Daniel was stressed, weeks had passed and slowly his sister had changed, at first he was worried she was sick but now he realized it was even worse then that. His little baby sister was doing drugs, and not just weed either, from the way she looked and acted she was on something much worse, and it scared the shit out of him. The 19 year old was just finished highschool and was taking a year off trying to work and save some money, so he would see her almost everyday, they had always been very close but lately she had been drifting away. First she would always miss dinner, then came the sudden outbursts of anger, it all pointed to a change in her lifestyle, but it took a few weeks for Danny to realize what she was doing.

The brown haired green eyed young man was now resting against the railing outside her door, arms crossed, staring at the foot of her door in thought. He was dressed in his pajamas, a plaid pair of pants and a black tshirt, it was still somewhat early in the morning and he had just heard her coming in the house, it was finally time to confront her, to help her get out of whatever she had gotten herself into, he wasn't going to lose his sister no matter what he had to do.

Walking with bare feet across the carpet he knocked on her door, but after a moment he opened it anyways, eyes looking around the still somewhat dark room "hey...." he said softly, the kind of voice a husband might use to talk to his wife after they had a fight and had calmed down. "I need to talk to you, no it cant wait, no we cant do it another time, we need to talk and now." he said, voice growing more confident and stern, not angry, he could never be angry at his little sister, but he had to show her he wasn't going to let things continue like they have.

RE: An addicted sister and a desperate brother (MoonlightRomance and Deerpoob)

Roxanne hadn't even been home five minutes when she heard Daniel knock on her door, which she had closed behind her, not even having said hello to him when she came into the house. She had been about ready to tell him to go away, that she didn't feel like talking when he opened her door without a reply from her. Roxy watched him with glassy Emerald eyes as he looked around the somewhat dark room, the only light source being whatever came in through the partially opened curtains that covered her window. "What is so important that it can't wait, Danny?" She asked, sure that he noticed that her clothes were different than the ones she had left in sometime yesterday, telling that she had stayed somewhere last night; probably with whoever had supplied her with her last dose of Heroin. Roxy also knew that if he happened to look in her eyes he would see the glassy look in them and that would tell him she was on something.

As she waited for an answer from him she ran her fingers through her long and curly chocolate colored hair. Tonight she was wearing a pair of pajama bottoms that were purple in color with yellow stars and moons on them and a black tank top, also wearing a black sweat shirt over the tank top but not because she was cold. It was to hide the marks on her arm where she had injected herself less than twenty minutes ago.

As Roxy listened her him, she noticed at first his tone seemed to be more worried than anything but as time passed it turned to a more confident and stern tone. It was then that Roxy could tell he was serious and that he wanted serious answers from her, whatever it was he wanted to talk about.

RE: An addicted sister and a desperate brother (MoonlightRomance and Deerpoob)

He closed the door, not wanting to wake there parents up, then he walked over to her bed and sat on the end. Glancing to her, then to the ground, he took a deep breath and started "so...I know what you've been doing, I don't know if you did it tonight but I know..." his heart was pounding in his ears, and he closed his eyes "I know its not just weed, you've gotten into something alot worse and I intend on stopping it, so tell me Roxy what is it you've been taking?" he turned to her and moved closer "Im not going to tell mom and dad unless I have to but that doesn't mean Im just going to ignore it either." he managed to look her in the eye, so she had been doing it tonight, maybe even just a little bit before she got home, his heart sank at this, his little sister was god knows where doing who knows what...

Daniel moved closer to her once again, now sitting in the middle of her bed "Roxy you know it's not good for you and its only going to get worse the more you do it." Now his voice was the soft worried voice once again, he was obviously torn between trying to force her to stop and begging her to.

RE: An addicted sister and a desperate brother (MoonlightRomance and Deerpoob)

Roxy continued to watch him carefully as he closed her bedroom door behind him and walked over to where she was sitting on the bed, sitting on the end of it. Her eyes continued to stay on him as he spoke. In listening to Danny, Roxanne found that some small part of her wanted to tell him everything because even though she had been shooting up for about four months now there was some part of her that still remained the baby sister he knew. When he asked what she had been taking Roxy seemed to hesitate almost as if she was scared what might happen if she did. "I...I can't tell you Danny. He said I can't trust you." She said, truth be told, whoever had been supplying her with the drugs for the past several months now had been filling her head with lies about how Daniel would only turn on her and had even tried to make her believe he didn't even love her.

When he moved closer she tensed up some but at hearing him said he wouldn't tell their parents she relaxed some, seeming to feel a little more safe with him for now. Despite that she stayed silent for now, though. "I know.. It's already gotten pretty bad." She said as she watched him move closer to her once again so that he was now sitting in the middle of her bed. "I can't explain it but anymore it makes me feel like I'm alive." She said, still avoiding telling him what drug she was on as she noticed his tone was once more soft and worried. It was odd to hear a Seventeen year old saying all of this and the way it seemed he would need to calm her a little more before Roxanne told Danny what she was on.

RE: An addicted sister and a desperate brother (MoonlightRomance and Deerpoob)

"Roxy, are you really going to trust a guy that sells a 17 year old girl drugs over the brother who loves you more then anything in the entire world?" His heart sank a little as she spoke "you can tell me anything, I promise no matter what you do I will try and help you." Unable to hold himself back anymore he moves closer to her and tries to pull her into a hug. He was mad, mad that some guy was controlling her this way, who knew what she did while she was on the drug? she wasn't making that much money and it would soon dry up if she kept going like this, what would she do then? His heart was racing and he closed his eyes "I love you Roxy and I want you to be safe, please tell me what your doing, how your doing it....there has to be a better way for you to feel like your alive, was your life really that bad before? were you so bored you had to turn to....heroin or meth? or whatever it is your doing...."

RE: An addicted sister and a desperate brother (MoonlightRomance and Deerpoob)

When he moved in closer to her and attempted to pull her into a hug Roxy tensed up some but didn't fight to try and get away from him, surprisingly allowing Danny to pull her close to him. When she was she pulled into Daniel's lap for a hug she wrapped her arms around him as if she were a scared little girl and she knew he would keep her safe. This time when he asked her what drugs she was doing, it seemed she was almost eager to tell him. "I'm shooting up heroin.." Roxy said, some hesitance in her voice. "I never said my life was that bad or that I was ever that bored. Truth be told, I don't really know how I got addicted to it but anymore it's like I go a few hours without it and I feel like I'm dying." She said, trying to explain things as best as she could and as she did Roxy leaned back, resting her head on his chest and closing her eyes. Suddenly feeling ashamed to look at him.

 

[RippledStatic]

RE: An addicted sister and a desperate brother (MoonlightRomance and Deerpoob)

He sighed softly and held her tight "Your addicted, that guy has gotten you addicted and hes trying to keep you that way." he was obviously very angry about it but tried to hide it for her sake, not wanting to scare her "you need to stop it..." he whispered, moving so he could look into her eyes while still hugging her "its only going to get worse, well find a way to get rid of the addiction but its not going to be easy, I promise Ill do my best to help you ok?" he gently touched her cheek and just looked at her "Im going to help you get through this." he promised and hugged her tight again "im gonna stay in here with you ok? you just get some sleep..." he motioned for her to lay down. and he tried to smile for her, but it wasn't the normal happy smile he had, it was worried about her future.

 

[XxMoonlightRomancexX]

RE: An addicted sister and a desperate brother (MoonlightRomance and Deerpoob)

As Roxy heard the anger in Danny's voice she tensed up and while she knew his anger wasn't directed at her, it did scared her to see him like this. "It makes me feel good though, Danny." She said, clearly he was now talking to the drug addict this guy had turned her into. "I know I need to and that it's only going to get worse.." Roxy added and as she felt him gently touch her cheek she opened her eyes and looked up into his eyes. "I'll try to quit.. So long as you help me." She said, knowing he would do anything to help her get better. "Okay, I'll try and sleep." She said with a nod and laid down when he motioned for her to, smiling weakly up at Danny but it was clear she was just as worried and scared as he was. "Danny.. Will you lay with me?" She asked.

 

[RippledStatic]

RE: An addicted sister and a desperate brother (MoonlightRomance and Deerpoob)

He tried again to smile back, and paused for a moment "....alright." he whispered and laid beside his sister "I promise Ill do anything I can to help you, whatever it takes." he whispered, and rolled onto his back, looking to the ceiling, thinking deeply. He wasn't sure his sister had the willpower to just quit, he knew that must be incredibly hard to do, but there had to be a way. Slowly his green eyes closed and without realizing he had fallen asleep beside his sister, chest rising and falling slowly, sleeping soundly.

 

[XxMoonlightRomancexX]

RE: An addicted sister and a desperate brother (MoonlightRomance and Deerpoob)

When Danny laid beside her she smiled, moving her head from her pillow where it rested to resting on his chest once he was laying on her back. Within a matter of minutes her Emerald eyes were closed and her breathing became deeper as she fell into a deep sleep. It seemed almost as if she didn't realize that by the time she woke up whatever Heroin she had injected before coming home would be out of her system and that she would probably be experiencing withdraw.

It was well into the after noon before Roxanne awoke. When she did, though, she slowly lifted her head from Daniel's chest and sat up, moving as slow as she could so she didn't wake him. Roxy pulled her phone out of her jacket pocket and turned the screen on. The display read "1:57 PM". After shoving it back into her pocket she carefully climbed over him and picked up her purse once her feet were on the carpeted floor. Roxy was definitely going through withdraw and needed some Heroin and she knew there was a syringe full of it somewhere in her purse.

 

[RippledStatic]

RE: An addicted sister and a desperate brother (MoonlightRomance and Deerpoob)

He cautiously put his arm around her, knowing she would need all the comfort he could offer.

Hours later, well past noon he felt her stirring, despite her attempts at not waking him he was a light sleeper, eyes groggily opened to look at her, digging in her purse "what are you looking for Roxy?" he asked, voice innocent, obviously not realizing what she was looking for, with a deep breath he stretched and groaned, having been stuck in the same position for a while as he held her, he looked around for an alarm clock only to remeber she didn't have one "what time is it? it was still dark in the room due to the heavy blinds Roxy had, but afternoon rays peeked through the cracks, showing him they had slept longer then he had wanted too.

 

[XxMoonlightRomancexX]

RE: An addicted sister and a desperate brother (MoonlightRomance and Deerpoob)

When Roxanne heard his voice asking what she was looking for she could feel almost every muscle in her body tense instantly. "Just something I think I left at my friends place." She said, deciding to flat out lie to him despite the fact that she knew Daniel could always tell when she wasn't being honest; just as she could with him. Roxy sighed in frustration a few moments later as she could hear him stretching before letting out a groan. Roxy looked back at him. "It's around Two O'clock." She said with a shrug, not seeming to mind that she had slept so late. Once he was fully awake it would be fairly obvious that he wasn't talking to the baby sister he knew but the drug addict and she would do anything to get her fix. Even if that meant betraying Daniel's trust and hurting him.

While the way she had opened up to him earlier showed how badly she wanted to get clean, it was going to be a struggle for her and it would test her and Daniel's bond. This was one thing that would either bring them closer together or rip them apart.

 

[RippledStatic]

RE: An addicted sister and a desperate brother (MoonlightRomance and Deerpoob)

"friends....you mean your dealer" he faked a chuckle "your friend, Roxy..." he moved to her and pulled her into a hug, prying the purse from her hands and putting it on her bedside table "I can't let you go to that guy again, you know that...." He whispered and closed his eyes "If this is how your going to be I can't let you out of my sight, either that or I have to tell mom and dad" There mother would be heartbroken and there father would no doubt be furious and want to do something about the person selling Roxy the drugs "I'd really rather not tell them Roxy, please just...." he hugged her tight to his chest and buried his face in her hair "I can't stand seeing you like this anymore, I didn't realize what you were doing but I could see the changes and I know nothing good can come from it, now that I know what your doing its even worse, not just the drugs but...the needles too, and what about the money? you don't have that much whats gonna happen when thats all dried up huh? you really think I'll lend you some? or mom and dad?"

 

[XxMoonlightRomancexX]

RE: An addicted sister and a desperate brother (MoonlightRomance and Deerpoob)

When Daniel moved to her and pulled her into a hug, Roxanne tried her best to struggle against him; both struggling to keep hold of her purse and trying to get away from him. After a few minutes of struggling though, she realized he wasn't going to let go of her and she glared up at him as he was able to get the purse away from her. "Not all my friends are drug dealers!" She hissed at him, still having her outbursts where she would attempt to struggle against him for a few seconds before calming down; much like a stray dog who didn't want to be caught. When Danny moved on to mention that he might have to tell their parents it not only made her muscles tense up almost instantly as he held her, but seemed to have a sobering effect on her and turn her back into the baby sister he knew and had been so close to over the years, if only for a short time.

Roxanne had always been a "Daddy's Girl" and it pained her to think what their parents would think. Their mother would be devastated and their father would be furious and would no doubt want to do something about these "Friends" that were supplying her with the drugs they had gotten her hooked on, no matter if his way of handling things was legal or not. "Daddy will be so disappointed.." She said, more to herself than to Danny. As he hugged her tight to his chest and buried his face in her hair she just kept her eyes on the floor and bit her bottom lip as she tried to keep herself from crying.

When he went back to talking how she was now, though, she was back to being the drug addict Roxy looked up at him with a glare and an almost sick grin on her face. "If and when it comes to that I don't need to worry about you or Mom and Dad giving me any. Danny, I'm a girl I can use my body to get what I want from him." She said, knowing her answer would enrage him and probably disgust him, too. "Tell Mom and Dad and I'm gone. You will never see me again and neither will they. Jeremy will help me get as far away from here as I want." She said, slipping up and telling him the name of her dealer with the sick smile still on her face. It was just beginning to show how much this guy had warped her mind.

 

[RippledStatic]

RE: An addicted sister and a desperate brother (MoonlightRomance and Deerpoob)

Daniels green eyes went wide and he just looked at his sister, this was not the Roxy he loved, she came in flashes, and was gone as quick as she came "Roxy you won't be doing anything like that, not if I have to chain you to this bed, my sister is not going to be selling her body to some bastard with a needle!" His hands gripped her tight to him, as if worried she would run off and do it right then just to spite him "you aren't leaving this house without me, never." he said plainly, he really didn't want to force his little sister to do anything but this was how it would be, he knew the moment she was out of his sight she would be off with this Jeremy guy....he made no mention of her saying his name but he was sure to remember it.

Daniel let go of her slowly, but made sure he was ready to snatch the purse from her or bolt to the door to keep her getting out, what could he possibly do to help his sister?

Suddenly he had an idea, he remembered those weird ads on TV, they talked about smokers and how some people can't quit even if they use the niciotin patches to do it, but alot of people had apparently had success using hypnosis, could that work for his little sister too?

 

[XxMoonlightRomancexX]

RE: An addicted sister and a desperate brother (MoonlightRomance and Deerpoob)

"You wouldn't dare chain me to the damn bed! If you tie me up like that you are no better than him using the drugs to keep me around." She said, struggling against him and trying to use her nails to scratch him so that he would let go when his grip on her became tighter. "You have no fucking say over when I leave this house and who I leave it with!" She almost screamed, seeming to not really care if their parents were summoned to her room by her screaming and yelling. "You aren't my father and I'll leave this house whenever I please. I don't want a God damned thing to do with you!" She yelled, quickly moving away from him when he let her go. Of course, she didn't mean any of what she was saying or at least Danny's Roxy didn't.

She quickly made a move for her purse, grabbing her keys and wallet but made no move for the door. No, when he had his back turned she would just open the window and climb out it. Of course, she didn't know anything about the idea that was beginning to form in his head.

 

[RippledStatic]

RE: An addicted sister and a desperate brother (MoonlightRomance and Deerpoob)

"im not getting you addicted to a drug, turning you against your family and eventually using you for sex!" he yelled right back, thought he kept himself quieter, not wanting to alert there parents. It hurt him to hear her say that "Roxy....you know you don't mean that, you KNOW you don't" He managed to control himself, and didn't even grab for her purse, he closed his eyes and put his head in his hands "Roxy....MY Roxy....will you let me try one thing, one thing and then I won't stop you" That was a lie there was no way he would let her out of the house, but he needed her to cooperate with him for a little while, Hypnosis only worked if the person being hypnotized really wanted what was being said, and he needed the Roxy he knew for that, not this crazy drug addicted young woman.

 

[XxMoonlightRomancexX]

RE: An addicted sister and a desperate brother (MoonlightRomance and Deerpoob)

"The only thing stopping you from attempting the sex part is you're my brother!" She fired back at him, this time not yelling at him but saying it in a normal tone of voice. Roxanne could tell what she was saying was hurting him and that made this drug addicted part of her happy. "I mean every damn word I have said to you and I hate this damn family!" She said to him, watching as he managed to gain control of himself and kept her eyes on him as he simply closed his eyes and put his head in his hands. When he asked if he could try one last thing, Roxy seemed hesitant but nodded, willing to listen to what he had to say. "I'll allow it." She said. "So long as it doesn't require you tying me up to the bed." She said, truly believing that he would let her go if this didn't work.

When he didn't instantly snatch the purse from her Roxanne let her guard down and returned to being Danny's Roxanne, at least for the time being. "Danny?" She asked in the sweet and loving tone that used to be in her voice when she spoke to him before becoming addicted to the drugs. "W... What do you want me to try? Please, I just don't want to be on them anymore.." She said, sounding almost helpless.

 

[RippledStatic]

RE: An addicted sister and a desperate brother (MoonlightRomance and Deerpoob)

He said nothing, unable to bring himself to look at her he stood and motioned for her to stay where she was. A few moments later he was back, in his hands were his ipod, a speaker that could be hooked up to it, and a tie "lay down, and get comfortable ok?" he instructed, hoping that she could be herself long enough for him to get started, what could he do? he didn't really know what he was doing with this sort of thing, but he had to attempt it. Sitting on the edge of her bed once more, and making no comment about what she had said early, even thought it clearly hurt him alot, he motioned again for her to lay down.

 

[XxMoonlightRomancexX]

RE: An addicted sister and a desperate brother (MoonlightRomance and Deerpoob)

Roxanne simply looked at Daniel with a confused look as he stood and motioned for her to stay where she was, wandering why it seemed so hard for him to look at her. When he returned a few moments later carrying his iPod, a speaker to hook it up to and a tie Roxy became even more confused. "Danny, while I trust you with my life before we start whatever this is... Would you mind telling me what the hell you are doing?" She asked as she stood up and sat on the bed beside him, but made no move to lay down and get comfortable as he had instructed her to.

 

[RippledStatic]

RE: An addicted sister and a desperate brother (MoonlightRomance and Deerpoob)

"Im...." it sounded even stupider out loud, but it was all he could think of "Im going to try and hypnotize you....If it works I can make you forget about it all, or at least about your addiction to it....I can get you back" he looked at her and frowned "please let me try, I promise I won't do anything to hurt you, you know you can trust me Roxy" he moved to her and again instructed her to lay back.

He set the speaker up near the head of her bed, turning on strange music, it was apparently played at specific wavelengths that assisted the mind, allowing people to have control of there dreams and also making them more "open to suggestion" as the site he got it from had explained. "The tie is for your eyes, to block out any light." he explained "apparently hypnosis isn't all about me swinging a watch in your face..." he made an attempt at a joke.

 

[XxMoonlightRomancexX]

RE: An addicted sister and a desperate brother (MoonlightRomance and Deerpoob)

Roxanne almost couldn't help to laugh when it was said out loud but she managed to stop herself and laid back, not even bothering to comment about her trust in him. "Danny, what do you mean "Back"? You have me right here.." She said, reaching up and taking one of his hands once she was comfortable on her back. Roxanne's eyes followed him as he set up the speaker so that it was near the head of her bed and tried not to listen to the music but something about it made her quickly relax. She then listened as he explained what the tie was for and smiled weakly up at him as he attempted a joke.

 

[RippledStatic]

RE: An addicted sister and a desperate brother (MoonlightRomance and Deerpoob)

he closed his eyes and took a deep breath, tying the tie around her head to block her from seeing, and all was silent for a few minutes.

once he thought she was comfortable and relaxed he started "listen to my voice....you are relaxed, you are calm, you are comfortable..." his voice slowly went up and down, soothing her mind if she allowed it too "you are calm, you listen only to my voice....you are relaxed, and listen only to my voice...you are relaxed...." taking a breath he thought about how he worded his commands "when you feel a craving to take heroin....instead you will feel the urge to show your brother you love him, and when you think about Jeremy you will instead think of your brother, and how he would feel if he knew what you were thinking about" while his wording wasnt perfect it should do as he hoped, thought she would find herself always thinking about him, that shouldnt be too bad, certainly better then heroin.

 

[XxMoonlightRomancexX]

RE: An addicted sister and a desperate brother (MoonlightRomance and Deerpoob)

When Daniel tied the tie around her eyes Roxy didn't fight him, in fact she just laid there and closed her eyes, letting the music help to get rid of any tension that was still left in her muscles. When he began to speak Roxanne found it surprisingly easy to not only focus on his voice but for her mind to be open to what he was saying and to accept it. She simply laid there as he tried to use the hypnosis on her, not saying anything but clearly she was listening.

 

[RippledStatic]

RE: An addicted sister and a desperate brother (MoonlightRomance and Deerpoob)

"and when your brother tells you to do something relating to drugs, you should feel the strong urge to listen to him..." he sighed and leaned back "now i want you to slowly becoming aware of the workd again, my voice is bringing you back, your body is become normal again, its not heavy anymore...." he moved to his sister and untied the tie "how do you feel?" she had at least seemed receptive to it, and maybe she had actually wanted it, but did it work? Had he managed to cure her? In truth he had his doubts but it was the only thing he could think of besides just following her around all day until he felt she was clean.
