DD: Hi again. Chapter 4 is UP!! Yay, this one, again, is written a little differently. A LOT more dialogue on Ana and Phoenixes behalf.
So yea. Dranzer makes her grand appearance in this chapter, and more peoples leave. Not a major chapter, but I think it's alright and Ana and Phoenix, their little chat is important, and sweet. Anyway, here it is.
DISCLAIMER: Don't own, don't sue.

CHAPTER 4
Ana was terrified.
She was the oldest now. With Sebastian and Myra gone, the remaining children were her responsibility.
Ana was terrified that she would fail them.
&&&
Six months had past since Myra's demise.
&&&
Ana had walked steadily through the main door. Eyes wide and brilliant.
It would end tonight. She had little other choice.
Nothing mattered.
The twins would be better than her. They'd look after the little ones.
&&&
It was late when Ana packed her bags.
She headed for the backdoor, reaching slowly.
The tug at her shirt stopped her.
Crimson met crimson.
'Where are you going?'
She'd been caught by her youngest brother.
'Away from here.'
'Why?'
'Because I have to.'
'I don't understand.'
'That's alright.'
Phoenix didn't think she understood that much either.
'Would you like to come with me?'
'Yes…but I can't'
'Hmm, why not?'
'Because, Immogen and Doli and the twins. They need me still.'
'Oh.'
The pause had been awkward and uneasy. But that was expected.
'You're braver than me, little one. But please, don't let that kill you like it did Myra.'
'It won't'
'Oh?'
'No.'
'What makes you so certain?'
'People still need me.'
'And people didn't need Myra?'
'Yes they did. But she failed to see that.'
'Yea? Are you sure you're only seven? You act much older.'
'Sorry'
'Not your fault, blame Sergery.'
'orright.'
There was another pause, just as awkward as the last but for different reasons.
'Here, I got something for you.'
'hmm?'
'Yea, I found it the other day, near the road.'
Ana had been fidgety and finally pulled a small thing from her pocket.
'I named it Dranzer. It's a fiery bird. People call them Phoenixes.'
'It's pretty.'
'Yea. I was gonna keep it, but I think you deserve it more huh? I won't need it. Hey, for all we know it might be lucky! Wouldn't that be cool? It might protect you.'
Ana hadn't had any idea as to how right she was, as she, like her father and brother before her, left the farm too.
&&&
It had only been a couple of months before Dmitriy and Mardi struggled away from the farm as well.
They said that they left to find Ana and Sebastian, but they were scared too.
They'd be alright though.
And at least they'd said goodbye.
&&&
Well, there we have it. Ana and the twins are gone and Dranzer's there. Don't fret if you liked the 3 people that left cause they definitely will be back.
Oh and the next chappie will probably be an interlude.
Yah…So there. Please review so I know you want me to keep writing.
