Hello eveyone! This is going to be a story about Emma overland, Jack's sister. A few things to note is that whenever a character is thinking in their head, the words are going to be italic. Thats it for now so enjoy :)

"Jack!"

Emma screamed as saw her brother fall through the ice where she was standing a moment before. She peered into the darkness of the water but was unable to see anything. Tears flooded into her eyes as she fell to her knees, partially from exhaustion and partially from the pain of loosing Jack.

Its all my fault! Emma was the one who asked to go ice scatting. She was the one who went onto the ice in the first place. It's all my fault! It's my fault that Jack is dead!

She stayed on her knees and wept for what seemed like hours until she wiped the tears from her eyes. It didn't do her much good though because she just cried even more.

Fianlly, she carefully crawled off the ice and made her way back home. How am I going to tell mother? She's going to be devistated! Emma sulked and tried to run. Run away from everything that just happened. Run away from the pain of loosing her brother. Run from reality and hope that it was just a bad dream. Please be a dream!

She knew it wasn't a dream though. It was all to real. The sound of the ice cracking beneath her feet. The expression of Jack right before he plunged into the icey water. It was all to real. To real to be a dream.

Emma kept running until she was in the house. It was like swallowing nails trying to tell her mother what happened. She couldn't beat Ben pain to see her mother's teary eyes and horrified expression.

That night, she got in bed and cried herself to sleep. She felt so alone. She wanted to go into her brother's room and sleep in the comfort of his arms. She wanted to feel his hand and he stroked her hair, helping her fall asleep.

Emma couldn't do any of that now. She will never be able to again.

Its been 3 weaks since the death of Jack Overland. Emma's mothe had gone into depression and could not do her job, forcing Emma to take charge so they could make the house payments and pay for food. It's too much for a little girl. Especially a little girl who had just lost the closes thing to her.

It was almost painful when she left bakery to go back home. The moon was high in the sky, lighting the dirt path in front of her. Every step was a reminder of what she's done.

Sne had taken no more than 20 steps when she heard the laughter of 3 boys approaching her. "Hey Emma, guess what we found out!"

Tears were already starting to flood into the poor girls eyes, but she didn't answer them."We heard that big brother had a little accident." The boy practically laughed each word that left his mouth.

Emma still remained silent. "That means no ones here to protect you this time!"

The boys all laughed as they took turns pushing Emma around until she fell down. She started to ball as she hit the ground and took off running into the woods.

Crying every step, she ran and ran deep into the forest as she remembered when Jack was still there.

Jack would walk home with her every day after school to make sure she was safe. One time, one of those same boys tried to push her, but Jack was there. After he was finished with that boy, he wouldn't so much as look at Emma anymore. That seemed like years ago.

Emma kept running through the woods as fast as she could. She kept running until she lost her balance and tripped over a tree root. She gripped her ankle and sat still on the floor.

Emma looked up and saw the moon through an opening in the tree tops. Anger suddenly filled her mind. "You were suppose to help! Jack said you help people, but you don't! Where were you then?"

Emma looked back down and sobbed. That's when she heard a voice that seemed to echo in her head. "You want to see him?"

Emma swallowed and looked around her. "Who's there?"

The voice echoed again. "I am the Man in the Moon."

Emma looked up in disbelief. He's talking to me! "You can show me my brother? You can show me Jack?"

The moon shown bright above her. "If it's what you wish."

Emma stood up as fast as lightning. "I do! I want to see him again!"

The moon replied in a soft voice. "You will never see your family again."

Emma took a step back. She thought hard for a moment before answering in a cold voice. "I don't have a family anymore."

The moon seemed to pulse when it answered Emma. "Then you must sleep."

Emma was suddenly overcome by a feeling of drowsiness and dissyness. She fell to the ground with a thud before closing her eyes and failing into a strange and unnatural sleep.
