the day the earth stood still

*June* · 05-28-2014, 08:33 AM

Despite Gus' words, June couldn't bring herself to move. She stood frozen, eyes wide as they focused on her brother, watching with blank horror in her gaze as he turned his head away from her, only to vomit into the snow. "Oh, Gus..." She sounded so sad, taking a half step forward, beginning to approach her darling brother. She wanted to help him - something had to be wrong for him to be twitching and vomiting and the violence, that too had to have an explanation.

Ears pinning back, June recoiled when Gus spoke again. She crouched down as he wailed, eyes wide with fear and her muscles tense as he snarled at her. "Brother, please." She was begging him now, begging shamelessly for him to say something that made sense, something that she could understand. How could she help him? Was he going to attack her? To be afraid of Gus was something that June could hardly comprehend. He had always been the one to look out for her, and she had always inhabited his shadow, but now he was threatening to attack her, and June felt cold fear settling in her limbs.

Adrenaline was surging in her veins, preparing June to flee should Gus attack as he had been threatening to do. "Gus...?" Would he respond to her? Was she going to have to run? How did one handle being afraid of their brother? What was the done thing? Oh, where was July? She needed him. She needed both of her brother to be okay - she needed Gus to not be threatening her. But it looked like she wasn't going to be getting any of those things any time soon.

"Speech."
