I walked down the alleyway to my sisters. I observed the scene infront of me. Megan was sleeping soundly my the regularly lit fire, her tattered blacket covering just half of her body. Daniella was reading her book. She'd already read it 14 times, but it was the only one we had. I promised her that we would find her another one someday, but she says that she can make do. Roxanne is, somewhere. I don't know. At this time she just runs off to explore the city. I keep telling her that she needs to stop it and be careful. There's a lot of crime in New York and if we lost her, I don't know what I'd do. I'm the oldest. I have to protect this familey, to any cost.
"Hey controller. You still up?" A snearing voice said.
I looked behind me to see my sister waiting, her arms crossed over her chest.
"What, no 'hello?', no 'how are you?', no 'I'm sorry for leaving us with no explination!'" I snapped back, my index finger prodding into her chest. She batted it away, her eyes staring into me.
"Well I'm sorry for wanting to have a little freedom! Somehow, being cooped up here all day didn't sound like my cup of tea!" SHe shouted, her thin arms tossed in the air.
"And I'm sorry for not wanting you to end up in a morge!"
"Well maybe you should try harder, oh perfect one!" She said, a perfectly audible growl afterwards.
"Stop it!" A new voice shouted, a hand of both my sister's chest and mine. We both turned to the middle to find Daniella standing there, there face red from obvious built-up anger, "I'm sick of ou two fighting all the time! You're the oldest of us 4, why can't you just make an example! You know Megan cries herself to sleep sometimes because she thinks we're falling apart!"
I run the back of my head guiltily as I turn to my sisters resting spot, just to find it vacant, only her blacket left. I look to my sisters, their looks say all and I know in my heart that somethin has happened.
"Nice going brainiac! You scared her of!" Roxanne shouts at my intellegent sister.
"Me?! You're the one who started all this, if you didn't go off every night just becau-"
I wolf-wistle loudly to interupt their arguement. I go up to my scwabling siblings and rest a hand of their shoulders.
"Not now." I state,"Now, we find Megan, nothing else."
Danni and Rox look to each other and nod, pausing their arguement for now. Because right now, it's rescue time.
Megan's POV
I ran away, I just kept on running. I ran from the constant arguing that I lived though everyday. I ran from the shouting and fighting that I now called a normal day. I ran from my sisters, who I didn't know anymore.
I kept on running until I ran into someone. His hard body relected me and I bounced back onto the pavement.
"Well what's a preety thging like you doing running so fast?" A taunting voice asked.
"She's probably running to us." A second voice sugested, in a snearing matter that reminded me of my sister, Rox. I shuffled back, attempting to escape these madman, but I only went back into another guy. I looked up, fear in my eyes. He only laughed and reached down, covering my mouth with his sweaty hand and reaching his other one around me, pinning my arms at my side. He picked me up and carried me at his side like a prize. I struggled against him but his grip remained strong.
He walked on until he came to a dead end. He threw me down as if I was just an emotionless object.
"Now Honey, we're getting what we want. We can do this the easy way or the hard way." He stated, cracking his nuckles at the last option. He walked forward and started to pull up my shirt and quickly I, without thinking, slapped him hard round the face.
"Your funeral, doll-face." One of the other men said. He advanced on me, going for his prize.
"Excuse me gentlemen, I believe thats ours." A easily recorngiseable voice said.
"Lucy!" I cried out.
"Megs!" Rox called. She saw me and instantly growled. She ran forward to the nearest thug as Danni ran to me.
"Megan, You're bleeding." She stated, staring at my head. "I'm dizzy Danni." I replied, clutching the side of my head.
I heard a cry out and sharply turned to find Rox lying infront of the gang member she had tried to attack. Another advanced on us and grabbed Danni by her shoulders. I called out her name, but it was in vain, for she was soon thrown to a nearby wall, hitting it and falling to the floor, unmoving.
I hodl by breath as I hear the last cry out. Slowly, I turn my head to find Lucy lying on the floor, a knife plunged into her skin just below her shoulder. I wimper as I gaze from one of my fallen sisters to another.
"No!"
An unfimilar voice cried from above me as I started to fade in and out of consiousness. All I see are flashes of green, blue, red, purple and orange before the black consumes me and I finally pass out.
