What? Apr-
"Sister!" The voice of the young boy cries again.
I turn around to check where the voice is coming from, and see a young girl trapped under some burning debris.
At the rate it's going, the fire will catch up to her position underneath and burn her alive.
"April! Sister!" The boy continues to cry. "Someone help us! Sister!!"
Sigh. What the hell? It looks like this April is his elder sister. That was a bit... dumb of me. There's no way he'd be here. Even though I know that in my head, for a second I couldn't even hear the sound of my own thoughts over the sound of my heartbeat.
Wait... heart... beat? Ow!
"Shit,"
Clenching my chest in a futile effort to stop my rapidly beating heart, I let a curse slip past my lips. "Hah. It's been a while since I've felt this pain."
"April! Sister hang in there! I'll get you out!"
Would you shut up?! You're making this worse.
