Laughter in the Trees

Your point of view

Hoodie ran out of the room and I heard him tumbling down the stairs as got off the bed and rushed to Helen's side. I have a few questions to ask him.

"Helen...what's going on? Who's the CES and what do they want with Masky!?" I said, my voice shaking a bit as I felt tears coming to my eyes at the meer thought of my brother getting hurt. I don't know what they have to do with us or why they took Masky but judging by Hoodie's reaction I bet it isn't good. Hoodie is usually alsways calm and collected but now, just from hearing where Masky was, he lost his cool and was left with an undeniably pannicked attitude. I stared at Helen through my tears and noticed something I hadn't before. He was...crying.

A knot formed in my throat as I helplessly watched my big brother sink to his knees, holding his head in his hands. It looked as though he was a child trying to block out the world, saying to himself 'no, this isn't happening, it can't be'. He looked like he was trying to persuade himself that this was all just a nightmare and that he would wake up to see everything back to normal. He wept loudly and openly, his cries filled with such sorrow that it terrified me, even more than his madness, even more than anyone elses'. Every cry of pain and sorrow filled me with inexplicable dread that what he was going to say would be even worst than the horror in his voice.

I knelt down and hugged my brother close, my tears now falling freely too, damping his shirt as I burried my face in his shoulder. My heart ached just from seeing Helen's despair. I felt his breathing as his chest heaved in his sobbs. His breaths were short and shallow and, before I had time to see it happen, I could tell something was wrong. I pulled away to look at him.

He breathed loudly and unnaturally, his hands clutching at his heart. No. No, this can't be happening.

'Panick. Now would be a good time to do so, (Y/N)' Ame said.

I stood up and looked around for someone, frantically searching for help. Quick, think. Who's a doctor? Who can help you!? Come on (Y/N), you know nearly everyone in this mansion so who can help Helen!! My tears fell quickly down my cheeks as I called out, my voice breaking slightly.

"Help! Somebody help me!! Helen needs help! Someone, anyone, help my big brother!!"
I listened for a moment to see if anyone had responded and panicked even more when I got no response.

"Help me!!! ...J-Jack...Jack help me!!!"
Kneeling down, I took my now unconcious brother in my arms, hugging him close in a protective manner. I now wept uncontrolably and tryed to call out again but only inarticulate sounds came out of my mouth as my chest heaved quickly to keep my body's oxygen levels up. So I wailed. Like a little child who didn't know what to do. I felt so ashamed. So so ashamed of myself.

Then I heard it. The sound of hope coming my way, the sound I had complained about when I was trying to sleep the other day. I have never been happier to hear the sound of pounding footsteps coming up the stairs.

Jack rushed to my side, a panicked aura coming from him as he frantically knelt down to look at me.

"(Y/N), what happened!? What's wrong with Helen!"

My voice trembled a bit as I answered him, unsure of what actually had happened to my big brother "I-I don't know, his breathing hitched and he clutched his chest then he p-pased out...i-i didn't know what to do I-I-"

I could feel myself over thinking. What if it was too late? What if Helen was in big trouble because I couldn't react quickly enough? What if...he died because of my ignorance as to what to do in these circomstances? My thoughts were broken by Jack's hand on my shoulder. I turned to look at him, tears still flowing down my face.
