ROUGE
By FionaDearest
I couldn't wait. I was going to see Mama! I was overjoyed.
When Louis found out that if she went to see Mama with me she would miss school, she said, "Well, I guess I can make time to see her." She actually said that!!
Even though I wanted her to come, I didn't want her to come just so she could miss school. I called up Josie and asked her to take my homework for me. She agreed.
I threw on my nicest clothes and ran out to Daddy's car. Louis followed after me slowly. "Are you coming to see Mama, too?" I asked Daddy. He shook his head. "I've got to work, honey. But don't worry," he gave us each ten dollars, "I'll come back for you."
I felt so giddy when we walked into the institution. We walked up to the receptionist's desk. "Who are you here to see?" she asked us without even looking up from what she was doing. "Her name's Hamilton. Feta Hamilton."
I was about to burst out laughing when I heard that. It sounded sort of like "James Bond" or something like that. Louis glared at me. "Names?" the receptionist asked. "Louisiana and Rouge Hamilton," Louis answered.
"Third floor, room number 311." Louis headed off, but I stalled for a little bit. "Come on, Rouge!" my sister hissed through clenched teeth. "I wanna get this over with!"
I sighed but followed her. We took the elevator. "I'm so excited!" I said. Louis looked at me strangely. I smilied at her. She rolled her eyes and shook her head.
The elevator stopped somewhere between the second and third floor. Louis noticed it first. "Um, where are we?" she asked. We both gave each other the same look. We were stuck in an elevator.
Louis pushed the call button, "Hello?" she asked. No one answered. "Hello? HELLO!!" Still, there was no answer. "Oh no," she moaned. "We're stuck! I'm stuck! With you!"
I sighed and tried to push the door open button. "Hey!" I said, "The door opened!" "Great," Louis said sarcastically, "Now we can-"
"I don't believe it!" I shouted, "Look at this, Louis!" She turned around, "Oh my god. It's a secret passageway! We're free!!" But where does it lead to? I asked myself. I reluctantly followed Louis out of the elevator.
"We're free!" my sister shouted again. But I sighed and looked around. Where were we? How do we get out? I gulped and followed Louis, who had no idea where she was going.
Along the walls we saw all sorts of pictures. I shuddered and grabbed Louis' hand. She squeezed my hand and we continued walking together, afraid of what we might find.
"Where are we?" I asked Louis. "How the hell should I know?" she snapped back at me. Well, at least she wasn't afraid. Unlike me. I was shaking.
"Hey!" someone called to us, "You shouldn't be here! This is the, um, janitor's room." Louis opened her mouth to say a rude comeback, but I stepped on her foot. "How do we get out?" I asked. "Just go back the way you came," the man said.
We both shrugged and ran back to the elevator, pushed the third floor button, and the elevator started to move again. "Freaky," I said. Louis nodded.
The elevator reached the third floor. We both went to room 311 and saw Mama there, looking through a window. "Hi, Mama!" I called and ran over to hug her. "Hello, Rouge." She said back to me. Louis didn't move from her spot at the door.
I beckoned for her to come and hug Mama. She walked over to me and whispered, "I don't hug crazy people." I sighed.
"So," Mama said, "where's Danelle and Cyndi? Don't they want to come and see me?" Louis and I exchanged glances. "Um, Mama," I said, "Danelle and Cyndi are, well, dead. Don't you remember?" But she didn't hear a word I had said. "Maybe they'll come later," she answered.
That was all that Louis could take. "Don't you understand?!" she shrieked. "They're NEVER EVER coming back!!" Mama was taken by surprise and Louis stormed out of Mama's room. Mama started to cry.
