When she walked through the dark ally way sitting on the nearest flat cardboard, she reached into her brown leather jacket pocket and fummbed around until her cold shaky fingers brushed past the smooth plastic bag she had been searching for. As she pulled I put along with the stolen lighter from her last 7-11 trip, she grabbed the spoon she had been uncomfortablelly keeping up her sleeve. Then as she poured the powder messily on to the cold matalic spoon she couldn't resist the screaming voice in the back of her head reminding her that this is exactly what she had been warned about. Shoving that thought out of her mind she glided her finger across the ignition in a desperate aren't to light the lighter . As the flame finally reveled its self from the metal she carefully raised the spoon above the flame and sat sighlently as she awaited her destiny to ripen.

As the powder turned into boiling liquid, she put the hot lighter in the ground and grabbed the nearest used suringe and slowly took it apart with one hand while angrily trying to ease her shaking as to not spill anything off the spoon. When she had finished pouring the hot liquid into the suringe she put it back together and slid up her sleeve and positioned the needle directly above her exposed vain on her left wrist and as she slowly pushed the dirty suringe closer the her skin, the entire earth seemed to rattle with a strange frightening voice calling her name, "Adde, Adde! Addelyn.

She was shaken again only to be awoke by a blinding brightness as she slowly came to the reality of the situation."Adde you were talking in your sleep again hun." As her eyes slowly adjusted to the flashlight being shined directly into her face she looked towards the direction that the deep voice came from. When she first realized it was her older brother ,Logan , her nerves were almost immediately put to ease. "Sorry I had another nightmare." Without warning her protective sibling leaned in to embrace her in a giant hug, considering her was a little over twice her 6 year old size, being that he was 11.

"Don't worry kid your ok" he gently smiles at her when realising her from his hug. As she smiled back she couldn't help but wonder why there parents didn't notice her disturbed slumber."Thanks Logan but, where are dad and mom?"

~Addelyn's P.O.V~

As i studied my loving brothers face waiting to know where our parents are, or rather mine. Logan had been adopted by my parents, they didn't get him from an orphanage because he was already a part of the family. Before I was born, Logan's parents were involved in a terrible plan crash with no surviving passengers. "They are on the porch having a smoke, are you sure your ok sweetheart?" He said with concern lacing his tired voice. "Ya I'm ok sorry for waking you up, again." As I jumped off the top bunk of our bed and landed with a thud  I threw an apologetic smile his way.

Grabbing my coat from the wall of nails and shrugging it on my shoulders I opened the sliding glass door leading to my small backyard . "Sweetie what are you doing up?" My mom said looking very confused at her young daughter standing in front of her. "I had another nightmare and I couldn't find you guys, cherry daddy" she said noticing the far to long load of ash on her father's ciggaret. As he ashed his smoke she watched as the burning red ash pile fell and hit the hard oak wood of their family's back porch."Go to bed Addelyn." He said taking another drag off his ciggaret. "Yes daddy,goodnight mom goodnight dad, love you."
