My sister was resilient...

A powerhouse of generosity and kindness.

But she was not the type of powerhouse to take on the role in which she was trying to take.

"Dear, sister..." I began, placing my hands on her shoulders. "I understand your heart is in the right place...but I don't think you should be doing this..."

She smiled, taking my face in her hands, thumbs stroking my cheeks as she gazed up at me with blind, milky-blue eyes.

"I know it will be hard...but you haven't been able to hire a night guard since Jay ran off...I would be more than willing to take his place."

I bowed my head, biting my lower lip nervously. "You'll have to be vigilant. The night guard's job is to assure the safety of everything inside the store...the cameras..."

She dropped her hands. "I don't need to see what's on the cameras to know if something it wrong. The night is quiet...if I hear something out of the ordinary I'll call someone immediately."

I sighed, there would be no reasoning with my little sister. "Okay...you may have the shift. I will tell Kai, but this lasts only until we find someone else. You may have good hearing but being blind does make you vulnerable..."

Her smile faded into a frown for the slightest second. "I know..."

I put an arm around her, leading her. "Well, since that is settled, let me just show you your office...so you can get a feel for everything."

She laughed. "Was that a joke? She glanced in my direction. "Good one."

I couldn't help but chuckle in response. "Why thank you."

"You're welcome..."

A.N. - D!sc0rd3r here. So I'm assuming...(since I recognized some of the follower notifications as followers from my singular account)...that many of you know who Elena is...and how bad of a catastrophe this will be considering she's blind. XD Or will it? Guess you'll just have to read. ;) Also to Cameron, sorry I'm off kinda doing my thing, I'm still in the process of thinking something up for Elemental Arts. *clamp heart*
