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

Anthony's POV

Rain grabbed Hanley from beside me. I looked down at the shivering little girl I was holding. I wasn't sure if she was conscious.

"Sienna?" I whispered her name and rested my cheek on her wet head.

Oli came up to me closely. He looked over the girl before snatching her away from me. Her head lolled against him gently and her eyes rolled around before closing. Before I could say anything, Oli had turned away and had started to carry her back to the house.

Rain turned her head, still grasping at the little boy who was stumbling at her feet. She saw Oli heading towards the house, the panic in his walk was familiar. She started shouting at him, but to her dismay, I don't think he was listening. She dragged Hanley back with her, running quickly after the two.

I stood here in silence, swaying to the wind and shivering in the wet. The forest didn't seem so dark now. It took me a few seconds to understand the whole situation. They were obviously worried about their kids, especially Rain. She looked distraught. Yet I somehow managed to save the day again? I would have words with them soon. I should teach them how to look after their kids.

I could see Rain's figure blocking the light in the window, moving forward and backwards. I looked closer at the house. I could barely see him, but Hanley was sat on the front steps. I started to wander over to him. He watched me as I got closer.

"Come on, kiddo. Get into the warm. Don't sit out here." I said, brushing against his arm.

He didn't move.

"What's up?" I said, kneeling down beside him.

"What if she get's sick from the cold?" Hanley finally said. "It'll be my fault."

My heart sank. I placed my hand on his shoulder. "It's difficult, looking after people. You can see that. I don't think it's your fault. I think your mum and dad have something to do with it as well. Plus, Sienna is a fighter. You know that. She'll be fine. I promise."

I'd promised a lot to these kids. But I wasn't entirely sure if I could keep all of the promises. How could I control if Sienna gets sick or not? Who knows. I shuddered at the thought of her being ill, let alone dying. If she died, this family would be so wrecked.

I wondered inside with Hanley, avoiding the mess of the two parents who were scrambling around for their daughter. Walking up the stairs, I led Hanley up to his room. I tucked him inside his bed and made sure he was warm again.

"Goodnight, Uncle Anthony." He whispered.

"Goodnight, kid." I replied.

I walked downstairs and into the nursery. Oli was sat in the rocking chair, grasping one of Sienna's blankets. He looked shaken up, and he didn't bother to look at me when I walked inside.

"Is she alright?" I asked him.

"Rain is giving her a bath right now. I think she's okay. She scarred me. She was so cold, Anthony. I had to get her away from Rain at first. Otherwise Rain would have panicked."

He stood up and headed into the bathroom. Rain was knelt beside the bath, the ends of her hair wet and her sleeves soggily rolled up.

"Hey. Is she alright?" I sat beside Rain.

Upon looking into the bath, Sienna was still fully clothed. She shivered as Rain poured water down her back and stroked her. The color had returned to her skin, and she was crying. I sighed in relief.

"She's alright. Just a bit cold and wet. Can you help me get her clothes off?" She replied.

I helped to stand Sienna up as Rain removed her wet clothes. Sitting her back down, I spoke to her. "Honey." I whispered to her. "Don't cry. You're scarring your mommy sick."
