The Dark Sister

Chapter 2

*1 Week Later*

Ranae's P.O.V

Today is July 11th. Meaning my birthday! I looked at my clock and it read 10:15. I quickly went to the pond and took a bath then threw on my best clothes (ripped skinny jeans, gray off the shoulder, and my regular black flats). I looked at the time, 11:05. She should be coming any minute. I'm so excited! I always have the best birthdays now that Sophie is with me.

*4 hours later*

I looked at the time again and it read 3:15. I've been sitting here for 4 hours! Where could she be? I looked at my calendar that she gave me as a birthday present last year. I found July 11th and. . . .

It's a Friday. I felt my heart drop. My eyes started to sting and my vision getting blurry, meaning I was starting to cry. I dropped my calendar and sat down on my mattress. She wouldn't leave without a goodbye would she? The people don't come till 1:00 though. She always came before lunch just in case. Did she leave already? Is she okay? Is she with the right people? Is she with a loving mother and father? Will they take good care of her? What if-

Footsteps cut off my train of thought. I was grateful, I didn't want to start on the 'What if' questions. I wiped my tears away and looked towards the sound. There stood the little girl who was in my mind in her cute dress that her mum left her and my head band that I gave her.

"Sophie!" I ran up to her and hugged her with all my strength. I pulled back and looked her in the eyes, "Where were you? I was worried sick!" It was then that I noticed the stray tears on her cheeks.

"Oh Rae! Something happened." She looked down and started to cry more. "What happened?" I pulled her back into a hug and sat her down on the mattress. "I'm getting adopted!" She sobbed. I felt my heart break. This was it. I wasn't going to see her anymore. I would be lonely again while she'll be having a family.

I smiled the best smile I could muster up and pulled her to stand. "That's great news Soph! You get to have a mummy and daddy! You get to be in a family!"

"But what about you? I don't want to go away! You're my big sister. I need you!" She sobbed. "We'll meet again. It's not forever." I said softly. "You promise?" "I promise."

I looked at the time. It read 3:30. "What time do you have to get back?" I asked. "Four." I suddenly got an idea.

"Remember our favorite song?" I asked her. She smiled. "Would you like to sing and dance with me?" She smiled again and nodded her head.

And that started the dancing and the laughs.

"I like the summer rain

I like sounds you make

We put the world away

We get so disconnected

You are my getaway

You are my favorite place

We put the world away

Yeah we're so disconnected"

We sung the chorus together while i twirled her and she twirled me. Just smiling.

We sung our favorite song, laughing at our silly moves and just making the most of the time we have left.

We sung it two more before I looked at the clock, 3:55.

I only had 5 more minutes before my baby sister is taken from me..

I looked Sophie in the eyes. "Remember Soph, we will see each other again one day. Okay?" Her eyes started to tear up again. "I know Rae." I placed my hands around her smaller ones. "Don't forget me. Always have that headband as a reminder of me. Will you do that for me?" She looked back at me with wide eyes. "I will never forget you Rae! You're my big sister! I will keep it for the rest of my life." I smiled, my eyes getting wet with tears and said, "Good. Because you're my little sister."

I looked at the time, 3:57. I'm running out of time!

I quickly looked her in the eyes. "If you ever get scared or mad, sing our song. Ok? Sing our song and it will be like I'm there with you." She nodded, "Promise?" "Promise."

I looked at the time again and quickly hugged her while she squeezed me back harder. I whispered in her ear, "I love you Sophie." "I love you too Ranae."

I looked at the time again, 3:59. It's time. "It's time for you to go Sophie. You get to go have a mummy and daddy!" She smiled a watery smile and quickly went through the gate, trying to wipe off all her tears.

I watched as she went back to the orphanage with tears streaming down my face, making my vision blurry.

And for the first time in a long time....

I sobbed.

I knew that feeling was real. I don't think I'm going to see her ever again. What a wonderful birthday! Note the sarcasm.

What I didn't know though, was that someone had came a minute after Sophie came, watching the whole thing.

Someone who would change my life forever...

A/N:

I know I updated a little late but I've been so busy. Hope you guys liked this one. I thought it would be nice to show that she takes more after her mom and really does have the ability to love. Well anyway, I'll probably update in about 2 or 3 days hmm maybe next week. Dunno. Just keep an eye out! Thanks for reading this!!
