(( whoo! Longer update!))
Tear rolled down my ivory face as I silently cried to myself. Why was I having these nightmares? Are they visons of something to come or was I being paranoid? I hugged my knees and closed my eyes hoping to get some more sleep; this time, things were different. Everything was dark and cool like the brisk summer night. there was no violence, no screams of terror...just silence. A hand laid on my sholder,and when I turned to see to whom the hand belonged to, I gasped. The person was me....or what I used to be.
Short dark brown hair, blue eyes and freckles going across the brigde of her nose. Everything I was before this horrible nightmare began, was apparent on her. She looked at me with blank eyes; I knew what she wanted so I spoke first.
"I'm not going near him anymore." I said looking straight into her blank eyes. She blinked twice and tilted her hear to the side.
"The fact still remains that you and he are family."
"There is a river between us now and I don't want to get wet."
"Blood is thicker than water." she retoted. I looked at her with anger. She knew nothing of the hard ships that I had to suffer. What I had seen, I wouldn't wish upon anyone. She just didn't get it at all.
"You are selfish." She said flatly.
My angry heated up once more,"What did you say?"
"Have you ever once thought about what he feels? The fact that he can't come three yards close to you without you screaming as if the Devil himself was on your heels. He's been through much more than you. He constantly fight for control of his own body because he's trying not to revert to that monster that destroyed the labs.
He never once complained about being a giant but at night he cries himself to sleep because he can never do the things a normal person can do. He cannot even get married to that girl you know he adores! So don't you dare go on about your hardships! Yours do not even come closer to his! Shape up, get a grip and stop conplaining! You have been a child longer than most have been alive. It's time you act like a young adult...if you don't you'll drive him away...and the both of you will have nothing."
And with that, she disappeared, as if she never was there in the first place. I reflected on what she said. Maybe I have--no, I was being selfish. I made him seem like the bad guy when in reality, I was. I thought only of how his being would affect me and me alone. I had no idea how he felt or what he had to endure through this time of his life, but that would soon end. I'd was going to rebuild our relationship...and this time it would stick.
When morning came, I went into my brothers room,after an hour of wandering and ttying to figure out where it was. His medium hair covered his face and fluttered as he breathed in and out. Lucky for me, his arm was hanging over the side of the bed and was about four feet of the ground. I sure was grateful that he like low beds. I climbed on his hand and up his arm, wondering when I got so atheltic; maybe I did take to the serum better than I thought I did.
After the climb, I sat right in front of his eyes. Last time they were bigger than me,now they're half my size. Did he shrink in his sleep?
