Why do we continue to walk when we have no where to go? They said we needed to follow the track's until we reach our destination. I will never figure out these boys. The two younger ones are Matt and Tyler. Tyler is the smallest. Conner and Kyle are the oldest. They are the same size, but Kyle's spiked up hair makes him look taller
The track's we follow are not human. I think it belongs to a dog. i sigh."we are never going to get anywhere." Ky was so heavy. Since he fell asleep i had to hold him for the past day. The sun was setting behind us and we had only cloths to sleep on. Conner is dragging me suitcase along with his.
My eyes are starting to flutter. Memories of blue butterfly's came racing back. My mom, dad, and I would catch them in our hands then let them go. Their wings were as smooth as silk, but i was careful not to touch that part. A later memory of my mom talking to me as we laid down in the soft grass appeared. She told me to find the blue butterflies. I laughed telling her she was silly and they were right here. one had flown right on her nose and we burst out in laughter.
"We are here," Kyle mumbled. Still in my thoughts I was surprised to see a forest ahead of us."Let's go before the sun sets," Tyler yelled over his shoulder as he marched into the dense forest. I swear i saw a butterfly. i shook my head and kept walking. The deeper in we got the more flowers appeared. My heart raced. No no they can't be taking me here.
I was angry yet excited. Why here? How? The house appeared. It was bright yellow still and the blue butterflies fluttered around. She came running out of the house with red eyes and a wide smile. A tear rolled down her face, following a path that so many others took. She hugged me and said she loved me.
My sister Rose always gave me hope and courage."I love you too.Where is mom?" She looks at me and says " She is inside welcome home." Hope is in many things. To me Rose.To my mom Dad. Then i realize i found hope in other things when Ky woke up and said " My mommy says hope is in blue butterflies," and we all burst out laughing
