The next time Lucy woke it was to the burning sensation in her arm, she opened her eyes expecting it to be pitch black, but to her surprise the room was lit with what seemed to be a million tiny candles all in a circle surrounding the bed. About the same time she registered the candlelight she also found out that her hands were tied to the bedpost, same with her feet. The burning in Lucy’s arm increased, she looked down to see that she had two shallow cuts on her right arm and there standing by her right side was Katie.
I looked up at my burning house. My little sister, Jamie looked down at me from our shared bedroom window. Jamie slammed on the glass and screamed for help. I looked into Jamie's eyes and saw the fear there, I could hear my little sisters screams and pleas for help even over the sirens and the roar of the fire. my parents were already gone, I knew this because when I'd tried to wake them up and tell them about the fire they wouldn't move. As I thought about this my eyes filled with tears, I wanted to stay with my mommy forever, leaving mommy felt like abandonment but I knew I had to go back for Jamie. Mommy would want me to protect Jamie.
