As if being told that i'm going to die wasn't bad enough...
"sister..."
She gave me a warm smile.
" I heard you fainted, are you alright?" she looked a bit concerned, she hanged her coat on the chair.
"yea I suppose" I smiled awkwardly.
She looked at Riven and looked visibliy delighted.
"are you Echo's friend?" she asked it as if she had seen a pig fly.
"yes." Riven answered sternly.
friend.
"why are you here?" I asked my expression also turning stern.
"aw can't I visit my little brother when he's sick?" she asked her voice dripping with honey
I scoffed
" Leah, I know better than anyone that our family wouldn't be so considerate to visit me over a fainting"
She gave me a wicked smile, I squirmed.
"excuse me," Riven interrupted.
Leah turned towards Riven and gave a how-dare-you-interrupt smile.
"yes?"
"we were talking about something important here, please leave"
"so Echo, this is your friend? if you dont mind Echo and I have more pressing matters to discuss"
She turned towards me
"mother asks you to come back" she said, not wiping her stupid smile
"Leah, no matter how much you try I will not go back" I said firmly although underneath the hospital blankets my hands are trembling.
The clock on the hospital walls slowed
Riven.
Leah froze.
"want to escape?" Riven asked concerned. I tried to hold Riven's hand but it passed through.
"don't worry, there's lots of time"
************************************************************************
I have a younger brother.
He's a strange one
Well, everyone in my family is
He can see death but he's never been scared of it though
My mother has a secret ability and my father is a chrono-empath, ie, he can sense emotions by touch.
My grandpa is apprently not from this world and my grandma? a human
My younger brother sometimes see the things left to be unseen
Lately, it has gotten worse
Perhaps because my granma is a huma I had no special ability. There's something I have better than anyone,
Money.
My mom wants Echo to inherit her position but h always ends up refusing, hello? Im here too?
At least I can see what's real
Although not genetically, I am pretty sucessful in life. My days were always the same.
Today was different.
My brother fainted from a nosebleed (geez)
He looked like he was talking to someone.
This person...
Their glitching.
Red hair.
I was exited my brother had made a friend none the less.
odd friend
While talking I sometimes forgot he existed.
After confronting Echo, they...dissapeared?
No.
They were fast...
How?
-dam
-adam
Madam.
"Keith..." I looked at the ex idol trainee who is now my secretry due his family betraying him.
"Madam I have told you many times not to space out..." Keith said with concern
I smiled genuinely.
Keith was caught off gaurd. Cute...
"Keith, do you think my brother made friends with a supernatural?" I was ready to be bombarded with complains and an over explination of my schedule.
"considering how he can see death, the probabilities are not low" he said with a calculating gaze and pulled his specs up.
You never cease to amaze me.
"keep an eye on Echo...a hawk eye" I ordered.
