"I love these walks with you, don't you, James?" A bubbly voice says from beside you, and you force a smile on your face to reassure her.
'These need to stop...'
"Of course, I love spending time with you." You lie through your teeth. Amelia's your little sister, and a part of you wouldn't hesitate to kill for her. But the other part finds her constant need for reassurance that you aren't dangerous - that you care, that you won't hurt her - extremely annoying.
'If only she was as naive as she is kind.'
Though truth be told, if you weren't constantly putting on a show for her, you probably would have done something horrible and been killed for it by now. So you guess you owe her for that. 'Like they could kill me'

Not that the idea of dying is exactly new. Nothing's new.

You were hesitant to start walking her to school in the first place, but your parents were very insistent you start spending more time with her. Said your shut-in loner nature was making them worried. If only they knew what they were doing.
How much danger they were putting her in.
You take in the scenery as you walk beside her, some very young children playing with a dog, the weird misshapen tree, dejavu, you reach behind you and catch a ball that would have hit you in the back of the head.

"Missing this?" You smile hollowly to another group of kids as they come running all in baseball gear. "Thanks mister!" One says as you drop the ball in his hand without even looking at him.

Without missing a beat you walk back to your sister, your larger legs bringing you to her within seconds. "Good catch." She mutters, and you nod.

The walk continues without interruption, until suddenly she looks up at you. "Anything happen at school?" Dejavu. "Jump," and she does, right into your arms. And you use that momentum to add to your own, whirling yourself backwards as a truck drives into the pole right where you just were on the side-walk.

"Jesus, are you kids ok?" An old man asks as he gets out of the truck, looking at you appraisingly. And you ignore him, your sister shaking into your chest like this hadn't happened a thousand times before taking much more of your attention.
Not even worth a glance.
"Drama queen," you whisper to her. And she looks up at you with a tear in her purple eyes. "You're just far too used to this!" She whispers back in exasperation, projecting her voice to make it sound like a shout to you and you alone.

Your name is James Mite, and you should have died a long time ago.

No reason to do anything serious about it. Should probably take your sister to school before you're late.

So, it's looking like the universe doesn't like a supposed-to-be-dead guy walking around and is trying to fix it.

Has happened way too many times for us to think too much about it, yeah?

The scene started off a bit weak IMHO, but it quickly picked up speed and became very very interesting. Curious what kind of new things I might pick up from this.
 
Are we actually dying and then stepping back in time to redo?

You get up, pulling your sister up with you, and she looks at you hesitantly, her mousy voice barely reaching your ears. "It's not his fault, don't hurt him."

A reassuring smile reaches your face, but she sees through it like glass. "If it'll please you, I won't even say hello." And she nods while still eyeing you, as if seriously worried you'd hurt the old man over a little accident. 'Why does she do this?'

And so you walk, completely ignoring the old man yelling after you, until the yells fade and your sister's smile returns. She's so very childish, so pure at heart, it isn't right that your parents forced the two of you to be around each-other. Not that you don't enjoy spending time with her, just...
'It isn't safe.'
"We're here!" She spins, and stares. "Promise me you'll stay safe." She demands, the gleeful smile on her face hiding something deeper.

"Of course I will, I've been doing this for years." The atmosphere shifts heavy as her face drops, damn-it! You didn't mean to remind her, not now, not so close to her school. "Sorry." She whispers, a tear rolls down her face. People are starting to stare.

You pull her into a hug and slip something into her pocket. "What is that?" Her depression temporarily lifted from curiosity. "Don't take this out of your pocket until it's time." And she nods with resolution, 'a mission, big brother needs me!'
-
On your walk to your own school, you see the same old man from before, walking into an alley, and you can't fight the grin forcing itself onto your face. 'I promised her...'
'I shouldn't.'

Oh, looks like our Sister has a reason to worry. We have some violent tendencies. Voting this for the hell of it.
