"Cole," Katy called to her twin brother, who is dragging her as fast as possible right now.
" Cole," she repeated.
He stopped and looked back to see that Katy was breathing heavily and looked as if about to collapse.
"Cole, I can't, I can't run anymore."
Cole looked around and spotted a man hole cover,"here help me lift this and I'll carry you the rest of the way."
Katy nodded as she walked over to the man hole and helped Cole move the cover off. Once it was off Cole helped Katy down and went to put the man hole cover back, when he came back Katy was crying.
"Katy, it's going to be okay he won't hurt you any more."
"How do you know!? How do you know he won't find us and if he does we both know what will happen. I can't do it any longer, I just can't!"
Cole knew Katy had a point, he didn't know if their father would find them or not, but if he did Cole would do anything to protect Katy. He would never let him hurt this sister again, not while he was still alive. Cole could barely remember a time where their father wasn't abusive toward Katy, he knew there was a time but that was long ago. Cole had once tried to stop their dad from hurting Katy but it only made it worse for her, so he would take care of her wounds that she would often get. This made Cole quite experienced in the medical field. He was happy that he could care for his sister, but at the same time upset and angry at how cruel their father was toward her.
Now Cole was carefully carrying Katy through the sewers, stopping every time he heard a noise. He turn to enter a tunnel but stopped upon hearing foot steps. He set Katy down and grabbed a rather large stick to use if needed. He gripped the stick harder as the foot steps came closer.
