Mysterion sighed and faced Kyle but stopped when he heard his sisters weeping.
"Kyle, i'll be right back."
Mysterion walked down the hallway to Karen's bedroom and knocked.
"Karen, are you okay?" He asked.
"You can come in, Angel." Karen replied.
Mysterion opened the door and walked to Karen's bedside.
"Karen, what's wrong?" He asked, gently stroking the childs head.
"Angel, i'm scared. I'm scared Mommy and Daddy will take me away again." Karen said.
"They won't. I won't let them, and Kyle is going to bring you home and he won't let them hurt you."
Karen buried her head into her Mysterion's chest.
"You want me to sing to you?" Mysterion asked.
Karen weakly nodded and steadied herself.
"I can't say that everything's okay
'Cause I can see the tears you're crying
And I can't promise to take the pain away
But you can know I won't stop trying"
Mysterion lifted Karen's head to look at him.
"I'll be the angel by your side
I will get you through the night
I'll be the strength you can't provide on your own
'Cause when you're down and out of time
And you think you've lost the fight
Let me be the angel
The angel by your side."
Mysterion could feel Karen slowly relaxing herself. He continued.
"I know it feels like you're running out of faith
'Cause it's so hard to keep believing
But if I can bring a smile back to your face
If for a moment, you'll forget all about it."
Mysterion wrapped his arms around his sister and held her tight.
"I'll be the angel by your side
I will get you through the night
I'll be the strength you can't provide on your own
'Cause when you're down and out of time
And you think you've lost the fight
Let me be the angel
The angel by your side."
Mysterion began to tuck Karen into her bed and smiled.
"'Cause this won't be the last time
You'll need a little hope
But I want to be the first to let you know."
Mysterion laid a kiss on Karen's forehead softly.
"I'll be the angel by your side
I will get you through the night
I'll be the strength you can't provide on your own
'Cause when you're down and out of time
And you think you've lost the fight
Let me be the angel
The angel by your side."
Mysterion watched as Karen slowly fell asleep.
"Goodnight, Karen."
Mysterion greeted Kyle as he re-entered the Living room.
"Dude, what happened?" Kyle pondered.
"Karen just needed a little reassurance." Mysterion said.
"Alright dude, i gotta go. Call me if you need something."
Kyle then walked out without another word.
The song is this chapter is 'Angel by your side' by, Francesca Battistelli, this song is one of the songs that symbolizes Mysterion and Karen's relationship. So i thought it'd be a nice little lullaby~
