Eska sat up in bed, her knees drawn to her chest as she tried to fight the thoughts that had been swirling through her mind. Glancing over at her brother who was sleeping beside of her before climbing out of bed and padded her way over to the widow.
“Eska? What are you doing awake at this hour?” Desna’s sleepy tone asked as he propped himself up with one arm to look at her.
“I could not sleep, my mind will not shut down.” She admitted, only to find a pair of arms wrap around her shoulders.
“I understand your feelings Eska. If I could have done something to have make father stop I would have.” Desna stated, earning a sigh as his twin leaned back against him.
“I kept telling myself that things would get better….” She admitted, her voice wavering as she turned and buried her face into her brothers tank top.
“So did I Sister.”
Desna replied he admitted, a sharp peg of hatred rushing through him at the sight of his sister so upset.
Rubbing his sister’s back he closed his eyes as he fought the anger and hatred that was filling him.
“Let’s trust the avatar and her partner….after all Korra is family.” He suggested, the concern leaking into his tone.
“Family…What is the meaning of that! You and mother are the only family I have had.” Eska hissed, her body shuddering and causing her brother to reposition himself.
Desna sighed at that, knowing exactly where all of this was coming from.
