Thread: Though They Walk Through The Valley Of The Shadow Of Death (Quix & Aurelia)

Shh, Eve, it's okay. You're here now, with me. Muffled sobs seemed to release even heavier into her brothers chest as relief was the only feeling that could wash over her. Knowing his shirt would be soaked but nevertheless, not being able to stop as his arms merely embraced her tighter and her body grew weak from it's times of remaining so strong without his help. Many people usually wished for pleasant dreams, their place of Eden to appear, happiness to be said and given to them. As it was, Eve's Eden had always been in her brothers arms. A safety that only he could seem to give her while the world crashed down around them in their step-fathers own world. Soon as she had but a day before she turned eighteen, she had left. She didn't care if God tried to stop her, in the home or with a bolt of lightening, nothing would pause her. By midnight she would be an adult and no one could have a say. And as soon as she had met up with her brother, she hadn't ever wanted to leave his arms again. It's safe now. When the nightmares weren't entering her mind, this was the dream that appeared to please Eve the most. Her fairytale had started the moment she was free and her brother was with her in unity once more. It didn't seem to matter where they had found a place to stay, or the shitty jobs they had found, she only felt blessed that she had Adam with her all the time. But dreams only last so long, and fairytale endings aren't usually a real thing. The shift in their bed seemed to make her mind shift to a much more muted sleep when her brother had started to wake, but when the scream had released, her eyes fluttered open and she was sitting up with a shock as if their step-father had kicked open the door and was about to drag them back home. Adam! Adam... His name left her lips almost faster then what she was able to comprehend while her form shifted to face her fear struck brother. A hand finding his shoulder while one gently touched to his face as she moved to press her head to his chest. It's okay, what's wrong? Her voice tender, bringing him back up from whatever depths of hell he had fallen towards. Night terrors a thing they had come to realize they would probably forever be traumatized with, it wasn't uncommon for one to comfort the other when a string of events in memory would come crashing back to them in a flood they couldn't stop. But as her wide brown eyes seemed to search for the reason of his fear, they fell just as the familiar voice echoed in her ears as if whispering all the sins again to her. Her head turned slowly at the bright tv while the pupils dilated and she read the headline across the bottom. 'Police Chief David Magdalene runs for State Senator' Instantly she felt sick, her stomach twisting just as it had started to every time she saw him once Adam was kicked out and she left alone with him. Her body had practically melted towards her brothers own before her hand shakingly began to find the remote, peeling it from her brothers hand and with a rush, pressed whatever button she could find. The channel soon flipping up towards someone selling a set of pans, but leaving the trailer settle into a silence once more as only the rain outside was the sound between breaths. At least until she felt the rage bubble up and with a quick scream of her own, she chucked the remote across the bedroom to hit against the closet door as if that would help ground her. He was honestly trying to rise up even further and she couldn't believe people were actually falling for the devil in disguise.
