"Do you really have to go with me and follow me around?" The girl frowned as she tugged her date away from her brother.

"Of course." Scarlet replied.

He leaned against the brick wall before crossing his long arms over his chest. The girl's date winced from Scarlet's intimidating stance.

Its funny how his 13 year old sister was unfazed, sending him a glare before dragging her date off to the dance floor.

Scarlet wondered how his beloved sister could get a guy that was two years older than she was, as a date.

He let out a soft chuckle as his sister groaned aloud at the way her partner kept stepping on the heels Scarlet just bought her.

A loud crash outside the dance hall followed by a gun shot made Scarlet rush over to his sister, putting her in his chest while he brought her under a window. He had to see what was going on outside so he could protect his sister in the inside.

He held her head protectively against his chest as he looked out the window. His eyes burned with rage when he saw the familiar figures there, waiting for him. He sighed before hugging his sister for a while, letting her calm her erratic nerves. She looked up at him and he gave her a heartbreaking smile.

"Listen little sis, no matter what happens you will forever be my little munchkin. I love you."

"Forever and always?" She asked as a tear slid down her cheek.

"Forever and always." He kissed her forehead and held her in a bone crushing hug before reluctantly letting go of the only sanity he had.

He stood up and grabbed his sister's date before forcing him to sit down and comfort the crying girl he was embracing just a second ago.

The guys entered the room, starting at the only person standing.

"Wow, I forgot how tall you are." The guy let out a booming laugh as he let his gun cling to his side.

Twelve more men entered the room and blocked all of the exits, leaving Scarlet to smirk at the rather pudgy guy who just spoke to him.

"What could you possibly want now?" Scarlet asked in a bored tone, challenging the rather small guy in front of him.

"Oh, you know what I want." The guy cackled, leaving a sickening taste in the pit of Scarlet's stomach.

Something bad was about to happen. Something really, really bad.

On instinct, he looked over to his sister and sighed in relief when she was sitting behind her date, completely hidden from sight.

The shorter guy looked to where Scarlet let his eyes linger and a venomous smirk grew on his face before he sent two guards to where his sister was, instructing them to get the girl.

Scarlet raced over to his sister and stood in front of her before the guys could get there, ready to fight off whoever dared to touch a hair on her head.

The guys charged at Scarlet and on impulse, Scarlet gave one of them a gnarly punch in the jaw and a kick in the crotch to the other.

He continued to fight off all the other men that came charging at him, punch after punch after punch.

But he was outnumbered.

He wasn't quick enough.

He wasn't strong enough.

Five guys charged at him at once and held him by his arms and legs while two others grabbed his helpless sister.

He kicked, thrashed, bit, spit, punched, and threw himself all over the place, trying to get out of their grasp, but it was too late.

They carried him and his sister to the back of the building where no one was watching.

"You'll pay for the hell you've put me through." The guy snarled before yanking Scarlet's sister's hair, making her jerk back and let out a screech.

"Don't touch her!" Scarlet screamed. He was angrier than ever.

"Please, don't touch her. Kill me if you want. Just don't touch her!!!" Scarlet screamed.

The guy let out a small chuckle and let his gun caress the girl's cheek. She let out a whimper.

Scarlet let out a low growl, continuously trying to fight off the guys that held him. One of them pulled out a gun and held it to his face, daring Scarlet to make another move.

Scarlet didn't care. He'd rather die then watch his own sister die. He'd do it if it meant his sister would still be able to live her life. 

"GO AHEAD! KILL ME YOU DIRTY BASTARD!"

The guy holding his sister cocked his gun and pressed it to her thigh, a daunting smile etched onto his horrific face.

The girl let out a loud cry and he pulled the trigger, giving her a fresh wound that oozed blood at a drastic pace.

He then put the gun to her arm and shot her again before shoving her down onto the ground.

The guys holding the hysteric Scarlet pushed him down over to his sister and he cradled her helpless body.

Scarlet ripped his shirt into three pieces, tying the fabric above her wounds and added pressure.

"Look at me Liz. You're going to be alright. Just be strong. You're going to be okay. Its okay." He assured himself more than her.

Rocking her back and forth, a tear slid down his cheek as he silently sobbed for his sister to be okay.

"I love you, Liz."

"Forever and always?"

"Forever and always."

She smiled at him and he couldn't help but return it before he heard a loud bang and his sister was dead instantly. The guy shot her right in the head, putting her out of her misery.

"LIZ! NO! LIZ! GOD! LIZ! YOU'RE NOT DEAD! YOU'RE NOT DEAD! YOU'RE OKAY! YOU'RE FINE! ITS JUST A DREAM! PLEASE! WAKE UP! WAKE UP! LIZ!!!!!"

He let out a heart wrenching sob as he held his lifeless sister in his arms, praying he was just imagining things and she was still alive.

He didn't want to believe it.

"Liz isn't dead.

She was sleeping right?

Yeah, that's it, she's sleeping.

She'll wake up soon and give me a glare for waking her up."

"She's dead my dear boy. I hope you have fun wallowing in pain. " the guy snickered, clearly enjoying the suffer he put Scarlet through.

He lit a match before tossing it down onto Liz's stomach, making her clothes glisten with fire.

In a hassle, Scarlet took off his jacket and patted down the flames furiously. The flames burned her clothing and her hair, leaving her beautiful brown locks to ash when Scarlet caressed them.

His sobs were loud and deafening, but he didn't care.

He just wanted his sister back.

"LIZ! ARE YOU OKAY! LIZ! WAKE UP! LIZ!!"

Scarlet's eyes flew open abruptly. His breaths came out short and ragged and his cheeks stained with tears. He woke up screaming and had a pounding headache. His heart was beating viciously,  threatening to beat out of his chest at any given moment.

He made himself calm down before laying back down, wide awake, knowing he wasn't going to get any sleep for the next week or so.
