The five children and two nightmares

Chapter 8

Chapter 8

I ran what felt like forever, thoughts playing in my head as a horror movie about what could've happened when I left my siblings there.

Bloody scenes kept playing in my mind as I ran and ran only stoping to catch my breath for a few seconds. I was about half way there and almost falling down while running, how can I be such a fool for leaving them like that crying and begging for me to stay. I really am a bad older sister. Every thing I did to protect them was thrown in their faces when I got to go home and they didn't.

As I watched how Noah tried to stay strong and hold back those tears he just couldn't cause he was still to young to keep his emotions bottled up like that. Emily, jack and Sophie pleaded with their cries and yells for me not to leave them. As a older sister I will either save them or die with them to show them I didn't abandon them.

I could see the smoke from the chimney it must still work no matter how old and broken it may have looked.

Thoughts ran through my mind like a quick scary movie. I wanted to run all the way there but my legs wouldn't let me. My legs they were so tired that every time I tried to run I would fall.

I walked until I was at the same drive way I had left by. I saw the place looking the exact same nothing moved ,nothing touched , nothing but silence and sadness. The yard looked dead as well as the house did. I had to work up enough strength to say hello before I could actually say it.

" h- he- hello" I said so low it sounded like a whisper.

" HELLO!" I said louder this time.

" RACHEL!" I heard coming for the side of the house.

I looked to see Sophie standing there.

Tears poured down my face like a wild river. Just her yelling my name made me tremble cause she still loved me like she always had and nothing less. I sink to the ground on my knee and cried. Sophie just came over to me and hugged me tight like her live dependent on it.

" I'm so sorry" I said to Sophie as I wrapped my arms around her.

She started crying. I was hold her sobbing body close cause she was shaking so much from crying.

" I was so scared Rachel" she said as she wiped her tears.

" I know baby that's why I just had to run back to you and the others" I say hugging her again.

" R-Rachel" Emily said slowly walking toward us but then broke out into a run.

"RACHEL!" Emily said running into me with a hard hug that made my fall over onto my back.

" missed you too Emily" I say crying all over again.

Emily just laid on top me hugging me so tight I almost couldn't breathe. She was so happy I had returned and didn't hate how can she not hate me. Jack just came running over with tears streaming down his face and hugged me without saying a word. I can't believe how much I missed their hugs and the way they call my name. I can't believe I'm breaking down like this. My legs are so sore that I can't even pull myself up off the ground.

"Rachel why did you came back? Why did you leave mom and dad?" Noah said ever so lightly like he was about to cry.

"I came back cause it's my duty as a big sister and i had to leave them cause it means more to me to be with all of you guys then be a only child with mom and dad.

I rather be Rachel with the four best siblings in the world then have none" once I said that I looked up at Noah to see tears flow down his face like a river in a storm.
