The wind of the cold night didn't stop making the trees behind me dance from side to side that caused the scary sound that I hated. I was freezing. Every drop of the rain that came on my body made me shake. My clothes were soaked and it just made me feel more cold. I wanted to go back. I thought about going back and beg Miss Brooklyn to just make me take these consequences some when it's not raining that much but I thought overwise. I knew her too well to even give her a chance to feel pity for me. She never does anyways.
The sound of the rain was everything I could hear else than my own teeth hitting each other. The wind wasn't helping at all. It almost made me fell on my side. I hated tonight so much and to my luck, the weather is bad. How more bad can my life be? There is really no more top. As soon as I thought just that I heard the sound of the thunder broke my ears. Guess it could be worst.
"Ana, where are you?" Someone whispered.
"W-ho is it?" I hardly pronounced, jumping up to my feet. Afraid of who could it be. She probably sent someone to beat me up until I faint or something like that.
"It's me. It's Hailey." She said as soon as I saw her coming closer.
"What are you doing here? You mother will kill you for that." I said.
"Don't worry she won't even know. I brought you some things you mind need in this weird weather." She put her bag on the wet ground and bend down next to it. She opened it. She took out a long cover of the empty bed of the guest room and handed it to me before taking out a plate covered with plastic paper.
"I brought you food. I thought you must be hungry." She said. Why isn't her mother or sister like her?
Before I could stop myself, I found my lips turning lightly to a small smile and jumping in her amrs, hugging her tight. "Thank you!" I whispered still shaking because of the soaked clothes on my body.
"No worries!" She whispered back.

The rain has stopped but the night cold was still on show. The way the wind was hard was just making me feel sick. It's been what? Two, three, four, ten hours like that? I had no idea but I knew that it didn't matter because for how long I stayed won't change how long I will still stay.
The covers that Hailey brought earlier helped when at least it covered the wet clothes on my body and the food was delicious and needed for anyone in my place
What happened to Kyle thought? Is he still fighting for me or gave up already? I hate it when I put him in those situations just because...I forgot! Great excuse! He is my big brother but that doesn't mean I should get him in more trouble and make him worry about more things than he already does. I just hope he is fine.

Kyle's point of view
"Miss Brooklyn! It's so cold outside and it's already been seven hours that she is out there. Please just make her get in here and lock her in a room but don't lock her outside in this weather!" I screamed.
"I do what I want to do, McLeod! Your sister made a mistake messing with me." She calmly said. Her calm tone was blowing my blood inside of me more. I am so angry that I just want to yell at how evil she was to do that to a seventeen years old girl because she forgot to wash her highnesse's clothes because she was sick.
"She was sick!" My tone was getting more and more loud and I couldn't help it. I want my sister back!
"She could have told me that before! But she didn't. Her fault." She said, giving me her perfect fake smile.
She said there was a party were is it? She needed the dress, how many others she has. She is a liar, a great liar that no one could or can stop but I've had enough of her sick jokes. For my sister's sake here I draw the red line.
"You know what?" No no I can't be doing this. "I'm sick of how heartless you are. Before you didn't help us when we needed money and you were one of the most rich people in the city and now that you are educating us, you are treating us equally to the maids here. What heart do you have? I just hope one day roles will switch, Miss Brooklyn. You are a liar and you will end up getting judged and hated by everyone even your own daughters." I said my last words and walked fast toward the front door, ignoring her wide eyes that were surprised or chocked because of the confident in my tone.
This was probably the first time someone screams at her and almost insult her in the most indirect way ever but I didn't care. She burnt the last calm drip of blood in me and I couldn't hold it back. All the rage of those years of hell she made us leave, got out today and she has two ways to react. Either kick us out, which I expecting, or understand and be more nice.
I fast walked to the garden of the mansion and looked around for my sister and as soon as I found her I ran toward her.
"Ana." I called out for her. She was sitting on the wet floor, hugging her body close only a small cover hide her from the hard wind. Even if I was far enough I could see she was shaking of how cold it was.
She looked up at me and widen her eyes when they laid on my feet that were walking closer. She stood up when I approached her and the first thing I thought to do when I saw her was hug her.
"I'm sorry." I said. I know I didn't really do anything wrong but just the fact that I wasn't fast enough to come and take her from here sooner is just making me feel stupid.
She was shaking in my arms when the cover dropped behind her because of her small arms around me, her hair dripping the water of the earlier rain. I shut my eyes closed not wanting to think about what could have happened to her if I didn't came or even what happened to her earlier.
"Let's go back." I whispered in her ear and pulled away from the hug, wanting to take her back. As soon as I saw her face and her body freezing from the cold wind and the bad weather of the night, I carried her up back to the mansion.
Her face pushed itself closer to my shirt, grabbing it tight in her hand. Her eyes became heavy on my way back to the mansion.
It took everything in my body to stop myself from running out of anger toward the mansion, find Miss Brooklyn and scream at her for how much of a living hell she is making her live in. I hated just how much she is getting amused watching us suffering in front of her.
I would do anything to make Anastasia live a better life but I had no clue how. I hated it watching her suffer not only because of Miss Brooklyn but also because of my mother's death. I know just how much Ana was so close to my mother. She was everything to her and knowing that she saw her dying in front of her eyes killed me. I didn't know what to do having her in my arms, shaking, saying nothing but my mother's name.
Minutes later of sitting in the cold, someone called and by law we ended up here, in this mansion, suffering and fighting our breathes to keep going but as promised, mother, I'd do anything it takes for me to keep her safe and here I am in front of the mansion's door, sure as hell that if I walked in I will be in trouble.
But I kept her safe and that what matters.
