Hey everyone, it's about that time to update again! Okay so like I said before, this Chapter will be written differently. It will be based on a different character other than Danny. You will see their past and where they are currently. I hope you enjoy.
BTW It might be a little long but that's not a problem! =]
"She's so precious look at her!"
"Yes, but her sister. She is…"
"So much more different than her"
The two baby girls stared up at their parents. One had black curly hair with big beautiful blue eyes. The other had straight blond hair with dark brown eyes. The two new parents exchanged glances.
"Are you sure she's ours?" The father whispered to the nurse. The mother shot him a look.
"Of course she is…" she answered looking at them once more. Sure she had noticed that the baby looked nothing like her or her husband since they both shared the black hair and blue eyed look. Even the nurses were confused when she had showed up.
"What should we name them?" The father asked his wife.
"The one with black hair will be named Lila and the one with blond hair will be named Leena" The mother answered. Lila and Leena both giggled in response to their new names.
…...
…
Somewhere located in a sunny town, the two sisters (now about 8 years older) were playing at a school yard.
"Come on Leena kick the ball!" Shouted a small boy. They were playing dodge ball and Leena was up to kick.
"I'm trying…" She muttered and prepared to kick the ball again.
She could see her sister standing on third base, ready to come home. She had a worried expression on her face. The game was tied 4-4. If Lila could make it home, then they would win the game. All Leena had to do was not get an out.
Why did it have to be my turn next? Leena asked in her head.
The pitcher rolled the ball and it slowly made its way towards her. She took one last breath and kicked the ball with all her might. It soared threw the air and all the kids watched it with their mouths wide open. Leena stood frozen also watching it. Just as quick as it happened, the player from the other team easily caught it.
"That's an out. We win!" Shouted a small girl from the other team.
Leena watched as they rejoiced and turned to see her team giving hateful looks. She then saw her sister looking disappointed.
"Way to go loser-ena!" A little boy taunted.
"Of course we wouldn't have won with her kicking the ball!" A girl complained.
"We should have known…she will never be as good as her sister!" A boy said shaking his head.
"Why don't you go back to your real home were you actually belong?" Another girl said quietly but Leena heard her. She heard all he insults but that one hurt her the most.
"Take that back!" Leena said to the girl.
"No! I will not!" she said snorting.
"Take it back, now!" Leena threatened with her fists balled.
"Make me!" the small girl challenged. Leena was filled with rage and she lunged at the girl, knocking her down to the ground.
"Leena, no stop!" Lila cried but it was no use. Leena punched the girl several times in her face before a teacher pulled them apart.
"Leena! What is wrong with you!?" the teacher asked her. Leena was breathing hard and she faced the ground ashamed of what she'd done.
….
…
"You know fighting in school is prohibited. I'm sorry Leena but I'm going to have to suspend you for a week." The principle said to her a couple minutes later. Leena sat quietly looking at her feet wishing she could disappear right now. Her parents looked at her with angry looks. Lila looked at her with disappointment.
"And that means no tv, games or playing outside!" Her dad said sternly once they were back at their home. "You understand me?" he asked Leena.
"Yes…" she said sadly.
And with that he left her alone in her quiet, dark bedroom. Leena laid on her bed with tears already running down her cheeks.
Why do I always do things wrong? She asked herself, still crying. Then her mind drifted back to the dodge ball game.
"Why don't you go back to your real home where you actually belong!" the girl had said quietly but Leena heard her. It's true she had started to notice the difference between her and her family. They all had black curly hair with blue eyes. She had straight blond hair and dark brown eyes. They were all athletic and so skilled, but she was clumsy and very bad in sports.
Everyone loved her sister. Why not? She was beautiful, smart and caring…But her? She was different than others. Other girls would be outside playing with dolls but she's be inside reading on of the many books she had. While all the girls were wearing glitter lip gloss and hair barrettes, she wore big boots and fake blue streaks in her hair.
Her sister Lila was the best dancer in the whole fourth grade but Leena danced as if she had two left feet. Lila seemed as if she could do anything better than Leena. Anything the teachers gave her, she could do. Rollerblading, soccer, she did it. She made it seem so easy. But Leena made up for it by the love for music. She loved the way music could bring out the personality people rarely saw, or thought she had, in her.
She was also really good at playing the guitar. She even made a few songs. A light rattle of thunder woke Leena up from her daydreams. She shifted to her side and saw the family photo they took last year at the theme park. Her mother, father and Lila all seemed to hug around each other, smiling happily. While Leena seemed to be pushed to the side and was only half smiling.
Do they even care about me? Leena thought sadly. Her parents rarely smiled and laughed with her like they did with Lila. And Lila seemed to always give her disappointed looks. Leena remembered the time in second grade when she had been working on an art project. It took her weeks to make and she was finally done. She couldn't wait to show her parents. It was a macaroni sculpture of her family going on the camping trip she desperately wanted to go to.
Before she got to show them, Lila got there first and showed them hers. It was a macaroni sculpture of them going camping but it had actual camping equipment, stickers, and decorations. Her parents were so thrilled that they decided to go. But Leena had to stay home and clean up the "macaroni mess" she had made. She was picking up a macaroni person that had fell off of Lila's project just as she saw her parents car drive off. She looked at the person and saw that it was her.
It started to rain harder and Leena noticed that it had gotten a little late. Felling hungry, she quietly tip-toed her way down the staircase. She stopped at the bottom and peeked her head around the corner to see her family eating dinner and enjoying themselves. Leena watched as they laughed and sung together. Completely forgetting the fact that they had another daughter upstairs.
Leena felt her eyes water again and she silently walked away. She went back into her room. "Fine. If they don't care then…" She said not finishing her sentence. A few minutes later she had packed her stuff including clothes, some photos, books and her guitar. Leena slowly tip-toed her way again down the stairs. She walked to her front door and opened it. The cold, moist air rushed past her and she felt that she was not alone.
"Where are you going?" Lila asked her.
Leena didn't turn around. Instead she faced the doorway. "I'm running away. I don't want to be here anymore. It's like you care anyway." Leena said coldly.
Lila didn't respond. Leena turned to look at her but she couldn't read her expression. Her blue yes looked at her browns ones then looked away. "I think it's best if you did…" Lila said.
Leena was surprised by her response. She pulled her hood over her blond hair and walked outside into the cold rain. She looked back one more time and expected Lila to stop her but she looked back with a still unreadable expression. Leena felt the salty tears mix with the rain on her cheeks. They really don't care about me! I can't believe I thought they did! She cried in her head as she walked across the street.
Leena was too wrapped up in her thoughts to hear the honking truck speeding at her. Her watery eyes looked up too late and all she saw was white. Leena woke up to see green matter floating above all around her. She sat up and rubbed her head. She suddenly felt so different. She was on top of a rocky floor that seemed to be weightless. Leena looked around to see ghosts flying around her. They were everywhere.
She screamed and covered her eyes. She took her hands off her eyes when she saw that she was falling off of the rock. She screamed again and closed her eyes, fearing she was going to hit the surface below her. Except she realized that she wasn't falling. She was floating!
"W-What's going on!?" Leena cried. She floated (Well tried to) over to a floating door and looked at her reflection. She was glowing a ghostly glow. "What happened to me?" she asked quietly looking at the palms of her hands. Then it hit her. The white light, the ghost flying around, and her ghostly glow. She was dead.
…. ….. … ….
Leena woke up to the sound of bees buzzing in her face. "Where am I…?" the teenager asked aloud. She saw that she was in the middle of a field somewhere at a school. She sat up and the memories of the Valentines dance flooded through her brain. "Where is the watch?" Leena said looking around quickly. "Madeline…" she said quietly. "Stella…Orasan?" she called a little quieter. "Ember?" she said and figured no was around.
Leena decided to walk around and figure out where she had landed. Her dark brown eyes scanned the field and saw that it looked too familiar. She walked down a sidewalk that led into a neighborhood. She looked at the different houses and suddenly saw one that stood out instantly. The house she would never forget. It was the home she lived in ever since she was eight years old.
Leena felt the different memories she had encountered make its way into her thoughts. From the time she first came inside to the last sight of her sister standing in the doorway. She made sure no one was looking and flew inside while invisible. She came back into view when she took a step on the wooden floor. She looked around and saw the purple walls that use to stretch over her, now at eye level.
She noticed the paint chipping as she walked up the creaky steps to her old room. She looked inside and saw that it was in the same condition as when she left it. On the night she had…died. Leena shuddered even though she was a ghost. Everything inside was dusty. She saw the small amount of toys she used to play with scattered on the ground.
She left the room and went to her sister's. She saw numerous pictures, trophies, prom crowns and other things littering her shelves. She saw a prom picture of Lila propped up on her desk. Her black hair was straight, running down her back. She wore red lipstick and eye shadow that made her eyes sparkle. Her matching blue dress made her look gorgeous. Leena felt jealous but it was a normal feeling for her.
She walked out of Lila's room and into her parent's room. They also had pictures covering their walls. All of them with Lila in it. She wasn't in any of them. Leena flew quickly down the stairs with tears falling down her cheeks. I'm glad I left this place…It was never meant for me anyway! She said in her head before phasing completely out of the house and up into the sky.
Aww, that was an emotional chapter. Sorry about that. I'll try to make the next one not too sad. But anyway did you like it? Review! See ya next time, pce! =]
