The ringing sound carried on as I stare at my brother in disbelief...he seemed strange,but there is no point in staring.I grabbed him by the arm and dragged him out of his room as the house began to cave in, I felt different...as if I was a thousand times lighter. I knew it was just adrenaline though, I ran towards the window, knowing it was my only way out and picked my brother up. as we were falling my brother slipped out of my arms but didn't let go of my hand, he held onto it and his nails dug in...but mom always cut his nails short, had she changed it?
I was filled with questions but the only thing I can do is make sure kai (my brother) is okay. As we fall to the ground I notice that there is a weight on my back and my arms wont move when I tell them to...I can feel in my shoulders that my arms are moving (though it feels as if they are pushed back) but they don't move visibly...and there is a new weight on my back. But all I can do is run. I also notice that as I look at kai he has left his Halloween costume on...it was nowhere near Halloween but i guess he was trying it on? I don't remember the contacts though....and the moving ears! I was starting to get worried, it was distracting me from keeping at the same pace as him. Though it shouldn't be a problem because he was only nine, and I was sixteen he kept overtaking me! Maybe he had some sort of adrenaline too, I had concluded that all of this was adrenaline. but as we reached a safe distance kai was still much faster as we walked. We found a place to set up camp in a forest. I would have never have found it if it weren't for kai, he recalled smelling water...not sure how that should work though... he probably smelt the morning dew. We set up a campsite there and waited until morning. we hadn't talked to each other through this whole experience, I think the shock of it all made us unable to speak. Kai was staring at me as if he was terrified of me, as if I was going to sprout wings and carry him away...
I quickly started a conversation...
"...are you okay?" I asked
"y-you *indecipherable*" he replied...
I couldn't tell what he was saying apart from "you" so I changed the subject.
"uhm...can you take your halloween costume off?" I was visibly confused.
"I-Im not wearing one!! A-and you take yours off too, its scaring m-me..." kai was terrified, or so it seemed.
"stop with the games kai.This isn't the time to joke." I said, in an effort to seem more mature
"Stop! I don't like those wings you've put on..." kai shouted.
"I'm not wearing wings...look I can't feel an-"
that was the.moment when everything changed...
