Curtains Close; Take a bow. I think we fooled all of them now.

Rain's POV

The woods had gotten darker, and I was far away from everyone else. I was trying to remember my way back, but it is harder said then done. I wanted to turn around in a second, walk straight back to the house and fall into Oli's arms. But on the other hand, I knew that my babies were out in the cold here, and I would do anything to get them back with me.

The air was getting colder, and more humid. I couldn't see the stars tonight, which meant there were clouds overhead. And that meant rain. And rain meant that my babies were going to get even colder, even quicker. They could freeze to death out here. And poor Sienna. It's dangerous out here for her. The ground was uneven, there was fallen branches and badger holes everywhere.

"Sienna..." I rolled my tongue over her name again and again. The pain was unreal. It felt as though somebody had taken two limbs from me. I didn't know what to do, or how to find them. I missed Hanleys hair, his voice and his eyes. I missed Siennas laugh and her unsteady presence. I missed it all, and I guess that's the best part of losing something you love. You never really understand how much you had until it's gone. And I guess it makes you more grateful.

I felt a drop of water fall onto my cheek. It was icy cold. My hands trembled and my throat was dry. The rain started. When you don't want rain, it looks heavier to you. You feel angry and upset towards every single drop of it. And noticing every single drop makes it feel so much heavier.

"Mommie is here. Come out." I whispered. They weren't coming back. No matter how many times I cried for them. No matter how hard my hands trembled or how dry my throat was. They weren't ever going to step back into my arms. And it was all my fault that they left.

My knees fell into the wet mud below me. I cried into my chest, curling over myself and screaming out. I slammed my fists into the puddles around me.

"Please... Come back... Come back..." I repeated, whimpering and holding my aching heart.

Nobody stepped out of the shadows. I was definitely alone. And being that way feels the worst. You feel shameful, as if its your own fault. Which it may have been.

I checked my watch. It was midnight. Taking one last look and giving up on myself, I dragged my aching, cold legs back to the edge of the forest. I retraced my steps and cried the whole way back. I'm a hopeless mother. I've driven my own children to run away in fear of me...

I looked around the house. Oliver was standing in the rain on the front steps, looking at me with tears in his eyes. He opened his arms to me and I collapsed into them, falling down onto the steps.

"I couldn't find them..." I cried out to him, helplessly.

He stroked my hair. "Let's wait for Anthony. Please don't give up... Rain..." He lifted me up by placing his warm hands over my pale cheeks and pulling me up to look him in the eye. "Rain... Look at me..." He starred at me. I couldn't help but give him the slightest smile. His eyes were deep and comforting. "It's going to be okay..."
