The Sisters

I wont let Melinoe get you

Tsubaki's POV

It's cold, to cold. There's a shiver down my spin as I look around. My hearts hammers against my ribs like a drum. 'Theres ice, since when was there ice' my vision blurs and red takes over the cleanness 'since when is ice red' I thought my breaths coming out in punts 'why does it hurt so much? Why can't i move?'

"-baki-" 'That voice' "-ubaki-" 'Who is that' "Tsubaki-Nee-Sama wake up" 'am I sleeping? So this is a dream' I thought closing my eyes only to come face to face with wide pink eyes, glazed over with tears

"Hmm.. what's the matter luv did you have a bad dream" i asked my voice soft yet still filled with a remanence of sleep. She nodded her head then looked down at her hands. I lift her chin as her eyes meet mine i lean forward and wrap my arms around her pulling her to my chest "it'll be alright luv I won't let anything hurt you" I reassured "you know talking about your night terrors helps a lot, why don't you tell me what you dreamed about huh Yuki?" i asked

"There was a man her had silver hair...he was covered in blood but...he didn't try to hurt me he kneeled down and took my hand...he picked me up and began helping me...he was crying and whispering sorry he was so sad... but tsubaki-nee..he..he said..your name" her voice quivered as she hesitated with her words.

I looked at her with a smile "it will be alright i won't let anything happen to you" i told her weaving my hands into her long grey brown hair my hand brushing the rabbit ears that stuck out from on top her head "i'm here now luv, you can sleep, Melinoe won't get to you while i'm here" i told her

She looked up at me lip quivering "you promise?" she asked.

"Of course" i reassured "and i never break my promises" i told her smiling gently. I poled her close as i lay us both down into bed pulling the sheets up over our shoulders.

She snuggles closer to me looking for warmth "Good night Tsubaki-nee" she whispered her wineberry eyes close as i whisper softly "Good night luv"

I closed my eyes. I had promised Yuki a restful sleep and that's what she got. I on the other hand was not so lucky Melinoe made extra sure my dreams were filled with dark figures and blood. It was cold, it's always cold.
