Fallen angel

35.Madden-Present

I never knew the feeling of panic.

Now i do. My stomach hurts at the thought of not being able to see her again.

When i arrived at the facility i saw her run inside.

The firefighters stopped me from entering and going with her. Fuckers.

Now we are all waiting.

1 minute..2 minutes...10 minutes....

Until i see her with her brother on her back. How the hell can she carry him? The guy looks as heavy as a mountain

The paramedics rush to them, taking her brother off her back and rushing to the ambulance.

She runs after them and i run after her.

Catching her by her arm and turning her to face me so i can see her eyes, i see tears of  rage mixed with worry.

I could always read peoples emotions perfectly but i could never feel empathy for them.

Until now. This girl has unlocked a part of me that i didn't know even existed.

Running my fingers over her cheek, i brush those tears away from her porcelain fair skin.

"I.." she coughs "I need to see Dorian."

I can see that she shares a deep bond with her brother. These types of bonds are mostly built by shared trauma. Fear of losing each other.

It's the fear i share with Octavia. Ever since that night that they almost kidnapped us, i always think that they were going to snatch her away from me. The kid was scared to sleep without me for 2 years.

And now i see the same fear in her eyes. Maybe that's why i understand her. Cause she is the same as me. Only i was born this way. She became.

I take her hand and go to the ambulance where her brother is. She immediately goes and wraps her other hand with her brother's.

"Ni..Nina" her brother whispers, opening his eyelids,regaining consciousness.

"I'm here Dorian." She whispers.

"I have something to say." he tells her

"Say it" she says

"Satan thanks you for not letting me die. He almost killed himself in my company  and i only spent 2 minutes in hell."

She burst out laughing with him " I wouldn't blame him. You are a pain in the ass. Welcome back brother. How are you feeling?"

"If you have to tell me anything that i would kill you or anyone for, now is the time. From my gratitude and the fact i can't breathe properly. i promise "

She does a face "Well..."

"Oh Jesus" he whines

"I'm dating someone."

He laughs "Good one sis"

When she keeps her face the same he brushes a hair out of her face and smiles "Give me a name please. As soon as i recover i want to hug someone. My types of hugs"

I lift my hand, the hand interlocked with hers and his smile widens and turns sad "Why the hell did i promise? I won't kill anyone "

She sighs "That's a relief."

"For now. But if i see any kissing, i'm killing you guys or myself."

"The second one is preferable." she teased

A laugh is suppressed by me "I would love to see you try killing any of us."

"Don't provoke him." she says facing me

Her brother eyes me like he would like to see my head on a stick.

To be honest i understand why but i just really, really don't give a fuck.

——

She asked me to take her to her house to get some clothes and something else.

Little did i know that, that 'something' were a cat and a Doberman almost as tall as me.

She would love my mother. They share the same love for animals, that's for sure.

But i draw the line at dog hairs in my bed

When the dog first saw me, it looked like he wanted to kill me. His name is Chaos for fucks sake.

The cat however was a delight. Quiet. Clean. Not to much shedding so we would have an easy going relationship

I just hope she doesn't take my mothers dogs as well in the house.
