I don't remember much from my childhood. I remember my older brother, older sister and my brothers boyfriend. My older sister had moved across America, and I was living with my brother and his boyfriend at the time. I was 5 when they died. 11 years ago my brother hadn't come home.
"Allen..I'm going to go find big brother okay?" I said softly to my brothers weak, sick boyfriend. I put my jacket on and covered Allen up tightly. He was born and raised in England from what my brother told me. He did have an accent. When I was little, I thought England was another planet..Really..I thought Allen was an alien.
Since Allen was sleeping, it was easy for me to slip away. I ran outside in the pouring rain, looking around, and running up and down the street and the only two blocks I was allowed to go to. No one seemed to notice me around, and if they did they didn't care. It was about an hour until I got too cold to stay outside. I was scared that Allen would die without my big brother. I slowly walked home.
Once I entered the door, there was something red on the floor. I slowly walked over t it and touched it..It was warm and gooey. I heard some mumbling in the living room. I quietly tip toed into the doorway of the living room. My eyes widen, seeing my brother with bloody hands and Allen in his arms. Two men were standing over them with a gun in their hands.
"Tell me where it is. We know it's here." One man spoke harshly. What was it that they were looking for?
"I wont tell you where he is. You can go to fucking hell!" He he'd Allen closer, tears running down his face. His eyes slowly drifted over to me, and widen. The two men quickly looked over at me and smirked.
"We wont be needing you anymore." The man shot my brother. The sound made my ears ring and made my heart race. It hadn't yet processed what was going on. Then one of then men walked over to me. Snapping out of my daze, my instincts took over. These weren't good men. These were the men my brother told me to run from. I quickly turned and tried to escape. The man grabbed my hair and a shock ran through my whole body, paralyzing me. I screamed loudly, and blacked out.
When I opened my eyes, the men were laying on the ground, blood pouring from their eyes, mouth and ears. I was scared. What happened? I slowly crawled over to my brother who died holding the man he loved. I gently hugged his arm. I didn't want to leave..I wanted to stay by his side. But I heard a car outside, and men rushing from it. I quickly jumped up, wiping my eyes and running out of the back door. I crawled under the fence, the rain washing away most of the blood on my hands and body.
Suddenly I heard a voice. "It's okay Momo." I stopped in my place and looked around..Only my family called me Momo. I stood in place and shook. I couldn't move. Why couldn't I run. I felt a hand touch my shoulder and my body jolted, I nearly screamed until the hand covered my mouth. Another kid had covered my mouth and smiled softly. His hair was straight and black, as well as his eyes. They seemed..Never ending.
"Shh, Momo..Come with me." The boy held my hand and pulled me into some random alley way. I've never went this far before. I only walked two or three block from my house..This was all new.
The boy sat stopped running and turned to me, giving me a hug. I was still scared..Who was he? Why is he touching me?
"Momo, are you okay? Those men didn't hurt you did they?" He asked with a concerned look. I shook my head, remembering my brothers dead body. I looked up at the boy with tears running down my face. What will I do? They're gone..My big brother..Allen..
"It's okay..I'm here." The boy hugged me again. "My name is Sei. I'm your eldest brother." Eldest? What did eldest mean..I've been growing up in America, and my Japanese isn't all too good. I frowned at him.
"I'm your big brother." He spoke in English. I tilted my head. How is he my big brother? "My English isn't too good.." He sighed and then smiled a bit and looked into my eyes. "It's okay. This will make things easier." He said softly. Everything went dark for a few seconds.
Then everything came into focus and I could see my tv. Sei was sitting next to me holding my hand.
"Can you understand me now, Momo?" He spoke perfect English now..What is happening? Why am I home? Where's big brother?
"Momo..This is really hard to explain. I'm inside of your head. So you can understand me." He smiled a bit and ran his fingers through my hair. His smile faded when I flinched. "You don't talk much do you, Momo?" He hugged me softly and rubbed my back. He was really touchy with me.
"Why are you here.." I asked in a soft quiet tone.
"There's a man who wants you..He will do bad things to you so you have to run and hide." He looked at me with a frown. "You can't ever go home. And..I can't be with you forever. I'll try my best to help you though. I have money for you to use to eat and buy winter clothes with. You'll be alone for awhile..But when you get older, you can come to Japan and be with me and our other brother." He smiled more brightly.
"Other..Brother?" I have another brother?
"Yes, you'll get to meet him someday." Sei frowned and turned his head. "I have to go now. I love you Momo..Try and stay warm."
"You can't leave..Don't go.." I started crying as everything started blur. I don't wanna be alone!
Just like that, Sei was gone. He left me $5,000, and a picture of my brother. How he got it, I'll never know. I went to an abandoned house where I thought I would be safe, until another boy was there. He seemed older then me, and not to happy I was in his house.
"What are you doing here brat? This isn't a club house. Leave!" He shouted. I shook and curled up in a corner. He grabbed my shirt and continued to yell. "Get out of here before I beat you to a pulp!" I closed my eyes and started crying hard. My breathing became uneven my nose became snotty.
"I..I don't have anywhere else to go! I'm all alone! It's so cold outside.." The other kid sat me down and sighed.
"Are you serious? You're homeless right?" He asked while crossing his arms.
"Ye-yes..My big brother died.." I said softly sniffing and wiping my tears away.
"No parents?" He asked. I shook my head in reply. "I see. You can stay here then. But don't tell anyone about here okay?"
That was when my life with Ty began, we stuck together through everything. We stole food ever so often, and tried our best to keep out of the adults around us way. Ty got a job at 18 and we live in a small trailer in Ohio. I managed to convince some rich guy to fly me to Japan to find my brother Sei. Maybe..I had the same power as Sei. To go inside people's heads. Hm.
