Twenty-Seven

Leigh turned in shock, and there stood Skylar. She looked older, of course. Her beautiful blonde curls were shorn away, like all the kids. Her eyes were the same beautiful blue shot with violet.

"Skylar!" Leigh screamed, running towards her little sister.

They collided, tears spilling out.

"Sis! Sis! I knew you would come!" Skylar was jumping up and down, and Leigh squeezed her so tight it almost hurt. Almost.

"I wish it could have been sooner. Oh my god. Oh my god," Leigh whispered, clutching Skylar tightly.

"Leigh!" Screamed a panicked voice.

Leigh turned, just in time to see a white snake coming down on Ash. Before she could do anything, Ten teleported herself in front of her, the snake hitting her right in the chest.

"No!" Screamed Leigh, running towards her.

It was too late. Ten coughed once, twice, and then she was gone. Leigh bent her head over the poor girl's body.
