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

Rain's POV

I could feel his cold eyes on my bare back. We were both wet, curdled over our stomachs . Rain was pouring down over us and I shielded my eyes. I wasn't sure if I was crying or if it was the droplets of rain running down my cheeks. I pushed my wet hair straight back. Rubbing the mascara out of my eyes, I looked back at Oliver.

His arms were trembling slightly in the cold. He rested his strong jaw bone into the palm of his hand. Even though I was obviously starring at him now, he was obliviously starring straight across the grass into the opening of the woods.

I looked in into the woods one last time, holding my breath and trying to focus on the reality that my kids were never returning home again. But in a glimpse, there was a flickering light. Flickering as the trees blocked it, I looked closer. I could see a tall figure. It must have been Anthony. I turned around to Oli again.

"Is that... Anthony?" I murmured.

Oli stood up, grabbing the banister and jumping forward onto the gravel. "Shit!" He shouted. He started running towards the forest opening.

I couldn't see whether Anthony had the kids or not. Oli was in the way. Those few seconds of curiosity made me feel so very uncomfortable. I didn't know whether Oliver was shouting in joy or in sadness. Regrets filled my mind. Everything I had done to myself had affected my own kids. Kids shouldn't run away. Ever.

"Anthony!" I called, stumbling along behind Oli. He stopped, and grabbed his stomach, flailing his arms behind his head. I finally caught up to him and got to see a closer look.

Anthony gripped tightly onto a soaking wet little girl and was being followed by a pale as ice boy who was missing his shoes. My heart skipped a beat. I covered my mouth in relief and felt like I could cry.

Tears rolling down my cheek, I ran forward, grasping out for my babies. "Come here!" I cried, smiling and falling to my knees. Hanley toppled onto my lap and I grasped him tightly, stroking his rough brown hair and touching his wet cheeks.

I looked up to see Oli grabbing Sienna. Her body flopped into his arms. Like a dead flower, he head wilted against Oli's chest. Her eyes were closed and she looked lifeless.

"Wait..." I cried. "Wait!" I started shouting. I felt like nobody could hear me. Oli was already running away with her back to the house. "Come on! Please!" I shouted, grabbing Hanley and pulling him along fast beside me. I heard the door close on the front of the house. It startled me more. I needed to get to my baby.

Notes

Sorry for it being long since I last updated. Hopefully Sienna will be alright! :) Leave a comment please!
