Under the Same Stars

Things go downhill, FAST.

"Okay girls, we're here" Chuck said, awakening us from our deep sleep. "What is this place?" my sister asked. "You'll see"

We all headed inside somewhat admiring the view outside. "Caitlin, stand close by me, I don't know what these people are doing to us but I'm sure it's nothing good" Catherine whispered in my ear.

"Hello Chuck, Arnold!" the mysterious voice came from a room we just barely passed up. We all as a group awkwardly backed up a few steps and headed into the room.  A young aged woman who looked like she could work at the public library greeted us.

"Come, come, have a seat! I'm sorry we picked you girls up so late in the night, we couldn't hold off this case any longer. Catherine being the mother figure for us both replied "and you are?" "Oh haha! My apologies, I'm Wendy, I am the owner of the orphanage for girls"

"WE'RE ORPHANS!?"

Wendy wasn't sure how to respond to a question like Catherine's, probably because all of the orphans don't ask questions like this one!

"Ummm... Sort of, BUT, DON'T worry, we'll find you and your sister a home soon!!! What's your name?"

"Catherine"

"Catherine that's a lovely name, and your sisters?

"Caitlin"

Chuck interrupted "These are the daughters of Robert Mayberry, who is also known as "TECHNOSTRENGTH"

Wendy choked on the glass of water she was casually sipping on and coughed out "The TECHNOSTRENGTH" Chuck laughed "Yeah, thought I told you that?"

"OBVIOUSLY NOT CHUCK!" the whole room was filled with laughter, these adult jokes are just getting lamer and lamer every year!

Soon there was a knock at the door, "Come in!", a tall man with luscious slicked black hair and beautiful ocean blue eyes you could almost get lost in walked in.    
"Hey Wendy! Hello Girls!  Ready to go to see your new rooms?" the man said. "John, why don't you go do that? Hope you enjoy your stay here girls! See you in the morning!"

John,Catherine, and I walked in silence to our rooms down a long hallway, until John couldn't keep quiet any longer. "So how's your evening girls?"

"FINE"

I didn't reply, my evening couldn't have gotten ANY MORE WORSE than it already had! But I couldn't find the exact words to explain it to him.

"What's your names?"

"I'm Catherine, and this is my younger sister Caitlin."

"I'm sorry for this to happen to you all so quickly, and especially under circumstances like this on-"

"ITS OK" Catherine replied sternly.

I think John must got offended because it silenced him all the way till we got to our room.

After walking down the never ending hallway we finally reached our new rooms!!! I could NOT wait to finally rest my head on a pillow and doze off into a deep sleep where I didn't have to face my harsh reality.

"Alright we're here Catherine, here's your room, Caitlin and I will head downstairs, make yourself at home!" John smiled and began to walk away, expecting me to join him until...

"WAIT!?! So you're telling me I'm gonna get separated from my sister?!"

"Look, its under Wendy's rule, since you know Caitlin has special powers. We HAVE to keep them contained to make sure she doesn't harm or hurt anyone since she doesn't know how to control her powers, trust me I would keep you guys together but I'm not allowed until further notice.

"Can I at least talk to my sister one more time before I go to sleep?!"    
"Sure, I'll go down the hall to leave you some privacy."

"Caitlin, I want you to stand up for yourself, don't let anyone harm you or hurt you, your special and have some super abilities you don't know or fully understand but you will one day".

"What ability?"

"You'll figure it out soon" Catherine winked at me.

"Catherine, why are we here?

"I don't know but until then-"

"WHERE'S DADDY? WHY HASN'T HE COME YET?! DOESN'T HE LOVE US?" I blurted out unwillingly.

"LOOK, he's NOT coming back! I don't know why you keep on thinking he's going  to come BACK!  because clearly he's NOT, HE'S DEAD! YOUR THE REASON we're stuck in this PLACE! Catherine started to welt up with tears "EVERYTHING IS YOUR FAULT! Sometimes I wish you were NEVER born, ESPECIALLY TONIGHT!"

John came back at the worst time possible "You girls ready?"

Catherine glared at him and slammed the door in my face.

I immediately started sobbing uncontrollably and my body felt heavier than my head.

I dropped to the floor and heard ice forming around me as soon as I hit the ground.

John picked me up gently and carried me to my room.

I lost everything.

My Home.

My Mom.

My Dad.

My Sister.

Everything.

I lost my whole family.

All in one night.
