"Big sister!" I was crying. I was scared, and I didn't know why I was. I never cried.
"Anju!" The voice was saturated with relief. "Anju, Anju!" Big sister ran toward me, tears dribbling down her face like a waterfall. She was pretty even then. Beautiful. Big brother Ren was behind her looking utterly bored, but even his face was thankful, though it was turned away. Big sister ran toward me, her arms flying out to her sides like a parachute. She wrapped her arms around me and buried her face in my hair, staining it with salt water.
"Anju, I told you that you mustn't let go of big sister's hand! Why did you let go, Anju?" She was sad and I was angry with myself for making her feel pain. I reached on hand up to hug her back, then dropped it. It stung with numbness. Big sister is slipping away from me…
Mama and Papa sat beside me. The room was completely dark and big sister Karin was the only one squinting.
Mama whipped out her slipper and flung it for Onee-Chan's face. She staggered over and fell of the chair landing with a thump on the floor her foot twitching. She raised her hand to object and then let it fall. I cracked a tiny smile.
Mama snorted and smacked Papa on the head. "Get me some blood!" She ordered.
Papa grumbled but go and slumped to the attic.
"Okay, Taiya. I love you too. Bye," Big brother purred then snapped his phone shut with a grin on his face. "Perfect. Fresh blood," He licked his lips and I cringed and clutched Bge-Kun tighter to my chest. He complained in turn. I got up and walked to my room, avoiding being tripped by big brothers foot.
Closing the door, I sat on my bed and closed my eyes, placing Bge-Kun beside me.
"Anju, what's wrong with you?" A sleek figure was in the corner beside my computer, staring at me with it's ember eyes.
I rolled up and brought my knees to my chest and let my cheek press to them. "Big sister," Was all I said to him when I realized it was Ren.
He shook his head angrily. "Anju, just because I don't like you and Karin doesn't mean I don't care. What happened?" He whispered. I thought at once this was illusion . Big brother is never compassionate toward his sisters.
I ignored him and pointed slowly toward the hallway. "Nothing. Don't worry about me. I'm fine." I lied. No one needed to think of me, not when big sister wasn't happy. "If anything, big brother, please comfort sister. Please." I murmured. I wanted them to care for Karin more than anything.
He obeyed silently slinking out the door like a panther.
When he was gone, I let myself out.
"B-Big S-S-Sister," I sobbed and pushed my face into my pillow, keeping one arm locked around Bge-Kun. I didn't move for the rest of the night.
