Promises

"Im home!" Silver shouted. "Your lucky that you got home on time. Aunt Henna would've killed you!" said Astra. "I know..." Silver and Astra were sisters. Silver was twelve years old with unusual silver eyes. She had long, brunette hair. She wore the same, torn blue sundress every day because the family couldnt aford good clothes. Now, Astra, was very strange. She had hair that was almost like a dark gold. She spent most of her day in her room, staring at a book with her green eyes. The dress she had many tears on it, though she rarley went out. She was seventeen, and at midnight, she'd turn eighteen. "What does Aunt Henna want this time?" Silver asked with a whine in her voice. "Go fetch some water. Aunt Henna has a cold and she wants to steam it over the coals tonight." Astra commanded. "Fine..."

Silver walked over to the well with a rusted bucket. She was just about to scoop up the water when it started rippling. Silver looked around and saw nothing. No wind was blowing, no leaves were falling, and no boys were throwing rocks. She shrugged, collected the water, and walked away.

Silver walked into her home and herd her aunt scream at her. "SILVER! GET OVER HERE" Silver put a scared look on her face and put the water on the coals. "GET TO BED!!" "Ok..." Silver jumped into her bed, which was right next to Asrta's. "Night." said Astra, half awake. A few hours later, Silver woke up to a strong wind. She stared at the window for awhile, hoping to fall asleep. A man's shadow started to form at the curtains. Silver got up and slowly walked over. Step by step... Step by step... Step by step... She tugged open her curtains, and everything stopped. The screaming wind wind decended to a faint wisper. The man disapeared. Silver went back to bed with the curtains open. She layed down, when a leaf fell on her. She picked it up and threw it off her bed. Then, more and more came in and started to circle her. She looked over and saw the same thing was happening to Astra. Soon the leaves were thicker then ever. It was almost like a tornado. The leaves spun faster and faster, then suddenley dissapeared. The leaves were gone, and so were Silver and Astra.
