Chapter Text
“Shh, shh, it will be okay…” the voice isn’t familiar to him, and the words do little to comfort him as he drops down on his knees into the redredcrimson that’s everywhere now. He doesn’t know what happened, and when he hears footsteps coming closer along with a vibrant gold glow he flinches slightly. But he’s not moving, he can’t move.
Everything had changed so quickly, it had been a normal day and then those things had appeared and he’s alone now.
“Shh, shh…” again, and he can’t help it as a sob finally makes its way out of his throat. The break of the first one is the straw that breaks it, and now he’s sobbing, friutlessly calling for his parents, for his extended family, friends, anyone. “Shh, it will be alright John… it will all be alright…” there are tears on the strangers face, as she gently reaches a hand towards him. “It will be alright, just… let’s get you out of here, this is no place for children…”
“Who are you? I don’t know you!” he cries, looking up at her with tears still streaming down his face.
“Shh, I’m your sister…” she says, and he blinks. He doesn’t know if he believes her but… He clings anyway. Sobbing. “Everything is going to be alright…” she hushes him, and her eyes faintly glow as he begins to feel tired. She gently rubs the back of his head. “Everything is going to be alright…” he closes his eyes… drifting off.
