Nearly a year later and she's having nightmares. Clenched fists and broken hearts, she sees her hand intertwined with his, counting the number of heartbeats she can feel through his fingertips before she breaks. Mind numb, vision blurred, the dream cuts and she watches him rise, sees eyes like the color of a rotting sea look at her, blues and greens melting in his irises.
She smiles, he frowns."Who are you?"The dream shatters and like broken glass she falls, catapulting into the real world before her lungs eat themselves and she chokes on her own breath, flying up straight in bed and gasping, sweat pooling on her skin. Again and again, over and over she feels his pulse and feels every memory he had escape his mind when he wakes up. Forgotten, she rises in the morning, and every afternoon she visits him hoping that he will wake up.
Hoping he will wake up, hoping he will remember.
But she's no knight in armor, this is no fairytale.
The crowds of the Capital just don't seem the same anymore, now that her brother has slipped into whatever fucked up state he's in. The orange strip of her hair falls into her face just as the clouds part , and for a second she burns like fire. Like a phoenix from ashes she raises her head, setting her jaw and surveying the bustle of an afternoon in the Capital.
And there he is, her instincts catch onto the slightest of bizarre activity. The sun illuminates him like a light in the dark and her brown eyes focus in, watching his movement as his head dips down, eyes wavering.
After a moment, he begins moving again.
After another, she follows.
