In The Storm

Two days ago I got real bored and decided to sketch a brief story. Maybe just as an excuse to use my pencil blenders or just to draw more of 9 and 5. Who knows... So enjoy lovely little bromance!

In The Storm

As the cold wind and snow blew through the darken sky, a small light shined brightly in the night. With spoons tided to their feet and keeping close together as best they could, 9 and 5 struggle their way through the storm. With his light staff in one hand and the other wrapped around 5, 9 used all his strength to keep his brother safe and warm while leading the way through the darkness. The wind certainly didn't help any. Surely they would have reached the house by now, unless they made a wrong turn. A feeling of tread slowly stared building inside him. What if they did missed it? How far were they? What would happen if the light would go out? They would be stuck in the dark and snow. It would then only be a matter of minuets or less until they would freeze to death. 

The fear was all too overwhelming. 9 tried not to think about what might happen and instead continued to focus on finding there way back home. Home... That's all where he wanted to be right now was home. Just to be with the rest of his family and to feel warmth again. It seemed like this trudge through the snow was going on forever.

Suddenly, as luck would have it, they had reached a familiar looking stone porch. 9 breathed a sigh of relief once he knew where they were.

"We're here, 9!" 5 said

As they climbed up onto the porch, there spoon shoes falling behind. 9 felt the whole world around him begin to grow as dark as the night. Falling to his knees, 9's whole body grew heavy. It was like the wind has stolen his breath. 5 leaded over 9, are still wrapped tight around his waist. 

"9?" he asked

No response. Then 9 collapsed. 5 fell to his knees, trying to keep a hold on his brother.

"9!" 5 shouted

That was when the door swung open. 5 looked up to see a pair of black boots standing before him. His single eye continued to scan up till he saw two yellow emotionless eyes staring back at him. Standing in the door way was girl with dark hair and pale skin.

"There you are..." She said

For once 5 almost felt relived to see Delia there. She crouched down and cupping her hands together as she lowered them. Eagerly, 5 hauled 9 into her palms. Her hands were just as icy cold as the weather outside, but soon enough they were inside and wrapped with a warm handkerchief against the fire.

"I'll let the others know you two came back alive." Delia said in a eire tone

5 had never felt so tired before. 9 was resting beside him, still shaken from the cold. Soon enough though, he already began to doze off into sleep. 5 was also ready to drift off himself until he heard the sound of 9 muttering something.

"N-no..." he groaned

Pulling himself closer to him, 5 wrapped his arms tighter around him, whispering softly.

"It's okay, 9. We're safe. We're safe..."
