We Are One

"Run sister...run," Jades last words to me as her breath thinned, and her life drained. I grab hold of her hand through the gate, "I can't leave..I can't live without you both..," I say as tears streamed down my face. Cole grabs hold of Jades body and releases my grip from her hand.

"Sweet Crimson, I won't lie to you, you will live on...we will not," I look up to my older brother and place my hand on his cheek. "Please...don't...," "Crimson, I need you to run now, you don't have much time. Go to the cottage passed the garden, you'll find a bag just below the staircase. Take it and run away to the states," I stare blankly at my brothers blood covered face. "Now! Before I make you!". ''...but.. I....", I take one more look at my sisters lifeless body. "I love you both....".

My eyes slowly open, and begin to fill with tears. "Jade...Cole,'' I say while catching my breath. I awoke before my alarm went off, and sat up. This happens most times when I leave to a new location. 

I've set my mind on something my siblings wouldn't be too happy with, but this is the last time I'm running. That day, I lost my siblings, that day, I gained their essence.

Running away from my problems won't solve anything If I am to face my enemies, I need to face them head on. I jump at the sound of my phones alarm going off, "so much for being the strongest".

As I set off to find a proper meal, I notice the reflection of my hair in the glass of my room door. "I suppose I was named Crimson for a reason,'' I say as I lift a piece of my hair.
