever anyone asked, my parents simply claimed the dog had run away, and they couldn't find him.Nobody knew the truth. Only they knew that their son was buried in an unmarked dirt pit on the outskirts of the city, without so much as a tombstone.After that, Mom's mental state completely fell apart.She started having hallucinations, convinced she could hear a dog barking in the house or feel something brushing against her legs.In the middle of the night, she would bolt upright in bed, yelling Cochran's name, only to realize the room was empty.Dad aged rapidly, too. Most of his hair turned gray, his back became hunched, and he even started limping. The bite wound on his hand kept getting infected, and it never fully healed.They came looking for me once. They waited outside my office building for me.When I came downstairs, I spotted Mom standing by the entrance. She had lost a considerable amount of weight, her

"He bit us," Mom continued. "He bit your dad, and he bit me.""We asked the shaman to come over, but he said there's no stopping the life swap anymore. Cochran's consciousness is now completely bound to the dog. Either we keep letting him drain our life force and wait for him to become human again after 49 days, or…"She paused, her voice dropping even lower."Or… We end him ourselves."Dad's voice rang out from somewhere in the distance on the other end of the phone, as if he were yelling from another room."Stop talking to her! Hang up!"Mom ignored him and continued, "Erika, I know I made a mistake. I really do. Can you please come home? Come home and help me. I can't take this anymore."Your brother… He's not a dog. He's a person. But he keeps biting me…"Her voice began to tremble as she dissolved into heavy, breathless sobbing.I listened quietly without saying a word.Sunlight filtered through the window, falling across the table and onto the back of my hand. It felt s

Dad's texts were far more direct."Come home. We already gave the dog away. He won't bite you anymore. Just come home. Your mother and I can't live without you."I looked at the messages and ignored every single one of them. The last one, however, had been sent at 3:00 am. It was clearly from the shaman."Erika, your parents have already started suffering the backlash. The dog bit your Dad's left hand at 1:00 am and left a deep wound. Your mom held the dog all night as she cried. She can't even get out of bed now."The life-swap is irreversible. If you don't go back, they will die in your place. The choice is yours."I stared at the message, my finger hovering above the screen.Outside, the sun was rising. Golden light streamed through the window, falling across the floorboards in neat squares.I set the phone down and went into the kitchen to pour myself a glass of water.The water was scalding hot, steam still curling off the surface.Holding the glass, I stood by the wind

I didn't answer.Then, a text from Mom came in."Erika, I'm begging you. Please come home. We don't blame you for what happened to Teddy anymore. Come home, and we can talk this through."I still didn't reply.A second text followed almost immediately."Your brother can't carry on the family line anymore. You're all your father and I can rely on for the rest of our lives. You can't just abandon us."Staring at the screen, I suddenly laughed out loud. By the end of it, tears were finally streaming down my face. It wasn't because of sadness. No, I just found it all utterly absurd.They valued their son's life more than mine. They valued carrying on the family line and preserving the precious Ceberano name more than they valued me.And now that their son was no longer an option, they finally remembered they had a daughter."Rely on me?" I muttered the words to myself, wiped away my tears, and shoved the phone into my pocket. "Too late."I flagged down a taxi and gave the driver

"When I was eighteen years old, Cochran wanted to buy a phone that cost nearly two thousand dollars for school. You transferred the money to him without blinking an eye," I continued. "Meanwhile, I paid my own college tuition with student loans and covered my living expenses by working part-time jobs."I never held any of it against you. I kept telling myself that you were my parents. You brought me into this world and raised me, so even if you favored him, that was fine. At the end of the day, I was his big sister."But you don't get to take my life."Mom broke down crying. "Erika, we didn't mean it like that… We really didn't have a choice back then—""Didn't have a choice?" I repeated, cutting her off."When you sought out the shaman, did he not tell you what swapping lives would ultimately cost? When you agreed to it, did you not know it would kill me?"She had nothing to say. Because she knew. She knew everything; she'd simply chosen to play dumb.Dad stood there, his l

It was just like in my previous life.Back then, all I did was mention rehoming the dog, and Dad had slapped me across the face. This time, I went straight to neutering Teddy, and I still got slapped.If I was going to get slapped either way, why not at least enjoy myself?"Do you fucking know something?" Dad snarled, finally putting two and two together.Shaking with rage, he jabbed a finger in my face and spat, "Do you have any idea how important this dog is to your brother? Do you have any idea what you've just ruined?"Mom clutched Teddy to her chest, sobbing so hard she could barely catch her breath."It's over… It's all over… The shaman said whatever happens to the dog happens to him as well…"Her head jerked up as she glared at me. Tears were still streaming down her face, but the look in her eyes had completely changed—from heartbreak to pure venom."Did you do this on purpose? Did you fucking do this on purpose?" she shrieked.I looked at her and smiled. "Yes."The a
