Thinking
Adam: 8 Years Old
Bree: 7 Years Old
Chase: 6 Years Old
Fear was something that a person can't live without. Like water perhaps, oxygen... His fear was thinking. How would one be afraid of thinking? Good question. Thinking is much scarier then you think it ought to be.

"Alright ready?" Adam looked to his right, where Bree stood in a fighting stance. He turned to his left, where Chase stared right back at him. "Guys...No need to fight" Adam told his siblings. Something around him let out a horrific roar and he soon realized that it was just an alarm. "Why are you fighting against me?" Adam asked his younger siblings. He backed away slowly as they edged closer to him. "No please..." Adam pleaded his siblings. Why was he afraid? He was the oldest out of all of them.
Adam wasn't afraid of them. They could hit, punch and kick at him all they wanted. But he was afraid of hurting them. He was stronger then them and would tower over them if he were to come closer. But he didn't want to hurt them. They were his little siblings. He couldn't do that to him. He couldn't.

"Alright ready?" Adam heard from the side of the lab. "Yeah Adam, ready to fight?" Chase asked. Adam turned to the left to see Chase, staring at him. Then to the right, where Bree stood in a fighting stance. "Wait..What are we doing?" Adam asked. Chase and Bree sighed at the same time. "Adam, stop daydreaming when Mr. Davenport is explaining the directions" Bree scold her brothers. They all turned to Mr. Davenport, "Adam it's just a fighting exercise to test your reflexes against your siblings that's all" Mr. Davenport explained. "But what if I hurt them?" "Don't worry, we can handle it" Chase said, "Yeah" Bree chimed in.
"But I don't want to hurt you" "Don't worry about it too much" Bree said. "We'll be fine" Chase added. Above him the alarm blared, signalling the start of training. Adam looked at his siblings and that was when he fought.

But this was defense. He had to defend himself. Adam lunged at the closet one. His younger sister Bree. He pushed her hard to the ground and threw a punch that barely missed her shoulder. Bree yelped and squeezed her eyes shut. He had scared her alright, and that was what he meant to do, not hurt her. Adam then looked at Chase, who had seen what had just happened. Chase stood in a fighting stance, but he was shaking.
Adam had then turned away from Bree. The soft whimpering coming from her was breaking him down from within. "C'mon fight me" Chase said. "Punch me like you punched my sister" Chase said.

Adam hit the floor. But quickly, he blocked a kick from Bree. He pushed up, causing her to lose balance. She fell onto her back. Adam then quickly got up. He ran over to his sister, "Hey are you okay?" he asked. "Adam watch out!"

"C'mon Adam!" screamed his brother. Adam's anger was boiling up inside of him, but he couldn't hurt his siblings. "Stop thinking! Thinking will get you nowhere" Chase told him. "Just fight" Chase told him.

Adam fell to his knees as something hit him from behind. But Adam caught himself before he fell and rolled over, just as the foot came crashing down at the spot he was laying in only a second before. Adam looked up to see Chase staring down at him, panting ever so slightly. Adam stood up.

Two brothers fighting each other. Chase used his force field to block lasers coming from Adam. They fought each other, both knowing the others' weakness and strengths. It didn't hurt Adam when he was pushed to the ground multiple times, or when a punch collided with his arm, or chest. What hurt him the most, was seeing chase stagger back every time Adam threw a punch at him. Silently inside, each time he apologized.

Two brothers fighting each other. Bree sat on the ground, watching from afar. She couldn't bring herself to fight against Adam. That would be unfair. Silently, she sat on the ground watching. Adam blocked a few incoming punches from Chase, and he did the same. Twice the force field was used in battle. Twice was the laser used in the battle. Then Chase fell, as his brother hit him hard in the chest. The little boy fell and coughed slightly, the breath knocked out of him.
"Chase" Adam said. His brother sat up, "Here" Adam said, giving his hand. Chase grabbed it and Adam pulled him up to his feet. "Great job" Chase said, walking over to the side of the lab where Mr. Davenport was waiting.
-An Hour or So Later-
"Chase, I'm sorry" "What for?" his younger brother asked. "I'm sorry Bree" Adam apologized. "Adam you didn't do anything" Bree told him. "I could have hurt you guys in that exercise" Adam said, "Calm down, it's just an exercise. It's okay if we get hurt that's the point" Bree told him. "It is?" "Yup" Chase answered. Adam was plain confused. "Wait hold on a second" Adam began, his siblings turned to him, "So all this time I've been thinking for no reason" Adam said. "Well that doesn't really make sense. Of course you were thinking then you could block out punches" Chase said, "You've just been over thinking" Bree finished.
"So don't think at all then?" Adam asked. "Sure" Chase replied. Adam nodded. "So what I have to do, is not think" Adam mumbled to himself. "What was that Adam?" asked his sister, "Nothing" Adam said.

Fear is something that a person can't live without. Like water, perhaps oxygen. But livingin fear is different from living with fear. Fear is there, waiting in the back of your mind. It's up to you whether to unleash it, or fight it.
