Chapter 2

I find myself sitting on a swing at a playground. My body is out of breath, I had to take a break. Linda looked so sad when she said those words. 'Not capable of giving you what you need.' A little girl who had been playing in the sand screams and runs out of the playground.

"Hey," he says slowly.

"What?" I say.

"Hey," he repeats.

"Eh… that's not what I mean, what do you want?"

"Don't be so rude. We are leaving!" His voice is harsh and scary.

"No!" I protest.

"Yes, we are," he says forcefully.

"No."

"Yes." He starts to push my bottoms.

"No! No! I'm not going anywhere with you. I don't even know you." He face palms himself.

"Ok, but I know a lot about you. You were born in November, 459. You originally come from Nally."

"Wait! Are you a stalker? There is no way I could have a brother," I say.

"You saw the paper, didn't you? We come from the same source and your necklace.."

I interrupt him. "My necklace? How do you know about my necklace?" I ask suspicious. He takes of his hoodie. I end up staring at him. He must have understood I don't know what he is doing, because suddenly he comes closer. 2 meters, 1 meter, 10 centimeters. His eyes. I have seen them before. Crystal blue. Where? I shriek and fall backwards.

"It's you!" I bust out. He doesn't back off. I get on my feet.

"Yeah, its me.. now let's go."

"I'm not leaving with a creep like you." I start on my way back to Linda. A hand grabs my arm. Duglas lifts me up and starts to walk in the opposite direction. My feet wriggle along with my arms as I scream.

"Help! Put me down you idiot." People near us start to stare. Probably wondering if they should help or not. Duglas notices them too.

"Look, I mean listen. She threw you out, she don't want you anymore." I stop all movements. Duglas let me down at the ground. The people stops staring. He is right. I have nowhere to go.

"What now? Where are you taking me?"

"I'm taking you home." I lose the grip around my bag.

"Bu..but, that country has no order. Chaos runs in every street. Not to mention how far away it is. And, I don't trust you." It looks like he is reaching for my hand again, I hold it against myself, but instead he picks up my luggage.

"You don't need to trust me, let's go." My mind is spinning. What is his deal? A month has passed since I got a visitor in bed; yet, this jerk pretends it never happened.

"Wait! What did you want that night? Why were you in my be.. bedroom? Even though you are my brother, it's still rude to intrude a girl's privacy like that," I yell.

"Sorry, If you want to know, walk with me." He simply turns around and starts to walk.

"Wha..? Wait! What about Linda? I know she didn't mean what she said. I have to clear things out." He doesn't stop. How can someone be so cold? Linda is my best friend and mother. This is not the goodbye I want. My feet are on their way back home. Everything turns black.

The last words I hear before passing out is "Its okay." What? It's not okay. What did he do to me?
