Amelia didn't bother to try letting go of Trey's hand. Rather, she tightened her grip on it. Tears flowed down her cheeks as she stared at her twin brother. He was in horrible condition. Amelia gently put their fingers together and put one hand on Trey's chest. She chocked on her sobs as the rest of her family watched in silence.

"Trey...Trey I'm so sorry. I didn't want to hurt you...but if I didn't, Vector may have never left... and you may have been killed," Amelia whispered to her twin brother. "But now it seems that may happen anyway..." The pink-haired girl continued to sob. She gasped when she felt a bit of pressure on her hand.

Wha? Amelia glanced over at her hand, then at her brother. Trey opened his eyes slowly. The pink-haired boy flinched, then yelped in pain. Amelia gently lifted him and held him, kinda like she would a baby. Trey looked up in fear, not realizing it was Amelia holding him until she spoke.

"Shh. It's okay, Trey. The Barians are gone. I'm never going to let them harm you again." Amelia stroked her twin's bangs. Trey had tears flowing down his cheeks. Amelia gasped when she saw them. They weren't like regular tears. They were red. Tears of blood.

"A-Amelia...thank y-you for h-h-helping me-e," Trey stammered, blood still pouring from his eyes. Amelia nodded and wiped the blood away. Trey looked up at Amelia. He was panting heavily, and was in terrible pain. It was obvious he had a broken arm and had been shot, but those were his visible wounds besides the scratches. Trey felt like he was going to throw up, and he was hot. Amelia held him close, not caring if blood seeped through her shirt or not.

"Trey, you're going to be okay. I promise."

"H-How do you-u know?"

"Because I am going to take care of you. So are our brothers and father." Amelia stood, carrying her twin brother bridal-style. She walked towards the other Arclights. They stared in shock. "Let's get back to the house," she said. They nodded and began to follow her.

Amelia was taking the safest route possible back to the house. As it came into view, Trey weakly and shakily put his arm around Amelia's neck. She glanced down in curiosity. Trey looked up, his eyes weak and dull. Amelia smiled gently at him, but on the inside, she was scowling.

Those damn Barians. If they do come back, who knows what they'll do?! Ah, I can't let them hurt Trey anymore. I can't let them hurt my Trey-chan. Amelia opened the house door gently and walked up to Trey's room. She put him on his bed gently and turned to the rest of her family.

"Quinton, please go get some bandages. Quattro and Vetrix, please go find some rags and get them wet with cold water," Amelia instructed. They nodded and ran off. Vetrix managed to get out without hitting anything, but Quinton and Quattro ran right into each other before racing off. Amelia shook her head and placed her hand on Trey's. He looked up weakly and smiled the same way.

Trey... everything will be okay. I promise that, Amelia thought as her twin brother slipped back into unconsciousness. She sniffled, but was happy he was at least still alive. Soon after, the other Arclights returned. Amelia was relying on pure instinct as she worked.

XxXxXxXx

Amelia sat next to her twin brother's bed with a book in her hands, reading and watching Trey all at the same time. She glanced up at him, and smiled upon seeing him sleeping soundly. It was the first time he'd done so the whole day. This whole fiasco was over, for now.

"I hope you get better soon, brother," Amelia whispered. She sighed and returned her attention to the book. Trey shifted in his sleep and turned, facing the left of his bed. Amelia looked up with another smile. She stood and stroked her twin's bangs before leaving and going down the stairs.

Upon hearing footsteps, Quattro looked over in the direction. Amelia walked over with her book and sat next to him. The middle brother smiled and put his arm around Amelia. She looked up and smiled.

"What's up Quattro?"

"Nothin'. Gosh, you're a bookworm, just like Quinton."

"I don't doubt it." Amelia returned her attention to her book, becoming very focused on it. Quattro rolled his eyes. He began to play with Amelia's hair, causing her to look up in curiosity. "What are you doing?" she asked.

"Just playing with your hair. It's really soft and silky, just like your twin brother's." Quattro began to run his hands through Amelia's hair. She blushed, but smiled. She really was Trey's twin. Everything was in common with them.

Well, everything but their tempers. Amelia was more hot-tempered like Quattro, but otherwise was just like Trey. Both were slight bookworms, had pink hair and a green Crest that matched their eye color. Quinton and Vetrix soon joined them.

"I see we're all here," Vetrix said, leaping onto the other couch and falling in between the cushions again.

Amelia sighed and put her book down, then walked over to the other couch. "Let me help," she said, grabbing and pulling Vetrix out from his spot.

"Uhh, thanks," Vetrix whispered. Amelia nodded and walked back to her spot. Quinton chuckled. These guys were crazy. He often wondered how he was related to them. But that didn't really matter. Quinton and everyone else in the Arclight family was satisfied that they were finally reunited, even though Trey was too weak to actually interact with the rest of the family. Amelia glanced up and stared at her oldest brother.

"What are you thinking about, Quinton?" Amelia asked. Quinton glanced at her. He smiled gently and chuckled.

"Nothing really. I'm just glad our family is finally together. Trey may still be in pain, but at least he's alive."

"Yeah he is. I'm happy too. I finally made it to the one place in this world I can actually call home."

"You know you did." Quattro cut in. Amelia turned and smiled. She really was home at last.
