A Lost King

Innocence Gone

Maria: His youngest sibling. She has dark brown hair and light brown eyes. She would be 16 now.

Kito started on about his sister's death. After whining and griping about his brother.
She was such an innocent little girl. A year has passed since your brother died. I was walking through the hallways with my hands in my pockets. I sighed glancing out the window that showed the swingset Nex had died next to. I glanced up at the cieling and hummed letting my voice fill the empty void that was the halls of the castle. No more of my younger siblings playing. No more annoyed yells from my older two. Nothing. I continued walking until my foot brushed against something. I looked down and screamed. It was her. Maria. First my brother now her?! I held her close to my side. My parents rushed in and sighed.

"Why, why would they kill them? Why would someone kill them?!"

I screamed. My father held me and my mother looked at her up and down. Later during the autopsy it was discovered she was molested before she died... and strangled to death. Why would someone.. hurt them. They were.. she was innocent. Why would someone. TOUCH. HER. SHE IS ONLY 5!!! Some sick.

"Why would someone molest her dad?"

I ask. He just couldn't give me the answer. I sigh. We go to her funeral the next day. Mezon held me through most of the funeral. I take out the doll that mom gave her for Christmas, and put it under her hands. She loved this doll. I kiss her head and we go home. The bow I gave her sits in my hands. I stare down at it while walking to the basement. To see the same boy writing a note on her pedestal. He turns around and looks at me.

"H-hey..Mezon."

I walk over to him and hug him.

"Hi..Kito. You..r-remembered my name."

Of course I did? Why would he think I wouldn't. Silly boy. We hugged for awhile and then he left. Why would I forget the only one comforting me in times like this? He is so sweet. I wandered around the house not knowing what to do.

"1 2, I love you, 3 4 there's the door, 5 6, they have tricks, 7 8 out of date, 9 10 sing again."

I mumbled walking down the hallway to my room. Both of my younger siblings. Are my older ones next?... Th-then my parents? Oh. No that can't be what's happening. They can't all leave me. I mean. Mezon will comfort me, but that won't ever be enough. I walked to my room and slept.

I love you Kito. I'll always be there for you don't worry. I'll be there to hold you. Will you be there for me? In sickness and in health my love. So, warm such a warm feeling. I love it.

I wake up the next day I wake up and lay in bed, not wanting to wake up. Mezon is standing over at my door. He has a present and slowly walkes over and hands the gift to me.

"H-happy birthday my p-prince."

I blush and take the present. He remembered my birthday?

"Th-thank you!"

I open it and it is a picture of him. I smile and we laugh. He hugs me and leaves. I run to my room and put it on my sode table. I will always cherish this present. I will always be your friend Mezon. I miss you.
