BREATHE

_____________________________

Sylvia was waking up in unusual places again. This made everyone in the castle quite worried, but no one was more concerned than Ranboo.

"Are you sure you don't want to talk about it?"

Sylvia was sat up against the corner of the wall, staring off into space.

"Positive." She muttered.

Ranboo had watched his sister decay for days now, wishing he could do something about it.

It reminded him of when he refused to talk after his mother's death, Sylvia never wanting to leave his side.

It didn't matter if she wanted space, he wanted to be there for her.

Ranboo slid his back down the wall, wrapping his arms around his legs once hitting the ground.

He studied his sister's blank face, her hair going in every direction. He noticed a few strands drifting towards her eyes, pushing it behind her ear.

"I don't want to marry. I especially don't want to marry Schlatt."

"I wish I could take your place."

"I don't. I've only accepted this to protect you."

"You're so protective." He chuckles softly. "You get yourself into horrible situations...just to protect me."

"You're my brother, and you've been through a lot. I can't help it." Sylvia's smile was small, but it made Ranboo smile.

"I want to help you."

Sylvia slowly looks up to him.

"I don't care if I risk my own life, I want to get you out of this."

She watched his hands curl into tight fists. She rests her head on his shoulder and he sighs.

"He'll be coming by later, it would be best if you looked presentable." Ranboo mimics the words Sylvia would always tell him.

He could feel her smile, making him feel more at ease.

Sylvia put on a dark blue, satin gown and her classic black heels. She took a few deep breaths, slowly gazing into her own eyes through the mirror.

She inhaled deeply, holding her breath and smiling. The smile quickly faded, seeing how unhappy she really was. 

She exhaled, propping herself on her vanity.
