The Brylar Chronicles

Chapter 2: I'm Glad You're Here With Me

Set after Episode 2  

Bree's POV  

'I think I'm going to Daven-Puke' I state to my father figure before following after Skylar as she takes a seat in our tiny, yet lovable kitchen.
I continue to drink my Strawberry smoothie as I sit down next to her.

My stomach is still sore from her 'bonding' with me all day. It did hurt slightly, but in a way, it was kind of sweet. After all it was her way of showing she wanted to bond with me, just in a different way than I'm used to.

My mind wanders off to what Kaz said about her earlier, 'Beautiful, Friendly and Incredibly Violent'. That is definitely an accurate description, 'She must really like you.' I sense the same feeling build up in my stomach from last night.

But I'm sure all these feelings are normal about having a new sister, right?

"Bree?" Her gentle voice brings me out of my thoughts.

"Yeah?" I ask, turning to face her on my stool. My hand absent-mindedly rubbing my stomach.

"I aske-. Oh, did I hurt you that badly?" She asked, cutting herself off once she caught sight of my hand. Her eyes filled with guilt as she furrowed her eyebrows.

"Oh. no,no,no. Skylar it's fine. I'm just used to seeing Chase being thrown around all the time. I'm not really used to being thrown around myself." I admit, tucking a loose strand of hair behind my ear.

"Are you sure?" She asks, placing her hand on mine which is resting on top of the counter.

"Yeah." A slight warmth starts to spread across my face as I stare at the unexpected contact.

"Alright then." She replies giving my hand a slight squeeze before slowly moving hers away.

"What did you ask me before?" I ask, lifting my head to look at her as I sip on my beverage.

"Well, I was just wondering if you would, maybe, help me adjust more into the real world. I still feel lost here in Centium City and since we'll be spending alot of time here, I figured it would be best for me to adjust properly into the new team and I thought who better to help me than you." Skylar tells me, evidently becoming somewhat nervous near the end as she brings the straw to her lips and practically inhales the remainder of her smoothie in 2 seconds flat.

"Skylar. Of course I'll help you. The first thing you need to learn is that there is nothing to be ashamed about asking for mine or anyone else's help." I smile as I place my now empty smoothie cup on the counter.

"Right, Nothing to be ashamed of." She confirms to herself still facing downwards. "I guess I've still got alot to learn then huh?" she sighs to me, unsure of what to do with her hands which are fiddling with the straw of her empty smoothie cup.

"Oh. So much." I honestly tell her before I slowly move my right hand in her direction, under her chin and carefully lift her head up. "But we will learn all of it together."

She sends another of her beautiful smiles towards me. We both fall silent and I feel Skylar's eyes searching my face as I absent-mindedly do the same.

If there has to be someone that I will learn and grow with, I'm happy that it's her.

"Bree." She breaks the silence, before latching her arms around my back. "I'm glad you're here with me." She tells me, pulling me into one of her hugs.

"I'm glad that you're here with me too Skylar." I tell her as we stay like this. My chin resting on her shoulder.

'BOOM!'

"Ahh!"

The sudden noises from behind cause us to jump apart and off of our stools.

I turn around to see smoke emitting from one of the chairs in the sitting room and my brother frantically spraying it with a fire extinguisher.

"Kaz!" Skylar chides.

I turn my attention to the young superhero. "Sorry." He shrugs. "I was actually just trying to swat a fly.." He chuckles to himself.

"With a fire grenade?" I question, raising my eyebrows.

"Of course not." He states like it was the most obvious thing in the world. "I was using Skylars hairbrush. Running around after it tired me out, so I yawned again and here we are." He states holding up said hairbrush with the dead fly splattered on it.

"You used my hairbrush!" Skylar exclaims.

"Well, I wasn't going to use mine was I?" Kaz retorts.

"That's it!" Skylar roars as she charges forwards.

Causing Kaz to give out a somewhat feminine scream before bolting into the Hydro-lift.

Acting quickly, I run forwards and grab Skylar by the waist, stopping and causing her to struggle but soon give up trying to wriggle free of my grasp.

"Lesson 1." I whisper in her ear trying to make it so Chase doesn't hear us over the sound of the fire extinguisher. "How to get back at annoying brothers."

I release my grip on her as she turns around, her eyes lit up with excitement.

"Now were talking!" She exclaims happily to me, a mischievous grin spreading across both our features.

We both turn our heads to look at Chase, who just so happens to have finished saving the chair and has turned his attention to us.

"Oh no." He states tiredly before discarding the extinguisher and racing out of the front door.

Skylar and I turn to each other, grin and nod in agreement before sprinting after him.

I'm so glad that she's here with me.
