The Mummy Maker

Chapter 7

"So when are you leaving?" I asked pulling away from my big brother. He opened him mouth to speak when a cough was heard hind us, I looked over at our dad standing there.

"I'm guessing now?" he nodded stepping into the room and allowing our mother to pass in. As much has her face hid it her eye showed worry. Enzo walked out and grabbed his coat walking back into the rooms and giving me one last hug.

"Be good little sister." I nodded and pulled way, I looked at mom before looking back at him

"Please, find her." He nodded his head and gave mom hug before head out. I gave dad a hug and his kissed my mother before following Enzo out the door. I looked over and mom who looked at the room.

"Well, I am loving how clean this room is. Thank you sweet I was just coming in to clean this before the builders came to fit the new kitchen." I nodded my head, she helped me finish cleaning the rest of the room when the doorbell rang.

"Just in time." I muttered and mom smiled heading to the door, she let the builders in. I made myself scares to my room as the piled in supervised by mom and began making noise. I got baby Arlo and set up in the twin's room placing a my little pony movie on.

Once the bay was asleep and the girls were occupied, I snuck into my room and unpacked the box's placing everything in the right place. All day I was unpacking my room and helping with the kitchen set up as well and painting walls.

Basically, Me and mom were keeping each other occupied and looking after the kids. When dinner time rolled around, I helped prepare and cook but I didn't eat anything. I was too worried. I hadn't heard form Enzo all day and was worried something had happened to them.

When I helped mom put the kids to bed and she retired for even I closed myself off in my room, sitting on my bed and placing my head set on I listened to music hoping to drown out this feeling for dread.

2 hours had passed when my door slowly and creepily opened, the silhouette creeping through the door was non other then the big brother himself. He looked worn out and broken, looking at him with hopeful eye he simply shook his head and looked down.

I moved slightly and patted my legs taking my earphones out. He sat down on the bad and lay down putting his head in my lap. "I promise, we aren't giving up." She slowly feel sleep as I stroked his hair looking down at him.

I let out a defeated sigh but tried to hold the tears back, what on earth are we going to do? Eleanor you were usually the one who made things better, what do I do? Help us. I slowly felt myself dropping to sleep when My stomach made the most monstrous noise, scaring both me and Enzo.

"Have you eaten at all today?" she asked sitting up and looking at me, I shook my head and looked down and my hands. My lap felt cold not that he was no longer lying on it

"I was to worry." I said, he let out a tsk and grabbed my hand pulling me up with him and quietly down the stairs. I will never get over how the new kitchen looks; it was now fulling completed and preteen white.

"Wow." He breathed out, he let my hand go and headed to the cooker. Clicking his fingers, he points to one of the stools the island. Sitting down I watched him cook Pasta a chorizo with cheese. It was simple and quick, but it was my favourite.

When he had finished cooking it he put out two bowls of the food and sat down beside me. we ate in silence both of us mulling over our own through, I felt my brother eyes on me as he put his fork him his empty bowl.

"We will find her..." I knew he was talking to me but It felt like he was trying to convince himself more. "I promise we will find her." I nodded my head and grabbed both the empty bowls willing them out and placing them in the dishwasher.

I turned to him, giving him a sad smile and hold my hand out as I walked back round the island. He took my hand and I lead him back upstairs. We parted at our door and went into our own separate rooms. I got changed into my Pyjamas and curled up into bed, I watched some videos I kept of Eleanor.

Slowly I fell asleep to the sound of my older sister's voices, where are you? Please come home...please be safe...
