It was Tate, my ten year old brother. Huddled up in a fetal position in the bottom of the cupboard. He raised his head and looked up at me. I was scared for what I was going to see. what if he was like my dad? He looked weak and scared. his eyes were all red and puffy from crying. I bent down and cradled him in my arms and asked him a lot of questions.
"Eilish?" Tate asked in a croaky voice.
" I'm here, what happened?" I asked.
" Well," he started. " I woke up really early because I had a really bad dream" he paused.
" Yeah, go on" I said.
" And I went up stairs to mum and dad's room and they weren't there. So I went to check the bathroom and I saw mum in there. I ran over to see her and give her a hug but she told me to stop. I asked why. She said that she was sick and that she was never ever going to get better. I asked her what she had and she just said leave. She said she was going to become someone else, some one mean and that she might try to hurt me. She told me to not go near her at any costs or I might catch it. And then she said dad was the same. She said the sickness took a while and she didn't know when she was going to change to that 'other' person. She said the only way I would be safe would be to go hide. Hide deep in the basement she said. And then she shoed me out of the room and locked the door. I did what she said and hid in here. But then I heard noises. Bad ones. I heard foot steps and doors open and close. I heard growls and thought it was mum as the new person. And that made me very sad so sad to make me start crying. It was kinda like the dream I had last night." Tate sniffed his nose and cuddled me a little bit tighter.
" It's ok." I said. " Everything's going to be all right." I stroked his head as he nodded of to sleep. He was so exhausted I could tell. I switched the light off and headed back upstairs. We stayed in his room that night seeming mine was taken by my 'father'. It was a rough sleep but we made it through the night with out too many issues. The next day we were ready to head off hoping to find somewhere better to settle down.
