Jason's P.O.V

"What are we going to do..." I trail off and start pacing up and down in Amber's hospital room, all the family are here and waiting for any news on the whereabouts of my brother and sister.

All of us look so broken and defeated, mom and dad are hugging each other and dad is screaming on the phone to Amber's security guard who is shit at doing his job! Dylan and Grey are sitting in their chairs and clutching the pillows we stole from Amber's bedroom, whilst I was pacing up and down the room whilst tapping the side of my head and getting into focus, I haven't stopped pacing and slapping my face since we had that phone call that she was reported missing, we have talked to the doctor and our security team since then and nothing has come up, apparently some of the security guards we assigned to Amber had disappeared and left the hospital completely.

And now we are playing the waiting game and seeing what our father can find out.

"I am hiring a completely new security team, all of them are useless bastards and can't even protect a duck if it was to save their lives!" Our dad raged whilst hanging up the phone. I stop pacing and rubbed my tense temples, something that Amber does whenever I come home from a tough meeting or I'm stressed.

I honestly couldn't live without that girl and in the future when I meet a girl, they will need to have Amber's traits, I'll probably bring a checklist on our first date to see if the girl has what it takes to make me a happy man, a girl like Amber would be the girl of my dreams. I know your probably thinking that 'This is gross' or 'Ew he loves his sister! Incest!' I don't love her like I would love a girlfriend, my love for Amber is different, it's pure and I feel overwhelming senses to protect and to follow her around everywhere in case she ever got hurt, she brightens my world that no random girl could ever do for me, my love for Amber has been strong for 16 years and counting, I would never consider dating her herself but I would like to share my life with a woman with her characteristics, that doesn't mean that I'm into incest and want to bang my sister!

Just thinking about her made me grow more and more impatient and needed some answers desperately, "You found nothing on their location?" I asked, dad's shoulders slumped and shook his head slowly.

"Nothing, absolutely nothing!" He said whilst sighing to himself, I knew he would be blaming himself for this as well and whatever we say would not change his mind on it, heck I blamed myself for this too and nobody can change my mind.

"We're waiting here like sitting ducks!" Dylan spat whilst combing his hair away from his face, I started pacing again until a bash against the door broke my trance and made everyone in the room on full alert and ready to attack if need be.

But no danger was at the door, two stretchers were.

Incoming through the doors were two nurses pushing two stretchers and lining them up, we all stood up and looked at the bodies to see our beloved brother and sister lying in the beds like corpses and barely recognisable.

Both their faces showcased a range of different coloured bruises with small deep cuts to accompany them, both of them had deep dark bruises that scattered across their bodies with scratch marks and patches of blood in all different places. What the hell happened to them? It's like they were shoved into a big washing machine and somebody turned it on.

A single tear let loose down my cheek when I studied Amber's body closely, she looked like she was thrown from a fifty-story building and then thrown into a pit of hungry lions. Her face was bloody and bruised with a deep purple cut sitting proudly on her plump lips, my eyes trailed down to her chest and saw her ribs bruised and a rib was sticking out her chest with a huge bump where the broken rib sits awkwardly. The back of her head was bruised and patches of blood were forming on her pillow where her head rested.

I immediately panicked thinking there was bleeding in her brain but the doctor seemed to catch on to my thoughts and interrupted my thinking, "Ambers going to be okay, the bleeding you see on her pillow is from a small cut on her head that we have now bandaged and secured nicely so it will be healed, but there is some bad news..." The doctor trailed off, we all stood up at the same time and all sent the doctor death glares which he seemed obviously uncomfortable by our intense staring.

"Isaac's scares will heal in a week or so and he doesn't need any surgery, however, Amber has broken another two ribs but this time they're worse, the bone is now sticking out at an unnatural angle which we will need to correct and put back into place, the procedure will start now and will last about two hours, I'm so sorry about this but know that your daughter is going to be okay, the surgery is straightforward and you will see her in no time!" The doctor tried to reassure us, it didn't help one bit!

Mom whined harder into dad's shoulder and cried her heart out like a lioness losing her cubs.

"My babies! My poor babies!" Mom cried over and over again, this caused Dylan to start crying and drench his hoodie with his own tears. I stood up straight and held back the sobs that were trying to escape my body, Pull yourself together man, you need to be strong for them! I told myself and sniffed back my tears.

The whole room fell painfully silent, the tension was rising and I was drowning in it. We were all huddled together like penguins in winter and we all stared at the two bodies on stretchers and prayed that they will both heal well and Amber's surgery goes smoothly.

Then Amber was wheeled out by doctors and heading towards surgery, and then the crying started once again...
