Chapter 4: Afraid for Ike

For hours after Kyle's somewhat vision, he had been holding on to his little brother tightly, not letting him go. Not even moving from the same spot he collapsed. At first Ike grew annoyed and very confused, but soon he knew that something was bothering Kyle. He didn't know what, but he stayed with him, so his big brother wouldn't be sad. And he napped into Kyle's warm, loving arms.

Kyle's parents still weren't back home yet, and Kyle decided to put his sleeping brother into bed. After he did, the nine year old struggled to leave Ike's room. He was just too scared to leave his brother alone.

The Jewish boy sighed as he sat down on the floor in front of Ike's bed. He had no idea what just happened. He had no idea how it happened, why it happened. But he heard it clearly in an unclear way. Everything he saw went by so fast, but he could hear the voice, and he could see the image. He was deeply afraid that his little brother was in danger, and he had no idea how to explain it to anybody.

Kyle had no idea how he would explain this to his parents, and if he told them that Ike couldn't be left alone, they would think he was silly, and just leave the three year old in his room. Kyle couldn't let that happen. The only thing he could do was stay in with his brother, and never leave him.

What happened? Why did that happen? Was I dreaming? No. He wasn't dreaming. He remembered that he got a small headache during the horrible scenes before his eyes. He couldn't have been dreaming. He was so confused and so scared.

"Kyle, what's going on?"

Kyle looked up and saw his mother with a confused look on her face. He couldn't tell her what just happened. "Ike fell asleep. So I brought him in here to take a nap."

Sheila could tell there was sadness in her son's eyes. A mother can tell. "Is everything alright, bubby?"

"Yes mom."

"Alright." She left the room.

Kyle was so relieved his mom didn't ask him why he was in Ike's room and why he hadn't gotten up. He didn't have to explain to her what happened. But he still knew he had to stay here. Even if it meant sleeping here.

And that night, Sheila surprisingly saw her oldest son in Ike's bed. They were both snuggled up together, and she was stunned. She thought that maybe Kyle was talking to him and he fell asleep. So she went over to pick him up, and take him to his room.

Right when Sheila left Ike's room with Kyle in her arms, the nine year old saw a quick vision of Ike calling for him. He didn't wake up, but he whimpered a little, feeling that something was happening.

He was finally put into bed, and he never woke up. But his sleep wasn't happy, and he couldn't wake up until the next morning.

Sorry it was so short. But I hope you liked it. Please review!
