Sabrina sighed and shifted from side to side uncomfortably. Kelly, who was next to her giggled, but she didn't really understand her. She had been asleep for hours now.

Jill smiled. She had slept the moment she had closed her eyes. She didn't even meet her mother and sister who came some minutes after Sabrina got into the car. They had seen her asleep and kept quiet.

Kelly toyed with her sling and put it to Sabrina's forehead. She didn't react. Jill laughed and her mom gave her a warning look through the rear view mirror.

''Don't fool around with the poor girl. She's been through a lot.'' she said with a low voice.

''We've been through a lot too mom!'' Jill protested and then burst into laughter.

Mrs Munroe shrugged and smiled. She stopped the engine and opened her door, glancing shortly at her younger daughter who seemed to be sleeping. Jill gave her a push and before she could stop her, Kris screamed as she woke up.

Sabrina did the same, terrified, shortly afterwards with the fabric on her face. She took it off and shot a dirty look at Kelly.

''I'm going to kill you for this.'' she said half smiling and half trying to remain serious.

Then she understood they were at their destination. She got out abruptly and turned at Jill's mother.

''I'm really sorry... I really don't know what to say Mrs Munroe... I don't usually sleep like this... I...'' she stared at her feet.

''Call me Mary, honey. It's no big thing. I would do the same if I didn't have to drive,"

''Still... I... I'm sorry...''

''All forgotten. Have you got any luggage in the trunk?''

''No ma'am. That's all.''

She grabbed her backpack and glanced at the dirt road they had parked. The Munroe house was a beautiful one, with pretty hand-painted shutters and walls at the shade of light blue. It really seemed better than anything she had seen. She smiled and turned to Jill, who was currently having an intense conversation with her younger sister.

It was the first time Sabrina had seen them and she was surprised by the similarity. In front of her was a girl around the age of fifteen with something really brushy about her. She really looked like her sister.

Kris then turned towards her. Sabrina froze awkwardly and forced out a smile.

''What are you smiling for?'' she asked sharply and turned her back, pacing to the house.

Kelly made some sounds behind her.

''Sabrina, you're already making new friends!''

''Oh, shut up. I'm still gonna take revenge for that, beware.''

''Whatever.''

She tried to take her crutches from the cars floor but missed a step and managed to find herself on her knees, which was, particularly for the one knee, painful enough to make her cheeks blush from embarrassment.

Jill helped her to her feet, much to her resentment.

''Are you okay? Shouldn't you be taking some medicine, or stuff like that?''

''Yeah... I will. I'm fine. Sorry.''

She limped to the inside. Kelly followed carrying a heavy looking suitcase.

As she had thought seeing it from the outside, it really was a beautiful place to call home. The colorful garden was amazing. Kelly sighed, trying to balance the suitcase in her hands.

Sabrina followed her inside with a faint smile. Jill laughed with her sister for some reason and they disappeared into a room leaving Sabrina and Kelly alone.

Mary got in last. She smiled at them and got in the kitchen.

''Can I make you an early breakfast?'' she said, poking her head out of the door.

Sabrina shook her head.

''No, no. I'm fine.''

''Kelly?''

''Yeah, me too. Just wanna get some sleep. Can you show us our beds?''

Mary pointed her hand upstairs.

''There is one room up there and a spare bed in Kris' room. Suit yourselves. If you need anything tell me. There are clean sheets and pillows on both of them.''

''Thank you.'' they said in union and stood still as she left again.

Kelly looked around.

''So? Where do you wanna sleep?''

''You take Kris'. She isn't that fond of me.''

''Well, neither me. You take her.''

''Come on Kelly... please?''

''Nope.''

''Would it help if I say I am shot and in terrible pain?'' she said with hope.

''I have a dislocated shoulder.''

''Please...?''

''Odds and evens?''

''Heads and tails.'' Sabrina demanded.

''Got a coin?''

Sabrina looked at her feet.

''A coin?'' Kelly repeated impatiently.

''No coin.''

''At all?''

''No nothing.''

''Oh... that bad huh?''

''I lost everything in the crash.''

''I'm sorry...'' she muttered and flipped a coin she took from her pocket.

She covered it with her palm.

''Tails, I get Kris. Heads, and she's your problem.''

''Kay...''

She slowly took her hand and Sabrina stretched her body to take a peek.

''Heads!'' Kelly yelled and started dancing mockingly across the hall.

Sabrina groaned and dragged her feet to the room they saw Kris go. She knocked. Jill opened the door and smiled.

''Hi. Sorry for leaving. Need something?''

''Your mom says I take the bed here. Or isn't that Kris' room?''

''It is alright. Come in.''

Sabrina walked in half-hearted. Kris shrugged and looked at her, examining her like she had some kind of deathly disease. Jill pointed at a bed and she sat.

The room was small, but nicely decorated with warm colors and pretty furniture. Sabrina laid her luggage on the floor and stood still uncomfortably.

Jill shot her a smile and left.

She glanced at her watch. 4 am. She sighed and took one of the blankets. She took off her shoes and lay without a word.

''So, I'm stuck with you.'' said Kris after a while.

Sabrina looked her in the eye and smiled.

''Watch out. It's full moon tonight.''

Then she turned her back to Kris and slept like the dead for almost an hour.

Kelly that night didn't have as much luck. She hadn't slept during the journey but she still couldn't force her eyes shut.

The room she was in was small, too, almost bare, except from her bed and a closet.

Jill was on the room next to her and she occasionally heard her knock the wall. She knocked in response and heard her laugh. Now she was asleep too. She was left alone. After a while she drifted into sleep and woke up a moment later full of sweat but not able to remember what woke her.

She got up and dressed, finally deciding that trying was of no use. She got downstairs and walked to the garden. She wasn't surprised to find there was someone else outside as well. She was standing at the porch and staring at the garden.

''Insomnia, Bri?''

''Huh?''

Sabrina turned, startled, but her expression changed into a smile that didn't quite reach her eyes as she saw her. She kept staring up ahead in the distance.

''Uh, yeah. You?''

''Me too.''

''Well, I did sleep like the dead for hours, so I'm pretty much done for tonight. What's keeping you awake?''

''Dunno.''

''Still having nightmares?''

''Can't remember. How 'bout you?''

She shrugged .''It's been a long time since I had any dream.''

''Lucky you.''

''Lucky me," she said.

''What's wrong with you?''

''Nothin'. Why?''

She stared into the depth of Sabrina's gaze and finally found the reason. That emotion she kept well hidden from everyone all day long. She wasn't fast enough to pull her shield again and Kelly finally managed to see it. That untold sadness and pain. Then she looked again and it was gone. It was just replaced with a solid expression, showing no emotion at all.

Kelly tried to say something but it didn't come out.

''I'm going to sleep.'' she said suddenly changing her mind and left her alone.

Sabrina shrugged again and waited for a new day to arise.

Action on the way, I promise. Just review, will ya?
