Hush little Sister 7

Author Note: Okay, I am officially addicted to this story!

"We're getting a home?" Katie inquired as her brother carried her.

"Whatever you want," he kissed her face and twirled her around, "come on, you need to walk."

"You happy," the corners of her mouth twitched as her eyes got a sparkle.

"Well, so are you," he enjoyed this feeling, "when you smile, so do I."

Then it happened. She broke into a wide grin, nose crinkling and pumpkin teeth showing wide. He laughed, and both of them laughed for no apparent reason hysterically. He held his ribs as she rolled around on the hill, squealing a bit. Kneeling down, he proceeded to tickle her, which made her giggle. For a moment, everything was just perfect in the world.

"Come on, let's get going," he knew she was too heavy for him to carry up the hill, so he started up, "you got it."

He was halfway up when he realized she wasn't behind him. She was groping, holding a flower tightly.

"Coming?" he called down.

"Where are you?" he knew something was wrong. He wasn't that far away, and she was stumbling around. He slid down in front of her face.

"Here," he touched her cheek. She grasped his hand and shook.

"I can't see…" she whimpered, "why can't I see?"

He knew it was then this was Carson's fault. He felt so enraged, like he was going to murder him. Eyes filling, knowing she couldn't see, he grabbed her tight.

"Your blind.." he choked.

Her eyes were foggy and misty, now that he saw. She felt him shaking and reached for his face. Taking her hands, he kissed her nose.

"We're going to fix you," he swore, "and get a home. Okay?"

"I love you," she wept, "I want to see you!"

"And you will," he held her up, "I'm going to kill Daddy."

And what she said next made him almost die.

"Then let me help."
