A Small Dose of Pain

Since I am somehow in jail, i'll give Ira something to look forward too then. Speedrunning this rn. Only a snippet cause I don't have time for a big one.

As the small specs of snow started falling down to his feet, he looked down seeing that his feet were getting cold from the snow. The first snow falling down. The biggest fire he has ever seen was started right afterwards. A fire he couldn't stop nor do anything about. He always hated fires. Why did it have to be that way? He had to stand there and just watch.

Watch as the person he cared for died right in front of his eyes screaming and wailing, telling the two to go. Go far away from here. As she screamed, words were inaudible coming from her mouth but he could clearly read her lips from here.

"I love you too...sister."

As tears started streaming down his face, he didn't know what to make of this situation. They called her a traitor. A witch. Someone that couldn't be trusted yet....she wasn't any of those things to him. She was amazing. Everything that he could have ever asked for in a sister. He blinked back tears, sniffling slightly while wipping the snot with his oversized coat.

"I told you to put on shoes."

He heard his older brother tell him while staring directly at the fire not making another sound. He was the one who had to endure it all. The Boy Savior. The one who is supposed to do all these amazing and wonderful things for the people. In his mind he thought that his brother, sister, and him were doing amazing things.

In his older brother's mind, corrupt and anger was all he had. He can see small tears streaming down his face yet his older brother didn't flinch, didn't move an inch, not a muscle was seen to move the tears away or nothing. He always seemed...broken yet he didn't know why he was so broken.

"I... didn't want to wear shoes"

He mumbled before hearing a small sigh escape from his brother's mouth. Without saying a word, his brother bent down slowly while dropping his cane on the ground, taking off his shoes raising his hand to motion for his younger brother to lift his foot up. He did what he was told, holding onto his older brother feeling the shoes slip onto both his feet now.

Not a word was exchanged from the two.

Silence was emitted into the air as the heard crackling from the fire while the first snow was falling from the sky.

The new era for the beginning and a new era the for lost.

Click.

Reloading the gun back again, his hands shaking from how unstable his footing was. Staring at the animal that was wounded, laying on the side of the road. It was a baby deer that was twitching slightly with every movement, he didn't want to pull the trigger but his younger brother was staring at him with his one eye, he always wondered what was underneath the eye. The one with the eyepatch on it. His older brother was always so cool, Derek was his name. His real name. He went by many named but Derek was his real name.

"Pull the trigger." He sternly said to his younger brother but he quickly shook his head at seeing the animal. "Can't we just -" his sentence was short lived when his older brother intervened, gritting his teeth in anger. "Just shoot the animal like I have taught you, it is not that hard! What would father think if he saw you couldn't even shoot the gun?"
