Black. One of her favorite colors. It was her favorite color next to purple. Black could go with anything! Black shoes, black pants, black shirt, even black blankets! Mommy wore her clothes black. Daddy's eyes were mostly black when he took his mask off. Even some of her uncles wore black! It made her feel special that she saw her favorite color every day.
Except for one thing.
Black seemed to be his color now.
Heart Freeze grunted slightly, reaching for the doorknob that was just in her reach. Standing more on the tips of her toes, she finally managed to get a slight grasp on the doorknob. Turning it slowly, she opened the just enough to peek her head in and look around.
The room was filled with different items. Items that used to belong to her when she was younger by what daddy said. A rocking chair, a changing table, a crib that was currently occupied by someone else who wasn't her. Quietly, she slipped into the room, tiptoeing her way to the crib and looked inside. There, laying on his side with a black bat plush in his arms, was a tiny black furred month old wildcat, sleeping away.
Her new baby brother.
She puffed her cheeks out, walking away from the crib to the rocking chair and pulled it over to the crib, making sure to be quiet so she wouldn't wake her brother up. Having the chair facing the crib once she had it right next to it, she climbed on and sat on it, gazing at the wildcat kit that was her brother. She stayed like that for over six minutes, looking at her brother, thinking back to when she was told she was going to be a big sister. She was excited. A sibling! Someone to play with! She promised herself to be a big help and to be a good big sister when her sibling arrived.
But that changed when her brother finally arrived and she got a good look at him. He was small, tiny, and looked nothing like mommy like she did. She didn't mind that he looked like daddy, it made him more cute and fluffy that way, but what she did mind was that her baby brother was more like mommy than her. More vampire. He didn't have a heartbeat, he didn't need to breath, his fangs were already starting to poke out, and he already had a slight taste for blood.
She was opposite of him. Her heart beated, she breathed air, her fangs didn't come out till she was a year old, and she hated the taste of blood. She was nothing like her mommy. And what really got her angry was that her brother took all of the attention for himself.
"…I…I-I hate you." She whispered, feeling her lips quiver as she spoke. "I…I hate you. You took everything from me. You took mommy. You took daddy. Uncle Night Shift likes you more than me. Y-you." Her hands gripped at her white frill dress, tilting her head down and shutting her snow blue eyes tight to stop herself from crying. "…you took away my happiness. Nothing I do makes mommy or daddy spend time with me anymore because you take them away from me. You took their atten…atten…ettenton, their love, and mommy and daddy all away from me. A-and." A tear dripped onto her dress. "And now…I'm all alone. And It's Thanks To You That I'm Alone! I Hate You Blood Streak! I Hate You!" She raised her voice slightly, looking up at her brother with trembling rage. The rage disappeared though. All of it.
Her brother was looking at her, eyes wide open and focused on her.
Her heart quickened as the feeling of fear entered her body. Was he going to scream? Was he going to cry? Mommy and daddy would surely hear him and come running to find out that she woke him up and she would be in time out! No! She didn't want time out! It was Blood Streaks fault that he got her in trouble, not her!
Blood Streak blinked, looking at her with the same eyes that his father had. He knew this person. He knew her very well. Sister he heard his parents call her. His big sister. And apparently, he had hurt her feelings by taking more attention than she did. He didn't want that. He hated attention. All the cooing and gushy faces and disturbing bright colors that hurt to look at them. She could have them, all he wanted was he darkness. And only her attention. She didn't make gushy faces or treated him like a fragile thing. She was more interesting to look at than the books that had those eye stinging colors in them. And she was quieter than the rest of them, which made her more tolerable.
Heart Freeze blinked in surprise when Blood Streak reached out for her, seizing her dress trough the crib bars in his small grasp and pulled on it. "…you…aren't crying?" She rubbed at her eyes, wiping the tears away from them. Her brother pulled at her dress more, looking at her intently. She stared at him. Slowly, she shakingly lifted one arm up, reaching in between the bars, and placed her hand gently on his head, stroking the soft black fur. Then, in amassment, Blood Streak quietly began to purr. "…I guess you're not all that bad." She smiled slightly. "But I want some of mommy and daddy's ettenton back, okay?"
Blood Streak yawned, wrapping his arm around his sister's hand with his thumb in his mouth, fall right to sleep when he closed his eyes.
Heart Freeze, after watching her brother fall asleep, let a small smile appear on her face. "Okay. I guess you can have ettenton too." She whispered, staying still and letting him hold her hand as he slept.
Unknown to Heart Freeze, the whole event was being watched through the slight open door. Roller Brawl smiled, leaning against Freeze Blade with her hand entwined with his. "You were right. She will be a good sister."
Freeze Blade shrugged, a bit sad that he didn't have a camera with him at the moment. "I told you that you shouldn't worry much. I'm sure that they'll get along just fine when he gets older." A frown etched its way on his face. "I just hope that he isn't a handful when he gets older."
"What makes you say that?"
"…remember what you told me? About how vampires can be very aware of what goes on around them after they're born and how they're more intelligent?"
Roller Brawl frowned. "Yeah?"
"And you do recall how you told me how they could be a handful once they discovered their powers?"
Her frowned deepened. She remembered. She recalled how her brothers told her how much of a handful she was. Running on the wall, turning into a bat and hide for hours, stealing the cookies out of the cookie jar. "…well—"
"Ssssh!"
Both parents instantly looked into the room, surprised to see Heart Freeze glared at them, putting a finger on her mouth as a be quiet sign, and pointed at the still sleeping Blood Streak. "Shushy! He sleepy!" She quietly told them, going back to watching her brother sleep.
They blinked, then quietly chuckled a bit, assured that Heart Freeze would be an excellent big sister.
"Lets not worry about it right now." Roller Brawl smiled.
"Agree." Freeze Blade wrapped an arm around her waist.
The age that Heart Freeze is in this chapter is three.
