Snippet #2387007

Emeline had clinched her hand around her sisters before Siana had even noted the sound of the choppers, but at the time she figured it was simply a response to talking to another, as she never really got out. She was, of course, proved horribly wrong when she was in the middle of "Well I know my way around the school already, but if you know how to hunt I have a spare bow- it would be fun" when the choppers flew by and Sage got angry. At that point she hefted a shivering Eme onto her back. She was heavy, but Siana was used to it. When the windows fell and Sage jumped in front of them, Siana turned and held Eme to her chest like she was a newborn baby.

Siana dropped Eme back to the ground after a while, but she still held onto the child for dear life. Emeline whistled a high long note and a series of notes, and Siana nodded and turned to Sage. "Hey, if on our way back we don't get hit by another chopper, we should go hunting some time. I can't with Emeline normally, but if two people were there to watch her, I'm sure it'd be fine" Siana said smiled before going after Eme, who had already ran over to the door. Outside, there were throngs of scared looking people running about. She didn't know where they were going- a bunker or closet perhaps? Didn't matter to Siana, so she grabbed her sister and placed her on her back, as if she were giving her a piggy back ride. Emeline was heavy, but Siana was more than used to it as she held her like this at least once a day. Siana carefully avoided the people until she got to the front door of the building and flicked it open. Outside, it was fairly calm, save for a few people who had come from the building and one car that had crashed into a tree. Siana didn't stop to look at what was inside- she didn't need Emeline scared more than she was. Siana could see the smoke of the remains of the choppers rising up, and she inwardly grimaced.

Once Siana had gotten them into the yard, she rolled Emeline off of her back and grabbed up her bow and arrows. The last thing she wanted in the world was for them to get damaged. The pair both walked inside and Siana pointed to Emeline's door. The smaller girl nodded and walked over to it and inside it. It had no windows because they had removed them when kids along the street would bully Eme. Siana, bow still in hand simply because she had pretty much forgotten she was carrying it, walked to her mother's room. Her mother didn't look much better and looked asleep, so Siana shut the door and locked it with the key above the door frame- Emeline had been known to wake her mother from her rest for truly trivial things, so Siana started to make a point out of locking that door when her mother was sleeping. Her mom could open it from the inside when she was ready.

Siana stepped into her sister's room and propped the bow and the arrows against the bed before sitting on the floor with her sister. Emeline was stacking block after block of Lego's into what looked like the base of a house of some sort.

"Hey, want my help?" Siana asked, and when she received a nod in return, she began to pick up blocks from around the room and bring them over to Emeline. She wanted her sister to forget the whole chopper thing because that might cause problems later on, and truthfully Siana wanted to forget as well.
