"Pst wake up!"
"mmph"I groan as my little sister,Lily,shakes me awake.
"Mocha!"She says impatiently.
"What?!"I say
"Look outside!"She says excitedly pointing out the window "Look! Look!"u
Outside its snowing.I can see how excited she is, so sighing I nod
We pull on our snow gear.
"Lily where are my gloves?"I ask quietly.
"I don't know!"She says impatiently, "Hurry up!"
One quick glance round at Lily shows that she's ready to I give up on looking for my gloves and let Lily drag me outside.
The snow crunches beneath my feet.I look at the icicles dangling from the windowsill and smile.
"Snowball fight!"Says Lily throwing a snowball at me.
It hits my I bend down and pick up snow,forgetting that I'm not wearing my snow melts to water in my hands.I bite my lip in agony and wipe my hands on my jacket.I feel in my pocket and pull out my gloves,I quickly shove them on.I make three snowballs and lob them at Lily's laughs and soon there is a full blown snowball fight going get louder and suddenly there are our parents standing at the door looking angry.I lob a snowball at Lily but she ducks and it flies straight into my fathers face.I hold my breath.
His face breaks into a laugh and soon everyone is laughing and throwing snowballs at each other.I make sure my face isn't then go inside the kitchen for breakfast
Then the warm ,friendly atmosphere .The clank of armour and pounding on the kitchen door as we barricaded fear that took over my shaking body.
"Hide!"Yells my mother gesturing to the dumbwaiter lift.
I shake my head
"Lily goes!It'll break with the both of us in it"I yell.
"I'm not leaving you!"Shouts Lily,tears starting to pour down her face.
I pull her towards the dumbwaiter and sit her in it.
"Hey I'll see you when its my turn"I tell her gently
I promised and I saw her smile as she was lowered down into the darkness just as its my turn,the door bursts open and I'm dragged,screaming out the kitchen and into a cramped wooden room at the back of a carriage. As the carriage is pulled away,I peek through a crack in the once beautiful home is covered with orange and red and gold.I think of Lily and my parents still inside.I cry,because all that I have ever known is gone.
