"Rae…?" Raven opened his eyes drowsily to find he was alone. His heart started racing. Where did she go? She probably just went to get food, stupid. But what if she's hurt?! I can't lose someone else! Calm down.

Rae ate her cereal then turned on a movie on her iPad.
Raven got out of bed, looking around anxiously. "Rae? Are you there?"
“I’m here. What’s wrong?” Rae saw that raven was freaking out.
"Nothing… I-I'm fine, I just… I thought you left…" A pink tint came to his cheeks and he looked away, embarrassed.
“It’s okay. I’m safe here with my spoon to defend myself.” Rae said jokingly. She jumped up and held the spoon as if it was a sword. “On guard!”
Raven jumped a bit, startled. "It's not you I'm worried about, really… I… I-I don't want to lose you."
Rae stopped her joke. “I don’t want to lose You either.” She stepped over and hugged her brother.
Raven hugged her back, trying not to think about their parents. They had died a few years before, leaving twelve year old Raven with Rae, who was only sixteen at the time. Rae had become a sort of guardian or parental figure for Raven, and he didn't want to lose that protection again.
“I miss them too.” Rae whispered.
"You never told me what happened to them… I… I was too young, wasn't I?" Raven looked up at Rae. All he knew was that his parents were dead, not how they had died.
Rae nodded. “I was worried how you would react, you didn’t need to know at the time.” She said.
Raven hesitated, his voice catching in his throat a bit. "…W-well?"
Rae sighed. (Wait how should they have died?)
(Uh gotta be something bad for her to not tell him… got their spines ripped out in from of Rae? That's the only way to kill a Lycan after all, at least when they're not in their human form)
“Som-Someone found out that they were like us. That person broke into our place one night while we were in bed. I heard a noise outside our room, so I got up and crept into the kitchen. Out parents were in their human forms when the person killed them. I was watching in horror, they luckily didn’t see me.” Rae had tears in her eyes. “I tried to get you out before you could see what happened.” She sniffed then turned away from Raven. She wiped her eyes.
(That good?)
Raven's eyes stung with tears and he looked away, heart pounding. He remembered hearing screams that night, and Rae quickly rushing him out of the house looking terrified. He could imagine his parents dying, knowing the only possible way people like them could die. The tears fell from his eyes, and he realized he was holding his breath after he started seeing stars. He wanted to say something, but words were useless right now.
(ye)
Rae was crying.. “I still remember the man, although I try to forget. I could’ve done something. Yet I just stared and watched them die.” She blamed herself.
Raven tried to speak, but he coughed, his breath catching in his throat. "T… t-there's nothing you could have done… h-he would have… would've killed you, too…" He tried to brush the tears away from his eyes, but they kept returning.
“I love you Raven. I won’t ever leave you alone In life.” Rae said.
Raven hugged Rae again, "I-I love you too… imagine… imagine what would have happened to me if you'd been k-killed?"
“Trust me. I’ve imagined every way that could have gone. You being alone is one of the worst.” Rae said.
Imagine, you, a helpless twelve year old wolf boy, left alone after everyone died? Be quiet! You're just making me more upset! That is sort of my job, is it not? No! Raven leaned against Rae. I would have died too, after they were gone. I'd have no way to take care of myself, and no doubt I would be in shock too. I would starve to death and not even notice. More tears fell from his eyes.
Rae hugged Raved when he leaned against her. “I’ll never let you be alone.” She whispered.
Yeah, and she wonders why you were so worked up when you thought she had left. Shut up! Raven closed his eyes, trying to get the horrible voice out of his head. He wasn't sure whether it was his conscience or not, but it never made him feel good by any standards.
"I'll be there to protect you." Rae whispered. "I'll use my spoon, my deadliest weapon, if I have to." She said slightly jokingly.
Raven nodded, not really comprehending what Rae was saying. He imagined his parents again and flinched, squeezing his eyes shut.
"It's okay." Rae could tell he was uncomfortable. She stroked his back. "I won't let anyone hurt you."
