"Birdcage"

Ch. 17 ( "Worry Not " )

"Brilliam.... let's go,"
"Hmm.sure."

Before we got out, we saw an upcoming number of people. We realized it was a number of hunters. They are sorrounded around our house. Holding a stake and guns. They were trying to open the gate but it won't work. Its use to say only the owner can open it, but since the owner left the house. They can't be with the house anymore. The cursed broke and they pay the price. A price that one will die.

"Stay here for now brilliam,"
He instruct me to stay in the warehouse and hide there for a while.
His hands were shaking and trembling.
" Be a good boy,kay?,"
I tugged his t-shirt. "Are you going to be alright Brother?"
He stop.his heart shakened because he know that he doesn't have much time left. Its time for him to lied for the first time. When they were kids they promised to never lie to each other,but that promise eventually broke. He doesn't want to left him alone in this world,cause he can't. He must live but it's already impossible.
"Sorry..."
"For what?" I ask.
"N-nothing."
"I'm going now, stay there," he smiled and distract the hunters. I'm don't Want to let him go, I don't want to.... I love him. Brother... I hope you come back safely.

There he is! Shoot him!
He shape shifted!lies! We thought he was a boy! He was founded out about the shape shifting and got shooted by a pistol.
The Hunters shooted him,but it didn't work at him neither he get injured.
"Wh-what the! You're really a monster!.
He snickered and chant a word
******** Boom!
The Hunters got swayed by a loud air and thrown out. Mostly of them hurted but some of them are still okay.
He runned and lead them to a different direction.
"Ugh! Where is he? This house is bigger than we expected,".

He went over the warehouse and shape shifted back into an adult.
"Brilliam! Come out now, it's time!,"
I holded his hands running together with him to escape and his hands were cold as ice. He is bleeding.
Back when the hunters shooted him, it looks like he wasn't hurt nor neither injured. But since he use a forbidden magic due to the price, he's wound opened up and bled. I who are a vampire doesn't have an ability to shape shifted into an adult. There's an abnormal thing that prevents me from growths. If only I could become an adult and help my brother out.

Flash back ( childhood memories)
I want to learn! I want to learn!
" Do you want to learn magic?,"
"Yes!"
Ginger is desperate on shapeshifting.
"Woah!,"
"I did it! I did it! Look brilliam, My body grow!"
"Congratulations," they praised.
"Brother you amazing!,"
"R-really? Eh heh..,"
He look at me and blush.
"If only I'm as good as you brother..."

"Aww! Don't worry my child, even if you can't shapeshited your brother is the one who will protect you. Also your good at playing piano with your hands brilliam, I bet people outside there will be Stunned by your lovely performance,"

"REALLY? Then my brother will become my shining armor! And I'm going To support him by Playing piano hehe,"
They also praised him and pat his head as a compliment.
Yeah! I will become your shining armor.
They all look at me and made me laugh.
We all laugh happily.
I glance at my brother  who is laughing for my sake and both my cheeks Blushed.
I didn't know back then that I'd already had an unrightful love towards my older brother. I thought he will hate me if he found out. But as time passes he also began to like me.....
We began to touch each other Bodies. . .

I stop and halt.
"Brother! You're hurt!," I stop and cried over it.
"Come on brilliam, there's no time worrying about that,"
"No! If your hurt we can't go on like this!,"
I was persistent and struggled at the situation.
"Sigh- it's okay.... It's going to heal soon, look its already healing slowly," he said while comforting me, so that  I won't freak out.
I believe at him, so I followed what he said. And run away together with him as we passed the garden. A garden that as wide as snow,full of tree branches, a hiding places and misleading direction. We pass over it until we mislead the Hunters.
