Chapter 1: Loss

"Quick Alexandra, this way" Katherine hissed and the small blonde haired child pressed herself to the older girl. Katherine Silver could hear the blaring of sirens and the yelling of cops.

"Freeze, Katherine! I know you're here!" The cops yelled. Katherine threw her bag to the side, only taking the time to grab her black gun and cock it. Alexandra started to cry and tiny bullets of rain and hail bombarded the sisters' skin and bruised the flesh. The rainfall drenched their dresses and Katherine knew that Alex could not make it farther. Katherine had no idea where to go. None whatsoever.

"We're going to die! I don't want to die!" Alexandra wailed and Katherine couldn't help but to silently agree. The two girls had been running for days and only stopping when the weather was so bad it was dangerous. They had stayed at different inns but no matter how hard Katherine tried to keep them safe something always went wrong and right now Alex was very sick. It was all his fault. If her stupid father hadn't been so greedy she would be in the warm and safe Spyglass Tavern but because of her father Katherine Silver and her sister Alexandra Silver were being chassed by cops. Katherine gasped as the car wound the bend.

"ALEXANDRA TO ME!" Katherine screamed and looked at the pale child frozen with fear. Katherine stood there helpless. "TO ME, ALEX! COME TO ME!" Katherine yelled and a feeling of helplessness drowned her as the car came whizzing towards her.

"Please help me…" Alex said weakly and Katherine wanted to run and help her but she was frozen with fear. She wanted to take the bullet for her sister but she didn't have time to think of death. She didn't know who to say good-bye to. She wanted to live and then quickly brushed the thoughts away and watched the road horrified as the car screeched around the bend and the little pale girl collapsed in the road. Tears started to slip out of Katherine's eyes but she held them in. Alexandra needs me to be strong. I cant quite! I'll save you, Alexandra! God, I'm such a loser! I should have run! I should have thrown her out of the way! Should have- Katherine's thoughts were cut short by the car's fast whizzing which sent her flying at a tree and almost knocked her out cold.

"Katherine Silver?" One of the robot cops asked in a mechanical voice. Katherine weakly nodded to overcome with grief and pain to respond or fight back. One of the robots grabbed her arm and one of them disarmed her. Katherine feebly looked at the road and saw Alexandra's small and mutilated body. Her eyes widened and her tears started to flow heavier. Salty tears oozed down her face and she was filled with rage and anger that she had never before felt. A burning sensation shot through her stomach and she felt like her bones were melting. She cried out with rage and with pain. The hail pierced her sun burned skin and knotted her tangled blonde hair into an even greater mess.

"NO! YOU CANT TAKE ME! SHE'S HURT! SHE NEEDS ME!" Katherine yelled in a fit of rage and fear for Alexandra. She looked around and in fruitless attempts not to hyperventilate tears were slipping out easier than they ever had before. They flowed freely down her face because the reality of the situation hit her. Alexandra was gone. She was dead and Katherine had sit there and let it happen she had done just as much as the car that hit her. The cops paid no mind to her and effortlessly dragged her falling body into the car. Despite her struggles they threw her into the car and drove off into the night.
