"Annyeong Eomma, Appa. It's been a long time since I've been here. I'm sorry I couldn't get here earlier but I had to find a day where I could sneak out so Lily wouldn't know. I'm sorry. I know that you'd be happy to see her but you know that it's dangerous for her to be here. I'm not strong enough to fully protect her so I wouldn't forgive myself if something were to happen to her. Especially when he's still around... Well I don't have much time before Lily wakes up so... I really miss you and Lily as well. I hope that you're watching over us. We're doing fine and it's pretty hard but yeah, it's fine because we have each other. Eomma, do you think that I'm doing everything right? Is this really the life that we have to live?... Well I'm not sure what to do anymore. Do I have to keep going for... for what? What am I actually doing? Why can't you be here by my side and tell me what to do?..." I wiped my tears away and put the white Roses down on the grave. Our parents were buried near the lake, deeper in the forest. Lily doesn't know that they're lying there. It's too dangerous for her to know. She thinks that their body's were burned within the accident. And it's actually better for her to think that. I bowed to our parents one last time and made my way towards our house. The sun started to rise and I had to be home before Lily wakes up. I looked at my phone and saw that it was eight am. Well it's Sunday so she'll be sleeping late. Also, she was pretty exhausted from our cleaning session yesterday. As I made my way through the forest I looked around. The leaves are falling. I guess Winter is coming, unfortunately. I'm happy that it will snow and be cold but, that day will also come soon. I looked at the blue-grey sky. Will that pain ever go away? Or is it my punishment for not protecting them right? Back then...

"Wake up, lil sis. I made pancakes for breakfast. Wake up before it gets cold." I kissed her on her forehead and waited for her to wake up. Soon I was greeted with a bright smile. "Unni. You're the beeest sister in the whole world, you know?" She snuggled herself to me and I giggled at her cuteness. I helped her get up and pushed her into the bathroom. I got down and finished preparing breakfast when Lily came down. We sat down and started to eat. "Hey, Lily" "Hmm?" She looked like a hamster with full with pancakes. I laughed and patted her head as she gave me a questioning look. When is this girl going to grow up? " Want to go for a walk into town? There are less people today because of the cold weather so it should be ok going together." She started coughing and stared at me with disbelieve. "Unni, are you sure it's ok? I mean I'd love to go with you but is it really ok ?" " Of course it is. Hurry and eat up so we can go early and stop by the bookstore. I forgot to return a book and I'd better do it today before I forget. It's good that the Ahjumma gave me a spare key." Lily didn't even listen till the and as she stuffed with the leftover pancakes and sprinted upstairs to change into warmer clothes. I smiled and put the dishes into the sink. I guess this has to wait till later.

It was really nice to go hand in hand with my sister through the streets and talking about stuff like her school or my work. It's been a long time since we've done this. Six years ago, as our parents died, I was lost and didn't know what to do. A close friend of our mother was at the time there and helped me a little to settle thinks. My mother asked her to help us a little out and tell me not to be scared and that I will handle it well, because she believes in me. It wasn't much but her words really encouraged me a little. She told me that it was better if I would hide the fact that we're sisters and handled some paper thinks that I would need in the Future like a school qualification so that I can work later on. I didn't go to school because our parents taught me everything at home. I'm gratefull to her for what she did back than but after three weeks, she just disappeared, without saying anything. I regret that I couldn't search for her because of my sister but with the time I guess that she just fulfilled her promise to our mom and got back to her own family. As we walked down the street where the bookstore is, I became a little uneasy. Suddenly, I felt that something was wrong and I started to look around. I knew that it would be quieter, but there wasn't even one person out here. That's suspicious. " Ne Unni, what's wrong?" Lily looked at me with a worried face. I guess she also felt that something's wrong as she gripped my hand tighter. I squeezed her hand and smiled down at her. " Nothing it's just quieter as I thought. Let's go return the book and go somewhere else, shall we?" She didn't look convinced but nevertheless nodded and we started to walk faster. I was relieved as we saw the bookstore in front of us but stopped as someone stepped out of the store. The Ahjumma was looking in our direction and I felt uneasy. She looked like her but her eyes were different... They were black. I started to panic and turned us around to go back but there were other people blocking our way. I looked behind us and saw that we were being caged in by those people with black eyes. " Unni what's going on? What are they doing? I'm scared." She grabbed my arm and started shaking me. I hid Lily behind my back and stared at the bookstore owner. " Ahjumma! What's going on here?" " Oh shut up you little brat! You thought that you could deceive us and live your happy life as a Witch?!" What?! how do they know about it? I was carefull and never used my powers nor talked about something like that. How did that happen? " Listen you Evil ! We don't know what you planned to do with our peaceful town but we're not going to let you get away with this!" "Yeah you should better prepare yourself and your little sister!" " You're really shameless! Coming to this town and deceiving us! I mean, not that demons like you would know what shame is, let alone human emotions!" My heart stopped at that moment. I thought my legs would give in if Lily didn't hold me. My greatest fear... just became reality. " No... NO! That's not true. Please listen to me! Yes you're right I'm a Witch but I didn't try to deceive you nor have I anything planned out! I just tried to find a place for me and my sister to stay and I feared that you wouldn't accept me so I hid myself and my sister. Please try to understand. I'm not evil or anything like that. I just wanted to fit in and live a normal life!" "Bull! You wanted to fit in, a normal life? You´re not even human! And how do you think that we would believe you if you deceived us like that! No, we're not letting you go like that. Grab her! And don't forget that little sister of her. We have to see if she's a Witch too!" That's when it all came down on me. They wouldn't listen, no matter what I say to them. I tried to think of a way to escape from here when I heard Lily scream. I turned around and saw that someone was dragging her at her hair. And that was the moment were it happened... I snapped. I lost control over my feelings and the only thought that I had was: Rescue Lily. My body reacted to my emotions and the sky turned dark grey and suddenly a snow storm moved on. The storm irritated the people for a while and I grabbed Lily out of the mans grip and blew snow on the crowed in front of us. We made our way through and began to run. As I turned around I saw them running close behind us and swiftly froze the street behind us and made them slip on the Ice. That would buy us enough time to run into the forest and to our house. " Unni what are we doing here? They're going to know were we live, we can't be here!" " You're right, we can't be here. They already know what I am and they think that you're also a witch!" I got louder with my voice and didn't see how frightened she was until I saw her tears streaming down. Aish, it's not the time to panic for me and release it all on her. I kneed beside her and wiped her tears away. " Hey I'm sorry for shouting, I'm just stressed right now ok. Listen, we can't stay here anymore. You saw how serious they were. We have to get away from here as fast as possible. Go upstairs and pack a few pieces of clothes and then come down. I'll get our money and some things from our parents. Now hurry! We have only a few minutes until they come find us." We both run in our destinations and hurriedly packed what we needed to take out of the house. Five minutes later we were in front of the door and looked one last time behind at our house, our one and only home, before leaving it for a while, or maybe even forever. I took Lily's hand in mine and squeezed it a little. She gave me a week smile and we started off into the woods. I don't know what exactly happened or why all of the people had black eyes, but once I know for sure: If we wanted to survive this night, than we had to run. As fast and far away as possible from our so called "Home".
