Journal #10: Sudden Fiction ( The Silenced Night) 1st Draft

She awoke in the middle of the night to find her sister packing her clothes. The window was opened in the room and the smell of iron filled her nostrils, the room was cold, and only the moon lit the room. She observed quietly as her sister shoved clothes into a duffle bag. Her sister May seemed to be very scare, her hands shook frantically as she place things into her bag. May was done with her clothing then she grabbed her phone and iPod. May then put on her coat and zipped it up to the top. May was 17 and she had it all in-front of her and she knew she had screwed up. Maine, the youngest, sat up after waiting patiently.
"May what are you doing?" Asked Maine rubbing her eyes and sitting up on her bed. At that moment the curtain blew into the room masking both their faces.

"Maine, go back to sleep," May said her voice cracking. She knew her sister was only 10 but, she had to deal with it. Was she a bad sister for trying to leave Maine behind? Maine noticed there was blood all over her sister's hand and a little bit on her face.

"Why are you bleeding?" Maine asked.

"I had a little bit of an accident" she answered quickly.

"Are you okay? should I ask mom to you a band-aid?"

"No, just lay back down"

"Where are you going?"

May knew that she should have lied but leaving her sister behind would have been wrong. She walked towards Maine's bed and kneel down.

" You have to promise that if I take you with me you will listen and do as I say, understood?" at first Maine was a little hesitant about this request.

"Why are we leaving?" Maine asked.

"You can't ask me that you have to pack your things and I'll explain later, okay?"

Maine nodded her head because she knew how things were in her house and that her sister wouldn't do anything to hurt her. She sat up and started to pack her stuff.

"stay here i'll go get food from the kitchen." 

Mary went through the door, she could see lights flickering from under the door. After she was done packing May returned with a book bag filled with food.

"We have to leave now" She said

Maine grabbed her stuff, put on her shoes and her hoodie.

"Is mom okay?" Maine asked taking hold of her sister's hand.

"No but she's in a better place, and Bill wont be hurting you or me again."

The two girls jumped out of their bedroom window and walked into the woods; not once did they look back.
