CHAPTER 5

"I-Eislyn?" I whispered as my eyes welled up again. The girl returned a mischievous grin, the lavender scent coming from her confirmed that it was Eislyn but...she..couldn't be back.

As much as I hated to admit it, there was no way. She had a grave too, she couldn't...be alive. I couldn't ever see her again. The weight of the words hit me but I wouldn't collapse in front of a little girl. "Who are you?" I said, a bit more clearly.

"Eislyn Banks, your sister," the girl said loudly.

The girl's voice was completely like my sister's. I took a step back but lost my footing, falling onto the ground. I sighed and spoke in a colder tone, "You can't be my sister, just tell me who you are and how you know me."

"I already did, Sisi," she said, giggling a bit. But that name changed everything, the only person who called me Sisi was my sister and no one except my parents knew she called me that. I gasped and said, "E-Eislyn, is that really you?"

"Yup! Did you miss me?" she said, a bright smile appearing on her face. I gave her the tightest hug as a response but my head was swirling with questions.

Why? How? When?

I was so confused but all I could think of at the moment was that my sister was back. I soaked her shoulder with tears as they flowed out. I couldn't be any happier, all my worries faded away into the background.

After all these years, Eislyn was back. I was letting go of the pain, anger, the past, my mistakes, my hate. I was surrendering everything just because I'd just found a reason to live. Hope finally bloomed in me, just a couple minutes ago I was looking for ways through which I could escape living and now, happiness was streaking through me.

I spent all my days wondering when the day would be that I would learn to appreciate my life more, find value in it, finding some form of happiness. I wanted anyone to give me back my perfect life- when all I was missing was my sister. Who was back.

I tore myself away from my happy thoughts and I asked, "You're thirteen now?" She beamed and said, "Yes! How do I look?" She made bizarre poses which made me laugh, I wiped my tears away and asked, "How...are you here? We...thought you were dead."

She asked me to lower my voice and whispered, "That's a long story, but you can't tell anyone I'm here for a while. It's a long story and it's a secret mission I'm on but I do need a favour from you."

"Anything for you, baby," I said, a bit confused but I continued looking at her fondly. Her sister looked deep in thought and after a minute, finally spoke, "I need you to murder Ireshi."

(To those of you who didn't understand [well, I didn't really explain--]: Basically, Eislyn is a figment of Sierra's imagination made from her anger, pain etc. It's sort of like Sierra's alter ego, and Eislyn existed, yes. But she never came back from the dead at all, and this was all in Sierra's head but she did do everything in real life if that makes sense. I see all the plot holes but oh well...Um, if y'all have questions I would be more than happy to answer them, okay, I hope you enjoyed, bye!)
