The Future Looks Bright

Chapter 2

"I'll be back. Draken, promise me you'll watch over your sister ok?". A mother said when she left out but he knew she wouldn't come back. Draken was just a child with his baby sister in his arms. The boy looked down at his sister who returned his worried gaze with a soft one.. you didn't understand anything happening, Draken did. In that moment Draken knew he had to protect you at all cost. You were all he had now and he was all you had.

"Can we get ice cream?!"

"It's 12 at night.. you seriously want ice cream now?!" Draken replied while scrunching up his nose.

"There's never a bad time for ice cream!" You'd pout. Draken groaned out in defeat and you were victorious. After being left in the red light district it wasn't too bad.. you had your own room and the women there were friendly. They took pity on you and your brother.. whenever they looked at you there was sadness as to which you couldn't understand why they were always so sad. "Hey! If you stay sad for too long your face will get wrinkles!". After saying this Draken everyone laughed at such an innocent girl. You were confused though.. Draken was happy you didn't understand the severity of your true nature but he knew when you grew up more you would become curious and he was more than ready.

One night you were sleeping and you were having a nightmare. The pitch black darkness mixed with bright colors soon faded into nothingness.

"Hello?!" You called out in your dream as to which you received no response.

"Ugh.. this is dumb." Y/N started to walk through the darkness and it seemed like a century of walking before it transitioned into the hallway of the brothel you were living in. "Oh.. I'm.. home..?" You walked through the hallways... the dream felt so real. It felt.. almost realistic..? You walked into a room only to see Draken on a ladder. He cursed to himself whilst fixing a lightbulb. "Why the fuck won't this thing screw in?! I know I'm tightening it right!!!" You giggled at your brother's misfortune and he turned to look back at you "The hell you laughing at? Is there something funny here?!" He'd glare at you but you held your hand up defensively.

As Draken gave you a death glare the room began to cave in. The cracks quickly spread out through the old buildings ceiling until..

It caved in. Right on top of Draken..

"DRAKEN?!"

In a frenzy you rushed over to the pieces of ceiling caved in on top of your older brother.

"Draken?! Where are you! Don't worry I'm going to help you!" Piece after piece flung against the wall, your fingertips were covered in blood from how quickly you were trying to move the dry wall. Your arms will quite frail and you were extremely tiny yet you were somehow able to be the large objects surrounding your brother..you found him. He was unconscious with a large piece of the rubble weighted against his body.

"Help! Someone help!"

You yelled but no one answered.

"Sis..?"

Draken asked through his haze, blood sliding down from the corner of his mouth.

"Draken!! Oh god.. oh god.. I'm gonna find help! You will be ok!"

"You know I love you right?" He smiled with the same smile you loved so much..

"Of course I know that! Which is why it'll be ok! Hey hey.. it's gonna be ok. I'm going to call 911, they'll patch you up and I know you'll be out of commission for a while but I'll take on the heavy jobs! I'll do everything while you just try and get better. I promise I'll be a better sister too! I won't even argue when you tell me to eat my vegetables.. I...I.."
