GloomyClouds

1. Sister's bond

"Don't you think it's beautiful Christina?" Drew asked with a glimmer in his eyes. "What?" I asked. "How the clouds look so gloomy, yet the moon turns them into something so pretty with it's moonlight". he said. "What are you on about?" I asked with a slightly irritated voice. "Don't worry you'll figure it out once you've blossomed into the person you're eventually going to become".

"Christina! Christina!!! What is it Eve? Dad is coming home soon, you better finish the dishes fast". Eve was my older sister. She was around 14, and I was 7. I had two other sisters, Isabelle and Elizabeth, Isabelle was 11 and Liz was only 4 at the time. Despite being so young, we all had to work our asses off to take care of the house and each other, since no one else would. My mom had a serious disease, and was too weak to do anything. My dad was an alcoholic. "You do it then! You're way better at doing the dishes than me!". Eve looked at me for a second, and then her head span towards the door rapidly, as if she had heard the devil himself. Moments after I heard the same thing as she had. It was the sound of a key entering the keyhole. Dad entered the room looking drunk as usual. Behind him stood a wealthy looking man, with a neatly trimmed moustache, accompanied by what looked like his wife. "Girls!!!" My father yelled. It didn't take long for all of us to line up in front of my father and our visitors. "These lovely people want to have a good look at all of you" My father said in a strict voice. Our strange visitors bended over to have a good look at all of us. I was really confused as to what was happening. Shortly after, my dad sent everyone away, but Eve. Judging by the strict look in my fathers eyes, I knew that they had something of great importance to discuss. I decided to listen in on their conversation. "They want liz" is what I could make out of my father's muffled voice. "No way! We can't lose our beloved Lizzy, we simply can't! Eve cried out. "Keep it down will you!?" My dad said angrily. "Don't worry they said that Christina would do too." My father whispered. I was starting to get a bit concerned. They were done talking. I quickly sat down on a chair and acted as if I hadn't heard a thing. Eve walked towards me. She had a smile on her face, but it was clearly fake. "You're going on vacation with our visitors" she said. I had no choice but to go with them. My father told me to, and there was no defying my father...
