Chapter 1: Leaving The Past
I'm starting to feel ache in my muscles and my leg cramping. A long 4 hour drive can do that to a person. I glanced over my shoulder to look at the delicate sleeping form of a young child. Aurora, the most gorgeous 4 year old. Her soft brown curls that fall against her cheeks and the slight dimple she has on her left cheek. She has the sweetest most tender smile that only a 4 year old could have. Her eyes, they're just like her mother's - kind, loving, gentle and warm. Her mother, my sister, my half sister really, but it makes little difference to me. Kyla Aurora Davies.
-flashback-
"Daddy! Daddy!" an excited 6 year old Ashley Marie Davies screams as she runs up the walkway to her humble home. As she climbed the short two steps to reach her front door, she heard her mother's voice. In her excitement to share with her parents yet another day at school, she burst through the front door, big smile in place, the perfect definition of excited. The scene she was met with was less than welcoming. Tension was thick in the living room as the Davies family was greeted by their excited little girl. The first thing that caught little Ashley's eyes was a quiet little girl that looked so much like her, just a little smaller. The little girl, whom Ashley came to know as Kyla, looked so terrified that Ashley felt compelled to just go and hug her and hug her she did. This simple innocent act caught everyone in the room by surprise.
"Look Christine, if our daughter can be that accepting, can't you at least try? For the family?" Raife Davies pleads with his wife.
"Try Raife? You want me to try and accept this innocent little girl who has been abandoned by her mother, whom might I add, is the woman my husband had an affair with during his little business trip!" Christine Davies snapped.
"I know what I did cannot be excused, and i'll make it up to you for the rest of our lives together, but please don't make me turn away from my daughter," Raife adds.
"What do you take me for? An evil woman? But this doesn't mean you're forgiven!" Christine bites back.
"Thank you, thank you so much," Raife says as he releases a breath he didn't realise he was holding.
While the first few weeks at the Davies house was still tense, it gradually got better. Kyla found a way to all their hearts, even Christine couldn't help but be smitten with the 3 year old. But, no one adored Kyla more than her big sister, Ashley. Ashley was quick to accept the new addition to the family. Much to her parent's surprise, she wasn't hesitant to share the affection and toys she was used to as an only daughter in the family. In fact Ashley did everything in her power as a 6 year old to protect her little sister and to make her the most comfortable.
In her eyes, Kyla was her sister and no one could ever tell her otherwise. The two were inseparable, like they were real siblings.
-end flashback-
Kyla... Ashley thinks fondly as she wipes a stray tear. She will miss her little sister.
"You can trust me with Aurora little sis, you can trust me," Ashley quietly breathes out to no one.
