Misfortune

The week was finally over and my sister is now back home, As soon as she walked in threw those doors I broke down in tears hugging her and telling her how much I missed her. Once I settled down Lucy began telling me about all the 'boring' things she had done on the trip, She then started complaining about how it was so hard for her to fall asleep only after three days there and that she has yet to get proper sleep. Seeing as how my sister was still tired I let her go and have her well-deserved rest while I went and studied reading up on Stones and the other creatures that are as of now too much for me to fight. As time passed night eventually fell and just as I lay in bed about to fall asleep I was startled to see my sister hovering over me I asked her if she was alright to which she asked if she could sleep with me tonight as she felt uncomfortable being alone. I understood why she would be feeling uncomfortable even tho she was fine throughout the whole day as today would bring back bad memories of that day.

Date # ####

I woke up next to my sister to our mother singing inside the kitchen, Are dad then walked in singing as well as they always did when it was the weekend. As we all gathered around the table and ate, Our father looked over at us with his giant friendly smile "So what do you guys want to do today?" Lucy yelled out excitedly that she wanted to go to the movies. Now geared up with a plan the four of us set out to the movies and on our way there our mother began to sing as well as our father in hopes of impressing our mother with his singing abilities. Even tho they sang a lot and I thought it was weird, I loved it as for some reason, It made me happy.

One day I heard something late into the night and when I went to Investigate I saw my sister sneaking out as she wanted to go see the festival that our parents clearly told us to stay away from I truly had thought about stopping my sister as I was the oldest but I really wanted to see the festival so I decided to go with her convincing myself I was just going to make sure my sister does not cause any trouble and is able to make it back home safe. Upon sneaking out we stopped as we noticed a passerby stopped in place watching us as we were climbing out of our window, With the person's height and the heavy-looking coat I called out "Thomas?" and they waved to me we both then sighed in relief as it was just Alexandra's older brother and with that, we continued with what we were doing as we knew that Thomas won't rat on us. Finally arriving at the festival Lucy and I met up with our friends and we were shocked to see Alexandra with her older brother standing next to her right in front of us we asked him how he got here so fast and confused he asked us what we meant and when we explained it to him he explained that he was nowhere near our house and that I may have just been some creep and that's when Alexsandra offered for her and her brother to walk us home later which we happily accepted. At the festival, we had so much fun with our friends and before we knew it, It was already time to head back.

Once we got back home we snuck in and we were glad to see that our parents had yet to wake up and so we made our way back to our rooms and went to sleep. Waking up the next day both Lucy and I were glad as we could sleep a bit longer as our mother had yet to wake up, Time passed, and waking up again I was confused as to why Lucy was in my room and that's when Lucy explained to me that our parents haven't woken up yet and so I went with her to wake our parent's room to wake them up.

I was the first one in the room and as soon as I entered my heart froze as I told Lucy not to enter and to call for an ambulance. After proper authorities arrived our house was turned into a crime scene, We were then questioned about what had happened and all we could tell them was the fact that we snuck out and that there was someone standing outside our house and since we had nowhere to go and we had no relatives that we knew about as most of them lived overseas we were put into the foster care system and that's where we stayed until we were old enough and were sent out to fend for ourselves and once I had enough money I bought a weapon that could kill stones as killing stones was the fastest way to make quick money.

But what hurt me the most was not the fact that we were put into an orphanage or the fact that no one helped us or that all our friends distanced themselves from us but what hurt me the most was the fact that I would never get to hear my mother singing again.

The sun blaring sun blinded me, As I turned over I saw that my little sister was still asleep, and not wanting to wake her up I went downstairs to prepare breakfast once breakfast was finished I went back upstairs to wake up my sister but when I walked into the room I saw how peaceful she looked when she was sleeping but she had to wake up eventually so I took a deep breath and began to sing.
