"Who? Who is missing?" he asked stopping the rocking and looking down at me, the look in his eye had me concerned.
"Eleanor... she's missing." He growled; his grip tightened on me as he did so. I looked to me to make sure I was not joking.
"How did you din out?" he asked slightly calming for my sake
"D-dads telling mom, but he doesn't want us to know." He huffed in annoy and stood up barging his way downstairs. I followed him downstairs as he forced his way into, the living room with my other and farther
"What the hell!" Enzo shouted. "You think this wasn't important enough to share? She's our sister!" he shouted. Farther looked shocked she he looked between us.
"I-I didn't want you to worry you have enough on your plate!" he started
"Don't give me that shit!" he shouted not letting farther continue. "You moved us form place to place, you claimed it was for us but the danger left years ago and your still running! For what reason? Now Our sister is gone and I'll be damned if you're going to stop me from looking for my sister!"
"Get to your rooms." Farther looked form me to mother, mother nodded and headed out. I staid put for a moment. The boys had a stare off before Enzo turned. "Go back to my room, I'll be in there soon." I nodded and headed upstairs and back into my older brother room waiting for him to come back.
It had been while before Enzo returned, I had begun to nod off but when he entered the room, I was suddenly wide awake. He looked at me and sighed sitting next to me. "I'm going out with dad tomorrow for the search okey" I nodded my head
"I need you to stay here and look after mom." I nodded once more to him, we sat in silence for a moment, his large hands holding my dainty ones. Soon he looked up at me and playfully nudged me, "hey you... what were you doing up this late anyways?"
"I was painting my room and building the furniture." I admitted with a sheepish grin, my brother knew I had to complete my room once I had started it. I heard the door down the hall close, I knew it was my parents heading to bed and looked at Enzo. "Would you like to see it?"
"Heck yeah!" He agreed with a smile, with a giggle I left the room my brother following behind as we entered my room next door. He gasped as he entered my room looking at it with amazement. "Shit, think this might be your best work yet little miss. Created your own perfect island aye?" I nodded in agreement taking another look around.
"Well..." Enzo started after a few moments of looking around my room, "Tomorrow is a big day for us both. We best be getting some sleep. Good night." He scuffed my hair before heading out and closing my door. With A large sight I get changed into my Pyjamas and cloned into my newly made cold bed.
I lay there for when felt like ages, my eyes refused to shut and allow me safe passage to sleep world. Tossing and turning I finally picked up my phone and looked at the time. 2:36am. I let out a frustrated noise placing my phone back down and laying on my back looking up and my painted moon. My door creaked open slowly and I looked over to see Enzo's head peaking through with a sheepish smile.
"Can you sleep? Cause I can't." I sat up and shook my head, his sweet smile dropped, and he sighed opening the door more and looking at me. "Want to come and stay with me tonight?"
"Yes please." I breathed, I got out of bed and followed him into his room and climbed into the bed facing each other. His bed was warm form when he was sleeping in it, he stared at my face while I looked down at the blanket.
"Hey, you scared?" he whispered the question, I looked up at him and nodded my head.
"Yeah, I am. Are you?" I asked back, he shook his head.
"Me? Scared? I laugh in the face of danger!" she tried to smile at me, when I gave him a pointed look he chuckled "I'm terrified Bella, I always am when if comes to my siblings." I gave him a small smile; we lay there in a comfortable silence.
"Do you remember when we were little, and we used to sleep in the same? Mom and dad used to just call us twins because it was easier then explaining we were just like that" he chuckled, I giggled.
"What happened to us... we used to refuse to sleep alone" I chucked again; he was right. We were so inseparable our parents just called us twins I just happened to be a delayed one.
"well we got older." He answered my rhetorical question. "It was what happened at the motel in Leas Town. Do you remember?" How could I forget, The owner of the motel had found me alone in the room and let himself in. that night was the scariest for me, I was pushed down and hit till I was almost unconscious.
I remember his hands on my bare skin and the I remember Enzo bursting in, if he hadn't come in then who knows what would have happened or where I would have been now. I shuttered and nodded. "Like it was yesterday." I whispered.
"You know that was a wake up call for me, that you weren't my twin sister that you were my younger one and you were beginning to become a woman. I knew I needed to start being a man and protect you now." She coughed. "That met sleeping in separate beds and keeping a bit of distance."
I let e tear slip form my eyes, he noticed them ad whipped them away. "I'm so thankful to you." I whispered. He kissed my head and I smiled up at him.
"I love you little sister, now get some sleep. You need it." I laughed at his slightly and nodded. We ay in silence until I heard his soft snores. Using them to help myself fall asleep.
