The Tale of Two Sisters

chapter two

I get in the car with my guardian Susan. Susan has bright red hair and beautiful green eyes. She is very nice to me and my sister.

"Are you going to be okay Alice? You don't look very well." Said Susan

"I'm fine I just need some time to take it all in." I say

Susan nods her head and starts to drive. I look out the window. The sky is dark and you can see the stars twinkle. It is all very lovely.

We get home and I walk up to my room. I lie down on my bed and start to cry. I cry for what feels like forever. I don't want my sister to leave me. I need her more than I realized. I sit up and wipe the tears from my eyes and look around. I look at all of the old pictures of my sister and me. I find the birthday card she gave me this last year when I turned 18.

Dear Alice,
Happy birthday! Thank you for all that you have done for me. Thanks for being my big sis. Thanks for being there when I fell down. Thanks for taking care of me after mom and dad left. I love you and I hope you have a wonderful birthday.

Natasha
I start crying even more after I read that. I'm going to miss her so much. I grab a picture off of the night stand next to my bed. It's me and my sister when I was 5 and she 3. We looked so happy then. I set down the picture and walk down to the kitchen. I get a drink of water and go back up stairs. I put on my blue panda pajama pants and an old t-shirt. I turn on my fan and climb into bed. I stare at the ceiling and think about what tomorrow is going to be like. Tomorrow the day my sister gets banished. The day I lose her forever. I can't do that I don't want to lose her. She is my best friend. I don't know what I would do with out her.

I wake up the next morning and get dressed. I walk down stairs to see Susan sitting there with a cup of coffee.

"Good morning Alice we are going to need to leave here in a couple of minutes. Grab something to eat and hop in the car."

I nod my head and grab an apple out of the fridge. I eat it as I walk up stairs. I go into my room and grab my black leather jacket and my dark blue bag. I also grab my converse and slide those on. I walk down stairs and go into the garage. Inside is a small silver minivan and I see Susan inside. I climb in and she starts the car. She looks over and me and gives my a sad look. I give her a weak smile and I almost start to cry again. I hold it back I can't look weak I must look strong for Natasha. I have too.

We get to the giant wall that separates us from the dark forest. We pull into a parking spot and climb out. There are a ton of people. They are mostly quiet and just kinda whispering to each other. I walk over and see Natasha standing there surrounded by guards. I run over to her to give her a hug. One of the guards stops me before I could reach her. He is very tall with dark brown hair and brown eyes. He looks at me very sternly.

"No one is allowed to come near the prisoner." Says the guard

" She is my sister I demand I get to see before I never get to see her again." I basically scream.

He looks surprised and the kinda looks around and another guard comes over. He isn't as tall as the other guard but looks like he is in charge. He has blond hair and blue eyes.

"Let her go see her sister. It's fine" he says

The other guard nodes his head and walks away.

"Sorry about that he is new. Now let's go see your sister." He says

We walk over to my sister. She turns around and smiles and me. I run over to her and give her a hug. We stand there for a long time just hugging each other. We pull away and she looks at me and says:

"I didn't do it ok so what ever you are thinking it is not true because I could never do something like that. And..." She say

I stop her half way through.

"I know it wasn't you so you don't have to worry." I say

She nods her head and breaths a small sigh of relief. We give each other another hug because we don't know what to say.

"Alright ladies and gentlemen can I have your full attention. We are here today to banish Natasha Mildred for the murder of Brodey Carey. All the evidence has pointed to her. So if the guard would open the gates we can send Miss Natasha on her way." Says the mayor

He doesn't look so happy. I looks very stressed out and sad.

The big metal doors open with a loud squeak. Everyone looks inside the gate. There it is the woods. I looks over at my sister to see her face drain of color. I look down and knees start to shake. One of the guards grabs her elbow and drags her to the gate because if she tried she would fall on her face. The guard gets her to the edge of the gate then tells her something she nods her head. She starts to walk. She gets through the gates and turns around. Out of the corner of my eye I see the mayor nod his head. The gate starts to close. I look at my sister and then I see her turn away. Then the gate finally closes.
