*Skylas POV*
"You deserved to die four years ago
I don't care about your education
Both of you can run away and watch me care
If you two dare to come out of that room I will give you a mark you'll never forget
Skyla, if you go near my bedroom again I will hit you is that clear?
If you dare tell your aunty about this there will be a punishment
Robyn, stop whining like a sissy girl, I only hit you
Skyla wake up wake up!!!!!!"
"Wake up Skyla, it's me Robyn, wake up!!!"
I opened my eyes and my reality was finally warping around me, although it seemed I was in a sickening state. I must have pulled my mask off in my sleep and was currently in a mass of my own sweat and tears. I felt an immense pain in my chest like all my ribs were breaking and collapsing my lungs and I was choking.
"Skyla, are you okay?" I heard Dan and Phil rushing into the room just as Robyn was pushing the mask up to my face.
"I don't know, I really don't know," I said through gaspy breaths, just at that moment one of the twins started screaming.
"We'll get it don't worry Robyn." Dan stammered pulling Phil along behind him, my breathing had calmed but the nightmare was replaying over and over.
"It was about dad, everything he said to us, every action, I could picture every bruise and every wound and I can't get that out of my head," I cried, reaching for Robyn's hands. Robyn came and sat down on my bed next to my head.
"Do you remember when we would share a bed to get through the night without you having that reoccurring nightmare, and you used tap each one of my fingers as I told you about the golden days and how beautiful you were and it cheered you up so much," Robyn smiled at me and I nodded, I did remember vaguely.
"It was so uplifting to see that smile that you sometimes had and when I saw you for the first time today the first thing i noticed was the smile on your face, admittedly I didn't recognise you at first but that's because my baby sister's all grown up and I will never forgive myself for letting the care worker take you on that day and I never stopped thinking about you. One of the times when I felt like a real hero is when I was watching YouTube and one of your videos came up, I watched it and realised it was you so I went onto your channel and tried to find a video which had information on how you were doing and I found the one that said 'dear Robyn'. I watched how you said that I'd saved your life and you always thought of me as more a father than I brother because I practically raised you. It made me so happy, but now we are back together and I realised just how much I missed you, I just wish that idiot drove more sober and the car crash never happened and then we wouldn't have all these nightmares to fight with."
I sighed. "I missed you Robyn, and I want to come and see you some time when you move into the farm. Promise me you will never change this room though!" I said... Robyn tapped my nose lightly,"of course baby sister."

The next day Dan and Phil decided to stay and get some work done and look after the twins whilst me and Robyn went to court. I had dressed myself smartly in a black skater dress and black cardigan, I put on some less punk rock eyeliner and generally less makeup. Robyn wore a suit and I hardly recognised him, we both naturally had curly strawberry blonde hair and green eyes, although my hair was dyed black I decided not to straighten my hair which left me with dainty loose ringlets which I hadn't really liked up until I saw Robyn again. Robyn's hair looked a lot like the strawberry blonde version of pjs and it was so nice to see. I really did like Robyn's hair.
At the court room I was so nervous to be seeing my dad for the first time in ten years but first I had to meet up with my old social worker and the lawyer. I had a lot of bad memories with the particular social worker I was going to be seeing so I promised myself to stay calm.
"Hello Skyla it's me Vera, oh my look how much you've grown up!" She smiled sickeningly.
"I've not grown in about three years and I've recently given birth so I'm going to be looking a bit older don't you think Vera?" I said sarcastically, my brother saw the tension and looked at Vera coldly who was giving me the evils.
"The Åhlbürg children please and miss Vera cole. Please step this way." An upper class man came and fetched us from the waiting area. I felt my heart flutter and twist itself as I walked towards the door.
"Mr Kristoffer Åhlbürg is already in court but do not worry, you are safe from harms way. I've talked with him and he has improved himself drastically." The man said, it didn't ease me that much though. I couldn't even remember what colour eyes my dad had, and they would probably be the first thing I notice when I see his face for the first time. The man opened the door and everyone was silent, apart from us there were only a few more people in the room.
"All rise!" A figure said as my 'dad' walked down to the other side of the benches, followed by an officer and the judge. I took one glance at him and it all came flooding back, I tried not to panic so I turned to face Robyn who was repeatedly rubbing my hand. We were both stressed.
