Bond Unbroken

-3 Year ago-

(Just an FYI, this was made by ItWasSoHardToFindOne not me, plus in this Virgil is 13 and Lane is 16)

The siblings were running down a dark alleyway. Rain was pouring down from the sky. Lightning cracked and thunder boomed, shaking the Earth.

Virgil tripped over his own feet. "Shit," he muttered, falling down.

Lane noticed that he wasn't next to her anymore. She ran back to him, helping him up. "Come on, Vee, come on. We gotta go. He's gonna get us."

"I know, I know!"

With that, they were off again. Away from the man that somehow managed to call himself their father. Away from the man who has beaten his children down to the bone. The man who has ended his children up in an emergency room on many occasions, causing the young ones to come up with some bullshit excuse of, 'I fell down the stairs'.

Tonight had been the last straw. He had smashed a beer bottle against Virgil's head, glass splattering everywhere in the room. Lane had watched, frozen in fear.

When Ebony screamed, calling Virgil a, "Dumbass faggot," Lane had reacted faster than he could comprehend. She was in front of him within seconds, ready to punch him. And punch him she did. Right in the nose. The crack it had caused was deafening.

Lane had grabbed Virgil's hand, racing toward the door and unlocking it. They bolted out of the house as fast as they could.

Ebony grabbed his gun and began chasing after them.

Which brings us to now. On occasion, they would hear the fire of his gun. They had been running for at least ten minutes and couldn't seem to get rid of him.

The two teenagers were running out of breath. The cool Autumn air was making their lungs burn. Rain wasn't helping much either. It was clouding their sense of sight. In fact, they could barely see two steps ahead of them. Even still, they kept running.

"Stop!" Lane yelled. "Stop, stop, stop!" She collapsed to the ground. "I can't," she gasped. "I can't breathe."

They were behind an old factory now.

"Lane, we gotta go!" Virgil hissed. "He's gonna catch us."

"Vee, I can't breathe."

"We're so close to the police station! Lane, come on!" He grabbed at her arm, attempting to pull her off the ground. "Lane!"

"VEE, LOOK OUT!" She screamed.

That's when he was pushed away from her. "Fuck!" He looked up to see Ebony standing directly in front of her.

"I didn't want to do this," he said. "You've left me no choice."

Ebony brought the gun up, pointing it at Lane's chest.

"NO! DON'T!" Virgil shrieked.

Only it was too late. A loud bang rang out. People could probably hear it from miles away.

Lane gasped, bleeding out from her chest. Virgil rushed to her.

"No," he whispered. "No, no, no!"

She looked at him, wiping his bangs out of his eyes. "I love you, Storm Cloud," she murmured, pressing a kiss to his cheek.

With one last gasp, she fell limp.
