The dark green bushes shrouded a black figure. His body was crouched down, similar to a tiger waiting for its prey. Both of his hands were on the ground, his faithful knife enclosed in one. On his helmet-covered face stood a crazy, twisted grin, showing the excitement of what was to come.
"The brat dies tonight!" The figure thought to himself, his warped grin becoming even wider. He could picture it now, his victim's moon colored hair being dyed red with his own blood. The thought sent a shiver of excitement down his body.
The figure heard a loud thump which quickly took him out of his insane daydream. He saw his victim walking down the heavily forested path after closing the door of his friend's house. His victim had a look of content and happiness.
"Enjoy it while you can, brat." The figure stated in his mind, mouthing the words as he thought them. Just then, a sound paraded its way through his eardrums.
Thwump
Thwump
Thwu-thwu
It was a beating sound, almost hypnotic, but it was off, if only by a nanosecond. The figure quickly erased the sound from his mind and slowly slithered to his target, expecting blood, flesh, and chill-inducing screams to greet him.

Susan crouched in the bushes, hoping that the dark leafy materials would hide her presence. The binoculars she had brought with her were glued to one object, her milky blonde brother. This was his first time going anywhere without her, and she just wanted to make sure he was okay. Some people called it stalking; Sue called it protecting her brother.
"We wouldn't even be like this if it weren't for me." The blonde thought to herself, replaying the day that started the madness in her head.
/*-/*-/*-/*-/*-/*-/*-/*-/*-/*-/*-/*-/
It was a bright, sunny day. A young girl with short golden hair wrapped in two pigtails was gripping the hand of a boy much smaller than she was. He had light blonde, almost white, colored hair and his ocean blue eyes held a confused expression.
"Where are we going Sissy?" The boy asked his sister.
"To the park to play tag, silly." His sister replied, showing a gapped toothy grin. Once they arrived to their destination, the girl lightly tapped her brother's shoulder. "You're it, baby brother." She stated.
"No fair…and I'm not a baby!" Her brother replied, sticking out his tongue for effect.
"Why not, you act like one." The girl replied, lightly ruffling the boy's hair, then running off to the playground. The milky blonde boy got his sister's message and started chasing after her. Laughter could be heard from the siblings as they chased each other for hours. This lasted until they noticed the sun setting. Both siblings were panting, the boy a little harder than his sister, and sweat covered their bodies, as they ran all the way home.
Once they knocked on the door, their mother, a young looking woman that had a mixture of her children's hair color and the same eye color, opened and gave them a loving smile.
"Welcome home, how was the park?" Their mother asked.
"Great, Johnny and I played tag all day, didn't we?" The girl replied, looking at her brother, who was still panting pretty hard. He nodded in agreement as he lowered his head.
"What's wrong sweetie?" his mother asked, clearly concerned.
"Nothing mommy," The boy replied, "Just tired." He added, rubbing his eyes to show his point.
"Let's get you in bed early tonight, kay?" But Johnny failed to answer, as his mouth was occupied by a long coughing fit. Once the fit was over, he raised his head, showing the crimson liquid that covered his lips. Panic was sketched in his face as he looked at his hands, which were covered with the same liquid.
"Susan get your father, I'll call the hospital!" Their mother yelled panicked, rushing to the phone and dialing for someone to get her little boy.
"Daddy!" cried Sue, confused as to what was happening to her baby brother.
/*-/*-/*-/*-/*-/*-/*-/*-/*-/
At the hospital, Susan sat in the uncomfortable plastic chairs that occupied the waiting room. Her parents were talking to the doctor that had looked at her brother. Sue was a good distance away, but she heard bits and pieces of their conversation.
"What's wrong with my son?" Her father asked, his voice a mixture of anger and concern.
"Well Mr. Storm, after looking at Johnny, we've discovered that his heart is much weaker than the average six-year-old's. It wasn't a problem before, but he must've pushed his body too far. His heart was working double time to pump blood through his body, a task that's easy for a regular heart, but for Johnny's, it was almost like driving a car after it ran out of gas, impossible. He's going to be here for a while"
The doctor's speech engraved itself in Susan's mind as a waterfall of tears cascaded down her cheeks. 'Pushed his body too far?' The blonde remembered their game of tag; Johnny was acting tired after only a few minutes of running. Why didn't she notice that, she should have let them take a break, but no, they had to keep playing. She mentally kicked herself for not being a better sister, now Johnny was going to have to pay for her mistake!
/*-/*-/*-/*-/*-/*-/*-/
When the doctor said Johnny was going to be there for a while, he meant it. It had been two months since Johnny's coughing fit. Susan was sitting by her brother's bedside, gently holding his hand. She looked at the red bag that was attached to Johnny, the only thing keeping him alive. Her gaze then shifted to his facial features. In such a short time, Johnny had become pale and he was rapidly losing weight. The blonde could no longer see the happy, healthy boy that was her brother. Instead he was replaced with the sickly figure lying on the hospital's snow white sheets. Her parents entered the room after talking with the nurse.
"Sweetie, we're going to the store, you want anything?" Her mother asked in a soothing manner.
"No thanks, I'm fine." She replied coldly. Her mother sighed and turned to join her husband.
"We'll be back in a bit, Suzie!" Her father called out as they left.
They never returned.
/*-/*-/*-/*-/*-/*-/*-/*-/*-/*-/*-/
Ten years had come and gone since both her brother's illness and her parents dying from a drunk driver. Susan, now twenty-one, was sitting next to her brother, now sixteen. His pale blonde hair was covering the top of his face and his eyes held an empty sadness. Johnny's condition had only worsened. His weight had gone down even more and he was now as white as the sheets he laid on. Johnny turned his head to look at his sister.
"Sis," he started, he had stopped calling her "sissy" when he turned twelve, "I'm dying, ain't I?" he finished, which caused his sister to stand with shock.
"Johnny, why are you saying such a thing?"
"Look at me Sue!" he demanded, grabbing the tube connecting him to his blood bag, "I'm a freak! Even the doctors said that their amazed that I lived this long. I'm dying soon, I can feel it!" Johnny shouted, tears exploding out of his eyes. Sue stared at her brother, shocked and angry at him for wanting to give up. Fearing what she might do, she excused herself from the room, saying she was getting a drink.
Once she reached the hallway, the bottled up tears flowed out. She sobbed for a few minutes until she heard footsteps. She looked to see a woman in a nurse's outfit with her bluish hair tied in a long ponytail.
"Sorry, but I couldn't help but overhear. Your brother seems to be having organ trouble." the mystery woman asked in a foreign accent.
"Yeah, his heart isn't working right."
"Why doesn't he have surgery?"
"I would love to, but we don't have enough to buy a heart, we're broke."
"Well, I have a solution for your problem." The woman stated as she handed Sue a business card. The blond looked at the card and read the company name out loud.
"Doom Co.?" she asked, puzzled.
"They have a wide selection of cheap, but fully functional, organs, including hearts."
"I-I don't know."
"You don't have to, if you wish for your brother to suffer more." The woman stated as she turned towards the room Johnny was in. Sue followed her gaze, seeing the sick, depressed figure that was her brother. She turned to face the woman, but she was gone.
/*-/*-/*-/*-/*-/*-/*-/*-/*-/*-/*-/
Susan sat nervously in the waiting, tightly gripping her purse. Johnny had just entered in surgery a few hours ago and the waiting was killing her. She had gone with the woman's suggestion and now they were implanting the heart in Johnny.
"Ms. Storm?" a voice asked causing the woman in question to snap out of her worried state and face the doctor.
"How was it? Is Johnny okay?" Sue asked frantically, grabbing onto the doctor's coat.
"Ms. Storm, the operation was a success! Johnny will be making a full recovery!" Sue eyes lit up and a large grin found its way on her lips. She jumped up into the air and gave the doctor a giant hug.
"We'll need to keep him for a few more days, but just to make sure his new heart stays stable. Also, his blood still isn't quite at regular levels, so he'll need to take these pills in order to regulate it." The doctor said while handing Sue a bottle of red pills. "However, you may see him now if you wish." The blonde was quick to follow his request as she rushed to her brother's room. Once she got there, she saw a wonderful sight. Johnny was stuffing his face with the hospital's Salisbury steak, along with the additions that came with it.
He was eating. Her brother was eating and keeping the food down, something he hadn't been able to do in years. Sue rushed to her brother's bedside and nearly suffocated him a hug.
"Oh, hey sis." Johnny greeted her, although the food in his mouth made it a bit muffled. He swallowed his food and continued, "I don't get why people complain about hospital food, its pretty good!" Johnny stated while adding another mouthful into his mouth. Sue released her brother and smiled at him fondly.
He was okay.
He was okay.
/*-/*-/*-/*-/*-/*-/*-/*-/*-/
Sue kept those memories close, as a reminder of what she had done to her brother.
She was going to protect him.
At all costs
Which is why when a black figure approached Johnny from behind; Susan rushed to the scene without a second thought.
Dundundunnn! Cliffhanger! I'm so evil ^-^!
The blue button is speaking, it's saying "click me". Better do what it says :D!
