ighing I walk through the door Molly following me, the whole way home I had been deathly silent. She knew what was going to happen. Once Molly was inside I turn on her. "GIANT DOG? IT WAS A DAMN WOLF! WHY DID YOU TELL ME IT WAS A DOG?" I yell at her fists clenched, all the anger I had built up and suppressed yesterday came roaring back. As Ty jump to his feet waiting for the fight, he knew was coming. "Hey, would you have believed me had I told you?" She questions keeping surprisingly calm. I pause and sigh, "you're right I'm sorry." I apologize to my best friend, sitting down and rubbing my hands over my face. Ty sits back down and everyone relaxes. The room became an awkward deathly silent.

"So, what's for dinner?" Jason asks as seven o'clock rolls around. "Um I don't know, someone else can cook for once" I say. "Fine, I'll cook." Ty says after a long pause. "I'm cooking Granny Nash's Pasta." I smile it's an old recipe, but a good one. I nod my head in approval and he goes to make dinner. "Yay, I love that recipe" Molly tells me sitting down beside me. I smirk, "more than you love my Carbonara?" I question cheekily. "NO! Of course, I could never love anything more than your Carbonara, other than Granny Nash's recipe when you cook it." She tells me. I smile "that's my bestie" I mutter and she laughs.
Ty's cooking is pretty good, but then again it is a simple recipe. I sigh and begin to clean up. Molly, proceeds to help, Ty, Jason, Seth and Tony quickly follow. Ly helps by taking everything off the table, I smile at her. "Thanks for the help sweetie, now why don't you go and get ready for bed," I tell her, she nods and runs off. "Hey how come she's free to go but we're not?" Tony whines. "Because she seven and she has school in the morning," I respond. "We have school as well" Jase points out. "Yeah," I begin "but you're not seven." The boys all groan at this I smirk and we finish cleaning up, and all head off to bed.

I yawn and stretch, looking around my room I smirk when I see Molly curled up on the other side of my bed cuddling the pillow, I laugh softly and crawl out of bed. I grab my usual outfit and head for a shower. I waltz down stairs and I am greeted by the smell of pizza, I laugh as I see Jase with a pink apron on that says I heat pink. At the sound of my laughter Jason looks up. "What's so funny?" He asks confused, his face is making me laugh even harder, I point to the apron and he glances down and starts laughing as well. "Why are you wearing that?" I finally manage to calm down enough to ask. "I didn't want to ruin my outfit" he responds, shrugging. This makes me start laughing yet again, as he was in his pyjamas, which is just a pair of shorts. He just shakes his head and goes back to cooking, I check the time it was six thirty.
"Hey everyone, time to get up." I call from the middle of the hallway. Everyone slowly comes out of their rooms, except Lyra, she came out straight away. I smile, "c'mon kid time to get ready for school" I say. She nods and follows me down to the kitchen. I serve out the pizza that Jase had just finished cooking, I sat down and ate it Lyra sitting across from me and I poke my tongue out at her and she giggles and does the same. We sit and have a tongue poking fight while we eat our breakfast.

By the time everyone else went to school I discover that I'm running late for work. Rushing around I manage to get my uniform on, and get out the door in under five minutes. Thankful that I have the car today I race to work. I work my usual hours seven to ten thirty, just as I finish signing out I see Molly walk in. "Hey, good to see your here," I mutter to her softly. "Good to be here" she mutters back. I leave work and drive home.
Walking through the door I strip and get changed. I walk up to my room and grab my notepad, I start to draw, and I don't pay much attention I just let my hand draw. I notice that it's a city. When I finish I gasp as I realise that its home, it's Citarinty. I can't believe it. Sighing I snap the pad shut and blink away tears. I lean back and close my eyes.

"TYLER!"I yell out to my brother, "WHERE ARE YOUR?" Distress lacing my voice. I can hear someone coughing. "Over here Win" Ty calls out. I breathe a sigh of relief. "C'mon, let's find the others and get outta here" I mutter to him. He nods his head in agreement. As we walk around the ashes rain down from the burning trees. I pause "SETH, JASON, TONY, LYRA?" I call out. My eyes dart around frantically. I suddenly halt. "NO!" I yell out shocking everyone including myself. "No, no, no" I mutter racing towards the scene.
I can't believe it. "M-mum" I say looking at her mangled almost unrecognisable head. My eyes shift to the one next to hers, I don't even need to see the face to know who it is. "Daddy" I croak out. "Wi-" Tyler starts, but quickly stops as he sees our parents. I can hear more footsteps, I look up, for once not ashamed of the tears. "Win, what happened?" Seth asks softly. "I-I don't know" I whisper, but it's a lie I know what happened. I saw it. They were pulled apart, piece by piece. I get up and look around searching for the rest of their body's. I finally find them, carefully placing it all together. I give them the traditional Fae send off. "From the stars we came, to the stars we return, immortal like the light, farewell" I mummer the words and light the bodies on fire, we watched them, we watched their spirits return to the heavens.
The ground starts to shake and rumble, "oh no" I mutter "RUN!" I yell picking up Lyra I begin to run. I want out here isn't safe for us anymore, I want to leave, I must leave with my siblings I must keep them safe. I must get them out. Suddenly there was a bright light, I gasp 'falling' through it, I land hard on the ground, the last thing I see before I close my emerald eyes is my little sister landing beside me.

Gasping I open my eyes.
