Dream

Drip.

Vi felt as if a watery substance landed on his cheek. He didn't know what it was until he looked up at Hannah, she was crying.

"Mister please don't die, please!"

Vi saw this and all he could do was smile. It reminded him a lot of a specific memory with his younger sister. He lifted his hand and rubbed Hannah's head.

"Thank you, Hannah."

He gave his thanks before falling into a deep slumber and as he slept, a dream of the past rolled into his brain.

"Gel wait up for me~!"

"If you want to go to the park you better get faster because I'm not stopping for you!"

On the sidewalk of a neighborhood street, a little girl that seemed around the age of 8 was chasing a young boy around the age of around 12.

The little girl was wearing a yellow dress with a flower pattern and a tiny straw hat. She had long brown hair with brown eyes.

The little boy was wearing Jean shorts with a short sleeve red shirt. He had short brown hair that got lighter the farther it went down and dark brown eyes.

"That's not fair Gel!"

"Fine I'll slow down, but just a little. You really need to get faster Regina."

Gel slowed down a little, just enough to match Regina's speed.

"Thank you, I thought you were going to run like that all the way to the park..."

"I would've if you weren't so whiney."

"Shut up!"

Regina lightly hit Gel on the back to which Gel didn't respond as he was used to it. All he did was get back to running as fast as he could.

"Gellllll!"

As Gel was teasing Regina, a person in a black SUV was slowly following them while on a call with someone.

"Yea I found a good target, I'll drop her off at your orphanage. Just make sure you pay me more this time, she will get you a pretty penny."

"Alright good, make sure you don't mess up. From the photos you sent me this one could get us farther up in the community."

"Don't worry, nothing will happen. They are just kids after all. Alright, I'll call you back when I finish."

The man hung up and began to press on the accelerator, slowly following the two kids.

__________

"Alright, we are finally here, the park!"

In front of the two kids was a lone park with no one else there. It was the basic park with a couple of slides, monkey bars, and most of the normal park attractions, but nothing out of the ordinary either.

"Huff, Huff! You just had to run the whole way here!"

Regina lightly hit Gel again and he just smiled in return at her hitting him before saying to her, "Well we are here now, might as well have some fun."

Gel immediately went to the monkey bars as they were his favorite equipment piece of the park. Regina just followed him and tried her hardest to do the monkey bars with him.

As Gel finished the monkey bars he looked behind him to see Regina on the last couple of monkey bars, struggling.

"You can do this!"

Gel tried to encourage her but she couldn't go any further and fell. Gel saw this and jumped down to make sure she was ok.

"Are you alright?"

He asked her this and extended his hand for her to use to get up. She extended her hand and clasped his hand before using his body to get back up.

"Yea, I'm fine thanks for asking-"

As she was about to finish her sentence as a dart hit her right in the neck and another one was about to hit Gel but he was able to jump backward just in time after realizing something was wrong.

"Tch, you should have just let the dart hit you and fall asleep. Now we will have to do this the hard way."

Gel looked at the voice behind Regina and it was a skinny man who just looked like trouble. Although at this point Gel was only 12 years old, he knew what was happening as his parents had always warned him about this. This guy was trying to kidnap them.

The guy just went up to the now fallen-over Regina, picked her up casually, and tried to leave. Gel wasn't just going to allow this to happen though.

He ran up to the man and jumped onto his back before climbing up and punching him in the head. The guy reacted and tried to grab him but he was already off of his back at that point.

"OW! You little runt! I was going to let you go as this girl was our only target, but you are asking for a beating!"

He ran at Gel before kicking him in the stomach making him fly backward and hold his stomach.

"Don't think I'll let you off that easily, you should have just pretended like you saw nothing."

The guy went up to Gel and grabbed him by the shirt. He brought him up to his face and began to say something.

"You should blame yourself-"

His speech to Gel was stopped with a punch to the nose, making it go crooked. He felt immense pain and touched his nose.

"You little shit! You broke my nose! Now you have done it, I'll just have to end your life short!"

The man went up to him and grabbed Gel again before quickly punching him in the face. A couple of teeth went flying and blood went everywhere. Gel was sent flying to the playground equipment and the man followed his trail of blood.

As Gel hit the metal of the playground he didn't feel any pain, he only felt anger and disgust toward the man in front of him. He looked around him and saw a piece of metal that had a sharp end. He quickly picked it up before hiding it behind him and acting like he was hurt.

"You should have just stopped while you were at it, now I'll have to kill you. Too bad, who knows what you could have done with your life... wait, I just remembered, I don't care! Hahahaha!"

As the man got close enough to Gel, he jumped towards the man with the sharp piece of metal in his hand.

Shlsh!

He pierced the piece of metal into the man's chest, but he wasn't done yet.

"You think you can just hurt my sister without getting hurt?!"

He took out the piece of metal and stabbed the man in the belly this time.

"You must think you can just do anything you want without consequences!"

He pulled the piece of metal out and stabbed him in the chest again; this time he accidentally stabbed him right in the heart.

"I'M HERE TO TELL YOU THAT YOU CAN'T, YOU BASTARD!!!"

Gel pulled the piece of metal out and at this point, the man already had passed out. He was going to die of blood loss very soon but Gel didn't know this and kept on stabbing him with anger; he didn't stop until his adrenaline left him and he fell asleep.

__________

Gel opened his eyes and immediately felt tears hit him in the face accompanied by a familiar face and voice.

"Gel! Please tell me you're ok! I don't want you to die!"

Gel had never seen his sister act like this, normally she is very conservative and didn't express her emotions to him much.

He just smiled at her and got up before hugging her. He hugged her and she hugged him back, neither of them wanted to break this hug.
