Chapter Four: A Never Ending Scream
After the exhausting day in Diagon Alley and after dropping Tom back off in the Leaky Cauldron, Lily Rose and Their mother were finally on the train back to their home in Fieldcrest.
"Oh... that was the coolest day. Lilse pinch me. Make sure I'm awake." Lily laughed but pinched her sister.
"Ow! What'd you do that for?"
"You told me to!" "That doesn't mean you actually have to" Rose joked "Well. Whatever." Lily sighed and rested her head on the seat.
"So you girls enjoyed yourselves today?" Their mother asked.
"I did." Lily said "I was great." Rose said. "That was the most amazing day of my life. I've seen everything now I'm sure. I can die right now and I'll be content." She said dramatically and giggled a bit. Lily joined in.
"If only Petunia weren't so upset." Lily said sadly. "Oh she'll get over. I think the owl just frightened her." Lily's mother said cheering her up.
"Yeah. I guess."
The girls soon got to the house and went in. "Dad! We're home!" Lily yelled as she got in carrying two bags full of books. "Lily! Rose! I take it you found the place." He said eying the bags.
"Yeah oh my gosh it was amazing. I wish you and Petunia could have been there!" Rose said "That sounds like a day to remember." He said kissing his wife as she walked in the door.
"It really was amazing. It was an entire hidden village. There were the strangest creatures there."
"Yeah and there was this dorky kid that lead us around the place." Lily said.
"He wasn't dorky Lily! He was very polite." Her mother said.
"He was polite yeah, and as nice as anything but that doesn't change that he was a little dorky."
Rose laughed in agreement.
"Well..." Her mother said but didn't go on, so she obviously agreed with them at least a little.
"So how was your freak town?" Came a disdainful little voice from the stairs. They all looked up to see Petunia coming down for the first time in three days.
"Petunia that isn't fair of you to-" Lily's father started but Lily cut in.
"How could you say that? How could you call me a freak? I thought we were friends?"
"That was before I realized you were a- a- Witch. Only freaks do magic. They're different. You're not normal Lily." Lily felt like she had been slapped in the face. Just Four days ago her and Petunia had been hugging each other because they had won at kickball and now she absolutely hated her. Tears started rolling down her cheeks "Petunia take that back right now!" Their mother said.
"No! She isn't normal! I don't know why you can't see that!" Petunia shrieked.
"Stop!" Rose shouted covering her ears and scrunching her eyes shut.
"Petunia Why are you being so mean?" Lily yelled at her.
"Your a freak. They used to burn witches. They should burn you!" Petunia yelled back "Stop fighting!" Rose whispered through sobs but everyone was to surprised at Petunia to hear her. Petunia had leaped on Lily and was slapping her and hitting her with all the stealth a nine year old could find inside themselves. Lily tried to defend herself but Petunia was full of rage and no one can save them self from rage. Their parents were trying to tear them apart with out much luck. Lily was screaming get off or just simply screaming at the top of her lungs while Petunia was yelling how much she hated Lily. Rose was whispering to her self for them to stop. She had her eyes wide and her ears covered with her hands and she was shaking so hard she was having trouble standing.
When Their parents finally were able to tear them apart Petunia was still trying to get at Lily and Lily was sobbing and clutching her arm which was torn up from Petunia's nails while she was at the same time trying to make her nose stop bleeding. Over and over Lily was muttering "I'm sorry, I'm sorry Tunia. I'm sorry" She was saying this through sobs while Petunia was screaming,
"I hate you! You're dead! I never want to see you again!"
While Her father was making sure Petunia was far away from Lily he looked around and said,
"Rose? Rose hunny! Where's Rose?"
Their mother looked around too then called,
"Rose?! Rose hunny where are you?"
Petunia stared at Lily and said, "She probably finally realized how evil you were Lily. She was probably to scared to stay."
"STOP IT!" Lily yelled at her. "Rose isn't here! We have to look for her."
"Maybe you should stay here though she isn't going to want YOU to find her."
"PETUNIA! STOP THIS NOW! Go look for your sister. Lily you come in the bathroom and wash up." Lily's mother brought Lily in to the bathroom and she heard Petunia leave through the back door while her father went up the stairs. Her mother began running cold water over the marks on Lily's arm and putting a tissue under her nose to wipe up the blood. Lily heard her father come down stairs and exit through the front. Her nose stopped bleeding and her mother got her an ice pack to keep on her arm. "I'm going to look around down here. Maybe she's hiding under a table or something." Lily said still crying.
"OK" Her mother hugged her then began looking too. Lily was looking in the bigger cabinets in the kitchen when she heard the most awful scream she had and ever would hear. Her head shot up immediately and she darted out the door going towards the scream she recognized as Petunia's, She raced along the path in their back yard praying,
"Please let Petunia be okay." She whispered to herself. When she saw Petunia she was just standing wide eyed and screaming. Nothing appeared wrong but when Lily got closer she stopped dead, her eyes widening and face paling. Her mouth opened to scream too but no sound came out. They were at the location of their tree house but unlike the normal sight of a rope latter against a tree, the saw the latter, large metal bolts and all, crumpled on the ground with their beloved sister, Rose lying dead underneath it.
