U R Mine

Chapter 9

Max's Pov:

I was wokenup by the chills. It was very cold suddenly. The time was 3am. I looked my next bed to see what Cullen was doing. She was really upset with windey's behaviour. She never wanted her to be like that. I turned towards her bed. She wasnt there. I quickly gotoff the bed and searched the washroom. She wasnt there even. I could feel heavy airflow. I looked out of the window and it seems like a stromn outside. I cameout of my room to search Cullen. She was really afraid of heavy rains and thunders. I tried to on the light outside my room so that it lightens the entire corridor. But there seems to be a power cut. So the light didnt get on. I am not sure where the candels were, but i decided to make an attempt searching them. I went inside the room and checked all the cupboards but there were no candels. Instead i found a matchbox. Something is better than nothing. So i lit a matchstick and suddenly..
Thud..thud...
The door was shutting and opening. Hmm...heavy air...heavy rain..and doors, windows shutting will be common.

I didnt care it a much, came to the door and put a stopper. I came out of the room and the matchstick got exhausted. I lit a new one and suddenly a face... a face infront of mine. I recoiled back and left the matchstick in fear. I started to hyperventilate. After a few seconds i grabbed all my courage and lit one more matchstick. But this time... there was nothing infront of me. I cautiously looked into all the directions. But everything was normal. " arey... you are imagining things. Go forward and look for your sister. She is really scared of what was happening outside" my instance said. I got down the stairs. There were only three areas where i need to search her. One was the kitchen, the other was the hall and the lastone was granny's room. I bet she wont be in granny's room because she complained me about the badsmell there. "Max..its so stinky in granny's room. Bet no one could stay in that room otherthan her." she said.So the only two chances were the kitchen and the hall. I went to the living area and searched everywhere. But she wasnt there. I went to the kitchen and the matchstick blewout. It was the fifth one. I am getting scared everytime i lit a matchstick. Well..i went into the kitchen and searched every corner. But she wasnt there. where have she gone? Might be to Windey's room? I decided to check there once. When i was about to leave the kitchen.. i heard water drops.

It was from the sink. The tap wasnt tightly offed and water was falling into the sink as drops. I went to the sink . I turned it off completely and when i turned back.. suddenly i felt something wrong. I looked back and through the window by the sink... i saw a horrific thing.. Cullen was sitting in the swing.

Knock...knock....

I wokeup. It was 7am. I gotoff the bed, went to the door and opened it. "Windey, i wokeup first today... Cullen was late by 30minuites. My chocolate? ". Thats what i do everyday morning. Who ever wakes up first will be given a chocolate. That has become a so called... tradition in our house. " Max,.. i dont have a chocolate now. I will give you in the afternoon. Now go and brush." "But we completed brushing windey. Cullen was late even then. ". " guys..how many times should i tell you not to compete while brushing? Thats really a very bad habbit Max. Dont encourage your sister towards it. That may spoil her gums. You are grown up and you need to know what is the best thing for a child to do." . Thats what my mom exactly used to say. Noticing that similarity Max gave a big laugh. Ofcourse thats what i even wanted. I looked to Cullen smiling. But she didnt smile back. Why?? Didnt she comeout of what happened yesterday? ." Cullen.. are you alright? Do you need anymore sleep? " i asked. "No.. i am alright. Just stop worrying about me. I will be fine" .saying this she rushed to her room and closed the door in a bang.

"I think she slept late. When i wokeup at 3am she wasnt beside me. I looked the entire room and bathroom but she wasnt there. I searched the entire house and..finally i found her in the lawn, swinging. I ran to her and asked " hey cullen.. what are you doing in the rain. Come inside. If windey comes to know this she will definitely give you a tit.". But she didnt even look at me. I grabbed her hand and brought her inside. I gave her a towel and " Dry yourself with this" i said. But she didnt respond. She got to her bed silently and wrapped herself into the blanket and slept without saying a word." said Max. I was shocked because she doesnt have a habit of using a blanket while sleeping. Even if it is so cool she never uses a blanket.   " i thought she was disturbed with yesterday's thing and i didnt try waking her up Windey." ." Hmmm..that should be the reason Max. She really loves me and i knew it. I will make sure that i dont behave to her in such a way again."
