Brandon Willows:

I'm currently sitting in the passenger seat.... of an alien robot. This... this is insane!!

The only reason I agreed to come was because my baby sister was in dire need of me. Well... not me. Just the blood of a relative. Could I be considered that though...? I mean... no wait never mind that... if they don't know, it doesn't matter.

All that matters is that I have what I need to save her. How and where I got it doesn't matter. As long as she lives and doesn't find the truth...

I may seem like a horrible, horrible brother... but I still care about little V. Little V was her nickname as a kid. But she isn't a little kid anymore. She was thirteen now...

And was friends with alien robots! I still haven't been told much about the last few years. Tessa occasionally told me stories and little facts about V, some she couldn't share. 

She said it was up to V to decide to share with me or not. But that's not exactly what she meant. I knew the hidden meaning behind her statement. It really meant that it was up to V to tell me the stories, IF I was allowed to stick around long enough to hear them or not.

I rubbed my temple hoping that my little sister would forgive me for what I did to her. Or rather... what I didn't do. Which was go back for her when I had the chance.

I was just too hurt and mentally unstable to come back for her. I had finally gotten my life together and I planned on coming back, I really did. On Ivory's eighth birthday I was going to get her, till I found out my girlfriend was pregnant.
I decided to push back the date and celebrate the news. I told her and myself I'd go back for V after the baby was born.

But months later, my girlfriend Kaylin gave birth... way ahead of schedule. Our baby boy was three months premature and died. But when Kayling gave birth... she bled out.

The doctors couldn't save either of them. I lost both of them. My son, and my beautiful girl, and was soon to be fiancé. I was a wreck for months afterwards. I fell into a state of depression I thought there was no cloning back from. I thought about suicide.

At least till I got the call from him. He pulled me from my depression and helped me get back to my life. His name was Gavin. And he was my best friend, my colleague, and we considered each other brothers.

But by that time... I had realized that Ivy wouldn't need me anymore. That she probably never wanted to see me again or forgot about my entirely. So I didn't bother going back after being away for so long.

Tessa told me that she only spoke of me once of all the years she's known her, and it wasn't even to her. It was to some Autobot named Optimus.

I felt bad, I truly did. I was a horrible brother.

I still am.

I left Ivory right after both my parents died. But they were her parents too in a way... not just mine. And honestly, she was closer to them than I ever was, Ivory was like the perfect child everyone wanted. I shook the thoughts from my mind as we arrived at the hospital. A man was standing outside as the car skidded to a stop, it's screeching tired echoing down the street. Tessa flung herself out and threw herself into the man. Cade came to me and led me inside where everyone was rushing.

"How is she? "

"She's not doing too well.... " Shane said sadly.

Arriving to her room doctors and nurses rushed in, on the bed was a deathly pale... and still... was the small body of Ivory.

Her heart had stopped, she wasnt breathing. She only had two minuets to come back before her organs would shut down and there would be permanent brain damage. The did CPR first, then went to the paddles. Shocking her once with no response...

Twice with no response....

Three times with no response......

The fourth time they put much more power into, her heart began to beat again.

"Yes! Come on Ivy.... Keep fighting! We're here now. " Tessa cried at the window. I was frozen in my place. I wanted to look away but my eyes were glued to my little sisters lifeless body. Her heart stopped again. The doctors fought to bring her back again. "Ivy! "

Tessa cried out desperately.

"What do I meed to do....? " I asked.

"Wha- ? " Tessa looked at me and she nodded.

"Nurse! " She called out. A woman came over with her clipboard just as Ivy began breathing again. "We have a blood relative for her surgery. Can you do it now? "

"O-oh Of course! Are you the blood relative?Please come with my sir. We must be quick. "

I followed the woman inside Ivys room and sat beside her. I took her small hand and stroked her now long hair. "Ivory.... I'm here now.... It's me... I'm here and I'm not leaving again.. "

Unless you tell me to...

There was a small squeeze and I allowed my arm to relax as the needle went into my left arm. I watched the blood enter the tubes and after an hour they ushered me out. As the nurse went to fetch the surgeons, I quickly replaced the blood vials and exited the room.

They'll never know. But Ivy will survive.

I stayed in the lobby with Tessa, Cade and Shane, who I learned was Tessa's father and boyfriend. The Yeager family had adopted my little sister. I wondered why she was adopted though, and I wondered what happened to our uncle. Not that I cared. Maybe he's dead. Good riddance to the old bastard.

After hours and hours the Nurse returned. "Is she okay? "

"Can we see her?"

"Where is she? Was it successful? "

She raised a hand. "One question at a time please. And I need you all to sit down for this. "

Wet all sat down except Cade. He asked in a scared voice. "No. Why? Why do we need to sit? "

He demanded. My hands shook. The blood should've worked... so what was the issue?

"D-Did she make it through surgery...?"


The doctor said nothing.
