I turned to my little sister. She grabbed my hands. Her grubby palms reminded me of her once, bright and bubbly demeanour. She was now frail, constant tears consuming her face. She was five. She was only five.633Please respect copyright.PENANAgLyGI4pbdi
"Milenna," I cooed in an attempt to sooth her fears. "Do not be afraid. I won't lose you. See? I've got your hands."633Please respect copyright.PENANAwJr5EbY5Tn
Her face contorted into a more strained expression of pain. More tears clung to her jawline, rosy cheeks flushed. "I don't w-want to be alone," she mumbled in a slurred tone.633Please respect copyright.PENANA0f9k5koRMG
The light above us grew increasingly bright, demolishing the sky's atmosphere. Many began to choke, as did my sister. I pursed my lips, willing any sadness away. "I will wait for you, Milenna. I will wait for you as many lifetimes as it takes. I will find you. We'll never...be alone."633Please respect copyright.PENANABufQJFyCs9
With that, my lungs gave way. We perished in each others arms. I will find you in the next life, my darling sister.633Please respect copyright.PENANAhtfVjSPMW0
