The Other Sister

Sister, Sister

I took Ivy home and waited for her to fall asleep before leaving her and going to the hospital to be with Jacinda.

When I went back home Ivy was no longer there… I started to dial frantically and saw her phone and wallet still in her nightstand. That horrible feeling started to sink in. I ran to the hospital and went in Anastasia's room, hoping to find mother but neither mother nor Anastasia was there. I asked the front desk, "Have you seen the people in that room?!"

"No miss." the nurse replies.

I closed my eyes and tried to think, Where could they be?

I ran to Lucy's room, Jacinda was clearly surprise. "Rose, are you alright?"

"Roni? Where is she?!"

"In the bar why?"

I didn't reply, I just have this feeling that she was connected to my family's sudden disappearance. I drove to the bar, without care of the traffic lights.

The bar was silent, except for the loud noise coming from the basement. As I walked down, I heard Roni, "I'm gonna kill Victoria!"

"Roni?!" I call out.

"Rose! Can you open this door?"

"Its locked." I sigh. I looked around in a surge of panic I started banging on the door until I hear the door rattling. "Oh lovely." I then kicked the door open. "Eight years of karate lessons paid off."  I laugh.

"Where's Belfrey?!" Roni questions.

"I came to ask you the same question. My sister is also missing!"

"What?!"

"This is not Good." Kelly shakes her head. "Not good at all."

I rolled my eyes, "If you, two, drunks are done… I have a family to find."

I ran towards the green house heard screaming and crying, I knew it was Ivy. I ran to the rescue but I was too late, I see mother laying on the floor lifeless and Ivy crying craddling our mother's head. Then Rogers and Weaver burst in. Ivy says, "Its my mother, it was supposed to be me… but she…"

I knelt beside my sister and hugged her. It was then that I realized that I should have never left Ivy alone.
