Yes, chapter two is now up! I've finally found the time to write it!
As Jeremy looked deeper into the hole, a small questions appeared in his mind. " What were you two doing out here anyway? You knew it was cold and dangerous!" he scolded. Gothel frowned. " It was Pandora's idea to come out here and listen to the piano, and.." she was interrupted, " I don't care who's idea it was! If she asked, you should have told her no and kept it at that! Would you let your own child do this if you had one?". Gothel was tempted to smack him for his words, but she sighed. He was right, she should have just left it at no and accepted the silent treatment.
" You win, Jeremy. Just get Pandora out." she mumbled lowly. Jeremy jumped down into the hole and dug through the snow pile, looking for Pandora. Gothel waited anxiously above the hole, shivering at the cold wind. Jeremy suddenly stopped, and Gothel looked down at him. " What are you d-doing?" she chattered. Jeremy didn't respond, and Gothel saw the cloak of Pandora.
Jeremy lifted the body of Pandora, who was almost frozen. With his weather and her weak body, he wasn't surprised. She was still breathing, which was good. " I've found her." he said, looking back up at the relieved Gothel." Good." she replied, and send a rope down. He grabbed it, and within a few seconds he was out of the hole. He headed in, Gothel following.
As soon as Jeremy was inside, he slammed the door and lay Pandora on the couch. Gothel sighed down at the little girl, this was all her fault. Jeremy grabbed a cloak and placed it over Pandora, with a few blankets. He looked back at Gothel. " You better pray she's alright." he said to her sternly, before going upstairs. Gothel sat on the floor near Pandora, and felt her cold head. " You're going to pull through. I know you are." she whispered,
As hours passed, Pandora didn't get any better. Her body only grew colder, probably because of the impact of the snow earlier that day. Pandora's breathing also got shallow, and eventually she stopped breathing. Gothel knew she was dead, but she couldn't even cry. She was too shocked, upset. Her head ached furiously as she looked at her body. ' It's my fault…' Gothel thought guiltily, burying her face in a cloak. Her only escape from the death now was to sleep, if horrible nightmares didn't await.
When Jeremy found out about Pandora's death, he was ferociously scolding Gothel, and went home that night. " I just got her back, and now I've lost her. Forever." she told herself as she lay on the couch, clutching her aching head. The rest of the horrible night, her head felt like someone was slowly crushing it, and she stood still. She accepted the pain. She knew it wouldn't go away.
When the funeral came around, Gothel was blocked. To Jeremy, she had murdered the little girl. Gothel never knew it would end up this way. And when she was not welcomed into the funeral, it crushed her. She never got to say goodbye, and never would. She felt her heart thump as she pulled out a picture of Pandora. Her tears triggered without a thought, and one rested near Pandora's body. " Goodbye, little sister.." she whimpered, and put the picture away.
I thought this chapter was pretty sad, but it's got to happen for the story to be right. Read and review, the next chapter will be up soon.
