"He was- he was always so fussy about the protection, and I was a rebellious kid." It was getting easier, but not by much.

"I can see that." Graham said.

by **feathertail** Sat Jan 09, 2016 3:56 pm

"I just wanted to prove him wrong, so I shut it off. I went to my room and ignored everything."

by **Sofie Berry** Sat Jan 09, 2016 4:07 pm

"And then?" Grahamasked. He had nomemory of that day, he hoped nothing horrible had happened, besides the obvious.

by **feathertail** Sat Jan 09, 2016 4:08 pm

"You- you started screaming."

by **Sofie Berry** Sat Jan 09, 2016 4:10 pm

"Come on, get it all off your chest." Graham said.

by **feathertail** Sat Jan 09, 2016 4:11 pm

"You were a noisy kid. You screamed at everything. I- I though you were just being annoying again."

by **Sofie Berry** Sat Jan 09, 2016 4:12 pm

"I would have thought the same." Graham said, hoping to make Alex smile, even a little.

by **feathertail** Sat Jan 09, 2016 4:13 pm

"So I just left you screaming. It wasn't-" Alex choked. "It wasn't until it stopped and Dad ran in that I realised what I'd- what I'd done."

by **Sofie Berry** Sat Jan 09, 2016 4:16 pm

Graham frowned. "Why did I stop screaming?" e asked, more to himself than Alex.

by **feathertail** Sat Jan 09, 2016 4:17 pm

"Because you were dragged outside until I couldn't hear you any more," Alex whispered.

by **Sofie Berry** Sat Jan 09, 2016 4:19 pm

"Okay, well, go on." Graham said.

by **feathertail** Sat Jan 09, 2016 4:20 pm

Alex stuttered at his brother's tone.

by **Sofie Berry** Sat Jan 09, 2016 4:22 pm

"Sorry, continue." Graham said quietly.

by **feathertail** Sat Jan 09, 2016 4:23 pm

"Dad- he was- he was so angry..."

by **Sofie Berry** Sun Jan 10, 2016 2:26 am

Graham patiently waited.

by **feathertail** Sun Jan 10, 2016 3:35 am

"He went out after you and I followed. It was a hellhound. I could see from the claw marks it left on the floor of the house..."

by **Sofie Berry** Sun Jan 10, 2016 9:47 am

Graham pulled up his shirt sleeve and looked at a scar."Did I get that from it?" he asked.

by **feathertail** Sun Jan 10, 2016 10:03 am

Alex nodded silently.

by **Sofie Berry** Sun Jan 10, 2016 11:37 am

"What happened after that?" Graham asked Alex quietly.

by **feathertail** Sun Jan 10, 2016 11:40 am

"Dad dragged me after him and we followed the tracks. He got you out, and sent me back with you. I put you back in the house and put the protection up and went back for him. I got there just-" he choked. "Just as it tore his throat out."

by **Sofie Berry** Sun Jan 10, 2016 4:16 pm

Graham slowly wrapped his arms around his older brother.

by **feathertail** Sun Jan 10, 2016 4:18 pm

Alex leaned into his brother, chest heaving.

by **Sofie Berry** Sun Jan 10, 2016 4:22 pm

Graham hugged him tightly and tried to soothe him.

by **feathertail** Sun Jan 10, 2016 4:22 pm

Alex eventually stilled. "I'm sorry," he whispered.
