Ch1; Death

"Please... Don't... CLEAR!! No, n... , –EAR!!... DON'T YOU DARE DIE ON ME NERVAL!!!" Cries, despair, and hopelessness. Her sweet, yet mournful voice resounded in my memories like a fading echo, one that left an everlasting imprint, yet still fades away with time.

Her sullen blue eyes shined like crystal gems, her quivering rosy red lips, and her loose black hair.

'Who... Are you...? Why would you mourn me?'

Almost as if something inside me clicks. Just a simple passing thought, but this simple passing thought bought an answer to my doubts.

Family.

She was someone important to me. I felt sour at the mere thought of me leaving her all alone.

But no matter how much I did, no matter how much I tried opening my eyes, only the eternal abyss greeted me. Sheer emptiness.

The girl's cries resounded in my mind, her grief and pain, her shaking hands. It was but a blur, just a single moment and yet I was there. I could see my bloody hand at the edge of the hospital bed, the numerous apparatuses to keep me alive as my strength slowly left me, but it was just that. A blur.

Doctor? Nurses? None of that matters to me, in that single moment before I took my last and final breath, just me and her exist. Me and my... Sister.

{Transmission in process....}

'Just who am I to her?'

It was brief, yet I could faintly remember her mourning my death. I had a faint feeling dwelling inside me that I could not explain. Sadness? No it's not it. What is this? It's not ugly nor it hurts me.

Just remembering this strange feeling made my mind empty.

'Just was is this? She's my sister! The one I–?'

I couldn't finish my thoughts. It wasn't that I was interrupted, just couldn't remember, it was a simple faint feeling. It was akin to pride? No, I wasn't proud of her in that way. I wanted to be something for her.

A knight and shining armor.

Yes, that's right— I remember now. I wanted to be something that she could looked up to, I wanted her— I wanted her to see me as someone she can depend on— I promise her... I promise to always stay by her side yet—

Wh-what is this!!? It hurts!!!!

I could feel my insides are burning, it hurts. I could not scream, all I could do was endure this excruciating pain!!

Every around me fading. But the pain I felt was not subduing in the slightest, it still burns!

I—

The lone soul on the void drift asleep.
