Thanks for reviewing, Marzbar, I wish there were ten of you… Minna mo review!!
=======================================================================
“MJ, are we going to stay here?” the boy, barely four years old, looked up worriedly at his older sister, who bit her nail, eyes too old for a nine year old scanning their surroundings.
“Uh huh, they said we can stay here until we’re big,”
“Are you sure? We’re not going to move around anymore?”
She knelt down and took his other hand. “Don’t worry about it baby, even if we move again I’ll be right with you, I swear”
“Swear on your right leg?”
She smiled and wiped a bit of grime from his cheek. “On both legs” She stood up. “Come on, let’s find out where we’re staying” she tugged on his hand. “Billy?”
She turned back, and her little brother’s face, bruised and bloody, stared back at her with wide, dead eyes.
“Billy! Billy – why – no! Billy!!!!” she shook him by the shoulders but his head just lolled around, eyes staring at her –
=======================================================================
“No, Billy, please no, Billy…”
This time she woke up just whispering into her damp pillow.
She dragged in a breath. Her throat was soar. She stumbled out of bed, wiping at her eyes and eased into the hall, heading for the kitchen. The hall was empty and silent, and she recalled Jason telling her that the vampires slept a bit of a ways away so ‘us undead’ can sleep. The hall was silent and empty, except for a few tossing and turning from rooms, a mumbled ‘another sandwich please” that she could have sworn was Zane, and – whimpers?
She quietly stepped forward and leaned toward the door on her right. Sure enough she could hear muffled sobs. She paused, she wouldn’t want to be barged in on… She chewed her lip and then eased the door open an inch.
She saw Nathaniel’s long hair and abandoned all thoughts of leaving well alone. She practically flew to the bed.
She touched his shoulder gently but he trembled from her. Realizing he was in a nightmare she gripped him firmly and shook him. “Nathaniel! It’s a nightmare, wake UP!” she punched his shoulder and he sprang up, one arm flinging out, banging into her eye.
“Ow! Shit, motherf…” she grabbed her eye. Nathaniel blinked, focusing on her.
“Mare? What…” the terrified look cleared from his eyes, slightly. “Are you okay?”
“Yeah, I’m peachy. Are you okay?” she took his hand, squeezing it comfortingly.
“Yeah, it’s..” he shoo his head.
“They say it helps to talk about it” she cocked her head.
Nathaniel heaved out a shuddering breath. “I had an older brother”
She waited silently.
“His name was Nicholas.
“He was three years older and he always protected me when– he’d always protect me.
“And then…” he stopped. “And then he protected me for the last time.
“He told me to run. I never saw him again.”
By this time she was hugging him, head resting on his shoulder. “Are you sure…?”
“He would’ve found me if he made it.”
They sat silently.
“If only I’d gone back, if I hadn’t run, if I hadn’t left him alon –”
“No, no, shh, ”
“I should’ve gone back!”
“He wouldn’t have wanted you to, he wanted you to be safe, no matter what, he would’ve done anything so you would be safe –”
Nathaniel looked at her. “You’re not talking about Nicholas anymore”
“I don’t want to talk about Nathe, really”
“Okay” he hugged her, a quick squeeze.
She smiled against his shoulder. “Come on, I’ll tuck you in.” he giggled.
She did tuck him in, giving him a quick peck on the forehead.
“Mare?”
“Mmm?”
“Could you… can you stay, until I –”
“I will” she sat on the side of the bed, watching as he closed his eyes and curled on his side.
“Mare?”
“Yeah?”
“You remind me of Nicholas” he murmured, just his breathing slowed into sleep.
She stroked his cheek.
“You remind me of someone too”- You need to be logged in to leave a review for this story.You need to be logged in to leave a review for this story.
