HI!! So this whole story is in Emma's point of view. There will be some heavy cussing, stuff dealing with demons/hell. SO if you don't like that, don't read. I hope you all enjoy!

Ping...

My eyes fluttered open to my bedroom with streaks of light flooding the floor from the window. I looked at my phone, which had alerted me to a new text, it was from my boyfriend, Aaron. I smiled and sat up, reading the good morning text. It read,

 Hey, beautiful. I missed you all day yesterday when you stayed home. I hope Emily feels better. You are an amazing, sweet, caring young woman. I am so lucky to have you :). I love you!! See you Monday!! :)

 My heart fluttered and I smiled even wider. But then I heard my littler sister's croupy cough from her bedroom across the hall. I got up from my warm, fluffy bed and walked in Emily's room. The room itself was a baby pink with light purple trim with lots and lots of stuffed animals. I looked down at the small bed to Emily. Her face was really red and she looked like she was in pain. I sat down on the edge of the bed moving a hedgehog plushy in the way. I put my hand to her head and t way hot to the touch.

"Emily, you gotta wake up now so I can give you your pills." I said softly while stroking her cheek. Mocha eyes slowly opened. She coughed again and held her chest. I rapped my arms around her and rocked her back and forth for a while.

"Sissy, it hurts..really hurts. My tummy feels wearied and my head feels like its going to go BOOM!"Emily said with the boom emphasized with her putting her small hands into a fist and expanding them when she moved her arm away from her head. I picked her up and carried her piggy-back style into the kitchen were mom was cooking breakfast. Eggs and bacon from what I was smelling. Emily had her arm clutched tightly around my neck as we walked. 

"Oh my! Emma sit Emily down on the counter and I will get her medicine." My mother half shouted when we entered the kitchen. I sat Emily down and she looked pitiful. My mother went into nurse mode and I got out of the way. I was really worried about Emily; she don't usually get sick, not to say she can't. This didn't seem like the common flu, she started mumbling things in her sleep last night. Stuff I could not make scene of. When my mother was done checking up on Emily,  I walked to my mom.

"Is she okay? This doesn't seem normal." I said, keeping my voice low. My mother simply nodded and said,

"Yes, she seems fine." I glanced over to the island were Emily was sitting and saw her look at the food on the frying pan."However, she might have to go back to the doctor." My mothers stern voice adverted my eyes back to her. I saw a older woman with a few gray hairs and crows feet around her eyes. But she was still full of life, just like my father.

"When is daddy getting up?" Emily asked, hopping down off the counter. 

"In a little while, Pumpkin. Why don't you watch some cartoons with Emma while I finish breakfast." My mother said to Emily and I. I walked towards the living room, grabbing the remote as I went along to the couch against the wall. A few seconds later, my sister jumped into my lap and snuggled close to me, coughing a few times. I found some Tom and Jerry and Emily looked content, so I whipped out my phone  had put into my sleep pants pocket. I stated to text Aaron, hoping her would respond. I texted a simple,

"hey"

A few seconds later I received a new message.

"Hello, wonderful. Would u like to talk?"

"yes I would. I'm really worried about Emily. She had a really bad fever and a cough that would make doctors cringe."

'Don't worry, I'm sure she will be fine. If you worry your mother will notice and she will get stressed and then your father will notice you and Mrs.Kinder being nervous. Do you see?"

I laughed a bit and responded,

"yeah, yeah, yeah. I will TRY to worry less. Emily is only 6 though."

"yeah?  I though she was 5."

"Her birthday was 3 days ago."

"Awww, tell her happy b-day for me!"

"Don't worry, Aaron, I will. I have to go eat now, bye love u"

"Love you too!"

I slipped my phone back in my pocket and looked down, Emily was sound asleep, I moved her head off my lap and down on a pillow. I walked in to the kitchen with mom serving up plates and dad walking out of the bed room. For some reason, I felt like something bad was going to happen.Like my life was too perfect. I shook it off and ate my bacon. Little did I know, my life was going to change forever.....
