Missing Pieces - z.m.

HOPE'S POV

"Hope, you have to go!" my twin brother whispered.

"No! I can't- I won't Daniel." I whispered back while a tear streamed down my face.

He took my face in his hands, wiping my tear with his thumb.

"Listen, don't cry. Please, don't cry. Macit and I will come and get you. We'll find you. I don't know when we three will meet again, but we will find each other. We'll find each other and we'll win this fight together.  Okay?"

[A/N- Macit's name is pronounced 'Ma-jid'.] 

Both our eyes are glossy now. I should just go with what he says, because I know both my brothers want the best for me, but now that my twin brother is here with me, and my older brother has escaped first to ensure they'd follow him and leave us alone, I don't want to leave my brother alone. I lost one already, not knowing when I'll meet him again, I'm not losing the other one either. 

"No, Daniel, you can't leave me! Let me come with you. Please. Please let me come with you." I hug him tighter than I am right now -which is pretty tight- if that's possible. 

If this was another time, and another place, I'd be worrying about my appearance, but this is no time to daydream about how I look. This is no time for jokes whatsoever. 

As he speaks, a tear streams down his face, "Hope, as much as I want to take you with me, I can't. If we go together, there's a higher possibility we'll both get caught. If we get caught, it'll only be Macit that they have to look for, then when they get him, we're all going to be done for. You hear me? We're all going to be done for."

"No Daniel! We can work this out. Macit is already gone. He escaped first. We can escape now, both of us. Macit wanted our safety, so let's be safe together."  I whisper-yell at him.

"No, don't you get it? We can't leave together. We won't be safe together. I don't want to put you in any more danger. We're already in too deep, we're not going any further."

"Daniel-", I start, but I get cut off.

"No Hope. You're going to leave first. You're going to escape and the second you go, I'm going too, but I won't follow you. I'm going my own way. Macit should be far gone by now. You're going to go now, alright? I'm going to escape minutes after you. Understood?"

"But-", I get cut off again by my brother.

"No buts, no Daniel, no nothing, you hear me? You're going to escape and you're going to escape now."

"No! I'm not leaving you here. We're going together, please. Just take me with you. Take me with you, I can't do this on my own. Please Daniel, please." My voice cracks at the end, and I can't do anything but cry again. 

I wish this never happened. I wish they never came into our life. I wish that nothing bad is going to happen. I can't fathom the thought of being alone, completely and utterly alone, without my family members. I won't allow my brother to go his own way after I already lost Macit. I can't and I won't allow it.

"Yes, yes you will!" Daniel yells at me. His face is stained with tears now, and I know how much he's hurting on the inside. 

"No Daniel. We're going together. We'll run and we'll escape together. Now, come on. We have to go before they come to the house again." I leave him no time to protest as I interlock my fingers with his and start dashing to the door.

Right as I opened the door, there he stood. I feel my heart sink to the bottom of my stomach, knowing that escaping was out of the bucket list. 

"Where do you think you're going?"
