Angel
Hello readers, so this is just a quick little one-shot that came into my mind at like 2 in the morning, enjoy.
Kenny sat at his window, waiting, for many things; the yelling from his parents downstairs to stop, his brother to give up on trying to stop his dad from hitting him and Karin, the sun to come up, Karin to stop crying, to finally stop living, but tonight he was mostly waiting for Karin to call her angel like she always does when things get really bad.
There was a soft knock on Kenny's door "Kenny?" the small voice of Karin called.
Kenny opened the door to see his six year old sister clutching the princess doll he got her for her third birthday.
Karin had tears in her bright blue eyes, her shoulder length brown hair was dirty and knotted, her pajama sleeves and legs were about a foot too long and the top could easily be a dress on her small body. She had fresh cuts and bruises from today, covering her scars, just like him and Kevin, today had not been a good day for the McCormick kids.
"What's wrong Karin?" Kenny asked clearly without his hood covering his mouth.
"I'm scared, can I sleep with you?" she asked as she clutched the doll even tighter.
Kenny was confused, if she was scared why didn't she call Mysterion? "Ya, sure"
Karin let out a sigh of relief and walked into the room followed by her brother.
Kenny sat on his bed and pulled Karin onto his lap "what's got you so scared Karin?"
Karin looked up into her older brother's identical blue eyes "is it true what daddy said today Kenny? Is he going to get rid of one of us so we can have more money?"
Kenny sighed, why couldn't his father watch what he says around Karin? "No Karin, all of us are staying here. Those drinks dad has all the time make him a little crazy, mom would never let him get rid of us anyway"
"Okay big brother" Karin said as she smiled at her brother.
"Hey Karin, guess what?" Kenny asked playfully, trying to get his sisters mind off their father.
"What?" Karin asked innocently, a hint of excitement in her voice.
"Kyle and Stan are coming over for a sleepover tomorrow, maybe I can ask Kyle to bring Ike along, if you want."
Karin nodded with excitement "yes please!"
Kenny chuckled at his sister's excitement "okay, I'll ask him tomorrow at school. Just shhh a bit, we don't want dad or mum coming up here"
Karin immediately calmed down and relaxed into Kenny's chest, tired and without a doubt falling asleep.
The two youngest McCormick children sat like that for a while, both slowly falling asleep when something came into Kenny's mind.
"Hey Karin, why did you come to me instead of calling your angel?"
"Because, it's nice to have an angel to talk to but sometimes I just need my big brother… I love you Kenny" Karin said as she fell into a deep sleep.
Kenny was touched by Karin's words, he smiled "I love you too, Karin" then he too, fell into a deep sleep.
R&R please.
