The sky was gray and the light shower rain was pouring down since early in the morning. A few black birds was flying around as if participating in the mourning ceremony. But it still didn't hindered the people at the cemetery. Crying and sobbing sound was heard from here and there.

Aislynn scanned her eyes to the crowd at the cemetery and finally stopped at a particular place. Near the tombs, stand a few tiny silhouettes that was still crying loudly and no sign of stopping.

Among them, there was a slightly taller boy. He tried so hard to suppressed his sobbing as he must stand strong for his siblings. He now the biggest and eldest person in their family so he must stand strong.

Aislynn was keeping her eyes on their action but still didn't make way to them. She saw the old her in their situation. She once lost her family too so maybe that was the reasons why she couldn't took her eyes from them.

"So the parents now gone, what should we do to the kids? They are still young and needs someone to take care of them. But most important things is how about their inheritance? Their parents for sure leave them a lot of money," suddenly she heard a coarse voice that was laced with greed.

Hearing that, her blood boiled with anger. The parents tombs still fresh but the nuts old people already talked about their inheritance. But still she didn't do anything. She just stayed by the side watching the drama unfolded silently.

She want to see how far those old raccoons will go. And for sure she have some inkling on their relationship with the siblings.

"Ryan come. Take along your siblings, we'll go home for now," an older looking woman said to the eldest.

Ryan just glanced at her for a while then resume his blank stare on the tombs. After a while, the woman gave up and said,

"I'll wait for you at the car then."

Ryan just simply nodded.

"Ryan,will mom and dad come back?" asked Lisa, his second sister.

"No Lisa. We are on our own now. Our uncles and aunt will not take us for sure."

Even though the people at the cenetery has long gone, Aislynn still stood there. And when she heard what Ryab said, a light flickered in her eyes.

'It seems that this kid was not fool at all. Interesting.'

"Guys lets go. Baby Daniel still needs us," Ryan gestured towards his three siblings.

All four of them were walking silently to the car. But to their surprised, the car was gone. Bitter smile appeared on his lip. The cemetery and their mansion was not far but its was not near too. He was contemplating on how to go back as his siblings all still small and he only sixteen.

"Come, take my car. Let me send you guys home," a voice suddenly breaking his thought.

The sweet and melodious voice belong to a girl which stood not far from him. The girl look so young, maybe still in early twenties, black haired which was tied into simple ponytail, fair looking skin and beautiful too.

"Who are you?" even if she was a girl, Ryan still needs to take precautions.

"Who am I? Lets go home,then you'll know. Don't worry, I won't kidnapped you guys. I am still young, I don't want to go to the jail for attempt kidnap. Hurry up, your siblings look so cold," Aislynn said while walking to the car.

Ryan still look back and forth towards his siblings and the girl. Finally he took  his first step, grabbing along his sibling and he wished that his decision is right.
