“lood“at me!” he boomed causing me to snap my eyes open. He was closer to her now, I wasn’t sure how he got to where she was since there was no road to where they were. His eyes were white.
I could breathe, a little better now with a little difficulty, whatever choke hold she had on me starting to disappear.

Despite my refusal to go near him, he carried me to the bed, placing me on it gently, before he let me go, rushing out of the room.

I opened my eyes to the familiar ceiling and someone holding my hand, I watched as he cradled it so softly as he was afraid he would break it, the woman was still there, she was the one that noticed I was awake. She sent him out, saying she had to check

“you have a lot of things on your mind” she said, sitting beside me on the bed. “look, my brother might not be the most loving, but I can swear he is not that bad” she joked.

“what?” she looked at me, a little shocked that I talked to her.
“Helios, what is he like?” I needed to know, maybe I was overthinking it, maybe there was a reason he decided to play with my emotions this way, a very valid one, I was trying so hard to still have hope that it wasn’t even true.
