The Pact

I stood there, frozen and shock. I start to back away with shaky footsteps. My eyes started to water from sight I can see. He's standing there but not as a human being, but as a horrible and dangerous creature. 

"N-no...Big brother". I looked at the culprit who turned him into this. She just smiled with that glint of evil in her dark purple eyes that looked straight to my grey ones. 

"Oh yes, this is your brother. I hope you don't mind me using him for a while". She said as she walked to my brother and touched his chocolate brown hair, disgustingly. 

"Don't touch him!". I screamed. She just laughed crazily and transported to me. She held my chin and smirked

"If you want you brother, give me your beautiful voice...". She said. My eyes grew wide at her offer. I felt her hand slowly going to my throat and squeezed it. I choked and gasping for air. 

She suddenly got struck by a white stream of light. Her back collided with the tree trunk and she coughed up blood, unconcious. I fell to the ground, coughing and panting. I felt someone touch my shoulder, I looked up and saw him. The white-haired young man with two different eye colors. I met him when he was in his Owl form. He was being attacked by two grown wolves and it seemed like he was abandoned by his owner. I treated him daily then let him free when he fully recovered and that was the last time I saw him. I recognized him by his eye color. Hie left eye is color blue while the other one is blood-red. 

"W-what are you doing here?". I asked him and he just lend his hand to me.

"I'm here to repay the kindness you have showed to me". He said and he kneel with one knee still holding my hand.

"What are you doing?". I exclaimed, flustered at the situation happening to me, right now.

"Please take me as your familiar". I was shocked by the words he spoke out of his mouth.

"N-no! I can't!". I disagreed. " I can't take your life away". I said and let go of his hand. But suddenly, he grabbed both of my hands and his free hand with my waist. We were practially chest -to-chest. Being a familiar means you have to protect your master no matter the situation. However, if the master dies, the familiar will as well. Its loyalty will lie with only one master.

"Please...I am willing to be your familiar no matter the conditions". He whispered to my ear. I sneak a look to the purple-eyed witch. She was regaining her consciousness, I have to think quickly. I looked at him in the eye and held his face. 

"Are you sure?.You cannot take this back when we fulfill it". I said dominantly and strongly. He smiled and nodded. I gently pushed him away and started it. 

To create a pact with a familiar you must use your natural talent. I'm singing. I sang the tune of the pact of the fairies with angelic voices. I held out both of my hands and he grabbed it and sang with me. I felt it. I felt the bond between us starting to form and grow. White ribbon-like light encircled us and the light grew brighter and brighter. I came closer to him and whispered his new name. Then, the white streams shined to it brightest and turned into sparkles. I stood there with him in his owl form. He was standing in my arm. The purple-eyed witch's eyes were filled with fury and anger.

"Why you little!". She was going to command my brother but I cut her off.

"Silver...kill". I commanded.

His beautiful white wings sprinkled with black dots, expanded to its fullest. His eyes shined and flew towards my brother and shredded the monster body that it was attached to. My brother's body fell and it landed to my shoulder then I heard the last words that he said. 

"Thank you, Phoenixia....". The monster body disappeared and turned to ashes. The purple-eyed witch was wide-eyed. Silver looked at her and she just backed away and disappeared into purple smoke. 

I held my brother's body and looked at his lifeless black eyes. I looked at him and I broke. I wailed, loudly. My tears were filled with so much sadness and anguish. Streams of the warm liquid keeps on falling from eyes. Then I felt Silver suddenly hugged me. I covered my face and cried my heart out for my brother. 

After crying, me and silver decided to get out of the forest and go back home. When we got out of the forest, the sun was already rising. I smelled the fresh air of spring coming. 

"Silver, thank you". I said.

"Of course". I felt his warm hand in mine.

"Let's face the world, together, Silver". I looked at him and he smiled.

"I don't really have a choice, do I". I giggled and did as well. 

I felt the warm breeze flowing through my hair. I thought about my big brother. 

'Goodbye, Big Brother'.
