Screams echoed throughout the house, bouncing off the darkened walls. The mix of green and black hair stood out against their pale skin. All manners of cuts and scars twisted and turned, ensnaring the flesh like poison.

They hid in the back corner, hiding from the cruel world. Emiko whispered sweet nothing, the words overshadowed by her brother's screeches, but she couldn't find it within herself to speak any louder. She gripped her brother's arms away from him.

She couldn't let him hurt himself more.

"Make it stop! Make it stop!" The boy struggled more, thrashing about in Emiko's restraints. Tears dripped from his eyes, shaking from his core as he twitched uncontrollably.

"It will. I promise it will. It'll stop. I promise." Nothing Emiko said soothed him. Her voice didn't help him. All she could do was hold him tighter.

Clawing, kicking, biting, fighting. He didn't want to be restrained. He wanted to break free. He wanted to make it stop.

Emiko hated this. She hated that she couldn't do anything. No one could. Many had tried to help. No one could fix the damage he did. So, she just held her brother. She refused to let the tears fall down her face. Her brother needed her. Until the day he was free from this curse, she would hold him and be there for him.

No matter the cost...
