I walk a lonely roadThe only one that I have ever knownDon't know where it goesBut it's only me, and I walk alone
"Clio? Cliiiio!"
The voice penetrates her already busy mind. She huffs, her fingers massaging her temple as she turns to face her younger brother. He was only nine, and yet he had the lungs of a 12 year old, and he would not let forget it.
"CLIO!"
Anger flashes through her as she whips to face him, her eyes burning with rage and frustration. "What?" she growls, and instantly she regrets it. His face falls, and tears begin to well in eyes that look identical to her mothers. Sighing, she forces herself to smile at her little brother, reaching out to tuck him in close to her body. "I'm sorry, I should not have snapped." She says, as she places a kiss on the crown of his head. "What is it? You know I have to take care of lil sis at the moment. She is ill. You understand that, right?" She pulls away from him, kneeling down so that she could look him in those eyes that made her heart ache.
"But you haven't played with me," he sniffles, as he wipes his nose on the back of his hands. "You are always helping her."
A sigh falls from her lips, but she reminds herself that he is just a boy, that he doesn't under stand. "Look, Jasper, how about you go take this to you sister," she had him a damp wash cloth, Place it on her forehead. "I need to leave for a little while-" she cuts off his protest with a stern look-" I need to leave, but I will be back before you know it. And I promise you, then I will play with you."
Reluctantly the boy takes the cloth nodding as Clio heads for the door, towards the market which she prayed to Ripred would help save her sick sister.
