I don't own any of the Naruto series or the pictures that I use. All rights go to the owners.
Lucy Elswood: is 15 years old (turning 16), a freshman, has brown chocolate hair with long layers and side bangs; brown eyes, wears glasses
Mabel Elswood: is 12 years old, a six grader, has light brown hair, it's straight with side bangs, and brown eyes
Both don't have parent. They live under the remains of their parents money.
Lucy's POV
I am finally heading home! School is killing me with "study this" and "test that"... Well I'm sick of it! I know I have to be in the top 10%, so I can get into a good college or university. I want Mabel to have a good life. ~10 minutes later~ I am in front of my doorstep and taking out my keys. As I opened the door, there was confetti in my face.
Mabel's POV
I saw the door opening, and I fired the confetti canons! Lucy was a bit startled. "Happy Birthday Lucy!", I yelled as I hugged her. She dropped her backpack and hugged me back. "Thank you, Mabel! I totally forgot that it was my birthday today.", said Lucy as she pushed me back to see the decorations.
Lucy's POV
I can't believe Mabel did this! There is balloons everywhere, confetti on the floor, and a small birthday cake that says "HAPPY BIRTHDAY!". Mabel smiled at me and ran to go get something. I think it's my present no doubt about it.
"Hold on! I need to get your present."  I went to the living room and sat on the sofa. Man, I'm so tired. I can just sleep...but I can't do that to Mabel. She put a lot of effort to do everything. I slapped my cheeks, so I can stay awake. ~2 minutes later~ Mabel came with the present. It was a small box, so I guess it's jewelry. I opened the box, and it was a golden locket shaped like a heart. There was a diamond in the middle, and I realized that Mabel used her allowance on this gift.
She shouldn't have. I know that she wanted to save up money for an expensive toy she wanted, but she used it on me. I open the locket and I found two pictures. On the left side, there is a picture of me and Mabel, and the other is a picture of Mom and Dad. I shed a few tears because it's been so long since I saw them. It's been like 5 years since the car accident. Mabel is the only family that I had left.
"I knew you would love it. I found those photos in an album at the attic. It was kinda hard to find it." Mabel is so sweet. I put on the necklace and gave her a hug.
"Thank you! I love this present. Hey, why don't I make my famous ramen?" I got up and went towards the kitchen. Mabel went up and down, and I knew the answer. ~6 minutes later~ I finished making the ramen. I always put hot dogs and ham and making the ramen soft just like Mabel likes it.
I put the two bowls on the coffee table, and Mabel put two glasses of Coke. Mabel got the TV remote and turned it on. There was no signal...huh? I checked the window in the front, and it was raining outside with thunder and lightning.
"AW! Why did it have to rain on your birthday?", Mabel said with a pouty face. Then I heard thunder. BOOOM! I shrieked. I ran under the dinner table shaking. Yeah, yeah, I'm terrified of thunder so don't judge me. Mabel gave me a sad face but then changed to a smile.
"Do you want to watch Naruto in Netflix?" I nodded. Even though I haven't watched Naruto a billion time like my sister, it's fun to watch something with my sister. I only watched up to where Naruto and Sasuke fight each other at the water falls scene, but Mabel keeps spoiling it for me and shows me future episodes. However, I haven't had the time to watch Naruto recently because of school and studying.
I got out from under the table, and I sat next to Mabel eating ramen. She put it in episode one even though I watched it a bunch of times, but I don't mind. As long as Mabel is happy, then I'm happy. We finished our meal, and I took the dishes to the sink. I began washing them, and Mabel asked, "Which is your favorite characters Lucy?"
"My favorite characters are: Naruto, Sasuke, and Kakashi. And you?" I finished washing the dishes, and I sat next to Mabel.
"Well my favorites are: Naruto, Sakura, and a little bit for fish-sticks." Mabel stuck her tongue after she said "fish-sticks".
"You don't like Sasuke, do you?" I asked.
"No I don't. He is jerk and he looks like a fish flying in the sky. And he flies...and he doesn't fly in the ocean. Which is weird. Plus, he left his friends for power which is really mean. Oh yeah, he wears a lot of makeup especially in the lip region. I prefer no lipstick at all. Plus, his friends went to all of that trouble and get themselves hurt just for a brat and just to see him leave right before their eyes. =.=" Mabel did an impression of Sasuke but as a fish. Man, she really hates Sasuke...
Mabel's POV
The storm is not getting any better. even though I put the volume at maximum, Lucy can still hear the thunder. STUPID THUNDER!!! CAN YOU DO ANYTHING ELSE BESIDES MAKING NOISE AND SCARING LUCY! Just then I felt a gush of wind. I thought it was nothing. It must have been the AC. Then the light began flickering and the windows opened. There was a lot of wind and rain coming out of the windows.
"Help me shut the windows!", yelled Lucy as she got up from the sofa. Just then, lightning struck from the window and towards the TV. The TV went berserk and started sucking up... MY SISTER?!?!
Lucy's POV
I felt a pulling sensation from my feet. I started grabbing the sofa, but it was moving with me. Then I saw Mabel grabbing my arms. I saw all of the small light things going towards the wormhole like granola bars on the bar, aw...my mini pink backpack on the sofa, and MY SKETCHBOOK?!? Mabel is having a hard time pulling me away, but I'm too big for her to pull me out of this.
"Don't worry Lucy. I'll pull you out of this and get you a new mini backpack and sketchbook.", said Mabel with a smile. I can tell she wants to cry because she doesn't want to lose me.
"Mabel, you have to let me go. You can't pull me out of this. You don't have the strength to pull a 114 pound girl." I had to face the facts.
"Oh no. Don't you start saying all this good-bye "die in this moment stuff" you promised me that you will be there for me after Mom and Dad died. 'Hermanas hasta el final' 'Sisters until the end' " Mabel started crying. Her tears went on my face.
"Heh, I will always be there for you, in  your heart. Your going to hate me doing this. I love you, and I will always be with you in spirit." I was crying as well. I let go of my sister's hands. She was slowly losing her grip.
"NOOOO! LLUUCCY! I LOVE YOU TOO! I WILL NEVER FORGET YOU!" She was screaming on top of her lungs.
Then I went into blackness.
Mabel's POV
I wasn't strong enough. I saw Lucy being engulfed in darkness. I reached my hand towards Lucy, but she fell faster and faster. "NNOO!!! I heard her last words before I let go... "Hermanas hasta el final".
Then the wormhole began to close. I tried to go in there too, but it closed too quickly. Now, the storm calmed down, the lights went back to normal, and I'm here all alone at the house. I found my sister's favorite sweater. I hugged it tightly, and I started crying on my knees.
