Understanding
Struggling to open her eyes, Sandy tried sitting up but failed. She called "M-ma!" her mother came rushing in, she sighed seeing her daughter laying there, she hoped that this didn't happen. She walked over to the six year old, saying "Honey, 'member when all of us went to the hospital, and you had to leave for a while."
She nodded, wondering what her mother was going on about. Jodi continued "Well, the doctor told me that you had a disease that erases cells from your body, and as you grow it gets more health endangering for you, sweetie." she knew Sandy was very smart for a six year old, so it wasn't hard to explain. As much as it hurt, she couldn't let her daughter suffer and not know what was wrong, if only there was cure. Sure it happened to a lot of people, and it hurt then. But it hurt so much more, knowing that your only daughter had to live with this for the rest of her life.
Sandy looked at her mother in bewilderment, knowing that this thing affected her more than herself. She smiled at her mother and said "I'll be fine, mama. Nothing can stop me." she laughed at her daughter's enthusiasm, she replied "That's right, Sandy."
Sandy yawned as her mother closed the door, she wrapped her arms around herself as she was wracked with sobs. Her son, Randy hugged her as he silently let tears stream down his face. Sandy sat in her bed, hearing the cries outside, she frowned thinking it was her fault for her brother and mother's tears. Sleep quickly overtook her, as she laid back down. The next day, Sandy went to her parents room to see if her mother and father were awake. She shook her father's shoulders, saying "Pa, wake up. Randy and I are up, wake up."
He opened his eyes at the raucous voice, he chuckled and replied "I'm up, I'm up." he looked down at her with a smile, he picked her up as she laughed. Carrying her to the kitchen, he sat down in a chair next to her brother. Hours later after breakfast, Sandra and Randy sat back to back both reading 'Where the red fern grows.' Sandy closed the book, got up and went outside. The wind blew through her fur as she ran through the grass, she stopped as dark clouds covered the sky. She shook seeing a cloaked figure slowly making its way towards her. The figure said "Your time will come, for death is on your trail."
She jolted up, panting at the vividness of her nightmare, she muttered to herself "Why would I dream of my childhood?" she walked over to her door and saw Spongebob standing there. She smiled and heard him say "Sandy, are you feeling okay? You look pale."
He was right, she did look a shade lighter. She replied "It's nothing, Spongebob. Let's go down to the Krusty Krab." she took his hand and raced to the restaurant.
A/N: So, was it good, bad, somewhere in between? Noted that I do not own this disease, I just used Sega's NIDS thing and took from there. Speaking of which I own nothing.
