(Hey peeps! I obviously have a new chappie for you guys, and I hope this longer chapter will make up for the long wait. And for the last time, I'm not gonna explain what's going on, because it would take too long. And I'm lazy, so deal with it. But also this is the last chapter of Lily's Tale, so for those of you that have been a little tired of this storytelling, do not fear as it will end soon. I also have not pre-written any of this, so it might be a little sloppy. Also, don't play the song yet, I'll cue the music when it's time.)
(Recap)
"Alright, thanks guys. Now we better get on our way, or it'll be dark when we get there." They laugh at this, then hop onto my back. Sam remarks in a light tone of voice, "But you fworgot Sissy, you are the one taking us there!" I chuckle at this, then hike them up higher on my back. "I know that, now let's go!" I race down the mountain, the twins giggling on my back. I wish this moment could last forever, the three of us laughing and joking for hours on end. But I fear this may be one of the last moments we would share together for a long time.
(An hour or so later.......)
"Sissy, are you sure we aren't lost?", Matt asks while playing with my hair, curling it around his slim finger and then letting it spring away from him. I turn to him, my face the very definition of exasperation. "I'm sure, and you two were always asleep whenever we visited Grandma, so how would you know?" He shrugs his little shoulders, then frowns and faces away from me. "Well, excuse me, but I'm a growing boy, so of course me and Sam would nap on the way there. Isn't that right Sam?" He jabs with his thumb repeatedly into Sam's side, until his twin wakes up with a snort.
"Uh huh, swure did. Me and Matt would sleep like bears the whole way there. Now has anybody seen the sugar faiwy? I want someathat candwy.............zzzzzzzzzzz" He falls asleep shortly afterwards, nestling his little scrunched up face into my shoulder, probably now dreaming of his sugar fairy, or whatever he was talking about. I sigh, then face Matt again. "I'll worry about how to get there. You should worry about not falling asleep in the next 5 minutes." He nods, then falls asleep immediately on my back. Well, I hope he'll be alright after this ride, especially with what's going to happen soon.
(Time Skip to when they get there, cause I too lazy to do a filler or something like that.)
"Boys, we're here." They wake up sleepily, falling off my back in the process. I laugh softly, then start dragging them along the well worn dirt track. "Really you two, it's not that far off now." They just lift their heads, groan some incomprehensible words, and let their heads go limp again. "Nevermind." I continue to drag them along, the fireflies dancing all around us, keeping the nighttime's shadows at bay. I stop for a moment to rest, dropping the twins on a flat rock nearby. They curl up together and fall asleep in a second, the poor boys all worn out after our long day's journey.
I look up to the lights sprinkled across the sky, twinkling cheerfully at me. I smile back at them and sit next to the boys, shuffling them a bit to the side and lie on my back, facing the brilliant lit up dome above us. The full moon was beginning to rise, it's beams shooting through the leafy branches creating mini spotlights all around the clearing. One of the lunar shards of light shot into my eye, causing black spots to dance in front of my eyes. Dang, that's pretty hardcore light, especially when it dives right into your eyeball!
I shake my head side to side to clear my vision, then get up and haul the boys unto my back, and continue walking along the path. Eventually I saw the darkness begin to recede as I followed it, slowly being dissolved by warm golden light spilling out of the cabin's shabby looking doorway. The only thing marring the perfect sight was a shadow, that looked exactly like her.
