Pinky Promise

"You are all she has left. Never let her go. Always protect her through the dark. Promise me that you'll always keep your baby sister safe".

"I promise mama".

And just like that, she was gone.

I stared down at my baby sister sobbing into my chest as she called out for our mother to come back. But she wasn't.

"I pinky promise to always keep you safe. I'll never let anyone hurt you Lucy".
