[1932]
"This way big brother!" A small girl shouted back to her older brother, wavy blue hair flying back as she ran, her sapphire eyes twinkling with mischief "Father wants us to see something!"
Her older brother ran after her, huffing as he found he couldn't catch up to her "Dawn! Wait!" He cried, chuckling as she stopped and stared at him "Don't you think... Its one of his inventions again?" He ran a hand through his viridescent hair, looking at his sister with curious emerald eyes.
Dawn pouted "Maybe, or maybe he just wants to say he loves us?" She suggested, giggling as he sweatdropped "Come on Drew! I want to see what he wants!" Without another word she ran off, leaving Drew stunned.
"Wait Dawn! Don't go off by yourself!" He shouted to her, watching as her figure disappeared, he sighed "Dammit" He straightened up and looked around, feeling a dark presence in the area "I'm meant to be protecting her, not dawdling about" He muttered to himself, running after his sister ignoring the feeling he was being watched.
"Dawn!" He called out, looking around as a deep fog surrounded them "Dawnia!" He shouted once again, gaining no reply, worry started to take over.
Drew continued to walk on, not knowing where to go, he just let his feet carry him.
"Drew over here!" A cheery voice called out, making his head whip to his sister, who was making her way through the fog, a bright smile on her face "Whats up with you? You look shaken"
Drew scowled "Why didn't you answer me Dawn!" He snapped "Also! You shouldn't run off in fog like this!"
"What fog?" She asked, furrowing her eyebrows "And you didn't call me" She muttered "Come on, help me find father!"
Drew stood still "There's no fog, i didn't call you?"
"Why would you call me? I was right next to you i went a bit ahead to see if i could find the lab, cant you remember? Again, come on! Lets find father!" Dawn tugged on his wrist, giggling as he stared at her blankly "You must be tired, you only got a few hours of sleep last night. Don't let the warm weather get to you" Another tug on his wrist and he still wouldn't move, she glared at him, annoyed "Drew, come on!"
But it wasn't warm, it was freezing... The middle of winter, damn, it was snowing yesterday!
"Drew? Come on!" She repeated, this time succeeding in getting him to move "God, you're stubborn" She giggled, holding his hand "For a moment there, i thought you was scared, obviously there's no fog! Our land is just so big, its hard to see everything" She stated "Obviously" She muttered again, with her free hand playing with the rim of her top.
He stared at her "Is something wrong Dawn?" He simply ignored the earlier conversation, Dawn was right, Drew was tired, he couldn't sleep last night since he was hearing noises coming from the attic... Dawn is a much lighter sleeper than Drew, so of course he was hallucinating, not that he thought that at first.
"Is father mad Drew?"
"In what sense" He said instantly, watching as Dawn's face screwed up in thought.
"Mad... Crazy, is he crazy?" She asked, gripping his hand tighter "He's always talking about reincarnation, and the way in the future, we may become flesh eating creatures of the undead, is he crazy Drew?"
Drew continued walking, not looking to her "No, he's still mourning over mother, he is just trying to find a way to occupy himself, he is afraid to show any emotion; to cry" He said simply.
Dawn didn't look at him either, frowning as he mentioned their mother "The lab should be around here somewhere"
Drew blinked a few times, looking around "Don't you feel enclosed?" He asked, still not looking to Dawn, who stared at the ground.
"What do you mean Drew?" She asked him, moving a stubborn strand of hair from her face and tucking it behind her ear.
Drew looked around, hearing rustling, he turned back to Dawn, who was gone "Dawn?!" He looked around frantically.
"I'm here Drew! God, calm down!" Dawn growled from beside him, where she was before "You're starting to get on my nerves"
Drew sighed "Sorry"
Dawn huffed "I want Ami" She said softly.
"Where is she?" Drew asked, staring at her as her face twisted with thought.
"The Blue Room"
Drew facepalmed "I told you not to go in there, its dangerous!" He glared at her "It's a really weak building Dawn! Never tell anyone about it! We could get into big trouble"
"Blood" She said calmly, looking into Drew's emerald eyes "She was covered in blood Drew, she wasn't moving, she was dead"
Drew stared at her, his eyes wide with shock "W-what?! Why didn't you-"
"I killed her Drew, i didn't mean to, she bit me, so i hit her with a baseball bat; your baseball bat"
Blood ran cold through Drew's body as Dawn gave him a ice cold stare "Y-you-"
"Are you okay Drew? I know i'm sexy, but please, no need to stare" She said with a smirk, but his shocked expression didn't falter "Drew?"
"W-why would you do that to A-Ami?" He stuttered, her face twisted in confusion.
Dawn rubbed her temple "Why bring Ami into this?"
"Y-you hit h-her with a baseball b-bat"
"Why would i do that!" Dawn shrieked, making Drew wince "Don't accuse me of things! Ami is with father!" Dawn stormed off, leaving Drew stunned.
Just the weather...
"Dawn wait up!" Drew cried, running after Dawn, who ran away.
"No! Leave me alone! I'll find father myself!"
Within a few moments she was out of sight, making Drew shake "Dawn? Dawn?! Dawn!" He shouted, surely she's fine, i mean, apparently to her, there's no fog...
Drew frowned, feeling a cold breeze blow against him made him shiver and goosebumps to appear through his smooth skin.
Drew jumped as a scream sounded in the distance "Dawn!" He cried, running towards the sound, sickness filled his gut as he ran closer to the source of the sound as it died in the atmosphere, that was until he saw her...
Body, Dawn's body lay lifeless on the dusty ground, blood trickling from her arm, forehead and throat; which seemed to be torn out. Dawn didn't move, her mouth hung open as if she was going to scream again, but it was too late, part of her top and skirt were torn, showing many small scratches, Small tear marks dotted the dirt, along with the pool of blood she lay in, which was smeared into the dust, like someone was trying to get it off.
Drew took a step back, before plunging towards her "Dawn!" He cried once again, kneeling beside her, feeling for a pulse, which was long gone. Drew stared at her small frame, tears filled his eyes, as he lay his head on her stomach, letting them roll down his cheeks "Y-you can't-"
A few moments later he noticed something else, the blood on the ground was smeared into writing, which could only be known as Dawns.
R-U-N
Drew stood, but before he could do as he was told to, was knocked down by a strong force, screeching in pain as something tore through his shoulder, opening the flesh up and breaking through bone, he was then flipped over, with his eyes closed, he couldn't see who or what it was. All his thoughts were thrown out of the window as the creature tore through his throat easily, Drew choked, slowly dying, his own blood mixing with his sisters, he knew it was no use, but he lashed out, kicking the beast slightly, though it didn't have much effect.
All that entered his vision,
were a pair of blinding amber eyes...
'Death is something to fear, not being able to interpret what comes next. Only brave people can accept it when it comes to them'
