Amy held tightly onto Danny's hand, him being oblivious to what was going on. She felt mad at him for not being sad, even though she knew it wasn't his fault.

The funeral had been that morning. Amy had sat next to her grandmother, Grace. Grace and Amy had held each other and cried the entire funeral. After, the man that had sat with them took them to Aunt Beatrice. She was an old lady with a lot of wrinkles and always smelled gross.

Amy knew that Aunt Beatrice didn't want them. Amy wasn't too thrilled about living with her either. They both protested to Grace and the man, trying to make Grace be their guardian.

"Why do I have to take care of them? I don't want children!" Aunt Beatrice was spitting, her face twisted with rage.

"She smells weird. I don't want her, I want you!" Amy could feel hot tears coming.

Grace just smiled sadly down at Amy. "One day, my child, you will understand why I couldn't take you in. There are many reasons. I'm sure Aunt Beatrice will be a very good caregiver. And you," Grace said, looking up at Beatrice. "You know our deal. You want them to suffer." Grace gave Beatrice a look that suggested there was more to that statement.

Aunt Beatrice slumped over, finally giving in. "Whatever, come children. We're going to my home." She turned around, and began to stomp back to her car. Amy looked back at Grace.

"She's going to treat us horrible! Take us in!"

"I told you love, one day you will understand. And you will come stay with me every weekend. You and Danny. You take good care of him. You will make me proud one day Amy. Very proud." Grace walked away, not looking back.

Amy was slightly stunned. Why would Grace be proud of me? Amy thought. What will I do? She walked back to the car, catching up with Aunt Beatrice and Danny.

In the car, Aunt Beatrice was getting ready to go. Amy turned around and looked back. She could see where her house was in the distance.

Someday, I'll make you proud Grace. And Mom. And Dad. I promise.

Storie's over! Just something short, nothing special. I don't own anything. Hope you guys liked it.
