"You have to stay here..."A tender boy's voice whispered,"If they find you here,they'll kill you."
A whimper was the response to that. A small boy, most likely at the sweet age of six, laid under an old bed. His body trembled in fear. The other boy, of similar age yet looked a bit older, peeked under the bed to gaze at the other.
"Caesar...please don't make a sound this time..."The other whispered,moving his hand to stroke the boy's crimson red hair.
"....scared..."The little one managed to sob out but was quickly hushed.
"Stop..."The other boy whispered,pulling his hand away,"Now. Not a sound. Promise?"
Caesar nodded and let out a final whimper.
"Promise..."
With that,the other boy ran off. Caesar curled up tightly under the bed. He heard his tummy growl obnoxiously for food. Caesar rubbed his belly with a light whine,hoping it would quiet down. His eyes wondered around what he could see. The boy wished he could live in this kind of place but he didn't. This was his brother's room. A tidy room with a few trinkets and toys and a nice bed filled with bird feathers and cotton.
It wasn't long until a pair of small footsteps came into the room and peeked under the bed. Caesar gazed up at his brother's face,envious of his beautiful brother. Unlike Caesar, his brother was 'gifted' with black hair that the nuns spoke sweetly about. Caesar, on the other hand, was shunned for having his blood red hair.
Other than the hair, they looked almost identical...almost. His brother had a bit of a longer nose and a devious smile. They shared beautiful green eyes, Caesar pride himself for having the brightest between them.
"Here Caesar. Food!" The boy said,closing the door and placing the plate of bread and butter on the floor.
Caesar's eyes widen and instantly dove into the food.
"Thank you Enzo!" Caesar chimed after a few bites of the bread he had,"I love you!"
Enzo gave a happy smile and rubbed his brother's back,cuddling him a bit.
Enzo hated where they were currently living. This church was full of aweful hypocrites and he hated it. He was treated as a privledge child while his brother was forced to live in the abandoned farm house close by. Unlike the idiot pastors and nuns, Enzo knew his brother was a saint. Most likely more so than any of these people!
Enzo ran his hand contently though Caesar's hair. His smile slowly turned into a frown. He didn't know how to say it to his brother but...
He was leaving. He was going to this foreign place called...America?
What that was, Enzo didn't know. All he knew was that he was leaving whatever country this was and going to America....without his brother. No matter how much he protested,no one listened.
"Hey Caesar...?" Enzo whispered,nuzzling his brother's neck gently.
Caesar looked over,his face dirty with crumbs and butter.
"Yeah?" He asked softly,taking another bite.
Enzo bit his lip,he didn't know what to say.
"Er....Caesar...I..."He paused,trying to figure out what to say,"I have to go away..."
Caesar instantly stopped eating.
"Why?" He instantly asked,already tearing up.
Enzo quickly hugged his brother.
"I...I just do..."He responded.
Caesar began to shake his head,turning and clinging to Enzo.
"No! No!" He cried into his brother's chest,"Please don't leave me! Please!"
Enzo whimpered,holding his brother tightly.
"Shh...Caesar.."he whispered,trying to quiet his wailing brother.
Caesar didn't stop. He was heart-broken.
"Please don't go! Lemme go! Lemme go!" Caesar cried out,looking up at Enzo.
Enzo looked away,holding back his own tears.
"C-Caesar stop.."He mumbled.
Caesar erupted into sobs. Enzo pressed his brother close to him,covering his mouth.
"Stop Caesar!" He hissed into his ear.
Caesar's sobs turned into quiet whimpers,hugging his brother close.
"I love you...please don't go..."Caesar whimpered,"No one likes me but you.."
Enzo let out a little sob and held his brother close. The two boys held each other throughout the night. Neither of the two got a wink of sleep,both trying to treasure each other.

The next morning, a pastor came in to take Enzo to the car. The man's eyes widen in almost horror at the sight of the boys cradling each other. Enzo's eyes looked up at the pastor and he pressed Caesar's tired body closer.
"I want my brother with me."He hissed.
"Get that demon out of this room."The pastor hissed,"You have to go to America."
Enzo shook his head. Caesar clung on,beginning to weep.
"Enzo. You're going to America. Let go of that demon seed." The man hissed,moving over and grabbing at Caesar.
Caesar began to scream,holding his brother tightly. Enzo let out an angry cry,clinging to his brother.
"No! He's coming to America too! Stop!" Enzo yelled.
The two boys were no match for the adult. Caesar was pulled away and slammed into the wall and before Enzo could react he was picked up and carried out,kicking and screaming.
Caesar whimpered but slowly got up and followed after. He begged and cried for his brother back. Once outside,Enzo was forced into the car. The boy kicked and screamed but the door was shut,locked, and the car started to move. He looked back,slamming his small fists against the back window. He screamed his brother's name,watching Caesar come out of the church.
Caesar's face was covered in tears. Caesar's hands reached out for the car as if begging for it to come back.
Enzo screamed and cried watching his brother go further and further away as if he was just a faint memory.
