Break Ups

LAIS

I am running, panting, but still running, still running. All around me, red, an ocean of red. Red…red flames, red inferno, red flames…red enemies eyes….red, all red.

'What are you worried about? I am Methias, first born of Marion. I will be okay', my brother told me. 

Then he picked up his sword and walked towards the bad people. 

'Brat, hurry up and get in there', Baldo screamed at me. 

Then he turned around to meet a blade coming towards him. 

'Don't worry, you will be okay. I promise you, you will be okay,' my sister said in a whisper. 

Then she ran a knife through her stomach.

'You are my child, and I am proud of you. The world has no right to tell you what to do or who to be. You make that choice yourself, and you fight for your choice. Remember that' father said. 

Then he smiled at me for the first time in my life.
