No, Im not human

Chapter 4

I am so nervous about meeting my sister for the first time. I have no idea how I'm going to hide my secret! what if she finds out? will she keep it a secret or will she try and expose me?

We walk through the doors and my mother asks for Winter.

The lady agrees and goes into the back room with screaming , whiny, bratty children. We sit next to the doors, just waiting in silence, the only noise are the kids in the other room. I can feel my mothers gaze on me. I don't dare look over at her.

The lady finally comes back into the room we waited in and, holding hands with her, a small girl walks in. her hair a brown-sh blonde, like my hair, but shorter, my hair is a little longer than shoulder length. Her skin tone is a golden color, she must get a lot of sun. I am very pasty, pale, compared to her. We are also the same height. Her eyes are gorgeous, they are a very light blie, and mine are an orange-sh brown color.

She sees me and shrikes in joy. Before i can fully react to her shrieking, she is already clinging onto me. I hug her back and she releases my torso. She keeps her hands on my shoulders and she has the widest smile i could ever see.

"I'm Winter, your sister!" she shrieks again, but jumps up and down uncontrollably. i stand up and smile back at her. I am glad that i have a sister, but not so excited about my secret being kept.

"Ok girls, lets go home." my father grabs both of our hands and leads us out of the door. We run to the car happily and let go of our fathers hand. Winter and I open the door and get in the car as fast as we can. We giggle at each other, having a hard time with the belt buckle.

When Winter and I finally calm down from our giggling fit, my mother starts the car and pulls out of the sitter's house.

I see Winter looking cautiously at our mother. "hey mom?"

"Yes sweetie?" she replies, not looking away from the road.

"when is Autum's birthday?" Winter asks, genuinely curious

I can see my mother tense up when Winter extends her hand out to touch Kelli's arm. Winter looks like she had remembered something and snatched her hand away. Kelli is still tense, even when Winters hand isn't there.

"Ooh, her birthday? Well, its close to yours, Winter. Hers is February 29th, 2000. And autumn, your sister's birthday is February 11th."

Winter and I look at each other and smile. We spring into a laugh again at how close our birthdays are.

I look at Winter and wipe the tears that formed under my eyes, "Hey winter?"

She wipes her tears away too, "Yea? and why are you crying?"

I laugh again and smile,"No, I'm not crying, their laugh tears, when you laugh too hard you get them! and you do too!!"

We start to laugh again at her silly question. We both begin to fall asleep, very quietly, we doze off, still in the car.

----------------------------- At Home------------------------------

Winter and I wake in our room. She is still very tired, so she falls back asleep, not wondering what time it is, what were going to have for lunch, or how we got into the room.

My best guess is that our parents brought us up here to rest. But i have no clue what time it is and what we will be having for lunch.

I rub the sleep from my eyes and sit up on my bed. I sit there for a moment and wonder what I'm going to do for something to eat, i don't know for sure that its lunch time.

I wander out of my room and down the stairs to the kitchen. Yet again, i find my mother and father at the island, drinking something that i think is coffee.

"hi mommy, hi daddy." i say, with sleep still in my voice. i walk over to my dad and hug his knees.

"hi sweet pea! how did you sleep?" he places his hands on the sides of my torso and lifts me onto his lap. I giggle at the rush of energy i get.

"good, um daddy?"  I smile and look at him.

"yes sweet pea?" he smiles back at me.

"what time is it?"  I ask him.

he laughs at my question and points to the stove. I look at it and i see a set of green numbers on the stove. it reads, 2:36.

I look at him and smile. "what should we have for lunch?"

He laughs at my question again and replies, "if you can go get your sister up, and down here, we will have breakfast for lunch. You girls can help me make pancakes!!" He lifts me up off of his lap and sets me down on the floor.

I run to the stairs, and start to crawl up the stairs (i don't know how to walk properly up the stairs yet)  up to our room.

I open the creaky door into our room and I make sure i don't wake her up. I slowly walk to the edge of her bed and slide under. I laugh a little at what I'm about to do. I make a fist with my hand and push on the bottom of the mattress.

She doesn't wake up. I try again but I pound on it with both of my hands. She still doesn't wake up.

Dang! she is a heavy sleeper!

Right when i was about to try again, she shrieks and jumps on the bed. I slide out from under her, before i get damaged, and laugh at her reaction!

i stand and try to get her off of the bed. "Winter! WINTER! it was just me! calm down!!" I grab ahold of her arms and pull her off of the bed.

When I realize my hands are FREEZING I let go and rub my hands together. She looks at me, with wide eyes and a blank expression. She realizes how she is staring at me and changes her expression to a forced smile. She runs down the stairs before i can react to her leaving the room.

When i realize that i have been standing here too long, I walk back downstairs. I see my parents making pancakes for my sister and I sit down at the table, opposite of where Winter is.

"How many pancakes will you girls want?" my mother says, concentrating on the pan in front of her. I try not to make eye contact with her.

I sit and stare anywhere and everywhere I can to not make eye contact with anyone until my mother brings the pancakes.

We eat and i sit in silence unless I'm spoken to.

After lunch, we played with dolls and other toys she has in a big blue bin.  I was having so much fun with winter, totally forgetting abut what had happened in our room.
