Chapter 5
We start to walk back to the mansion that we are staying in for the weekend, me never leaving Kaoru's side. He chuckles.
"I'm fine, Sabrina. There's no need to cling to my side," he points out. Everyone glances back at me.
"I-i... I have to tell you guys something," I say. Kaoru nods with a small smile.
"Ok. You can tell us when we get to the mansion," he says. I nod. After walking for a few minutes, we head inside to what looks like the dinning room. Instead of following everyone inside, I tell them that I'll be back and head to my room to change.
I open the door to the dinning room and all conversation stops. I slowly walk over and sit next to Honey. I take a deep breath and close my eyes.

"Rina!" A nine year old girl called out to her twin. The girl looked up, her emerald eyes shining with happiness. She came up to her sister, who was sitting on the edge of a cliff, feet dangling off the edge, looking at the sun dip down below the water.
"Careful Sabrina. You don't want to accidentally fall do you?" Rina said, staying clear of the edges. She glanced at the uncaring girl, making sure she is safe. Soon, a cracking noise pierced the air. Rina looked towards the rock while Sabrina looked around, trying to find the source of the noise. She stood up, the cracking noise louder this time, and she finally noticed the long cracked on the rocks, separating her from her sister. Sabrina's eyes filled with fear. Her sister stepped up to the edge of the cracking and held out her hands, not able to reach her sister. "Walk slowly over to me. One step at a time," Rina told her shaking sister. Sabrina took a small step towards her, the crack growing looked get and deeper. Sabrina winced. "It's ok. I got you. I promise," Rina reassured her sister. Sabrina shook her head, scared.
"I'm scared," She whispered.
"It's ok. Just a few more steps. Please," She begged. Sabrina moved another step closer. Then another. She was finally within arms length of her sister. She reached out her hand, but the rock gave way. She plummeted down into the water, her sister right after her. Before they were both engulfed in water, her sister pulled her close and we hit the water with a smack. My back hit a rock, cutting my back. I heard the sickening sound of Rina's head hitting a rock. I grab her hand and pull her up. As we surfaced, I saw that she was unconsious. I did my best to pull her up to shore with a cut up back, but thankfully someone came out and picked up Rina, putting me on his back. I felt weak, and I was scared. I was scared for Rina and myself. Once we got on land, the man set Rina down and helped me off his back. I crawled over to Rina.
"Rina. Please. Wake up. Come on Rina. This isn't a game please!" I said, shaking my sister's shoulder, trying to get her to wake up, to get her to respond. Nothing. I felt the hot tears running down my cheeks. "P-please. Don't leave me," I whispered, resting my head on her shoulder. Silent sobs racked my body as the realization that my sister was dead hit me hard. My parents were at my side within seconds once they got through the crowd. That was the last time I saw my sister, and that was the time that I changed from Sabrina the joyful, cheery girl, to Sabrina the dull, antisocial, mute girl.

I put my head in my hands, feeling the tears falling down, making their own paths. I felt a pair of small arms wrap around my shoulders. I lifted my head slightly and saw Honey with tears in his eyes, hugging me. I twist in his grip and returned the hug, burying my head in his shoulder.
"That makes sense. It explains why you were clinging to Kaoru earlier," Tamaki said.
"It does. You mentioned in your story that you cut your back on a rock. What happened to that?" Haruhi pointed out. I released Honey and stood up. Turning around, I raised the bottom of my shirt slightly, just so they could see the bottom a scar. I a few collective gasps. I dropped my shirt and move my hair over my left shoulder, revealing the top of a scar on my right shoulder. Moving my hair back over my shoulder, I faced everyone.
"Was that... two scars or..." Kaoru trailed off.
"That was one scar," I confirmed.
