Brook

I wake up in a freezing cold house at five-thirty in the morning. I have to get up to help my brother feed the baby cows, but it always ends up being just me. "Brook!" I hear someone scream right behind my ear so I scream dropping the bottles and punch him hard in the shoulder making him sore. "What in the bleeding hell Coda!" He just sits there laughing and holding his arm." You know I..it's not ladylike to throw food."

He says still laughing and I grumble and pick up the bottles muttering under my breath, " I'll show you something really ' unladylike' in a minute." He just laughs even harder. I grumble and decide to ignore him and finish feeding the cows.

He hugs me from behind still chuckling and apologizing," I'm sorry. I had to you looked so tempting to scare Brook." I just ignored him and when the cows finished their bottles I just pushed him out of the way to rinse them out, so I could feed them tonight without haste.

" You know for a sixteen-year-old you work harder than I do, and that is saying something girly." He says and puts his arm on my shoulder smirking at me. I growl at him off and walk away to finish feeding the rest of the farm. Then I went to turn on the water but am stopped by a hand being placed on mine." Sis... hey are you okay?" I try to ignore him but he grabs my hand tighter so I can't get away and he glared into my eyes to make a point he's not letting go till I answer truthfully. I sigh and look at him and hug him tight and he gasps hugging me back. I cry into his arms and he holds me letting me. The next thing I know everything goes black.

Everything is black and it is hard to breathe. I am tied to a cold metal chair in a cold cell. I try to move but it is impossible, and I wince at the sharp pain of the ropes that have been soaked in wolfsbane and laced with silver that is digging into my wrists. I stiffen and relax again to try and get the ropes loose, so they stop burning me, but they stick to my skin and my eyes start to water." Help! Someone, please help me!" I scream at the top of my lungs, but no one comes. I get to the point the pain is too much and I almost pass out but then the door opens to my brother, Coda is being thrown in and he is whipped all over his back and blood drips down his body. I whimper seeing him like this, but I can't move to save him. I never can

Then I wake up panting and sweaty in bed. This dream has been going on for weeks and I have no idea why. Every time I ask what is going on and how did that rope burn me when it is just a rope. Why was my brother whipped and tortured then thrown in and I am ignored? So many questions but no answers. There never is. I close my eyes and try to go back to sleep but it is not easy in the slightest. I fall asleep at four in the morning and exhale feeling my body go slack.

I am in a cell yet again and Coda gets thrown in bloodier than before. I scrunch my eyes closed not wanting to see this anymore. I wince feeling someone grab my hair and pull my head up making me look at my brother. Tears start streaming down my face and the man makes me watch as the other guard whips my brother. Coda winces in pain as the blood starts to stream down the muscles in his back. The guard holding me lets me go and chuckles." Stupid rouges. They never learn their lesson." The guard says and I glare at him." What do you mean stupid rouges' we aren't wild animals we are humans?"

The guard laughs and grabs my chin and pulls my face up," You won't trick me, young pup. You trespassed on my territory and now you will pay for it. No matter how innocent you act." I pull my face out of his hand and scream making his ears bleed and he falls to the ground holding his ears. They both leave then the room turns black and I hear Coda whimpering and then I hear bones snapping. I look over to where the sound came from and swallow hard, then all I hear is something big bang into the door. I start to fade away into a light and the last thing I remember is hearing a wolf howl, but I understood what the wolf said," Don't leave me again. Help me!"

I reach out to the wolf and it watches me with crystal blue eyes that remind me of my brother's soft demeanor. I touch the fur on the side of his face and he closes his eyes leaning into my hand. I inhale and freeze for a hot second then slowly start to smile and pet down his neck to his back. My hand feels warm and has almost a liquide feeling to it, so I keep petting his beautiful ashy grey fur. I pull my hand away and the wolf falls over on its side passing out, so I start to panic and try to shake him awake. I look at my hand and scream seeing the warm red liquid dripping down my hand. The blood wasn't completely what I was screaming at. It was the still-beating heart that sits in the palm of my hand that belonged to the wolf that now lays dead at my feet.
