He was one of your favorite big brothers so you couldn’t let anything happen to him. That’s what your little seven year old mind thought as it stole the sword from the small knight near your room. You had five big brothers in all but right now, Owen and Allistor were your favorites. Tonight though, you had heard footsteps outside of your room and shifting of armor. You knew what that sounded like because big brother Arthur once was in a jousting tournament at a fair in town. He had to wear a lot of armor that day. Tonight though it only meant one thing. Someone was planning on harming your big brother Allistor. Soon you had the sword and you picked it up in your arms the best you could and started the walk to his room. It was the middle of the night with only the moon light to guide you but you weren’t scared. You had a mission. You were going to go hide in his room and when the attacker came, you were going to wham them and run away with big brother so he could get the others up and you all could really fight the enemy. That’s what families did after all. They protected each other. Soon you dropped the point of your sword as you reached up and opened his door. It was dark but you could see the perfect place right there. He had curtains covering his prized outfit case. You smiled then and soon slipped in and closed the door before running over there as fast as you could and hiding behind the curtain. You would only have one strike to attack so it had to be good. Maybe chopping off their hand would work. Then they couldn’t pull a weapon. You smiled as you thought of all of this but then you heard the steps. Slow and steady, just like an attacker would be. You quickly got a grip and started building up your strength. You heard the door open… one… two…. And you jumped!
Allistor’s POV
I was thirsty so I went out for a drink from the bathroom down the hall. Only I kicked that tiny set of armor outside of (Y/N)’s room. I came back in and not even after two steps, all I saw a sword.  Quickly dropped the cup and soon felt two small hands pushing me.

“Come on! We’ve got to go! You’re in danger!” I just shook my head and soon looked down.

“Huh? (Y/N)? What’s going on?”

“I heard someone in the hall outside of my room! They had armor big brother! You just got into a fight at the bar so…. So maybe I thought you were in danger dang it!” it hit me then what had happened and I just smiled and soon knelt, making sure you two weren’t on the broken glass.

“Oh really? Well if that’s true, then maybe I need a strong warrior like you with me… after all I thought I saw someone on the stairs.” Her eyes went huge then and she quickly grabbed her sword.

“Then let’s go get the others and we’ll kill them! We must protect our own!” I just laughed then and soon picked her up.

“No no no, see, we both lie in here asleep and when they come if they come and don’t get scared of just the thought of you, then we can both deal with them without bugging the others. Then they’ll be jealous.” The look in her eyes then just made him want to laugh.

“Big brother you’re so smart!” I just smiled and soon had her help clean up the glass. Mostly just holding the dust pan. Then I picked her up over my shoulder making her laugh like a kid again. I walked over to my bed and soon threw her on there like she was a sack of potatoes. She just giggled and soon crawled up to the top and soon got under the blankets. I soon got in next to her and she quickly snuggled up to my arm.

“Sorry if I hurt you earlier Allistor…” I smiled and soon petted her head gently.

“Nay lass. Takes more than a strong seven year old with a sword.” She giggled then and soon got comfy. I just smiled and soon did the same to where I was holding her.

“Love you big brother…. Remember that ok?” I nodded slowly, feeling the tugs of sleep again.

“Alright little one… remember I love you too then alright?” she nodded even slower and soon we were both dead asleep, dreaming of a fight that would never happen with an imaginary attacker and my little sister protecting me. She was right in one way of thinking. You protect your own flesh and blood no matter what. I just smiled then thinking of how I could use that excuse once she was old enough to start bringing home boys.
