Chappy One

Flowers on the Rafters

Ballet music, I longed to play it and dance under those paper flowers that brought joy and laughter to the twins. But I couldn't play the music; the maids in the room downstairs were cleaning again and for now I was stuck sat down cutting paper flowers.

'Cathy, please will you stop daydreaming, you're going to cut yourself again.' Chris said,

I had cut my finger twice yesterday and today Chris couldn't run down for the medical supplies, 'I didn't cut them much!' I replied indignantly, 'and I wasn't daydreaming- Ouch!' I had cut myself again.

'Serve's you right' Chris smirked.

We were silent for a while, 'Chris? Where do you think Momma is?'

Chris sighed and put down his scissors, 'I told you Cathy. I don't know, maybe she is just- I dunno.'

'Well don't you think it's odd? She has been gone for a month now Chris'

'I know- listen, I think the maids are gone.'

We sat still and listened, 'come on, the twins must be hungry now, it's twelve o' clock.'

We crept towards the stairs with Cory and Carrie, in our arms and lent through the door to be encountered with a young maid.

We stopped short and stared at her silently. She obviously hadn't heard nor seen us and she continued cleaning, her ebony hair gleaming with life, just as mine had a year ago.

Carrie's hand banged against the closet door softly and I held my breath hoping the maid hadn't heard- of course she had.

She turned around and stared at us in shock.

'Oh my goodness,' she said bringing a hand to her throat.

A/N I know its short but it's just a beginning chapter. Chapter two up soon!
