Chapter 5

Winnie had never been so scared in her life. There had been two times in her life she was physically and mentally scared. Her first one was meeting Leigh Anne after her parents death. It had been forever since the girls had met up. So, Winnie didn't know what to expect. She met a just as scared Leigh Anne. One who still screamed in her sleep or had a nightmare about her parents. The other was when she was 6 and her mother thought it would be a good idea for Winnie to ride off alone, near a creek. That's how her fear of drowning came to life. What happened was her father had come to rescue her when he saw her down stream floating, her horse helplessly sitting there. When they got home, Winnie's father slapped his wife for trying to hurt his child's life. They had an argument that night and Rachel and Emily, Winnie's nanny and wet nurse, put her to sleep saying that everything was fine and they were going to protect her. But, sooner rather than later, Rachel was fired for a un-lady like thing, and she married, putting Winnie as her flower girl at the age of 10. And later on, Emily was also fired for not being married. Her parents made her quit. Soon after she met her husband and Winnie was once again the flower girl at age 11. But this moment. This moment in her life. This moment. The moment when Leigh Anne mentioning when she was 19 about hurting herself. This. This was a thing Winnie had to prevent. Just because of some stupid water. Winnie thought. "Winnie! What's going on?" asked Jesse. "Please. Leave." said Winnie simply. They had now gotten to the pond and Leigh Anne was lying on her back. Saying something. As Winnie got closer, she heard what Leigh Anne was saying. "Please. Momma and Papa. Please. It should have been me to die, not Andrew or Micha, or even Joseph. Charlie should have stayed. He should have." she said. "Leigh Anne. I'm sorry." said Winnie, nerovously. She had no idea what to do! She was in panick mode. "No. It's not your fault Winnie. I love you. Make sure Jesse and the Tucks take care of you." she said before dunking herself underwater. "NO!" cried Winnie.

***Tuck Everlasting***

Mae was cleaning the dishes from dinner while both Fosters and Tuck brothers were out. "You know Mae. It was true what I said. It's just, Miles has no clue that some of those Gracents went a little crazy. Suicide. Or death mentally." said Tuck. "Tuck. What do you mean?" asked Mae. "You saw how Leah froze up and started crying?" asked Tuck. "Yes. Of course.. The poor child." Mae said. "Mae. Her father hated himself. He killed himself, with all his kids inside. Andrew, Katherine, Charles, Joseph and Michalya. He didn't technically kill Charles and Katherine. Even, though, Katherine took Micha and Joseph. And Charles and Leah got out." said Tuck. There suddenly was a yell of "NO!". "Why, that sounded like Winnie!" cried Mae. The two Tucks raced out to see Winnie and Leigh Anne in the pond. Leigh Anne was dunking her body underwater and poor, sweet Winnie was standing there afraid. "Leigh Anne!" yelled Miles. Jesse had caught his brother, but Miles shrugged him off. Miles eyed at his father and mother. Both got the signal. Get Winnie away from Leigh Anne. And out of the pond. Jesse followed his brother in. Both swam towards the girls, while Tuck started towards the water to grab Leigh Anne and Mae went to get towels and then followed her husband. Trying to calm Winnie and trying to convince Leigh Anne to stay above waster was harder than you think. Leigh Anne was determined. Finally, Jesse and Mae carried Winnie back to the shore, crying, when Winnie had given up to struggle. Jesse stayed on shore, while Mae went back in. "Leigh Anne, dear. Please stop." said Mae gently. Suddenly, Leigh Anne stopped struggling. "Get her to shore!" yelled Miles at his own father and mother. They got her to shore, Winnie still to tired to struggle grabbed hold of her cousins hand. Her hand was squeezed. Winnie sighed. "Leigh Anne?" asked Tuck. "Can you hear us Leigh Anne?" asked Mae. Leigh Anne went to her side and vomited. She coughed after. All Tucks breathed a sigh of relief. "Come on dear. Let's get you inside." said Mae.

*** Tuck Everlasting***

Miles and his father stared off as Winnie, Jesse, Mae and Leigh Anne hobbled inside. "Dad. Why did Leigh Anne do that?" asked Miles. " Miles. Leigh Anne may not know this. If she told you, her family died in a crash." said Tuck, gently. "Yes. She explained that." said Miles. "Well. Did she tell you that her father was delusional?" asked Tuck. "Dad! Where in the world did you get that idea?!" cried Miles. "Miles. Leigh Anne is most likely not mentally sick. Nor is her still alive siblings." said Tuck. "What? Her family is still alive?" asked Miles. "Charles ran through those woods to get away. Leigh Anne might not have survived if it weren't for Charles or Katherine." said Tuck. "Charles and Katherine were her oldest siblings, right?" asked Miles. Tuck nodded. "Katherine took the youngest siblings and Charles took Leigh Anne. She was muttering something about Heaven." said Tuck, thoughtfully. "Wait. You saw them?" asked Miles. He nodded. "Your mother and I needed some supplies to prepare for a big storm, if one ever came, and I told Mae to go ahead and I lagged behind with ole' Ginger. So she went ahead, when I saw a young man bleeding near a rock. He and a woman about 22 and looked as though she had been pregnant before. I rushed home and grabbed Mae and a few medicines and we took all of them here. Into the barn. For the night of course." said Tuck. "Why were you near Chicago?" asked Miles. "They were visiting Mr. and Mrs. Foster. At an out dinner. To talk about Leigh Anne's future." said Tuck. "Charles told us. Katherine too. We believed them. They kept the secret of us and we fed them to good health and they said they were to split up around. Try to find a cure or raise a family. Get married. Katherine took the younger children and Charles had agreed to take Leigh Anne, but Mr. Foster had claimed her from Leigh Anne's father's will." said Tuck. "So, she thinks her brother left her and her siblings and parents died. Why?" asked Miles. "Mrs. Foster, according to Katherine, is a witch to everyone in her family. She hates Winnie and Leigh Anne now, but hated Katherine and Elizabeth's beauty. She just wants beauty for herself. Mrs. Foster probably stuck that in Leigh Anne's head." said Tuck. Miles nodded in agreement. The two started walking into the Tuck house to go check on their family. "How is Leigh Anne going to except this. This is so much to put onto her." Miles thought.
