Chapter 4- Switched sides, and mixed feelings.  

Lynus still stood in front of me, and I felt the bothersome need to comfort him. I slowly walked close to him, and wrapped my arms around his bare chest. There was nothing better than hugs, to make you feel loved and protected. He wrapped his arms around me as well and I felt his tears hit my scalp as they fell from his eyes. I stood there warm in his embrace, and happy that he was finally letting it out.

“Thanks for everything Bristol. I’ll always be here for you, and you have my word that I will protect you forever.” He whispered.

“I know Lynus, I love you.” I said, speaking nothing but truth.

“I love you too,” he whispered again.

I stood there in his hug for hours, or until the final sign of day light shown over the magnificent trees that were surrounding us.

“I guess, I should go now, and you too. We have a lot to do, and we need some rest.” I kissed him on the cheek and then raced off headed towards home, the only place that could give me comfort at a time like this.

I braced myself for the questions that I did not have answers to, and the frustration that would come out on those who did not deserve it. I walked in to see my mother crying in my grandmother’s arms and my other brother standing against the wall with crossed arms and closed eyes. I walked immediately towards the couch and gave my grandmother a ‘What’s going on?’ look. Her eyes flickered to a note on the table. I noticed the handwriting and I did not want to face what was going to be in that note, I did not even want to read it, but I knew that I must. I picked it up, and began reading.

Dear Mother, Grandmother, brother, and sister,

I am deeply sorry to leave you like this, with nothing but a silly note. No hugs goodbye, no kisses, nothing, but it had to be done. I love you all more than anyone in the world does and you all know that. I will always fight to protect you all and I would never back down on that word. Mother you have taught me so many life lessons, and you taught me how to be strong when our father was not there. Grandmother you stood by my mom and helped her raise us, you helped to make me and my brothers who we are today. Bristol, you are my baby sister and I love you more than words can describe. I will always be your big brother, and you will always be my little sister, no matter what happens or how you feel. I will protect you from whatever harm comes your way, and I realize you have a big responsibility in the war that is why I addressed my issue in a note, so that no one would stop me, because surely someone would influence my decision if it were any other way. I remember when you were just a little girl with no worries in the world, you had no clue what went on and you grew up to be an even more stunning adult. You surely have made me proud, and I will always keep you in my heart. Blake, you my brother are the best brother I think anyone could have. Even though I am older, you have taught me many life lessons as well as being my partner in crime. We made pacts to stick by each other and I will stay true to that even if you do not, I respect your decision either way. All of you have my heart, my word, my respect to the end and I promise that. I hope that after this war we can reunite and be the family we always were before. However, with that being said I want to tell you all that I will be fighting alongside Bladeit and his group. I will never forget what our father did to us, and how he judged and criticized. I will never forget the way he treated mother, and the words he would spit at us. I will never forget how horribly he treated us and I cannot fight to protect people like that. I hope that you understand my reasoning, and that you never hate me for this. I would never harm any of you, and I will not do so in this war and I will do my very best to keep the others from harming you as well. We are the same people, but we are just fighting for different things. Therefore, no matter what happens, I want you all to know that I love you so very much and I hope this works out in the end.
