//------------------------------// // 10 years later... // Story: Winter & Dagi // by Sparkling blaze //------------------------------// Rebecca's POV It feels good to be home. I've been in that hospital off and on for ten years. Ten years of hardly ever seeing any of my family. Ten years of not being able to do all the normal things someone my age would get to do. But the worst part of all is no one but Tifany knows I'm here. I hear the lock of the door as she gets home from school. "Hey sis!"She tells me. "I'm jealous of you Tify,getting to hang out with your friends and boyfriend everyday."I tell her."Plus this modeling thing seems so cool." "Oh,c'mon Becca,I know aunt Sunset will let you officialy come home soon."She told me as she got her jacket off. Maybe I could switch with her,maybe I wouldn't have to wait.That's what I wanted to talk with her about. "About that, I have an idea." I told her. "What is it?" She asked. "You know how we look alike?" I started. "Yeah, it's because we're twins." "How about we switch places? I can be you for awhile. And like you said it wouldn't be for long." Tifany blinked,and then started laughing and when she realized I was serious she sighed and said: "Rebecca,sis,I really don't want to.I have Ashley,and Jack and my job.Plus I'd rather it be me and you when you aunt Sunset lets you finally come home,not me being you,and you being me." "But Tif-" "Don't worry,you can still stay here tho,I know how much you hate that place I hate it too." "Thanks, it's better then nothing." I told her." But now something I need to ask. How's Snow?" "Not good." She told me. "I want to see her." "You know she'll tell mom she saw you." "I know..but still it's not fair being this colse and not being able to see her." "Fine.I'll sneak you into her room when both her and mom are sleeping."She said. "Thanks sis,you're the best." Later that night me and Tifany went to Snow's room,she was sleeping,I was amazed by how big she was,she was almost my height,but I could see she was not well by her face,she was really pale. And before we could leave the room she woke up. "Becca?" She asked. "You're home?" I hugged her. "It's me, but I can't come home yet, aunt Sunset hasn't let me out yet." "But you're home now, can't you just stay?" "I wish I could. I have to go now, remember you can't tell mom I was here." I went back to Tifany's room. Tifany then turned to me: "Listen aunt Sunset is gonna report you're missing really soon,maybe you should go back to the mental hospital just to sleep so you don't blow your cover.Then you return tomorrow." I didn't want to but she was right,the first place mom was gonna search for me if she knew I ran away was right here. And now both Tify and Snow knew I was here. I returned to the mental hospital and by aunt Sunset's face I could tell she was looking for me there was some time already. I walked over to her: "Hey aunt Sunny." I said giving her my best smile." "Don't aunt Sunny me. Where have you been?" She asked seeing through me. "I was...I've been around. What do you need?" "I was going to go over a couple things with you then have your mom sign the last of the paperwork to send you home." "That's great!" I shouted. "But." She cut back in. "I need to know where you've been, if you escaped again I might not be able to let you leave today." I couldn't tell her,and I did my best to hid one of Tify's knife she let me borrow,so I stayed silent. "Rebecca,where have you been?"She repeated the question. "I can't answer."I told her. "Let me check through you then."She said,as I noticed I was holding where Tify's knife where. "No!" "Rebecca show me what you have." She told me. "I told you I can't. Please can we just forget about this? I asked. "You went home didn't you?" She asked me. I looked down."I...I can't tell you." She sighed. "If you would have been honest with me. I'd have let you go home today. But since you keep doing this I can't." I then feel like I'm gonna space out,and feel my hand getting on the knife,no,no,no,I didn't wanna attack aunt Sunset. "Now tell me,what have you brought with you?" Sunddely I felt like I just lost control and next thing I knew aunt Sunset was holding my wrist so I wouldn't attack her. I then started feeling dizzy,and everything went black. Next thing I knew I was in my hospital room,aunt Sunset waiting for me to wake up. "Tify borrowed you her knife,huh?" "Yeah, I don't feel safe without one." I told her. "No one is going to hurt you here." She told me. "I know that. But at the same time what if someone tries?" "Why would someone try and hurt you?" "I've hurt a lot of people."I felt my voice breaking."I killed dad.But I don't want to hurt them.It's only fair they hurt me too."I could feel the tears falling down my face.I had got an hold of my emotions lately,but everytime I tried to hurt someone I started breaking down,I felt so guilty.I wanted people to hurt me instead. "Becca you don't deserve that at all." Aunt Sunset told me. "Yes I do, after everything I've done." "Nobody would want to do that." "You should." "What do you mean?" "Dad was your little brother right?" "You know he was." "I know what I would want to do if someone ever did anything to Snow." "Okay,okay,I see what you're saying,but I know you're sick Becca,you yourself said you don't want to hurt anybody.That's why you're here,so you can get better,so you don't hurt nobody else,and after a time you can have a normal life like your sisters.Tify was able to get out of here,you'll be too."She said as she gave me a hug. I returned it. "Just don't escape again ok?"She asked. I nodded,but I couldn't promise,this place scared me I just wanted to be home. Things went back to normal after that. I guess aunt Sunset really wasn't mad at me. Mom came and saw me the next day. "So I'm the only one that doesn't get to know you came home huh?" She asked me. "If I told you you would have called aunt Sunset." I told her. "You're right, but still." "I'm sorry mom,it's just I miss home and here is scary." "It's ok baby,but you need to be here so you can get better."She told me as she hugged me."Soon you'll be home with us ok?" Soon she went home,I wanted to go with her so bad.
