Gun shots could be heard throughout the abandoned building, lighting up the deep dark night.
Walls damaged by missed bullets, blood spraying on the dirty ground. As if an artist spilled all of his red colour bellow and decorated the exterior with cobwebs.
In the middle of it all a 16 year old teenager. His face unreadable, void of all emotion and remorse for his fellow comrades falling down, one by one, creating beautiful blood red roses bellow his feet.
Bodies pilled up over one another, the sheer amount of the dark red liquid able to supply a whole blood bank for years.

Right as the last bullet hit it's target, only then could one see a little emotion in those dull ruby eyes. Relief, exhaustion, guilt everything at once floated around the iron scented building, then..

...a job well done.

Loud ringing startled many of the remaining men. The youngest member picked up, his expression once again emotionless, hiding any weaknesses away from the world.
"Yes, Boss...?" a raspy voice sounded out alerting the remaining survivors.
An obviously fake happy voice called out from the phone, 'My boy! I assume you've succeeded once again.' the visibly frustrated and tired boy replied "Of course." a boisterous chuckle left the callers mouth 'Of course, as expected.' not wasting anymore time, the voice quickly continued, now more serious then ever.
'Your payment is with me, come fast, before I get too bored.'

At that moment, the teen threw the phone to the ground, successfully getting rid of the headache it brought.
He swiftly turned to the exist, rushing for his money before the deranged individual, he just talked to, does something they will regret.

Hearing a loud noise from the otherside, a person in black looked out his large windows, observing the view of a night sky in the city.
Sadistic smile adoring their face.

"Oh dear Petir, you know you'll crack one day" their smile widened, "and it'll be so entertaining to watch it happen once you do."

Not a minute later, loud bang of the door being kicked open, rang through the modern office.
"Nice to see you too Halilintar."

The clock just hit midnight, the streets were empty and quiet, yet in one of the houses the light was still shining through the window.
Inside, a very worried 3rd octuplet of the Elemental household. Waiting for his eldest sibling till midnight was nothing new to him. He knew his brother worked hard for them to live comfortable lifes, having multiple jobs and all. Sometimes even volunteering to help out in different countries of the world, then being gone for nearly 3 months and coming with various injuries.
The golden eyed teen felt very proud of his oldest abang for that.

With a heavy exhale he sat down onto one of the two wine red sofas in their living room. No matter how proud he felt he couldn't help but be scared.
Who wouldn't if their sibling came home injured almost everyday, not to mention having him out of his sight 24/7. He can't get the numerous questions out of his head because of it. Not to mention the questions the others ask every now and then.

"Tanah, where is Petir?"

Those innocent distressed eyes of their siblings haunt him. He can't get them out of his head.
Gempa's the only one who sees Hali after work, he hopes to keep it that way, both of them do. The others barely see him in the morning since he gets up so early. Only Angin gets to have a little small talk, in the mornings, since the three of them share a room.
Poor boys can't even see him at school because of his jobs.
For that the 3rd oldest sibling prays everyday for them to atleast have one day together, with their big brother, laughing and talking like nothing ever happened.

He was gazing into the darkness of their home, dreaming about happier days, so much so he failed to notice his brother opening the front door.
His clothes were soaked, probably from the storm going on outside, his dark hair with a identical white streak like all of them, dripping water onto the carpet.
Many others would think he was either angry or they couldn't tell, but to Tanah he just looked drained. His empty dark eyes had bags under them making him look like he hasn't slept in days, his hands appeared to be shaking, indicating he was cold or upset.
His own eyes studied the eldest brother.
At that moment golden and crimson met, Gempa couldn't help a little giggle escaping his lips.

His oldest brother looked so shocked to see him, it made him look like a lost kitten.
Slowly Lili took off his black boots, stained with what looked like mud. He seemed so exhausted when he bent down for those boots just to stumble a bit forward. His eyes closing and legs giving out under him.
This caused the younger of the two to act. He jumped up from his spot on the sofa and rushed to his red eyed abang. He quickly grabbed the slightly taller male by his shoulders and made him lean his weight on him.
This was the first physical contact he had with his oldest brother in 2 years. He wanted to enjoy the warmth just a bit longer, but he knew it had to wait.

Halilintar on the other hand flinched at the sudden invasion of space and gasped when he realised he can't get himself to move away from it, his energy being too low.
The comfort he seeked for so long consumed his mind and tucked his head into his motherly brothers neck. Not noticing anything else his brain focused only the touch felt now stiffly hug him around his torso.
The slightly smaller of the two, used this opportunity to drag themselves onto the sofa and lay down. With his head leaning against the sofa's arm, along with one of the pillows that randomly set under them, he enjoyed his brothers rare presence. Cuddling the older to chest while he softly snores into his shirt, he finally genuinely smiled. His fingers ran through Petir's damp hair. With his body relaxing after so long, relieved the golden eyes shut close.

Maybe his prayers were finally answered. All he needs is the rest of the family now and he'll feel complete.
