POV Dream and Scarlet

"Sissy?" My darling sister asked.

"Yeah?" I was trying to get all of our clothes sorted out so we can go get them washed down by the stream up the hill.

"Do you remember Jacksepticeye?" Tears filled my eyes remembering that happy, Irish, dork. He's probably the only reason that I'm here with Scar today. Not that I was depressed or anything, but he kept me sane enough to be able to stay with Mom and Scar, I had the option to move in with my grandparents, but they are a bit old fashion, and think that we are born from the devil, because, you know, two moms? I like Scar much better than racist, homophobic old people. Oh well, I don't really have to worry about them anymore.

"Yeah, I do." I said, trying not to let the tears roll down my cheeks, trying to keep them inside me, I need Scar to keep thinking im ok.

"I wish we could watch him again." She said, with her voice low, and slightly muffled.

I looked up with my eyes burning, looking into the thick, lush forest. I sucked in my bottom lip, and bit it.

"I do too Scar, I do too."

"Hahah! Remember when he opened all of those presents from Indy? That was so funny!" She laughed. That was the first video she ever watched of him.

"That's my favorite!" I smiled, unfolding Scar's tight Hello Kitty shirt.

"What are you doin?" She asked, looking over my shoulder.

"Its Thursday. You know what happens on Thursday." I smiled.

"Yuck, laundry." She smiled, running over to her little Golden Freddy backpack I bought for her three Christmas's ago, that she carries all of her supplies In, and pulled out a rumpled up shirt, balled inside of dirty jeans, socks, and a froggy training bra, although she dosent really need it, its still good to have.

"Thanks cutie. We may have to go to the large lake today. Lake Washi has been surrounded by a lot of walkers lately."

"Oh, alright, so I should wear my walking boots?" She asked.

"Yup! And later today, ill help you with the pistol again." I smiled.

"Yay!!!!" She cheered, then threw on her backpack, as I grabbed all of our clothes.

"You ready?" I asked, looking into her bright happy eyes.

"Yeah! I stink! When do we get to take a shower?" She asked, pushing a flaming chunk of hair out of her eyes.

"Tuesday is bathday. Why are you dirty already? Its only Thursday!" I pondered

"I don't know! You said we were going out to the big lake today anyways, cant we just take another shower?" She whined.

"I don't think that would work! We clean our clothes, and then we have to come back and have breakfast. There will be no time for a shower."

"How about when youre washing the clothes, I take a shower?"

"No way Scar, I am not leaving you alone in that big water. Who knows if the water walkers are there yet! Taking a shower is really dangerous this time of year, we have to be careful!" I said, looking at her sternly. I really hate when I have to do that, but sometimes, you just gotta.

"Fine." She huffed, and trudged along beside me.

We were walking in silence. I knew I pissed her off, but I cant help it. I would much rather have her mad then to not have her at all.

We came kiddy corner to the large G shaped lake, and the crisp, cool, clean air smacked us in the face, and instantly brought our moods up. I have always loved this place, Too bad its a breeding ground for Walkers, and terrible raider camps, we only use it for washing clothes, and ourselves. This lake is too filled with bacteria to be drinking water. We can bath just fine, just cant ingest.

"Hey Dream?"

I dunked my black and purple striped, long sleve shirt into the water, and felt the cool liquid douse my hands.

"Yeah?" I ran the shirt up and down in the water, trying to get it clean as we possibly can.

"What are we going to do when it freezes, and the lake is frozen?" She asked, skimming her fingers across the thin water surface, making beautiful ripples, she was wading out into the water. Im fine if she wads around, she just cant get deep to where the water walkers may be. Terrible creatures those things are.  

"It shouldn't get that cold here. It wont freeze, don't worry about that." I said.

"Oh, that's good." She was a little quieter, I knew she was going further.

"Scar, stay close to the land." I yelled.

No response

"Scar?!"

No response

"Scarlet Jayne Laken where did you go?" I screamed, throwing down the shirt in a huff.

I looked out into the vast lake, but I couldn't see her, I saw an angry stream of ripples banking right. With heart pounding, I whipped right, and saw that Scarlet was being carried away with a group of all men, and they had a hand over her delicate mouth, making her terrified shrikes muffled.

"SCARLET!!!" I screamed absolute bloody murder, shot up from the lake, and started running as fast as I possibly could, legs were flying in the breeze, I shouldn't have said anything, because now there were going faster. I tried to keep up, but It would be impossible. No, No its not Dream, you need to do this. Get your fucking head in the game! I leaned forward, and started blasting at full speed.

They were running up a hill, and I quickly followed. We were right along a cliff side, were I knew it was dangerous. My safety was the last thing on my mind. I need to save my sister. I pushed forward, as a few rocks fell here and there.

They started falling faster and more frequent.

I looked up the cliff side, and saw someone running in a bright orange puffy jacket. Who the hell would wear that here?

I shouldn't have spent my time looking at him, and more time running. I watched his foot slip, causing a water fall of rocks cascading on top of me, I was broken. I cant move. I looked and watched helplessly as they carried off my sister, with nothing I can do about it.

"DREEEM!!!!" I heard her little voice call for me. I just cried.

"Im trying." I said in a horse voice. My vision started to go red, and the pain was burning my insides. I could hear the person in the orange jacket come up beside me, but I never got to see him again. Hell, I coulnt see anything again.  All I could see was red.
