When Worlds Crumble

how fragile is life, really?

trigger warnings: death of loved ones, killing/murder, angst (no shit)

It was a normal night, right? It was just a family of four having fun together, laughing as they talked about the various situations that had occurred that week, talking later than they should be.

Two adults, two kids.

What could possibly go wrong?

everything

Suddenly, they heard banging and a crash, and immediately the two adults sprang up, taking out their weapons, their only thought being to protect their children.

Two figures came up behind the children and grabbed them, restraining them. After all, what the intruders were about to do required control of everyone in the room.

Blood splattered on the ground, as the two parents fell, and their eyes dulled.

Their children lashed out in attempt to break free, and were unable. 

The daughter, Lumine, was unable to fathom what was happening. 

this isn't happening it's just a dream this isn't happening no no no no no NO NO NO

"let.. me.. GO!" In a sudden motion, the girl broke free and her faithful sword appeared in her hand. 

She stabbed the person formerly restraining her, and preceded to do the same to the guard holding her brother. She then killed both guards who had murdered her parents.

She fell to the ground, her sword dissapearing again. Tears glisten in her eyes, and her brother scooches up next to her, and pulls her into a hug.

They cry, through the night, as they grieved for the parents whom they loved more than anyone..

except eachother.
