Here, Eva. -David smiled , holding out a hand. A small white furrball curled up in his palm.- I want you to havehim while I'm gone, I know you two will take good care of eachother. -He stood back up from his position of kneeling down to be at level with his sister, swinging the pack over his shoulder. His face fell.- I'm sorry I can't be there for you. But, there's something I have to do. . . I know you'll end up hating me when you're much older. I know you can handle this. . You're strong. -He said this solemnly.-
-Blinked, given a small furrball which was known as Shuu. She held the creature close to her chest. Her eyes welled up with tears, lower lip trembling.- Big Brother. . . -Thirteen-year-old Evalynn murmured in a choking mutter. She didn't want him to leave. Not now. He was the only one she had left.-
-He sighed heavily, squinting his eyes shut. Turning his back to the younger sibling. David's right fist clenched. Wondering what the -hell- he was thinking. He wanted to take her with him. But, it would be too dangerous for her, he couldn't bear losing her too. This seemed the only option.-
-David bit into the corner of his lower lip, fighting the urge to cry. He didn't want Eva to see him like this. Shuu would protect her, he has his ways doing so. She would be fine. . . .- I'm. . Sorry. . . -He murmured. Starting to walk away, boots heavily dragging across the dirt.-
-Evalynn whimpered, clenching Shuu to her whilst he let out a small yelp. She just stared at her brother ahead, watching him walk further and further away from her.- Big. . Brother. . . -She shut her own eyes, before breaking out into a run for him.- Don't leave! Big Brother! Take me with you! -She choked out between sobs. She tried keeping up with him, eventually she ended up tripping on her own two feet.-
-Evalynn coughed a bit, her chest burning. Small frame shaking. She just watched him go, tears streaming down her now dirtied cheeks from her fall in the dust.- David. . . -She murmured, bowing her head as she started to cry silently.-
-Shuu hopped up onto the sobbing girl's shoulder, nuzzling his tiny body to her cheek in an attempt to lift her spirits. Tears also forming in his beady little eyes. He looked away. Not bearing the sight of his former master walking away.-
