My Little Sunshine

Eight

Isaiah POV

While walking through the school, I see Elodie sat on the floor with her knees to her chest and her head in her arms. From the way she's sat I know she's crying. A deep frown forms on my face as I walk over to my little sister. She's not much littler than me, when I was two months old mum and dad fell pregnant with Elodie and four months later she popped out. They decided to stop after that.

When I stood in front of her, I kneeled down and put my hand on her arm. She looked up at me and her face was red from crying and being buried in her arms.

"Are you okay?" I asked. To others it sounds like I'm asking just because I'm her brother, but I know I'm concerned about her. I love my sister and I don't want anyone making her cry like this.

"You have some nerve, Isaiah. Some real fucking nerve. You're the reason I'm like this. Do you know what it's like to be related to you? Any idea at all. I'll tell you, it's shit. My supposed friends hate you and think you're a psychopath. You literally harass my friend every day and I don't know why she's still friends with me when I have a brother like you. Everyone in the pack looks at me weirdly all because I'm related to you. Why are you even here, no one likes you. Just leave the pack, leave and never come back because you're nothing but a burden to everyone. Me, mum, dad. All you do is inflict pain on everyone and fear. Just do everyone a favour and leave."

My frown deepening, changing from concern to anger at my sisters words. I know I'm a burden, I know everyone would be better off without me here. I know everyone stays away from me and tells their children to stay away as well, but what they don't know is why I hurt people. Why I do what I do. No one understands or will ever get it.

"Just stay away from me. I never want to see you again." She sobbed out. I stood up and began walking away. My hands balled in to fists ready to punch the first thing or person. Someone to just knock me over the edge so I have a reason to hit something or someone.

Just as I rounded a corner, a little body bumped in to mine. My arms wrapping around their waist and I instantly knew who it was by the way I held them. I know this body anywhere, in a crowd of people I'd find this body no problem. I look down to see Rose already looking up at me.

"Isaiah." She whispered. Not being able to help myself, I pulled her body up to my chest, wrapping my arms around her waist even more then pushing my nose in to the crook of her neck.

After what felt like forever, Rose relaxed and wrapped her arms around my shoulders hugging me back. My arm tightened needing to feel her more, no matter how much I wanted it we were as close as we could be yet I still yearned for more. To feel her skin on mine.

"Are you okay?" Rose asked in a whisper. I shake my head and my hands fist the back of her jumper. Then all that Elodie said to me came rushing back. And Rose's mum. What everyone in the pack says about me. I'm not stupid, I know everyone's lives will be better if I just left. Elodie would have friends that don't berate her on who her brother is.

Rose's mum is right, I'm no good for her and I should stay away. No matter how much I want to be in her arms, I know Rose doesn't want to be in mine. Anger filled me and I pushed Rose away from me, her small frame stumbling back a few steps.

"Isaiah." She said frowning. "What's wrong?"

I remained silent as I walked away from her. I headed straight outside to leave. Get in my car and not turn back. Everyone keeps saying it so it must be true, I don't belong here and everyone would be better off without me. My family wouldn't be burdened, people at school wouldn't have to walk in fear wondering if I'll snap at them.

And Rose. My little sunshine in all this darkness that surrounds me. She can walk the halls of school without the fear of me coming up to her. Without me keeping her from going to class because I need her in my arms.

"Isaiah, stop. Where are you going?" Rose runs to keep up with me. Her hand on my arm holding me to stop, but I don't. I push her hand off and keep walking. "Isaiah it'll be okay. Just stop and talk to me."

"What do you care, huh?" I stopped and looked at her. "Why do you all of a sudden care about what I do. Just yesterday you were begging me to let go and now you want me to, what? Just go back to Elodie and leave me the fuck alone." I snap at her.

Rose halts in her tracks staring at me like I had just grown two heads. Shaking my head, I turn and carry on walking away. Only to hear her run up behind me again.

"No, you can't do that. You can't just take me out to the woods and sneak in to my room and hold me like that. You can't make me feel something then snap and tell me to leave you alone. You can't do that." She stated.

"Go away." I growled.

"What? No sunshine no more? Isaiah stop, just stop and let me help you."

"Go away." I growled once again.

"Isaiah." Rose put her hand on my arm again. I felt my fangs elongate from my gums, a hiss of warning leaving my mouth as I hold her up against a locker.

"I said go away." I hissed. My vampire ready to kill anything or anyone that got in my way, annoying and angry about everything.

Fear blossomed in Rose's eyes as she looked up at me. I smirked at the look in her eyes taking it all in. Enjoying every ounce of it as I looked down at her. I couldn't help but relish in it. I liked the fear, it gave me a sense of happiness to see it on peoples faces when I walked by them.

"Isaiah." Rose whimpered.

"I said leave me alone." I spat out before walking away again. This time I wasn't followed. This time I didn't have Rose bugging me to stop.
