Leney ran up the steps to Speare Mansion. Her sister might have been content with being sent home with no explanation, but she definitely wasn't and she definitely would not be going quietly; especially without an explanation.
The door was open so she just ran straight through it and into the hall where she came to a stop, looking around. Empty.
Panic was rising in her chest, something bad had happened, something very very bad, she knew it. But she did not know what.
And she couldn't find Noah or Nate or Chase and the absense of her brothers and brother type figure was worrying her beyond belief.
"ANYONE? Please!?" She yelled to the house at large.

Rory put down the bag she was packing for Maddie. She had wanted to get out of here as fast as possible, and Rory really wasn't in the mood to argue.
She sighs, hearing a voice from downstairs. She wipes away the tears forming in her eyes as she walks down the steps, stopping when she realizes who was waiting at the bottom of them."Leney." She whispers tearfully.

Leney ran down the hall, seeing no one, then turned and started up the stairs before she ran right into someone.
She drew back slightly to see who it was, then flung herself at her again, wrapping her arms round her, "Rory, what-...Rory, I can't, can't find Nate or Noah o-or anyone and-...Rory..."

She sighs heavily, wrapping her arms round her younger cousin, pulling her close.
"I thought you had been sent home," She murmurs, brushing the hair back off her forehead,"You shouldn't be here sweetheart."

"No, I w-won't go," She mumbles, burrying her head into her shoulder, "Not yet. Where's Nate? Where's Noah? Ch-Charlie just came to get me and C-Claire and I had to k-kick him to get away a-and where are my brothers, Rory? And Chasey? A-and everyone else?"

She pulls Jackie closer, not sure what she could tell her,"Sweetheart, I think it's better if you go home and be with your mum and sister, we'll all go down and see you in a bit...we've got a few things we need to take care of first."
We need to finish rounding up the bodies before we can go break the news to everyone

"I don't want to go home!" Her voice was shriller than normal, body tensing slightly in case she needed to escape from Rory too, "I want my brothers and I can't find them! W-what's happening?"

"Sweetie," Rory starts softly,"I'm sorry...Noah's gone Leney."

"Gone? Gone where?" She asks frantically, although a large but mostly ignored part of her knows exactly where.

"He's dead hun." Rory says quietly,"So's Keria and Jack," She mumbles, tears forming in her eyes, not having the heart to tell her that the twins were gone as well.

"That's not funny," She said after a moments silence, "Who put you up to that? It's not funny."

"Leney," Rory says, putting her hands on her cousin's shoulders,"This isn't a joke sweetie."

"Then what is it?" She asks, although she already knows. Her head just can't quite wrap itself around the fact yet for some reason.
It was like hearing Dad had died, when her mum had just hugged both her and Claire and Claire had cried and she'd just sat there and waited and waited for it to sink in for the longest time.

Rory says silent, not sure what else to tell her, just pulling her closer,"I'm so sorry sweetie."

She stayed very still for what seemed like a long time, but probably wasn't, not really sure what she was supposed to do or say or anything.
Until eventually, it clicked into place somewhere at the back of her head, and then like a spark, flared through the rest of her head, her body until she choked slightly from realising she hadn't been breathing.
She didn't want Rory to say that, she didn't want to be held, she didn't want that because that's what you do when someone's not going to be okay and you're trying to pretend that they will be and that's not fair. She bolts suddenly, trying to scramble out of her arms and stumbling backwards and having to catch the banister to stop herself from falling.
She stayed still for enough time to get her balance, then ran as fast as she could down the hall, slamming her shoulder hard into the door to try and get it to open. She wanted to escape, she wouldn't come back, not now. Cos then it'd be okay, if she escaped before it caught up with her.

"Leney," Rory calls after her, walking briskly after her younger cousin.
She hadn't expected this, well a part of her had, seeing as MJ had reacted the same way when her parents had died and taking into account Leney was set to being just like MJ>
"Leney, please.." She says quietly, not taking a step towards her, but staying at the bottom step of the stairs.

"No!" She shouted, her voice souding younger and more scared than she meant to.
I am not a child, I am not a child, I am not a child...
You are Leney, you are. Stop pretending you're not and it might be a little easier.
"NO!" She shouted again, this time at herself, fumbling in her haste to open the door but unable to get her hands to work properly.

Something inside Rory snapped. She had, had enough of her cousins acting like children when for once it was time to be serious.
"Jacqueline Robyn Dawson that's enough!"

"No it is not fucking enough!" She screamed, she didn't think she'd ever shouted at Rory before, and she was sure she'd never sworn at her. She tried not to swear in front of her cousins, only her direct brother and possibly Chase because he seemed to deserve it sometimes.
"It is not fucking enough! I want my brother back! I want my dad! I want everything to stop being so fucked up because it's not fair and I want to stop being scared of everything!"

"That's more then quiet enough!" Rory yells back, taking hold of her younget cousins by the arms."Don't you think we've all had more then enough young lady?! Your not the only one who's lost someone, far from it. You need to stop acting like a child and grow up, things aren't fair. That's just the way this fucked up life is."
