Memories

Sebastian holds his head and drops to his knees, Uriel looks at him as his mind fogs and the memories overflow into his mind.

14 years ago

    "Uriel! Sebastian! Breakfast, come down!" Maryann yells.

    Sebastian yawns and looks over to Uriel, who is staring out the window at the trees and tapping the glass.

    "Uriel, Mom is calling. Come on," Sebastian says, tugging on Uriel's arm. She glares at him and pushes him away.

    "Go away," Uriel says.

    "But Mom said-" Sebastian starts but Uriel interrupts,

    "I said go away!" Uriel yells.

    Sebastian cries and runs out of the room yelling for his mom, Uriel rolls her eyes and continues to stare out of the window, watching a cat chase a mouse around the tree. She keeps watching for what seems like an eternity until Maryann walks into the room.

"Did you yell at your brother, young lady?" Maryann says in a strict voice.

"Come here Mom," Uriel says and Maryann sighs, walking over and looking out the window, seeing the cat chasing the mouse.

"The cat never gives up the hunt, and the mouse never stops running. It's like an endless cycle until the weaker animal gets exhausted and drops dead. If the cat gives up now it'll starve, but if the mouse gives up it'll get eaten" Uriel says.

Maryann stares at her seeing the cold expression on her face, dread tugs at her heart and she clears her throat,

    "That's very interesting dear but why did you yell at your brother, this whole cat chasing a mouse thing is irrelevant" Maryann states, and Uriel stares over at her,

    "I don't give up. He does. I'm the stronger one so he should die and I should live, that's how it works in nature anyway" Uriel says and Maryann slaps her across the cheek.

    "Don't you ever say that about him!" Maryann shouts.

    Uriel smiles and holds her hand to her face, feeling the sting of pain flow through her, making something bubble up inside of her. Maryann shakes for a moment and storms out of the room slamming the door behind her.

Uriel looks back out the window and sighs, and then her door swings open, her father stands there belt in one hand and holding Sebastian by the shirt in the other hand.

"Tony! Don't!" Maryann yells running into the room but he pushes her against the wall and turns to Sebastian,

    "Sebastian sit down on your bed and watch carefully," He says and Sebastian shakingly nods and runs onto his bed.

    Tony turns over to Uriel and she smiles as he approaches, the house is filled with whacking sounds,

    Whack... The mouse runs up the tree.

    Whack... The cat follows its hunger rising.

    Whack... The mouse runs to a branch.

    Whack... The cat creeps up behind.

    Whack... The mouse jumps in hopes of escaping.

    Whack... The cat leaps after, landing on the mouse. Its claws dig in, its teeth do shine.

    Whack... The house ignites in an inferno, the windows of the top floor shatter as a man screams and falls out, and his body burns. The cat grabs its meal in its mouth and scurries into the woods.

    Maryann kicks the door open grabbing her two kids on the way out, it's not long until the fire department and police arrive, and Maryann points over to Uriel.

Sebastian looks at the burning house and falls to the curb, Ignis appears behind him and sighs,

    "End of this memory Kid. I tried to protect you from this but no sense running away now"

    "What's going to happen now?" Sebastian says his little voice, minuscule compared to the booming voice of Ignis.

    "We won't see each other anymore Kid," Ignis says, placing his hand on Sebastian's head.

    "I don't want you to go," Sebastian says, tears welling up in his eyes.

    "I know, but now you'll carry on our work, and listen, Kid, don't trust Uriel" Ignis says and Sebastian nods slowly,

    "Goodbye Kid- Goodbye Sebastian, take care of yourself," Ignis says and hugs Sebastian.

    Ignis disappears and the surroundings fade away, as everything fades Sebastian smiles and speaks aloud,

    "Goodbye, Ignis"

14 years later (Present Day)

Sebastian stands up and lets out a long sigh, Uriel watches his facial expressions eager to see his reaction,

"Grab Millie, let's talk somewhere else," Sebastian says pointing to Millie who's very much awake at this point. She screams as Uriel nods and grabs her by the hair,

"It's nap time," Uriel says and strikes Millie over the head.
