Do we run?

(This story takes place with my Ocs in middle school.)

After violin practice Zuri sat down with Daniel in her room. He was a mess, blood pouring down his head again. Zuri knelt down taking care of his wounds. Ignoring the stinging pain on her back, after being beaten with a bow. "Momma said she loved me! She does still love me right?" Daniel asked ".... You don't hurt the people you love." Zuri mumbled "You and Ace hurt each other all time, we fight. You and Jenni fight. We can't just leave our moms. They need us."  Daniel sniffled. " Me and Ace will always fight. He's a selfish bastard. And Jenni needs to close her legs and go to hell." She laughs before  petting him gently. He leaned into her touch "I'm not a dog... " he grumbled "I love dogs. But I can't have pets so you're the closest thing,  Big blond wolf."  she chuckled

"I don't get why you hate Ace, I'm sure he didn't mean for the whole eye thing to happen." Daniel frowned, "I'm not explaining why I hate Ace. I don't owe that to anyone." Zuri rolled her eye. She then winced as she felt the phantom pain in her other eye socket. "But he's so sweet! He shares answers! He's a volunteer at the local pet charity, he helps everyone and anyone and he's kinda funny, and cute." Daniel smiled only for Zuri to shove him away. "Fuck off Daniel. You are not getting  that manipulative asshole." Daniel tried to calm her down "I won't I won't! He's just cute, that's all."

"No! You can't! You both like each other! I swear to god if either of you-" Zuri started shaking him. "Hey! Relax! I know I know, I'm not Jenni. I wouldn't do that to you." Daniel hugged her. "Good because I don't wanna lose you too.. not to him." She smiled.

"How's Faron?" She asked " it's not looking good. Doctor said he's got autism or whatever. No idea what that even is..." Daniel shrugged Mom freaked out and dashed another at him. Max took the hit for the kid." Daniel sighed. "Geez... I wonder how many more bottles Faron can take. His speech is already fucked." Zuri's face softened and her heart melted as she saw him crying she gently wiped his face with her sleeve.

"That was my fault! I should've cleaned up his mess faster!! But the twins were fighting! And Max was yelling loudly! I tried Zu!  I really tried!" He curled up into a ball. "Mother  should've beaten me! Not him."

"With the amount she drinks I doubt she could tell the difference." Zuri shrugs. "Do... Do I get like that when I drink?" He asked. "All you do is yell and cry.  Oh and try to kill yourself but at this point who fucking hasn't." She then pulls out a needle and sighs. "This is gonna hurt."

"What doesn't?" He groans trying to stomach the pain of stitches, feeling the needle sink into his skin and back out again as she pulls the bloody white thread to try and close his wound. "I wanna run. Far, Far away Daniel."

"And leave our friends behind? We can't." He leans back, then jolts up as  he whimpers in pain. "We could tell them everything. They'd understand."

"All they know is that our moms hate us and have something to do with our scars, and what did they do with that info? Make our lives miserable." She grumbled "but that's just Jenni. You could tell Vi."

"... I am not telling my crush about my trauma. Why the hell would I dump that on her, besides her friends are a mess anyway. No point adding to it... besides I don't even know if we're that close anymore she hangs out with them way more than me." Zuri leans forward and wraps her arms around Daniel resting her head on his shoulders. "We should go tomorrow. Forget about everything-"

The door swung open.

"Zuri?" Her mother yelled "the fuck is going on in here!" She snapped. Zuri stood up quickly  and bowed slightly "Evening mother." she smiled, hiding her shaking hands behind her back. Daniel also stood up and bowed. His tail tucked between his legs

"What are these grades! And your violin teacher says you're not trying! God I know you'll never be as good as your brother but you could at least try! Ugh honestly if I was forced to have a twin why couldn't you be like Ace in the slightest!"

"Maybe because when I do beat Ace at anything you make a whole scene at school." She snapped. Daniel slowly turned to her. He stared as if she had lost her mind completely. "Daniel...." Verena whispered. She then smiled. "Go home. Now ." Her tone was flat, and cold. Zuri glared up at Verena. Her mother was going to beat her ass anyway she might as well say something back.

Daniel left the room before looking back at Zuri one more time. The door slammed shut. He rushed towards Ace's room.

"Hey- we need to talk." he bursted in "it's about Zuri! You have to help her! Please just- speak to your mom! I think she's about to get hit real bad." He scratched his arm. Ace was studying at his desk trying to figure out where he went  wrong on his maths work."And you expect me to do anything about it because...?" He didn't even bother to turn away from his desk. "Because you're siblings?!? Do you want her to die!?!" He yelled "I couldn't care any less what happened to her." Ace shrugged "Just go distract your mom! That's all I'm asking you to do." Daniel pleaded

"Can't, I'm busy." He yawned. "How many times has Zuri taken the fall for you! How many times has she saved you! Hell she's missing a fucking eye for you! And you wanna sit there and do nothing as she-" the scream Zuri let out silenced the house. Daniel covered his ears and Ace turned towards the hallway. He froze. The screams continued on and on. Endless pain and suffering. Even the maids and servants who were usually undisturbed by the noise had to take a minute before continuing their work..

"Ace please-"

"I'm busy." He said flatly. Daniel stopped and stared at him. He took a deep breath trying to relax. As his claws extended. "Daniel, you don't have the nerve to attack me. Besides all you'll gain from this is another beating. and-"

"You are dead to me." Daniel slammed him into his desk, his claws digging into his shoulders. Finally understanding what Zuri meant.  "Okay? Fucking dead. I hope you die alone. I hope you fucking hang yourself the way everyone expects you to. Or that you bleeds from your fucked wrists to death! Alone, by yourself,I fucking hate every fiber of your being. and when your funeral does come ill be the only one there. Because you've never cared for anyone but yourself and when they finally bury you I'll spit on your grave and destroy your tombstone so that no one will ever remember who you are. You'll be the waste of space you always were."

"You. make. me.sick. Go to hell." And  with that, he let go. Daniel then shoved him to the ground and left the room.  He then turned slowly and stopped in his  tracks. Zuri's room door had a pool for blood oozing out of it. He couldn't stop staring until Zuri crawled out of the room. Soaked in her own blood. Her legs had cuts all over them. She seemed to be holding her torso. When he looked closer there was a huge laceration over it. Before Daniel could reach out or walk over he heard footsteps and hid behind a wall. Her mother flipped her over and started dragging her inside. Zuri kicked her back and tried to run but was losing too much blood and fell to her knees.

Her mother slowly walked up to her "I think we need to have a talk-" She slammed her head into the marble floor. "About!"again. Zuri passed out Daniel curled in to a ball hearing the crack of her skull. It'll be okay.. he just had to sneak away and grab the healing potions when she stopped-" his thoughts were interrupted by another crack. He hugged his tail and waited for her mom to walk off.

He rushed into the room trying to find potions scrambling around  as he found them. He walked over to her and dumped the liquid all over. He winced as he heard her skull bones crack into place and her stomach wounds heal up.

"Let's get you in bed." he sighed carrying her to her room. As if this was normal as if this was just another part of his day. Zuri was right. There was no one coming to save them. All they had was each other and to him that was all they would need. He sat on the edge of the bed lighting up a cigarette. He was wondering how the fuck they were gonna get out of here without dying.

"Fuck. My. life."
