I can never see some things, because my heart is afraid to go into the darkness. Lucy! Why doesn't everything become quiet here so that I don't get lost in those voices? I can hear the loneliness inside me.

The Orphans in the Woods
After Gertrude put on her favorite pink shirt and some clean jeans, she began to look through her clothes to see what she should pack. She pulled out her suitcase, the one her mom had given to her that she had never used yet, and began to put the clothes inside. She figured jeans, sweaters, basic t-shirts , socks and underwear was all she would need. She thought about her snowsuit, the one she always wore when she'd go ice-skating or playing in the snow. It was bulky and would take too much room in her suitcase, but she wanted to bring it. Maybe she could find a big bag to put it into. She turned to go back to the bathroom to grab her toothbrush, and she was slightly startled when she saw her brother standing in the doorway watching her.

The Orphans in the Woods
It was about dawn when Gertrude opened her eyes, stretched her body as she rose from her bed. She could tell that the sun hadn't completely risen yet, as her bedroom was still dark. She walked from her room out into the living room and saw that her brother was asleep on the couch. She remembered that he had tucked her into bed last night, and felt like crying knowing that Mom and Dad were no longer here to tuck him in anymore. She didn't want to wake him up so she tip-toed quietly into the kitchen to look for a snack. She found a slice of American cheese, removed the plastic film from it and began chewing on that. Then she walked out of the kitchen heading to the back of the house and before she knew it she was standing in front of her parent's bedroom at the closed door. Her memory was clouded about what she had seen. All she remembered was them on the floor and blood. But she didn't really look. What did they look like dead? Should she look again? Should she say goodbye to their bodies? She had wanted to go in there to look for more money, but was afraid. Now she was standing at the door trying to be brave. She wanted to be as helpful to her brother as she possibly could be. He was being so brave and strong.

After Rohan filled the bag with all the batteries, flashlights, and candles he could find he zipped it closed. Then he walked around the house again feeling a combination of tired, stressed, and worried. His thoughts were racing. He peeked from behind the curtain out of the living room window and saw the darkness of the night. Mom's 65 Mustang was parked in the driveway. He hadn't even noticed that the car was there when he and Gertrude got home from school. He saw the full moon and the light beam glaring from it. He remembered his mother talking about the names of faces of the moon. He remembered his sister talking about werewolves who go crazy when the moon is full. Then he started thinking about the money they had put together so far. He sat back down on the couch and re-counted.
