Blink's POV-
Brooklyn lays asleep in my arms, wrapped up tightly in a blanket.
It's past midnight, everyone's asleep.
Brooklyn's eyes flutter open and she looks up at me.
"You're still awake?" She mutters sleepily
"Yeah. Can't sleep." I answer
She sits up, still curling up close to me
"I know the feeling."
I kiss her forehead.
"Me too."
Brooklyn's POV-
By morning, Blink and I are the first ones ready.
We grab our paper bag and head out the door before anyone else.
Puddles scatter the street from a storm last night and a light snow falls.
Blink grasps my hand.
I look up at him and smile.
Before we know it, a young girl, a couple years younger than us, crashes into us.
From the moment she does, she looks terrified, and runs off.
Something about her was familiar.
Blink looks over at me and we take off running.
The little girl ducks into an alley.
We follow and kneel in front of her.
"You okay?" I ask softly
She doesn't make eye contact, but she shakes her head.
I try again.
"Where's your family?"
She shrugs.
Her hair is light brown, chopped short, and her eyes are a dark shade of brown.
"Do you have a family?" Blink asks
She nods.
"Where are they?"
Again with the shrugging.
"Can you tell us your name?" I say
She nods.
"Quinn." She mutters
"Quinn there you are!!" Someone calls.
I turn around and see Katherine standing behind me.
"Hey, Katherine!" I smile.
She walks over and hugs Blink and I.
"Hey, Brooklyn. Hey, Blink." She smiles back.
Quinn looks up at Katherine and stands up.
"Wait, you know this girl?" I ask Katherine
She nods
"My sister." She replies
((Sorry it's so short, it's early and I'm tired, but it's relevant!))
