The thick smoke in the air was suffocating them both. The fire had unpleasantly woken them up from their slumber and the scene before them was devastating. Fire crawled up the walls and devoured everything in its path, showing no mercy and they would be next if they didn't get out soon.

The heat was excruciating and the walls looked just about ready to collapse. Both of them ran outside coughing and wheezing when the elder realized their mother wasn't out yet and went back in to get her.

"Get out!" the woman pleaded with her eight year old daughter, still lying in her bed.

"Mom! Come on!" the girl said trying to pull on her mother's arm.

"There's no time! Please! Go!" she urged.

There was no way an eight year old would be able to carry a fully grown woman to the exit by herself. The house was already fully engulfed in the flames and they were surrounded by blazing walls.

"Take this..." The mother said as she took off her necklace and handed it to her daughter and pushed her away. The girl scampered outside without her mother, fire at her heals. Once outside, the winter chill gave relief from the fire's warmth as both children watched their home finally collapse. Their mother's final words were echoing in the elder's ears as they watched some ash and cinder blow away.

"Take care. I love you both."

In the snow covered town a few miles away, a dense smoke could be seen rising in the location of the burning home. The orange light from the fire that lit up the night sky like a sunset died down and the town's people stood to stare in wonder.

The two children were seen standing in front of pile of burning wood that used to be their little home. The younger of the two was sitting down in the mushy snow, sobbing uncontrollably as her home turned to ashes. Her tiny five year old hands wiped at the tears her innocent, dark brown eyes shed as her head was bent down, leaving her long black hair to cover her face. Her sister just stood there staring wide-eyed at her burning house, dumbfounded at the events that just took place.

The fire had started so suddenly and had spread so quickly. Their ill mother wasn't even able to get out of bed. The tears starting creeping down the older child's face as she thought how things could have ended differently.

'If I was with mom in the beginning, I could have gotten her out in time…If Alina wasn't born mom wouldn't even have been sick! I can even bet that it was the lantern she lit that caused the fire!' She thought to herself, pinning the blame on the younger.

"Mama, where are you?" Alina whimpered, her voice barely audible over the roar of the flames and the crackling wood. Her sister clenched her fists. Even the sound of her voice pissed her off.

"She's not coming out." the older growled, trying to hold back the rage.

"Why not, Onee-chan?" Alina questioned.

"Why? She was so sick after having you that she couldn't even get up! She's dead, idiot!" she snapped. Fresh new tears were forming in Alina's red, swollen eyes.

"Onee-"

"Don't call me that! A monster like you isn't my sister." the elder one hissed. She turned her back towards her sister and started walking in the direction of the town.

"Don't follow me. Go die for all I care." She growled as she continued walking, not even sparing a glance at her bawling sister.

"Onee-chan! Fay nee-chan! D-don't leave me behind!" Alina screamed as she choked back her sobs as much as possible. Sitting in the snow next to what was left of her burning house, she watched her sister's retreating back in the distance.

Looking down, Alina caught a glimpse of a necklace Fay had dropped, the necklace she saw their mom wearing every day. She reached for it, the only memento she had left from her family. Sobbing quietly to herself as she held on tightly to the jewel, she lost consciousness, falling into a world of darkness.

OK...that was an epic failure...I plan on this story to get better but I can only try and hope....Sorry if I wasted your time. Don't kill me.

Review please? Give me pointers and tell me how I'm doing (Should I continue or is this story a lost cause? )

Better yet...someone be my beta. (You can see how much I need one. I NEED HELP!) =p

Next chapter (or 1st chapter) takes place 11 years later and might come next week...I don't know yet because I'm going out of town...
