From what's in this coming chapter, Isaac and Mia have an at least one-sided romance relationship. I dunno wether they'll consider it incest, that's a good question.

Chapter 2

The night was pitch black. Fluffy gray clouds blanketed the sky, cradeling the moon in a handful of darkness. Not a star gleamed through the layer, enclosing the world beneath it in midnight's cold tomb, destined for hours untill sunlight broke through the clouds. Isaac was still awake long after Mia had fallen asleep. He could vaguely see her outline in the dark, her figure slumped against a pillow. Even in slumber she seemed scared, broken. Still, she was so beautiful.
He shook his head. What was he thinking? Mia was his sister. He couldn't love her like that.
Isaac had a secret. He had fallen in love with her five years ago.
He knew it was wrong to have those feelings for her. But they were not real siblings, and never had considered eachother that way. Isaac and Mia had been more like best friends. How would she react if he told her, though? Would she avoid him, shun him completely? Would she tell her mother and father what a freak he was? Angel and Mikali had always told him to follow what his heart believed, but would they forgive him if they knew what a stray path his feelings had traveled down?
No one could ever know what Isaac thought. Mia was destined to marry Alex, anyway. Alex. Isaac shuddered at the thought of the man. The sick bastard was going to marry his Mia? After what he had done to her that night, the boy couldn't imagine how their marriage would be. He feared for her with all his heart. Sitting up in his bed, he kicked his foot against the wooden side, unintentionally awakening his sister. Isaac didn't realize Mia had stirred untill he felt her warm arms around him. "I saw you sitting up." She whispered gently, kissing him. "You can't sleep either?"
Isaac nodded. Mia could barely see him respond, but she was used to reading Isaac's expressions, even in dim or no light. "I did sleep for a little while, but you woke me up." She told him, her sweet voice a smooth blend of annoyence and laughter. If there was anyone who could carry on two opposite feelings at once, it was easily Mia. Her brother shrugged apologeticly. Secretly, he was glad for Mia's company. For some time the two sat there, staring out into hopeless fantasy. It was nearly three in the morning, now, and dead silent. Even the crickets seemed to be finally resting thier wings, taking a break from thier midnight serenade. Silence. Now that was something Isaac was used to. That was something that, in the midst of twisted emotions and broken thoughts, would never change. He would always be...silence.
For some strange reason, the thought comforted him. But in a way it didn't. It was good to have something that would always be the same, but his lack of a voice had caused him so much trouble. But I have a family, he thought. Mia and Mom and Dad all love me, and I love them.

At least, Isaac hoped so.
Isaac turned to his sister and saw she had fallen asleep on his bed, her arms still locked around him tightly. Smiling, he grasped her fingers and kissed her lightly on the lips, making sure he didn't stir her again. He lay for a while, staring up at the celing he could barely make out. It was quiet. Too quiet, Isaac decided, as he noticed the sudden absence of the night sounds. Something wasn't right. The crickets weren't chirping. Nothing was making a sound. Was there something abnormal about? Isaac mulled over every possibility he could.
In the midst of the moment, he heard a creaking sound coming from another room. The front hall, maybe? The sound tensed the boy as the danger of the night seemed to sink in. There was the creak again.
It sounded more menacing this time, and louder. Definatly louder.
"Isaac?"
The sound had reawakened Mia. Drowsily she loosened her grip on him and sat up again. Then, there was a shout, sounding like it came from Isaac's father. "Isaac...was that Papa?" Mia gasped, grabbing his hand. The boy crawled to the edge of the bed and got out. He nodded to his sister, who stood up next to him. Suddenly, a full fledged scream erupted from the room next to the siblings. It was clearly the voice of Angel. "Mom!" Mia shouted loudly, leaping to the bedroom door and discovering it was locked. She began to wrench at the door, trying to jerk it open. Isaac joined her efforts, and soon the door had been ripped off its hinges. The two best friends bounded into the hall and into their parents bedroom to see the sight that awaited them. "Oh...my..." Mia gasped.
(AN: This part's a lil gory)

Angel and Mikali's bloodstained remains were strewn across the bedroom. The once beautiful Angel was now horribly mulitated, her forehead slightly dented in and blood streamed down her face and hair. Mikali had slashes all down his torso that went through his body to his back, emitting the crimson liquid of his body.

Mia screamed loudly and fainted into her brother's arms. Isaac could only stare, dumbstruck, for a second, before he crumpled to the ground and tumbled into darkness.

MK: SOWWY SO SHORT!!! g2g!
