Chapter 4

" Soon after the two boys were dryly clothed, the Tucks and the cousins sat and at pancakes for dinner. Winnie and Leigh Anne we're not used to sitting eating pancakes for dinner instead of a fresh roast beef and with mash-potatoes. "So. When are you going to the Fosters that we never die?" asked Miles. Mae dropped her fork and it clattered onto the plate. Tuck looked up at Miles with agitation. Jesse looked shocked. Meanwhile, the two cousins were very confused on what Miles was saying. "What do you mean Miles?" Leigh Anne asked. "Winnie. Can I talk to you outside?" asked Jesse. "Sure Jesse." said Winnie , smiling at me. "You better protect her Jesse, or your ass is mine." said Leah Anne. Mae looked at Leigh Anne. "Leigh Anne!" cried Winnie. "Oh. I'm so sorry. I'm so use to cursing." Leigh Anne said, innocently. "Miles. Why don't you explain it yourself to Leigh Anne. Since, you brought it up." said Tuck, eyeing his son, unhappy. "Please. Call me Leah. It's what I'm used to." said Leigh Anne. "Leah. That's a very weird name for one." said Mae picking up plates. "Yes. My- my mother gave me the name. It was hers to call me." said Leigh Anne, stuttering. Don't you DARE cry again. she thought. "Leigh Anne. Can I speak to you in the living room. Now?" asked Miles. She nodded.

***Tuck Everlasting***

Leigh Anne followed Miles to the living room, which consisted of one small love seat and a small couch. "So. What is it Miles?" asked Leigh Anne. "When I was about 22, my family and I were looking for land to live on. We were traveling through a forest, looking for a place to stay and were very thirsty. We had stumbled onto a spring. We were so thirsty, we were almost close to fainting. Ma and Jesse fainted twice from heat." began Miles. "So. You trespassed onto my uncle's property?" asked Leigh Anne. "That's the thing. It was over a century ago that happened. Jesse was 17 when that happened. He still looks and is 17. He's 104. And so is Ma and Pa." said Miles. All Leigh Anne could do was laugh. "So in 1845, you guys became immortal?" asked Leigh Anne. Miles looked serious at her. "You're not lying are you?" asked Leigh Anne. "Nope." he replied. "What happened to you then? You have a ring on your finger." asked Leigh Anne. "Well, we didn't realize in till Jesse fell off a tree, that would have caused him death." he said. "But didn't." said Leigh Anne. He nodded. "Then Ginger, the horse, got shot. By the way. The only thing that didn't drink from the spring was our cat, Whiskers. And then Ma burned herself. Then Pa wanted to try and shoot himself." said Miles, counting his fingers. "Hold it." said Leigh Anne. "Tuck tried to kill himself?!" asked Leigh Anne. He nodded. Leigh Anne took a deep breath. "Then after Jesse fell off a tree, I got married. We figured by then, he was protected by a guardian angel. But there's a sad ending to my love life." said Miles. "My wife, Jill Karts, left with my kids Anna and Beu." said Miles. Leigh Anne felt bad for mentioning about is wife. She suddenly had a moment where a good idea came in. "Wait. Karts? As in Melissa and Vektor Karts?" asked Leigh Anne. "Yes. How did you know?" asked Miles, confused. She sighed. "I guess, in order to explain this, I have to explain how my parents died." said Leigh Anne. "Wait. Your parents died?" asked Miles. "Yes. When I was 19, we were going to Chicago for a wedding. My moms sister. Gracie Leslie. Her and her husband died later that month. But anyway. I was the 3rd child of the Gracent- Foster family. I was one out of 6. My youngest siblings were twins. Charles Foster, Katherine Karts, me, Andrew Foster, Michalya, and Joseph. My sister had gotten married to Gregory Karts, a 3rd cousin of Melissa and Vektor. I was 18 then. Anyway, it had begun raining. Bad. We were trenching through muddy dirt roads. Just to get to my mom's sister's wedding. A tree had fallen down; my-my fam-family's carriage. The tr-tree scared the horses. O-on the side of the road was a river. Th-the horses went towards the river. I-it crashed on the side of the cliff. Ne-near the river. Half of the carriage was in and the other half was out. G-glass was everywhere..." said Leigh Anne. Her whole entire body was trembling. Miles moved next to her. "Th-the twins were only 6. I was the first to be awake. Micha woke next. She was stabbed by a tree when we went t-to the s-ide of the cliff. Blood everywhere. She said to me 'Are we going to Heaven, Leigh?' and I told her to say hi to Grandpa Luke. She said she saw him. Joseph woke next. He said ' We are going to Heaven aren't we Leigh.' I nodded to both of them. Andrew asked to see me. I crawled gently next to him.. He asked to take of his science project to invent things that fly things in the air. I laughed. I did keep it with me. The science thing. Although, Mrs. Foster took it and hid it. Katherine said to me to take care of her husband and her new born child. I promised. Charles was by a door and had left me. I wanted to kill him for that. My mother grabbed my hand, papa was already died trying to keep us safe. My mother said to me 'Watch over my niece from my God awful sister-in law. Protect Winnie and George. Please, Leah. I'm going to leave you with the responiblity to take care of the family. Make sure you find Charles.' and then she died. I tried finding Charles, but he was gone. So was my family. I had nightmares for days. Winifred never knew anything. If Mrs. Foster found me trying to talk to her about it, she'd slap me. Right there." said Leigh Anne now crying. "What happened to Mr. Karts and his child?" Miles asked. "Lillian and Gregory still are alive. I haven't seen my niece in about 2 years." said Leigh Anne. "Comn on. I wanna take somewhere. It will cheer you up." said Miles, smiling. Leigh Anne nodded and took Miles open hand.

***Tuck Everlasting***

"See Winnie, it's poisoned. I'm just dry as dust. That's all." said Jesse. Winnie and Jesse had token a walk through a field and to the spring that Winnie had seen Jesse drink out of earlier. "Okay." said Winnie. She didn't care anymore. Leigh Anne would've done more, but Winnie had now formed a feeling she'd never felt before for Jesse. A tingly feeling in her heart. She felt so light headed around Jesse. So light headed, that she could use only simple words. They had begun walking back to the Tuck's small house when Jesse asked, "So. What happened to your cousin?" "I don't know. I only know, is that when she was 19, she's 20 now, her parents and siblings had died in a river." said Winnie. "Wow. Who know this could happen?" asked Jesse, pointing to the lake where Miles and Jesse were swimming in at earlier. Now, there was a boat with two figures. "Is that Miles and Leigh?" asked Winnie in shock. Her cousin wouldn't be caught dead in the middle of a lake with a boy. "Oh no. She has a fear of boats and water!" cried Winnie. "Then why is she out on the lake with Miles?" asked Jesse. "I don't know Jesse!" cried Winnie. Winnie, braver than ever, ran out near the water, Jesse chasing after her. "Leigh Anne! What are you doing with my cousin in the lake?! Don't you know she has a fear of water?! Why is she crying?" yelled Winnie. "Winnie. I'm alright. I told Miles something personal that's all." said Leigh Anne, calmly. "What? Something you can't tell me?!" screamed Winnie. "No. Your mother slapped me each and every time. When your mother tells you, is when she and I will tell you." said Leigh Anne, still calm, but more forceful. "If I'm on my death bed, will you tell me?" asked Winnie. "Yes. If I'm still alive." said Leigh Anne confused. Winnie then started running towards the spring. If Jesse said it was poison, it would kill. "Winnie? Winnie!" yelled Jesse. Leigh Anne following with Miles. Miles went to get the horses. He grabbed the two bareback. Then, helped Leigh Anne on. "HEUH!" she said. And the horse flew off. "Horse thief..." he murmured. Leigh Anne caught up with Jesse, who was running fast. "Did you tell her?" she asked. He shook his head. "Oh Hell!" she said. They got to the spring in record time for a horse. And a boy to run. It was too late. Winnie had token a sip. Leigh Anne started crying. "Your mother's going to hang me. Make me starve." said Leigh Anne, crying. For the first time in 2 years, Leigh Anne finally worried about herself. "Why. I don't feel different.' Winnie said. Jesse closed his eyes. Miles looked at his brother with anger. "You son of a bitch! you didn't tell Winnie! Yet I told Leigh Anne." yelled Miles. "What difference what it make? My cousin is going to be 15 forever!" yelled Leigh Anne. That was the last straw for her. She hopped onto the horse. And road off to the lake. If my parents and Kathirne, Andrew, Joseph, and Micha die of drowning and being scratched, then so help me, me too. she thought.

So I practically CRIED writing this chapter. I hated typing those words about Leigh Anne's Parent's death. (Sooo Sorry..) :...(

Kay. Just wanted you to know that. Oh and excuse the language... It seemed like the TIME WHAT?
