><><Akino's POV><><

The door slams, all of us in the safety of our house.

We all rush under my bed. We are too young to fight this problem.

"Akino?"

I turn around upon hearing Eiko's whispering voice.

"Hm?"

"What's going on-?"

Eiko's voice is trembling- she's obviously scared, and I feel torn over either telling the truth, and scaring her more, or telling a lie, then facing the consequences later.

I sigh, and begin singing the lullaby to her.


Rest little one, don't you cry.

Rest Little one, don't you weep...


Soon, Eiko is asleep. 



><><Third Person POV><><

Outside, it is dark as night, despite it still being morning. 

Outside, It smells odd. It smells of fear and blood.

Outside, animals panic. They would've been doing what animals do, but they just panic.

Yet Inside, the sisters are safe under Akino's bed. It's not the most comfortable place, but they are safe.



><><Eiko's POV><><

I have thoughts while I'm sleeping...

...ZZZ...

Why won't she tell me?

...ZZZ...

I just want to know...

...ZZZ...

I can handle the truth... can't I?
