Capture The Heart

I woke up with a startled look on my face. I could hear R maoning. "What 's... Wrong?" He asked. I sighed and ran my fingers through my brown kinky hair.

"It was just a dream." I said. R's face was facing down. "Don't be sad R. Dreaming isn't all that you want it to be. Some times i have nightmares."

"Happy... Birthday." He changed the subject. I gulped. I was now 14! But i was celebrating it with my dead brother. Wonderful. I turned my head to the window.

"R, since it's my birthday I want to go outside and explore." Through the window I could see him stare at me. But i knew he was thinking about what to say.

"To... Dangerous. Safe... Here." I hear that all the time from him. It has never changed once.

"I get that but it's my birthday. This is my only wish." I stared at him pouting. i stood up in front of him. He looked up at me. 

"To... Dangerous. Safe... Here." He repeted.

"Your the worst brother ever!" I screamed at him. I stomped back to my seat and cried. I heard him stand up and walk away. I watched as he walked outside leaving me alone. I cried more trying to seattle my breathing.

R's Perspective

Even though i'm a zombie i know when a girl needs her space. I was sitting with my friend M.

We have been friends for who knows how long. Sometimes we have almost coversations with each other. I havn't told M about Natty. He would try to eat her. It's hard myself not to eat her because she smells so good. I remeber when she was eight i took a bite out of her arm because i was so hungry.

Natty is a lot like me. We don't talk a lot. But she also wants to be normal like me. We both know that we can't be normal. I'm dead and she's not able to go outside because everyone plus the Bonies will try to eat her. I wish she would understand that.

I would do anything for her. She's the only family i have that we know of. Hopefully she is done crying. i don't like to see her cry. I don't have any feelings but it makes me worried about her when she does.

Should i go back and see? What if she was still angry with me? Would she try to throw things at me? I wouldn't feel it but i don't that she does. Yeah, i'm gonna see if she's alright. i mean, that's what big brothers do right? 

This might take a awhile to get back so lets foward it to i get there.

I get there to the safe place and find that she was not there. "Natty?" I asked. I slammed the bathroom door open to check to see if she was in there but she wasn't. i opened the door to the outside. She did step down these stairs. I followed her smell.
