A sharp wind blewb through the room. She shivered and curled deeper into her covers. Another wind made her open her eyes. I thought I closed that last night.. She recalled closing the window and even locking it. Fear gripped her as more fresh air came through her window and something moved close to her, giving off warmth. Slowly, she slipped out of the bed and quickly spun around. She found a body on her bed, black cloth covering it. She sighed with relief, recognizing the sleeping form of her sister, coal black hair untied. Willow sat back on the bed and hit her bedmate with a pillow. This earned her an immediate whine of protest and she giggled.
“Becca, you scared the crap out of me!! What are you doing in my room? And how'd you get in? The window was locked!”
She heard another whine.
“I was out on patrol last night and Tyler's gone again. So I came here. And I've been unlocking and opening windows since I was...7?”
Willow sighed and closed the window, locking it again. She looked at her clock and groaned.
“Becca it's only 4 in the morning!”
“Why do you think I came here?”
She looked at her sister through every eyelids. Her sister sighed and looked at her, noticing dried blood on her uniform.
“Becca! You're bleeding!”
“No. I was.”
“What happened?”
Willow ran over, pulling her sister into a sitting position and grabbing clothes for her. Becca glared sleepily at the bright pajamas.
“A guy shot me when I caught him stealing stuff.”
She slipped off her uniform and reached for the clothes but they were harshly pulled away.
“You're still bleeding..!”
“Don't worry. It only grazed me. I'll be okay.”
Willow didn't listen and pulled out her emergency first aid kit. She bandaged up her sister and helped her to dress.
“You'll be okay.”
“Coulda told ya that myself.”
Willow lightly hit her sister with a pillow, earning her another whine. She giggled again before turning off the lights and cuddling up with her sister to go to sleep.
“I love you, Becca.”
“...love you too. Now hush so I can sleep.”
Willow giggled again before falling back into peaceful sleep. Becca leaned up on her elbow and kissed her tenderly on the forehead.
“I know I never say it anymore, but I love you, Willow. You're the best sister I could ever have wanted. I just want you to see me as the best, too.”
She sighed and hugged her sister closer before falling asleep, Willow in her tight embrace.
