The Advent Of The End

Chapter 4: Lost Hope

A couple of hours prior to the tragedy...

"Hey big sis"

"What?"

"I still can't believe it"

"About what?"

"About what happened a couple of months ago"

"Ohhhhhhhhhh" She looked away.

"Why does it feel that you are super guilty right now big sis"

"Nothing" She rolled her eyes.

"I know you're lying" He paused and looked straight into her eyes. The mark of guiltyness seen at her big sis's face "So, you were there after all" He said, feeling a bit angry and embarrassed about the confession that happened months ago. His eyes glaring daggers at his big sister for her eavesdropping on an important scene.

His big sis has been teasing him for the last couple of months, sometimes, she becomes quite clingy all of a sudden, as to why he wanted to find out, and he did.

Her sister, realizing that she was found out, then apologized wholeheartedly.

"I'm sorry my cute Evan!!!" She said, while trying to hug him, but he dodged, really angry to his big sister. She tried a couple more times to hug him, but he always managed to dodge the attacks, till she gave up.

"I'M SORRY!!!" She cried down on the floor, regretting the sin she has done towards her cute little boy. She sniveled along as she talked to him "I can't. Just. Stop. Worrying. About. You!" She continuously cried, till she bawled her eyes out. At first, he was still trying to act tough. After a couple of minutes, he gave in.

"Fi-Fine! I forgive you" He hesistated for a bit, but managed to say it anyway.

"Re-Really?" Her face glowed by what he said. After blowing in her handkerchief, she hugged him really tight, until he slowly suffocated to death.

"I spy with my own two eyes, a tsun tsun." A young man said outside the door. He is wearing a black formal shirt and slacks while wearing a white long sleeve inside.

"Shut it" Evan said.

"What's the formalities about, Dirk?" Clarisse asked, still tightly hugging Evan to death. Burying her face to his.

"Something, or someone, messed with the barrier in the village"

Evan looked at his big sis as her eyes slowly gone serious. She let him go and walked closer towards Dirk. They then talked about the situation a bit and Clarisse grabbed her cloak from the cloak stand. She walked again towards her little boy and gently rubbed his head.

"Just wait here for a bit Evan, as big sis just has something to attend to"

"Can I go with you?" He asked. Quickly changing his stance towards the situation.

"No" She coldly answered.

"Pretty please" He said with matching beautiful eyes. Trying to make himself cute while repeatedly blink. Clarisse got a nosebleed afterwards, staring at her boy.

"Ye-"

"No" Dirk said. He pulled Clarisse away from the boy while grabbing a handkerchief on his pocket. Clarisse still fought on getting Evan along.

"But why not?" She asked.

"Because he's the one we need to protect" He whispered closely to her ear.

"Nooooo" She still hesitated. He forcefully pulled her away till they got outside.

"I'll bring you your big sis back after we handled the responsibility at the village" Dirk said to Evan, focusing all his strength on not letting Clarisse go.
