You Reap What You Sow

-You Reap What You Sow by Jennifer Bryant

Chapter1: Reap What You Sow

Queens, New York 1895

Madaline Lace's POV

I watched my youngest sister (Kaitlyn) peer into my room and look at me with her big blue eyes to make sure I was asleep. Well, she thought I still was. She motioned my other two sisters to come into our room with some very yummy smelling food. I studied my younger sisters as they walked in.

First was Alison (my eleven year old sister), she walked in with, what I suspected to be, hot chocolate. She had her curly red hair pulled into a ponytail with a white ribbon and her bangs pinned back with a simple clip; she had on a rosy pink dress with white trims and a white sash going around her waist to match the one in her hair. Her hazel eyes held innocence and uncertainty, of what she was uncertain of? I'm still not sure.

Next was Cassandra (my ten year old sister), she walked in with our lunch. She had her curly blonde hair down with a black ribbon like a headband and her side bangs in her eyes; she wore a teal dress with black trims and a black sash going around her waist to match the one in her hair. Her multi-colored eyes held a mischievous sinister glint; the little trouble maker who gets away with everything.

And last but not least, Kaitlyn (my eight year old sister), she walked in with white roses, my favorite. She had her straight light brown hair back in a fancy braid held by a teal ribbon, probably Cassandra's doing; she had on a dress that was white with teal trims and a teal sash was tied around her waist. Her blue eyes held the innocence that Cassandra and I longed for.

Kaitlyn jumped up onto my bed and on top of me. "Wake up Maddie!" she giggled to me as she jumped up and down on my bed. I smiled.

"We made you lunch Madaline." Alison said smiling at me. I pulled my straight black hair into a bun on my head tying it with a pink ribbon.

"Well get off your lazy butt. You only turn thirteen once Mads." Cassandra said looking at me with a look that basically said 'dad could come back at any moment'.

"Fine; I'm up. God Cass," I stood up and straightened out my black dress, it had a pink sash around the waist and pink trims. We sat down at the table and started to eat.

When we had finished eating we heard our father slam the door closed downstairs and could tell he was drunk, again. Cassandra and I sent the other two to the room and told them not to come out until we told them to. Cassandra and I were the ones who knew to fight and defend, it was instinct.

"Where is your mother?!" he shouted coming around the corner as the other two girls disappeared into their bedroom.

"She died." I said through clenched teeth. He had killed our mother two years ago when he was drunk and me and Cassandra had witnessed it. Every time he was drunk he would forget.

"How?" he asked shocked and angry.

"You killed her! You dirty, rotten, no good, son of a-"

"Cassandra!" I shouted. He walked toward her with a knife.

"What did you say?" he was right in front of her. He was three times her size, but she stood her ground; damn her pride, would get her killed one day. "Your mother leaves me with you and this is how you treat me." He turned to me now. "You; you're a little brat." He pushed me and I fell.

"You bitch!" Cassandra yelled. He turned back to her. "Don't you dare fucking touch my sister." She pushed him.

"Why you little…" he grabbed her neck and pulled her eye level with him. "I take care of you and this is how I'm treated?"

Her face was going red but she showed no fear. "You call this taking care of us? We don't get food more than half of the time, you scare the living shit outta my sisters. You don't do shit for us. And you know what? You reap what you sow." Venom seeped into every word and she spit in his face. He slapped her and dropped her on the ground, her cheek started bleeding and her face turned towards me. Her normally happy, laughter filled eyes were dark with anger, and a storm raged on inside them. We made eye contact and I nodded. I lied; she's the fighter, I'm just the eldest. She got up and turned towards him. She punched him square in the jaw; her punch did some damage and he stumbled back before regaining his balance and almost effortlessly pushing her into the wall. She fell to the ground and he, having totally forgotten about me, walked downstairs and out of the house. I ran over to my little sister and picked her up bringing her up to our room.

We needed to get out of here, as soon as possible.

You're running away through the nights so black

The stars on your shoulder are pulling you back

Chapter2: Running Away

Cassandra Lace's POV

Ow, splitting headache. Dammit. The fuck happened? Oh yeah. Ryan. Sorry excuse for a dad.

"Cassie?" Kaitlyn.

"Please wake up Cass." Madison.

"Cassandra you better fucking wake up." Ahh and there's Alison.

"Well ain't you nice." I mumbled not bothering to open my eyes.

"See she's fine." Alison's voice sounded further away. I opened my eyes to see Alison walking around putting her valuable stuff in a book bag.

"Alice; what are you doing?" I looked at Mads and Kay, they had bags too and were handing me one.

"We're getting out of here." She grabbed some of our brother's clothes and handed them to me. "Change, then put your dress at the bottom of your bag."

I did as told, and Mads bandaged my chest. I looked at myself; I had on a dark blue button up, gray pants, purple suspenders and brown lace up boots on. Alison had on a purple button up, gray pants, dark blue suspenders and Brown lace up boots on. Kaitlyn had on a light green button up, brown pants, yellow suspenders and black lace up boots on. Madison had on a faded yellow shirt, brown pants, faded green suspenders and black lace up boots on. They all had their chests bandaged as well. Madison handed me and Alison gray newsies caps and we tucked our hair under them, Madison and Kaitlyn did the same with their brown newsie caps.

"We look like-" Kaitlyn didn't get to finish.

"Fucking boys!" Alison and I said; sometimes I swear we were supposed to be twins.

"That's the point." Madison said. "We're getting out of here."

"Finally." I said. "Let's go." I walked out of the room with my bag.

"Yay! Adventure time!" Kaitlyn yelled.

"Shhhh. Kay; you have to be quiet." I whispered.

"Okay Cassie; spy mode." Kaitlyn said.

"She's so weird." I said.

"You raised her Cassandra." Alison said.

"Shut up Alice."

We got to the door and our dad slammed it open. "Where do you think you are going?" he yelled.

"To the store." Madison said.

"I don't think so back to your room!" he yelled.

We didn't have to be told twice, we were gone. Once upstairs I pulled open the window and looked down the fire escape. I gulped; not good with heights. I slipped out and helped Kaitlyn out as well. Madison and Alison came out next. Madison went down first followed by me. I went a few steps before Kaitlyn so I could catch her if she fell. Once we were down safely Alison came down.

"Goodbye house." I said.

We looked back at our window before we turned and ran. We weren't just running; we were running away through the dark night as the stars tried to pull us back.

I hope you guys enjoyed the first chapter! Please review… I will only update if I get more than one review. So please please please review :)
