Belle couldn't believe it. After 28 years of not remembering what Holly looked like and weeks of not knowing what happened to her since the curse broke, her sweet, carefree and mostly innocent little sister was curled up a ball on the ground in front of her. Belle wanted to cry. Ruby must have seen it, because she put her hand on Belle's shoulder and then, she bended down and tapped Holly, as lightly as was possible. Holly screamed and sat, bolt upright before beginning to sob. Ruby looked at Belle full of guilt. Belle gave a reassuring look, to show that it wasn't Ruby' s fault then couched down beside Holly and putting an arm round her. Holly tensed and looked up, meeting Belle's eyes. For a moment, they were full of terror, then regionition and Holly smiled. It had been 28 years since that smile had been on her face. "Belle?" Her voice was small, shy and scratchy, quite different from how Belle remembered it. Belle opened her mouth to speak, but, before she had the chance, Holly was hit with a violent coughing fit that shook her small body. Belle held her as close as possible, wanting her sister to know it was alright. Ruby gave Holly a handkerchief which Holly held over her mouth. Belle almost cried when Holly took the hanckie away from her face. The cloth was stained red with blood...
So what will happen? Will Holly be OK? Please Review. Again, sorry for lack of Rumple and the length.
