Ch. 55: Nameless
As the 5(?) of us passed through the arch, the area blurred and changed, becoming what looked like a cluttered space. The smell of must and dust floated about. I blinked and shook my head before seeing that this was some kind of antique store. Various items of varying age and purpose, most of which were delicate glass wear, were set up haphazardly on well-crafted desks, dressers, chairs and tables that clustered the floor.
I looked around, seeing a small (probably around 5) C.J playing on a worn out rug in the center of a clearing with and old wooden toy that must have belonged to this place, given the price tag on the side. I stepped through the mess of this place to the spot she was playing, the others following. Well, Nightmare was floating, as he tends to in dreams.
C.J smiled and held up the toy (a train, now that I saw it close up), "Play with me?" I followed the extension of her tiny arm to see that she was talking to a figure in a chair on the edge of the rug, so quiet; I hadn't noticed her was there. My clock froze in place. It was her big brother, sitting incorrectly on a chair, looking over the back to watch her play.
This isn't a fake…that's really her brother…. He smiled, blue eyes warm, "Actually, I have a present for you kiddo." He righted himself in the chair and reached into his coat pocket, "Happy 5th kiddo!" He pulled out a long stuffed tiger. I looked down at the halves to see that Emo was gripping Reason's entire arm so tight she was struggling, hiding her face in it.
Little C.J grinned, putting the wooden toy down and coming up to her big brother, stretching her arms up to be picked up, "Really? That's mine?" He grinned and pulled her up into his lap, "All yours." C.J grinned, hugging her new tiger, "Thank you Ni-san!" I glanced at White and saw recognition flash across his face.
She hugged the tiger and leaned against her big bother as he stroked her hair. D***…how old is he?! He can't be older than 12, but he's acting more like her father than her big brother! C.J stirred, "…I wish we didn't have to go back." Her brother frowned, "Hm?" "I don't want to go back to Mommy."
He held her a bit away so he could look in her eyes, "C.J, why would you say something like that?" She shrunk, "Mommy's scary…." He sighed, "C.J, Mom's…sick, ok?" He tapped his temple, "In her head. And you can't make that kind of sick go away with medicine. It takes time." C.J frowned, "Will Mommy get better?" "…Maybe. For now, all we can do is stay with her and love her." "…What if Mommy doesn't get better? What if…she gets worse?"
The boy smiled comfortingly and patted her head, "Don't worry! If it gets really bad, I'll always protect you!" C.J kept her gaze on his face, "…Promise?" He grinned and drew and X on his chest, "Cross my heart."
Satisfied, C.J smiled and leaned in again, "I love you Ni-san." He smiled and started stroking her head again, "Love you to kiddo."
I felt a tap on my shoulder and looked up and behind me to see Nightmare pointing to a large wardrobe on the far side of the shop. The doors were different from the rest of the dresser. I blinked, and motioned to the others. We all started to leave the older brother and his little sister.
I looked back at him before the jumbles of furniture of the nameless shop blocked him from view. His face was different now, creased with foreboding worry that shouldn't be on the face of a 12 year old boy. "…No matter what happens…whatever it takes…."
….
…..
….
We stood in front of the wardrobe. Emo stared at it, "…What the f***, are we supposed to go to Narnia?!" Reason rolled her eyes and pulled on the handle. White held out a hand, "C.J, hang on!" They both looked back with a simultaneous, "What?"
White fidgeted for a moment, "…What was his name? …Your brothers?" That's right…all this and I haven't heard his name once…. Reason stared in his eyes, "…It was Daniel. Daniel Chase Thourn."
She quickly turned around to face the 'door', pulling Emo along with her. Emo flung open the double doors, "To Narnia!"
WELL, THAT PRETTY MUCH SUMS UP THE PERSONALITY OF THE MYSTERIOUS BIG BROTHER. HOPE HE'S NOT TOO SICKENINGLY (AND BY THAT I MEAN TRAGICLY) NICE.
