{Fire's POV}
It's been five days since that...incident with Zee-zee happened. I got a few nightmares about it with me waking up in a cold sweat...and sadly...Zee-zee didn't wake up. Kira was kind enough to bring Zee-zee back home with me and we ended up telling Pop-pop what happened. I was still petrified with fear at the time so I was either holding on to Kira's or Pop-pop's leg. But now Im more worried about Zee-zee. For a whole five days he's been out cold, thanks to Kira. But Im not sure if I should thank her for saving me...or be scared of her because she could of killed my big brother...either way...Im still okay. I've been trying to calm down and try to get use to just being by my lonesome or being around Pop-pop more then my Zee-zee. Kira is also around the house now since Zee-zee is practically in a dead sleep. Maybe she's around to protect me? Im not sure...I tend to stay away from her because she didn't really seem...trusting to me...does she live here to and I never knew it until now? Hm...
Within the time that Zee-zee been out cold, I got more time to practice on my guitar. Getting a faster tempo going, trying to find new rhythms, and starting to sing to it as well. There has been times that I overhear music that Zee-zee listens to so I try to mimic it...and now I almost know the song by heart. And my room is almost directly across from Zee-zee's, so when I go pass his room, I just look in to see him still in bed, motionless, and I just get that horrible memory in my head, which makes me a bit scared on the inside...I guess playing the guitar is helping me keep calm...and forget what happened a few days ago. Sometimes when I play...I get teary eyes...mostly because the song I play on the guitar matches up to what just happened...makes me...calm and...upset.
Another day passed and Zee-zee is still not awake. And I can heard Pop-pop talking to Kira in the other room...I take a look at Zee-zee while I play...I took a deep breath and stop playing. 'This might make me feel better' I thought. 'If I play it to him...it might just help me calm down some more'. I picked up my guitar and walked into his room. I then sit in a chair which was placed next to his bed and I get in a comfortable position to play. I took another good look at him, his head was tilted towards me, and I could just feel the pain he was going through. I strum the guitar strings to find the perfect tune, and I started playing. At this point I was calming down a lot more when doing so, then I began to sing, in a soft tone so I could hear the melody being played on my guitar. "They sent me away, to find them a fortune, a chest filled with diamonds and gold," I began to sing "This house was awake, with shadows and monsters, the hallways they echoed and groaned...". I didn't know what the lyrics mean, I just sang them. When I was doing so, Kira came in to check on Zee-zee, and she saw me, but I didn't saw her, she stood at the doorway as I sang along to my guitar. And that I did, "And all the kids cry out, 'please stop your scaring me', I cant help this awful energy. God damn right you should be scared of me, who is in control?". While singing, I can feel the fear going away, and I feel completely calm now. I take a look at Zee-zee for a while, then I look back down at my guitar and continued singing.
