CHAPTER 3: KYRIE'S FEAR
Kyrie rolled on his big bed impatiently as the rain started. He couldn't sleep, as the lightning and thunder kept on flashing and frightening him. he wished that he was older, maybe 15 like Dj, and not 7 years old then he wouldn't be scared. His big brother wasn't scared of anything at all, just like their dad, he was cold and aloof. He used to think that his brother had no joy, that someone had carved up the joy in him. it was very hard to see Dj caring about something or someone. He just never bothered about anything, he guesses. Whatever happen should happen.
Dj hated spending time, with Kyrie, he hated playing or having fun. All he does, is too stay cooped up in his room, playing videogames or watching magazines of ladies in bras and pants.
He had a crazy collection of it, Kyrie always wondered what his big brother saw in them yet he couldn't ask him directly, because that would mean he snooped in his room, when Dj wasn't around and that would make Dj, pissed.
He huddled under his bedcover but the thunder soon had him scrambling out of bed. He raced to the window, as he looked out, he could see nothing but the ocean and the waves were in a frenzy. Gulping loudly, he quickly shut the blinds and raced for the telephone dragging it to the bed as he dialed his father's line.
Their father was on a trip but had promised to be back tomorrow, he just wanted to call and confirm because he hated the loneliness of the house. He sometimes wished there were more people living in the mansion apart from the butler and the maids and the chef.
But there wasn't, apart from his dad and Dj, the house was just empty. And he hated being alone more than anything.
Dialing his father's number, he out the phone top his ears and waited as the line hummed, before it was picked,
"Hello… the deep voice said as Kyrie clutched the receiver tightly and said,
"Daddy, are you awake?
"Kyrie, why are you awake by this time. Dj, told me he put you to sleep hours ago… Damien's voice became softer as he sat propped up on his bed, he was on the verge of falling asleep when the call came. He was annoyed and ready to lash out at the offender not knowing it was his son.
"Yes, dad, he did. But I woke up, just now. Daddy, it is raining over here, and it is scary. When are you coming back again? He said as Damien replied,
"First thing tomorrow morning, I will be on the flight back home okay. Just hold tight, once you sleep and wake up, preferably after breakfast, you would see me.
"Okay daddy, if you say so, but promise me you won't stay another day, there.
I won't, I have no intention of staying here, any longer than necessary. Damien said, massing his forehead, his brain was pounding like crazy, he needed to sleep away the pain.
Okay daddy, I hear you, but how do I sleep this night. The lightening is making my room to be haunted. I already turned on the lights but it didn't help. Kyrie said in a scared tone as Damien replied.
How about going over to Dj room to spend the night with him, in bed. You won't feel that lonely again, would you?
No dad, I won't. Thanks. I will go do that now. Kyrie said with new found excitement,
Good, good night dear, see you tomorrow. He said as Kyrie nodded his head and cut the call. Immediately leaving it on his bed, he raced out of the room and made his way to his brother's room down the hall as fast as lightening as he opened the door and entered.
Everywhere was pitch-black as only a bed lamplight could be seen, his big brother was laying on the bed, looking at the ceiling.
What do you want now, Kyrie? I am not in the mood to play games with you. Dj said roughly as Kyrie should his head slowly. He was a bit sad, he thought his brother wouldn't mind him staying. Should he tell him the reason or should he suck it up and go back to his room and try to sleep. He decided on the former. There was nothing bad if he came clean to Dj.
I didn't come here for games, I came to spend the night in your room, I am terrified of the lightning and thunder in my room. Kyrie said as he could feel his big brother gaze on him.
There was silence, for a few minutes as lightening flashed as Kyrie gaped before followed by thunder which rocked the room. Kyrie quickly ran to the bed, burying himself near it.
"Okay fine, get up here. I guess you can stay but just this night. Dj said as he helped pulled his brother onto his big bed and placed him under the duvet. Dj raised his eyebrow up in surprise. Who was scared of lightning and thunder nowadays. His little brother was truly full with surprises.
Kyrie shifted closer to Dj and said, slowly,
"Will you protect me from the lightning and thunder and make sure, no one carries me, in the middle of the night. The monsters always come at night. Kyrie said in a timid voice as Dj rolled his eyes, yet replied.
"Sure, I won't make sure they carry you, but no kicking me and definitely no bed wetting, or you won't enter my room anymore. Dj said in a note of warning as Kyrie nodded his head, drifting slowly to sleep.
"I have the best big brother in the whole world. He mumbled before sleeping. Dj smiled as soon as he heard this and wrapped his brother closer, also as he drifted to sleep.
