The rain flowed hard, the tears flowed harder. Sable desperately looked left, trying hardest of all to conceal her tears. Her two sisters silently stared in utter shock, immobilized by fear, fear of reality, fear that this was real. For how could it be? In a blink they'd all wake up in their beds and begin to forget the details of the nightmare. This couldn't happen to them, right? They saw things like that on TV sometimes but it never happened to them, why the idea of this, it being real was... impossible.
The youngest of the trio of sisters was Mabel, she was so very young, she looked frightened by the sad and probably quite horrified looks of her older sisters. It was as if her young mind easily dismissed the possibility of what had happened so that she could never imagine it. For a moment Sable was envious, and the next she felt pity for her. Sometime she would find out right? She would have to. However could YOU go up to a young child and tell her that her parents died in a car crash?
The other was Label. She was, like Sable, into fashion. yet it seemed she was dedicated to only the highest and fanciest of clothing. One of her main fashion idols was Gracie, a giraffe famous for setting great standards for fashion. She was making no effort to hide her emotions, but it didn't seem as if she was truly aware of them at all. In her mind she seemed to be having a battle between truth and ideals. (The ideals being her parents were fine and truth being that they were not.) and so she she stayed there, mouth dropping obviously still not accepting this.
The final sister was Sable, the oldest. She had always been uncomfortable around strangers but had always been there for her younger siblings. It looked like they were going to need her more than ever now.
Mabel in innocence not understanding their shock and grief attempted to cheer them up, bouncing continually in the rather wet and freezing snow making a very audible sloshing sound smiling and giggling uncontrollably. She began to slow down noticing their expressions hadn't changed and they still looked very sad for some reason and began to get confused, that trick ALWAYS made them happy again, she didn't like to see them upset but she hadn't a clue why or what to do about it. She waddled over to Sable and tugged on her shirt trying to get her attention so she could make her smile again, but then when she looked at her she looked so sad, why she looked like she was about to cry and Mabel didn't know at all why. Nothing bad happened and sun was setting so that meant that soon mommy and daddy would be coming home and they would have supper and play so surely there was no reason to be sad.
A cold wind blew by, sending a cold chill rushing up their spines and awakening them from their trance. Sable opened her mouth attempting to speak but found no words. In silence she began to lead her sisters home. The snow crunched and broke allowing their feet to sink deep into the frost. Mabel fared worst of all getting stuck continually. Eventually she fell , Sable looked back to see her desperately trying to get back on her feet. Mabel seemed to be shivering very hard. Without thinking Sable quickly scooped up the young child and continued on, occasionally looking back to be sure that Label was also with them. Another breeze swept by chilling all three to the bone. How had what was once a beautiful wintry wonderland grown so sinister?
Closely followed by Label, Sable quietly walked to the door of their home. They should have felt safe here, but now it felt hollow. Label didn't so much as look up as she marched in, not stopping once as she broke the silence by stomping on the wooden floor. Sable gently placed Mabel down, she ran off as soon as she felt ground, once again displaying the innocence and ignorance of childhood which she wanted so bad to stop from harming by what had happened. Maybe she could not speak of it, maybe she could never speak again, the sisters could often get on and understand each other without the need of words. She began to close the door, but slowed herself down for just a second.
The eldest sister let a single tear drop from her distant eye as she spoke aloud with sadness edging her voice. "Goodbye."
Sable: "If you're okay with it um... review please... ..."
