An old portrait showed three boys in their swimsuits, most of their skin covered in the sand they were playing in. That day they had built the biggest sand castle ever. The boy with blue eyes had made sure the walls were perfectly straight with absolutely no dents or lumps. The one with green eyes wanted to destroy the castle before its completion, but his boss wouldn't let him. It was when a young boy with wavy blond hair walked up with the other two that picture was taken.
From another portrait there was a little girl with deep brown eyes. Her brown hair was in pig tails blowing in the wind with her blue dress. A large smile was on her face. She was standing in the water, dolphins nearby. It appeared to be that she was at the beach.
A little girl, no more than three, had a big grin on her dusty tan face. She was standing in the garden, surrounded by tomatoes. Her long white gown was stained with dirt, her sunbonnet displaced on her head. She was holding a small basket of tomatoes in her chubby little hands, her baby curls poking out of her bonnet.
The same little girl was in the last picture with her two best friends. She wore almost the same grin as before, but now she was 16. She had grown taller, her baby fat disappearing. Her hands were thin, as was the rest of her frame. Her blue-green eyes sparkled and her wavy brown hair fell down all around her face going down to the small of her back. She wore a larger version of her former dress, but longer, and strapless.
She was standing with two boys, much older than her. The one had wavy blonde hair with blue-violet eyes in a big hoodie. The other boy had dark brown hair and hazel green eyes and a nice dress shirt and pants. Both had their arms around her, smiling at her. A birthday banner was behind them, a little lamb in her arms. The date was listed September 8th.
All of these children were missed. They had all grown up and moved on. These children didn't need them, not anymore. Life just wasn't the same without them. It felt empty without the pitter-patter of little feet, the screams of laughter. Even the smell of the animals they kept were missed.
More would be needed to fill the void.
Author's Note: Bonus points to anyone who can identify four of the kids! One is an OC, so asking for all five would be a stretch, but if you think you know, take a guess! If you get all four right, than we will write a one-shot of your choosing.
Steggy here! IF you want to take a crack at the fifth kid there are clues…so good luck!
