"I TOLD YOU DON'T TOUCH MY SONS AND MY DAUGHTER!!"
"DO YOU THINK I CARE?!" Loud and muffled bickering noises come from the kitchen. Clay hugging his dearest younger siblings who is crying close to him.
"Tommy, Drista it's okay, I'm here. I will always be here to protect the both of you." Clay said as he tries to calm his little brother and sister. He caresses their head gently, planning to make them fall asleep. Clay gave Tommy a small blob plushie for him to hug. Tommy took the doll and hugs it tightly. He looked at Clay with his teary eyes.
"Are we going to be okay?" Tommy asked.
"I'm pretty sure we will, Tommy..." Clay said to rasure his brother.
"Can we sleep in your room tonight?" Tommy and Drista asked him because he was too afraid to go back to their room.
"Of course Tommy, Drista, you both are always welcomed to sleep in my room." Clay smiles as he stated that Tommy and Drista is always allowed to go and sleep in his room. Tommy and Drista slowly drifting to sleep on his brother's lap.
"Tommy, Drista, I promise you, I will always take care of you both, I will always keep an eye on you and I will always keep you safe, I promise you." He carries Tommy and Drista to his bed and lay them down. He lay himself next to Tommy and Drista and hugged them tightly. Clay felt uneasy for a moment when he heard complete silence from the kitchen. He brush it off and go to sleep.
☾︎Time Skip☽︎
Clay wakes up to see his younger siblings cuddling and sleeping peacefully. He smiled at the sight. Then he caresses their head and go to the bathroom to clean himself. (Small time skip to after he finishes cleaning himself and wears a clean clothes). Clay walks to the kitchen and grab some food for himself and make some breakfast for his younger siblings. After he finishes the breakfast for his siblings, he brings the food to his room and places it on his nightstand.
'I wonder why it's so quiet since last night...' he thought. He goes to Tommy's and Drista's shared room and grab some clothes for them. He walks past by his parents room and peek through a small gap between the door. He sniffed a strong smell of alcohol and runs to his room.
'I guess dad drink again. But, where's mom?...' he thought to himself. He continue to walk to his room and hears sobs coming from his room.
'Oh my goodness! I hope those two are not harmed!' He ran to his room and saw Tommy crying.
"Tommy, are you okay? What happened?" He ask his little brother. Tommy runs towards Clay and hugs him tightly.
"Where did you go?... I [hic] I'm afraid..." He said. His voice is muffled but Clay could hear what he's saying. Clay caresses Tommy's head gently.
"Tommy, I told you, I wouldn't leave you, EVER. Even if I do, I will always try to find you, no matter what. I pinky promise." Clay held out his pinky finger to Tommy. Tommy did the same and intertwine their pinky finger. Clay wipes his brother's tears.
"Clay... Where's mom?" Tommy asked.
"I... I don't know Tommy." Clay said.
"Hope she's fine..." Clay added. He stares at the window.
"Tommy, go clean yourself, I made you and your sister's breakfast." Clay said.
"Okay, but, can we go to the park after Drista wakes up?" Tommy asked and Clay nodded as answer. Tommy walks to the bathroom and clean himself. Clay heard muffled bickering noises coming from the kitchen. Out of curiosity, Clay tip toes to the kitchen and watch what happened. His parents are fighting over something.
[T/W]
<Murder>
<Blood>
<Gore>
(Forgive me for this-)
His father who is still drunk uses his bottle of alcohol and hit his mother with it. Blood splashed everywhere on his father's face. Clay couldn't believe what he just witnessed, tears fall down he runs to his room and lock it. He covers his face and cries.
"Clay?... Are you okay?..." Tommy asked, completely concerned about his older brother.
"Tommy... [sniff] Tommy... listen to me... We are going to leave this house..." He said while crying.
"Clay... Wh-what happened?..." Tommy asked. Clay stayed silence, he couldn't bear to tell him what he just witnessed.
"Tommy, you are better to not know what just happened... I will tell you once you're big and old enough... We are going to leave and NEVER come back!" Clay said. He takes his bag and stuffed some clothes. He wakes Drista up from her sleep. Clay takes one of his hoodie and wears it on Tommy. Clay holds Tommy's and Drista's hand tightly .
"Tommy, Drista, I want you too stay quiet, as quiet as you could I'm gonna check something for a bit. Do you understand? And Drista stay with your brother." Clay stated, Tommy and Drista nodded and they walks to the front door as quiet as they could. Clay peek at the kitchen and his father is passed out next to his mother's corpse. He felt nauseous just from looking at his mother's corpse. Little did he know his father also died when his head hits a pair of scissors. He runs to the front door. Tommy hands over Drista to Clay.
"Where are we going?..." Tommy asked. Clay said nothing at first.
"I... I honestly don't know where are we heading... Tommy..." Clay said. They goes to the park and stays there for a moment.
"Tommy, I want you to have this..." Clay summons a tiny blob and give it to Tommy. He looks at his brother amazed by what Clay could do.
"That's a blob, or you can call it mini me... It's alive and please, take care of it? If I lost you, this blob will always be with you." Tommy hold the blob and hug it, he put it in the pocket on his hoodie. The blob poked out from the pocket and looks around and goes back into the pocket. Tommy hides his face on Clay's shoulder. Clay holds Tommy close to him. Eventually, Tommy fall asleep on Clay's shoulder. Drista looks at his brothers and lays her head on Clay's other shoulder. Clay stares blankly at the sky, not knowing what he should do.
"Clay... Where are we going?..." Drista asked her brother. Clay starts too cry he gotta do something and fast.
"I don't know Drista... I don't have any idea where to go..." Clay wipes his tears away.
"Clay..." Drista hugs her brother, as she thought that's the next right thing to do. Drista kept quiet for a moment.
"Clay... Are we going to be alright?" Drista asked.
"I'm pretty sure we are going to be just fine Drista..." Clay said. He looked at Tommy
'I'm sorry Tommy...' Clay thought.
"Hey Tommy, wake up lil bro..." Clay said. His voice is cracking and tears threatening to fall from his eye sockets. Tommy wakes up and looks at his brother.
"Tommy... I'm sorry..." Cries escaped from his mouth.
"About what?... Clay... Don't tell me you're going to abandon me..." Tommy said.
"No Tommy, I would never do that... It's just... We need to find someone to take care of you..." Clay stated.
"Wh-what?! What about you and Drista?!" Tommy asked, tears fall from his eye sockets.
"We'll be fine, I promise you, I will find you no matter what!" He said, Clay hugs his brother and took something out from his pocket.
"Promise me, you will never lose this locket." Clay handed Tommy a round locket. Tommy opened it and saw a picture of him and Dream before Drista was born.
"I promise..." Tommy said. He kept the locket in his pocket where the blob was.
"Tommy, I want you to stay here, I will be watching you from the tree. Me and Drista will be alright, so, don't worry about us..." Clay stated, holding Drista close to him. Tommy hugs his brother one last time before Clay and Drista walks away from the bench they were sitting. Leaving Tommy alone.
"Bye... Clay..." Tommy said as Drista and Clay disappear behind the tree.
