"They left me?"


Athena walked into the dark house after coming home from her friends house only to be met with silence.

"Mom? Lydia?" The small girl called out, trying to find her mother and sister.

"I'm sorry honey." Athena could recognize the older woman's voice.

"Aunt Emma? What are you doing here?" the small girl was confused, she didn't know what to think and she just wanted her mom.

"You're coming home with me A." The older woman smiled down softly at the girl whose eyes started to water.

"Where is my mom." A tear slipped down her face as she hugged her stuffed dinosaur tightly.

"Shes gone AJ, They both are. They went to live somewhere else." Emma sighed at the girl as she crouched down pulling the young girl into a hug.

"They left me?" The young girl started to cry more as she let the older women hug her.

"I've got you now. Everything is okay, come on." Emma led the young girl out of the house and to her car, letting Athena in the passenger seat as they sped down the road towards the big house on the outskirts of Beacon Hill's.

When they arrived at the house Athena was met with the beautiful interior of the big house. The kitchen was huge, a beautiful living room sat a few feet away and from where she was standing she could see the dining room not too far from the kitchen. She walked up to her room, seeing the blank walls and neatly made bed.

It had gotten late and Athena couldn't sleep, seeing as she had been crying for the past hours since she got there, picking her head up from her hands she decided she wanted to go outside. The young girl climbed out her window, climbing down the branches of the tree just outside as she ran towards the woods not stopping until she was next to a river.

Athena sat down next to the river as the rain poured down on her, holding her stuffed dinosaur tightly.

"It's cold out here you know, you might get sick." An unknown voice spoke from beside her as the slightly taller boy took a seat.

"I don't really get sick." The girl's voice was small as she spoke, sniffling slightly.

"What's wrong, you look like you've been crying." The boy looked at her as she wiped her tears trying to tell him what happened.

"My mom and my sister left me, and now I have to live down here with my Aunt." Another tear fell from the girls eye as the young boy pulled her in for a hug.

"I'm sorry, I know how that feels. My parents passed away last year, and now it's just me and my sister. We live with our godmother Satomi." the blonde boy looked down at the smaller girl as she smiled sadly.
