Lavender and Jade had lost their parents in a car crash, the same crash killed Kai's parents. They were forced onto the streets after only one missed payment of rent. That night, Lavender dreamed of when her parents were still alive, days she deeply missed. A gentle nudge awakened Lavender; she had become a light sleeper during her time on the street. Kai was standing above her.
"It's time to get up, earn some money," he said softly, "Jade could use a proper meal."Lavender glanced over at her sister, while sleeping she looked incredibly fragile, solely skin and bones. Lavender nodded, and walked over to Jade.
"Wake up Jade, you and Kai are going to search for a cheap meal today, okay?" Lavender whispered.
"Mmm... Food sounds good..." Jade replied.
Jade followed Kai off to find a meal. Lavender remained on the street, trying to earn as much as she could.
Late in the evening, Kai returned. Alone.
Lavender became anxious. "Where is Jade?!" She cried out.
"She... she ran into the street this afternoon. She saw free hot-dogs and..." Kai didn't know what else to say, nothing would help.
Imagining Jade's broken, mangled body, tears streamed down Lavender's face. "I can't believe I trusted you!" Lavender screamed at Kai, as she ran off. She could no longer stand the sight of him.
