The Dark Times: The Truth.

A sister's promise.

"I will stand beside you until the very end forever with you being your best friend." Anonymous.

" Amy." My sister Diana called trying to get my attention. I brought my focus from the window of the bus to her "Its gonna be fine." She smiled showing off her pearly white teeth.
"Yeah sure." I said sarcastically and looked down at my shoes, feeling abandon. I tried to make sense of everything, I live, lived with my mom Sarah and my foster sister Diana it was great until our mom decided to leave for no apparent reason. She claimed it was for us. To keep us save to give a better life and most of all we would be fine. Fine? Protect us? From what? October 17 I moved away from America back to london to start over. I sighed.
"It's gonna be fine." Diana reassured
"Fine," I chuckled angrily "our dad left us, our mom left us, I was forced to move from my friends to live my grandmother who I think is a witch. What's fine? When will it be fine?" I looked back to mirror and I saw faintly my reflection in the glass translucent with dirt, dust and bugs. My long, black hair was a messed, I was less than a pound over anorexic skinny. My blue eyes, Bloodshot with tiredness.
"Well um, um it will be fine cause you got me now smile. "She placed her fingers under my chin averted my eyes back at her she smiled at me.
It amazing was how happy and beautiful she was. Tall 5'9, slim, light caramel skin. Big, brown eyes, unlike me short 5'1, skinny, white. Tired blue eyes. Don't get me wrong a love me. Just not now.
"No." I frowned
"I guess I will have to make you. What you call a sleep walking nun?"
I rolled my eyes.
"Roaming Catholic." She laughed and I rolled my eyes, again.
"What do you get when you put a cow on a trampoline?"
" OMG, what do you get when put a cow on trampoline?" I asked with a fake interest.
"A milkshake."she laughed and I didn't. "Get it because a cow's milk shakes because of the tampol.... "she trailed off when she realized that I didn't care.
"Hey, knock, knock." She said with a huge smile on her face showing her white teeth. She was obviously trying to cheer me up.
"Who's there?"
"Tickle."
"Tickle, who?"
"Tickle you." she said and started tickling my slim frame.
"Stop, stop I can't breathe." I laughed breathless. "Please..." I laughed loudly, which caught the attention of some passengers riding along with us. "I surrender."
She stop tickling in me.
"I know it's hard, life's hard, but I promise you no matter how bad, how hard, how painful. I be will with you forever." she promised me
"Forever?"
"Eternity and whatever comes after." She confirmed. I placed my head on her shoulder. "I love you." She said
"I love you more."
"I love you the most." She finished " i have go use the lou." She got up.
"Hurry up." I ordered and she left. I stared through the window. "Amanda?" I turned to see... me. Only my eyes glowed gold, my skin paler. I looked healthier, stronger, my lips red like blood itself.
I rushed into my bag to get my pills. But I wasn't finding them. "No need to be afraid, I only come to warn you, turn back." I accidentally spilled the content in my bag trying to find the pills. "When you leave this bus will people die." She Whispered, I Whispered, The Illusion whispered.
"Try not to discover the truth."
It continued found my pills and took two. I close my eyes and I prayed the episode would stop.
"Amy, are you ok?" A familiar voice asked. Open my to see my hallucination has disappeared and Diana came back. "Are you ok?" She saw my pills "did you have an episode?"
I gulped and took up the contents that spilled from my bag.
"It's gonna be fine. I'm with you. Don't stress, ok?" I replaced my head on her shoulder and fell a sleep.
*******
"Amy, Amy....Wake up." Diana said. "It's our stop."
"What time is?" I asked still half-asleep.
"11:56." she answered.
"In the night?" my question was answered when I looked to see the uninvating darkness of night
"We have to go." she told me. We stepped out of the bus and we walked closely trying to find a way to our grandmother's house.
"Hey ladies." I heard a man call out saying.
"You look to see a man with bleach blonde hair and other men who was about 7 ft tall and 500 pounds.
"Good night." we said and  proceeded to walk faster. To our surprise they started to walk faster as well. "Where are you two from? never seen you here before?"
"We're not from here." Diana answered and he grabbed me
"No I don't want any trouble." I tried to free myself and the bigger guy grabbed Diana
"then don't struggle it won't be a problem at all."
"I have money." I said trying to persuade them "it's in my purse if you don't believe me you can have it ."
  He laughed "she thinks we want money Bradley." She called the fat guy and he laughed "we don't want money beautiful we want you and her". When he said that it became it as clear as day he wanted to rape us. Diana turned and faced the big guy and gave him cute smile. He grinned like a maniac and
She kicked him straight in his reproductive organ.
He punched her in face she fell down. I don't know What went over me with brute straight I through him in air he fell straight on his back, I punched the big guy down and kicked repeatedly until he laid  motionless. I helped Diana up and we started to run as fast as we could. Then I heard a gunshot we stopped and looked back to see the same blonde man holding a pistol and he shot at me. I closed my eyes and awaited the gunshot. Reopened my eyes of after seconds of waiting....
....waiting on my death. But it didn't come. I looked to Diana who stood in front of me. Smiling I trail of blood linked from her pink lips. I looked her stomach their was a huge hole in wound, blood sprayed. She looked down at it and fell to the ground. She coughed and Choked on her own blood. I cried and held her close. My sister was dead.
