Someone You Used To LOVE

I Cant Leave

The loudness of the incoming bullets leaving the guards guns instantly made me close my eyes in fright but when no pain hit my body I opened my eyes seeing my uncles hands raised and a red glowing light surrounded us. The bullets were stuck inside the red light and when he shook his hands the bullets fell to the ground causing the guards to back up in fear. My uncles voice came out in a bombshell of anger, causing the ground to shake as my fake mother and her men backed up.
                  "You will not harm my family."  He growled as his red eyes seemed to darkened as he walked forward. My brother looked up at as I held him close to me, tears streaming down his face.
                "I'm so sorry Tavie, I thought she was our real mother, I would never harm you. I hope you know that and I hope you can forgive me..." he whimpered. I smiled touching his face, tears forming in my eyes as I spoke gently to him trying to get his attention on me as the screams of the guards being murdered behind us by our uncle formed.
             "I came never hate you brother...I will always be there for you. I love you."  We embraced each other as the screams of the guards became non existence, I felt a warm hand on my back. I turned around seeing my uncle standing there with apologetic eyes. I shook my head, knowing he had to what he did to save us, so I helped my brother up on his feet as we looked around not seeing one body around us, it was as if there was no one here to start with it. My brother eyes scammed the room for our fake mother and the guards he had probably had friendships with, his
eyes showing true sadness about them.
                      "Where...did they all go?" I whispered as my uncle turned his attention and he looked at my brother, his eyes showing he was indeed sorry about his friends but he wasn't sorry for saving him and myself.
                      "There gone, never coming back.
That's all you need to know." I grabbed my brothers hands squeezing it gently letting him know I was there for him. My uncle stood in front of us and took a deep breath before he began speaking to us.
                    "I finally have the last piece of you're mother's soul. I can put it back in her body, you
Guys can be a family again." My brothers and my own eyes widen in shock.
            "You have our mother?" My brother asked as my uncle raised his hand a small red ball appeared showing our mother floating in the air. We both got closer looking at our mother with a smile on out face.
            "It's time to take you guys home, to you're real home." My uncle said as my brother seemed to have a light come back in his eyes, the excitement about al of
It started to swell in my body but as soon as it did it was replaced with guilt and sadness. I looked up at my uncle and tears welled in my eyes.
           "Take my brother to our home. I'm not ready to go yet. I have things I need to fix here." My brother shook his head no objecting to my words coming out my mouth.
               "No I'm not leaving you here in this fucked up world, just come please? We can finally meet our real mother and father." He muttered grabbing my hands, tears welled in his eyes. I smiled, shaking my head.
             "You know I can't do that...I have people here I care about...and I need to help them build a life here cause they have the worst life you can imagine dealing with zombies and everything else. They still have a threat of that zombie I encounter. I can't just leave them." My brother looked down, knowing when I made up my mind he knew I always stuck with it.  My uncle came to my side, my eyes looked at him pleading he would let me stay, cause it not I would riot.
                  "You're father will not be pleased I am leaving you in this world. But you're just like me I'm so many ways, it's so extremely rare. " He smiled, touching my head as he kissed my head.
                  "I'm not gonna be leaving you empty handed though, cause we'll that would be foolish of me, in a apocalyptic world." He smiled as he started chanting and moving his hands around in a circle, creating this smoke like form that began to form. The ground underneath me and my brother began to shake and this red liquid surfaced underneath the figure that now stood in front my uncle. He blew smoke in the figures face and in a stand the body began to Morph and in minutes stood a man that looked like a 18 year old version of my uncle. He had deep red eyes, beautiful dark skin with long dreads that was pulled in pony tail. I looked over at my uncle in confusion as he laughed.
              "Pretty cool eh? He's a younger version of me that is going to keep you protected and a connection to me in my world. So if you want to come home or need my help in anyway just tell..him." He said pointing to his puppet he made. The puppet looked over cracking a smile at me making me laugh as I shook my head.
                   "What do I call him?" I asked looking at the puppet as my uncle laughed. "Call him whatever you like. Whatever you call him is what his name shall be. But my darling I must get you're mothers soul back as well as you're brother. You can get back to the base camp correct?" He asked grabbing my brother, taking him away from me as my brother showed a hesitant that he didn't want to leave my side but then again I knew he needed to be with my parents to recover from the bad mojo the parasite had done to
Him.
           "I love you" we both mouthed to each other, the puppet walked to my side and watched as my uncle began chanting, the red smoke filling around them instantly. A loud cracking noise of thunder and lightening surrounded us as I covered my ears and in a blink of a eye they were both gone and no traces of them where left behind. I took a deep breath, composing myself as the puppet finally speaking, bringing me out of my moment of silence.
              "So where are we off to princess?" His voice sounded exactly like my uncles, except who's her version which made me chuckle at the little nickname.
           "Don't call me that, just call me Octavia.." I said walking towards the door and opened it. Looking around for the artillery room as he followed beside me.  It seemed like we searched so many rooms in this underground lab as a sigh escaped my lips.
       As I walked and checked a few more doors with no luck I turned around and walked down a dead end hall that had a red sign on the door that red artillery. I smiled walking to it and opened it, to my amaze there were hundreds of weapons and ammo laying on the tables. I looked around in awe as the puppet came to my side looking around with a smile on his face.
            "So, what is my name?" He asked making me look at him with a smirk.
               "Ben."
