There was a knock on the door, causing my brother and I to look up from the tv. "Are you going to get that?" he asked

"Obviously" I sighed "since your to lazy to get up"

I shoved myself off the couch and zipped to the door. I opened it and my smile fell a little "hello Lane" I said, a bit surprised to see the DOD officer standing on our porch...he didn't look happy either.

"Dee" he said just as Daemon suddenly appeared behind me, he looked over my shoulder and nodded at my brother "Daemon. I'm afraid I have some bad new for you"

The man standing behind him stepped forward then, he didn't look to broken up about the news "a body was found in a field in morresfield earlier today" he said, his voice cold and monotone.

"And what does that have to do with us" Daemon asked, tensing all over.

"You don't understand" Lane said, his eyes filling with pity "it was Dawson and some human girl, they were both found, found dead this morning"

He might have said something else but I was beyond hearing, my brother, my twin was dead.

I stumbled backward until my legs wouldn't hold me anymore. I vaguely here daemons pain filled cry and I felt the house shake but my body was shutting down on itself. I could feel my insides crumbling, parts of my soul falling off.

Dawson. Dawson was gone and he was never coming back. I flashed back on all the times we ha gone out for midnight ice cream runs and sitting down watching stupid ghost shows with my two brothers, watching Dawson light up around Beth, watching Dawson be Dawson...but I was never going to see that again, I was never going to see my brother again.

A sob started at my toes and came out of my mouth as a pained scream. I was on my hands and knees on the floor, warm tears falling in waves from my eyes and I couldn't stop screaming. My body couldn't hold itself together anymore, my arms gave out and there was a hole in my soul where my brother had been that felt like it was trying to eat me from the inside out.

The door was wide open and I could see lane trying to calm Daemon down but Daemon wasn't having it, he took out anything in his path, and the whole time he was rampaging the man who was with lane just leaned against his SUV and smiled, one of my brothers was dead and the other one was in so much pain he wasn't himself anymore and this jackass was smiling.

My screams gradually turned to sobs and I eventually had the strength to stand. When I got to my feet Daemon was striding through the door and pulling me into a hug. I sobbed harder and wrapped my arms around my brother. The only brother I had left.

"I'm so sorry for your loss" Lane said from the doorway.

"Leave" Daemon growled.

Lane didn't reply but the door closed second later and two car doors slammed outside and they drove off.

Daemon and I slid the the floor, still clinging to each other. I felt hot tears hit the top of my head and I knew that Dawson was really gone because Daemon never cried, but now my brothers tears were hitting the top of my head and Dawson was gone.

"Can, can we see him?" I sobbed

I felt Daemon shake his head "no" his voice was husky "they say its to much of a risk"

I sobbed hard, fresh tears falling from my eyes and even though nothing physical had happened tho me there was enough emotional damage that it felt physical, my whole body ached for my brother, even the loss of his girlfriend hit me hard, we had grown to be friends and now they were both gone.

My brain couldn't take it anymore, I could feel it shutting down, could feel myself falling. My last conscious thought was the image of that mans cruel smile as he leaned against the SUV.
