~To refresh your memory~

  You reach out your hand, tears streaming down your face, with a silent cry escaping your lips, as you watched your sibling, your best friend, die. You start to get up in the heavy rain, but slip and try again, slowly slipping and sliding your way over to them. As you reach them, you hear someone attempting to sneak up behind you. You turn, and immediately feel pain. You look down. A sword..? You think as you begin to lose consciousness at the sight of a sword stabbing you in the stomach, from blood loss, and from the pain and sadness you felt over the death of someone so close to you. Slowly, slowly. You began to slip into the black that seemed to surround you, until..


There was nothing.


     And then you woke up. You looked around, quickly realizing that you couldn't see anything; it was just darkness and shadows, whispering to you, trying to pull you towards them. And then, it was silent. Countless crows and ravens swoop down from the darkness at you and a soft light slowly appears, but where from? You look up, you look down, you look inside your shirt. Nothing. Absolutely nothing.
   The soft, eerie light slowly begins to grow brighter, then, like a light bulb burning out, it flashes and then disappears. You hear someone, or something, crying softly behind you. As you turn to look at whomever or whatever is crying, you look and then you realize. You realize that it is yourself. It is your past self and your sibling, crying over your murdered mother.
   You try to look away, but you can't. You can't move, you can't blink, you can't. Do. Anything.. You feel worthless and slightly ashamed as you watch your past self, knowing that you were supposed to be a role model for your younger ((A/N: or older, up to you.)) sibling, but you couldn't help it. Your mother was one of the two people you trusted in the entire world. And now, both of those people, were dead. As you finally realize you're able to turn away, you find yourself crying, almost uncontrollably, just like you had over your mother and, earlier today, your sibling. You wipe the tears from your cheeks and give out a small sniffle.

At that moment, you realize something is rested upon your right shoulder.
